CPL593H posted:And why not put it on blu-ray after everyone already bought the DVD set? Which, when you think about it, IS true. Look at how many posts there are STILL on hd forums asking "When are they gonna release the first 5 seasons of Smallville on blu?".

I assume Annie Hall's audio being out of synch for some people is a well-known issue and I just never bothered to learn of it. I guess it might be a PS3 issue which would be unfortunate. At least it's only a few segments of the movie.

Space_Butler posted:It sucks, but this has happened before too with Fox and Archer. I can't remember where but there was a Q&A of some kind on one of the high def sites with a rep for the studio who basically said "well we saw blu-ray growing so we planned on putting Season 2 out, but we figured fans would complain about their collection being split up by format so we made season 1 available for the die hards who need everything perfect". The difference here is that Adventure Time and Archer were originally produced and broadcast in HD.

Space_Butler posted:My point wasn't about the technical aspect, it was about anticipating sales/fan demand. On top of that, season 5 of Smallville WAS released on HD-DVD, but never blu-ray, so that comparison doesn't hold water anyway. Yeah, but gently caress internet spergs anyway.

ApexAftermath posted:This is the only part I have to roll my eyes at. Put an extra disc in the S4 set? Going from a six-disc collection to a seven-disc collection isn't that easy; there's extra manufacturing costs and packaging issues - the seven-disc TOS sets are notorious for having cracked and broken cases. Plus, every other season set will be a standard Blu-ray case width, while moving to a seven-disc set would require going to one of the double-width cases. The full press release for TNG S3 and TNG: The Best of Both Worlds was put out this morning: http://tng.trekcore.com/bluray/02092013_s3bobwpressreleases.html

Another lesser known Blu-Ray is The Iron Petticoat from TCM Vault And speaking of Warner Archive, they are running a buy 2 get 1 free with free shipping, dvd only, on their site. I've been trying to cut back my spending but I still grabbed three.

Shame that Hudsucker Proxy isn't viable enough to warrant a full release, though. You'd figure the Coens would have a loyal enough audience.

The most surprising news...quote:Cult label Redemption Films has revealed that it is planning to bring to Blu-ray fourteen films directed by Jess Franco. Amongst the films that will get the HD treatment are A Virgin Among the Living Dead a.k.a Christine, Princess of Eroticism (1973), The Demons (1973), The Awful Dr. Orloff (1962), The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein (1972), Nightmares Come at Night (1970), and the never before released Les Chatouilleuses a.k.a Crazy Nuns (1975).

The news about the Franco movies coming to high def thrills me to no end. Redemption Films has drastically improved since the old days of single-layer non-anamorphic fuzzy-looking DVDs with the super cheesy Eileen Daly lesbian vampire intros. I was just watching The Comeback, which looked gorgeous, a million times better than the Media Blasters DVD. Haven't been disappointed with any of their releases so far. Bring on the Franco, I'll proudly buy every title day one.

So the Gold Box deal today is the Die Hard Collection: http://www.amazon.com/Die-Hard-Anni...RM8YB93G2GEECTG I know that Live Free is not the Unrated one, but I'm curious on what anyone has heard about the quality? (both picture and the quality of the set in regards to special features)

I know WA tries to remaster most if the stuff they put out nowadays. In terms of Instant, I watched Dames and a bit of Blonde Crazy and they look great. They even have a few HD masters of movies that haven't gotten a blu ray release, which look excellent.
