Sporadic posted:Some really cool news for horror fans. http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/hammer-teams-with-studiocanal-others-for-major-restoration-of-film-library/ [/quote] This made me really excited but at this point it looks like they are to be region locked. I'm really loving tired of this poo poo. Are there any recommended region-free blu-ray players out there at this point that don't cost an arm and a leg? I'd be willing to spend up to $250 for one. I love my PS3 as it's updated constantly and I've never had any problems but it would be nice to be able to just watch movies that I want to when I want.

This Kurbick set arrived last Friday; It really is a nice set, very well presented with a cool little book. Space 2001 was absolutely stunning to watch and is probably the one movie I will use to show people what Blu Ray can look like. The omission of Dr. Strangelove hurts a little bit but this set is really bloody nice.

I picked up Wings, Manhattan and The Apartment the other day (I work part time at a indie video store) and I can say that The Apartment and Manhattan look fantastic. Worth the upgrade from the DVDs. Wings also looks pretty drat good all things considered.

For those on the fence about Wings, http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Wings-Blu-ray/33615/#Screenshots caiman posted:Is this a major upgrade from the existing edition? Yes... the first DVD was non-anamorphic and poorly authored, the remaster was interlaced. MGM generally has an excellent track record for catalog titles, except for occasional hiccups like The Greatest Story Ever Told and Robocop.

There was a previous Robocop Blu-ray that apparently went out of print quickly because it had a lovely transfer. I just wanted to make sure those issues didn't carry over to this one because I plan on buying it.

Amazon copies the data straight from the DVD, Blu-Ray.com depends on user reports regarding region code and Gary has the equipment to tell whether a disc is region free or locked (so if he says it is, there is a 99.9% chance it is)

Sporadic posted:The preorder for Monty Python & The Holy Grail dropped down to $12.99 on Amazon. New details. quote:Also debuting on March 6 is the first Monty Python interactive iPad app. "The Holy Book of Days" is a rich companion to the film, letting fans explore each of the 28 days of the filming of the movie through outtakes, diaries, audio recordings, scripts, and scores of stills. New illustrations, animations, and the story of the filming in the Pythons' own words make each day of the Holy Grail come alive. The app offers a second screen experience too, letting users control and navigate the Blu-ray from the iPad. "The Holy Book of Days" will be available for $4.99 in the App Store. For a limited time, Sony is offering a $5 mail-in rebate when consumers purchase both the Blu-ray and iPad app.

They go region free whenever possible, but I think all of the new announcements are locked due to studio mandates. Criterion ran into the same problem and opts to lock all releases just to be fair. So far, MoC's only region free releases are Sunrise, Mad Detective, Tokyo Sonata, Une femme mariee, Soul Power (OOP), City Girl, The World, Le silence de la mer, and Punishment Park.

Any news or odds that The Apartment blu-ray will get ported to the US? I'm sure it's the same region but I think CA dollar is a little stronger than US dollar.A FUCKTON OF WEED posted:http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/hammer-teams-with-studiocanal-others-for-major-restoration-of-film-library/ Yeah, I'm wondering this too. Not Sherwoods, because I've heard they go bad and make whirring noises and try to talk to you in some click-click language after awhile. I don't think there is and affordable, good region free blu-ray player. I've heard you go make PS3 go region free for blu-rays, not games, and I don't remember much about it anyway but it might be  to talk about it.

Seriously jealous of the Criterion series, if you hadn't noticed. About a year ago I heard Friedkin was working on the Bluray for Sorcerer but I haven't heard anything since...

I got a blu-ray player for the pc in my living room that's connected to my TV, and set that to region A. But it (PowerDVD?) suddenly won't read any discs and I'm stuck with 10+ Criterions and other movies/shows I could only get on region A that I cant even watch. Anybody know of any reliable, free, Blu-ray playing software out there? Preferably free because I don't want to buy lots of different ones that don't work. Tried DAPlayer, that didn't work on any of the movies I tried.

Egbert Souse posted:Only Svensk Filmindustri, Sony, and iTV Studios seem to be the major licensors not demanding it. This doesn't seem right, as many European releases are in fact region free and from way more publishers (or studios or what have you) than the ones you mention.
