WickedIcon posted:I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 90s Gamera movies, which Mill Creek has been giving really good releases recently, not the lovely 60s movies Shout Factory are putting out. Yup, these. Gamera 3 was supposed to come out yesterday but none of the stores around me have heard anything about it. On the one hand, I'm not surprised that Best Buy didn't get in a niche monster movie, but on the other hand I remember them having the Gamera 1 and 2 blu-ray box set on release day.

So they put a visual 'hook' on the cover: The children with guns. And then they go, "oh wait we can't have kids with guns on the cover" so they smudge the poo poo outta it in photoshop, sabotaging the picture's power completely. At least it's got a chicken.

I've just started watching the series for the first time and almost done the first two seasons. They seem fine to me and have been very enjoyable so far. Season 1 is different though because of budget (I'm guessing) and ironing out the wrinkles. My guess is that season one will benefit the most from redone effects.

Oh they are fine, until you watch the rest of the show. There's really huge leap of quality in terms of writing and everything else(Other opinions are available). Going back to those first two seasons is really bizarre, it looks the same and at the same time it's different. Though it is true that the first two seasons were riddled with problems, mainly in the writing department.

Blu-Ray.com just posted their review of Pulp Fiction. Looks like Lionsgate knocked it out of the park. Quentin Tarantino supervised and approved transfer plus alot of extras. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Pulp-Fiction-Blu-ray/3637/#Review Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Sep 29, 2011 |

I still think it looks worse than the transfers used for the various international discs. But they all seem like minor differences. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/blu-ray_reviews54/pulp_fiction_blu-ray.htm

Sporadic posted:Blu-Ray.com just posted their review of Pulp Fiction. Yeah, I saw this before and forgot to post it here. I'm sure the spergelords are going to throw a fit at some of the things mentioned in the PQ section, but honestly, if Quentin says that's how it's supposed to look, and it looks that good, I'm more than happy. Can't wait to finally own it on blu-ray.

Looks pretty fuzzy. DVDBeaver, if it is to be trusted, backs me up (Panorama vs. Lionsgate, notice the diners in the rear, the stone walls, and the white bar backer). But whatever, don't want Tarantino to bring his squadron of big-footed women to stomp me to death while he masturbates in the corner.

Every time I've ordered something out-of-stock, I've generally gotten it a week or so earlier than they estimated. It's a little longer, but if you have Prime, it's not that bad.

The beard only works because it hides the extreme smugness of his face  <--- Might as well be called  (hah, didn't know this existed)One of my favourite episodes is the traveller episode (Where No One Has Gone Before) from season one. Can't wait to see that in glorious 1080p.

There's an alternate ending called "Dirt turns to Mud" where Dirt is now a beach resort and then a last scene of Rango on a clifftop giving a speech before he rides off into the sunset on a roadrunner.

Looks like TNG won't be widescreen on Blu-Ray.The Digital Bits posted:Your first real look at the project is coming on 1/31/12 with the release of the Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Next Level Blu-ray sampler disc (SRP $21.99 - we posted the cover art yesterday). As expected, the sampler disc will include Encounter at Farpoint, Sins of the Father and The Inner Light. Here's more from the official announcement on Star Trek.com:

I wasn't expecting it to be. It'd be interesting to see a couple of widescreen episodes but overall, I'll be happy with the original ratio. I'll be grabbing the sampler for sure- Sins of the Father is a great episode and I think The Inner Light is amazing. Unless I get a lot of extra cash, I don't think I'll be getting the first season for a while but seasons 3+ are must buys for me.

TNG bluray? Hells yeah. Glad they're not loving with the aspect ratio - sure 16:9 would be nice, but if they framed it for 4:3 when filming, then that's how it's supposed to look.

I highly doubt the 16:9 version of TNG remastered will be horizontally stretched like it was in Enterprise. They'll just crop more. Very glad to know it'll be in 4:3 on the Blu-Ray though.

Kino's December releases announced on Blu-Ray.com December 13th: Seven Chances (1926, Buster Keaton) Sherlock Holmes (1922, starring John Barrymore) December 27th: A Farewell to Arms (1932, Frank Borzage) Nothing Sacred (1937, William A. Wellman) Seven Chances has beautiful 35mm material available, as the previous DVD was easily the best-looking of all of the Keaton releases. The 1922 Sherlock Holmes apparently has a surviving camera negative. Edit: The Digital Bits reports A Farewell to Arms and Nothing Sacred are sourced from 35mm prints held by "David O. Selznick's Estate". UCLA restored the former from the 35mm camera negative for Warner Bros. years ago. Nothing Sacred was restored from the 3-strip negatives by Disney in the 1990s. I guess these are editions just taking advantage of the public domain status rather than licensing the restorations. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Oct 4, 2011 |
