Rageaholic Monkey posted:Haha well I was gonna see the new Robocop in theaters anyway. Since I don't have the coupon, I'll just use the AMC gift card I have instead. And I'll the use that $7.50 on Amazon to buy Only God Forgives on Blu-Ray because I've been meaning to do that for a while anyway. I figured I'd try to help you out, since I got the Robocop BD as a gift - but after emailing Amazon, they said that the movie was bought before the promotion was started, so I wouldn't be due a coupon code.  Sorry, RM.

frumpsnake posted:I have a fairly old Panasonic BD60 I modded many moons ago, still works like a champ and it wasn't too difficult for an amateur like me. The BD60 doesn't even need a mod chip, it can be flashed with custom firmware which allows you to switch DVD/BD regions with a remote code. Also unlocks x264 playback and a few other things.

Upcoming Flicker Alley releases... Charlie Chaplin Mutual Comedies (1916-1917) Dual Format 5-disc Steelbook (!) Palace of Silents (2010, Iain Kennedy) - Documentary on the LA Silent Movie Theatre (Dual Format) Mack Sennett Keystone Comedies, Volume 1 (Dual Format) 3-D Rarities (collection of vintage 3-D short films) Seven Wonders of the World (1956) - in Cinerama (Dual Format) Search for Paradise (1957) - in Cinerama (Dual Format) Masterworks of American Avant-Garde Film (1920-1970) The Mutual Comedies will be from the new 2K restorations with new music scores. The Keystone comedies are also new HD restorations. The 3-D Rarities collection will at least include a 3-D Beany & Cecil short, among others all in proper Blu-Ray 3D instead of anaglyph. The Cinerama films will be in Smilebox from new digital restorations. This is the first I've heard of the avant-garde set, but I'd expect it to be similar to the Kino collections and the Anthology Film Archive set "Unseen Cinema".

Also unlocks x264 playback and a few other things. You don't even need a custom firmware for the BD60. Just insert the Bluray disc, and wait for the disc to load. When the player says something about wrong region, press stop. The player will return to its main screen (empty blue screen). Press '1' and 'ok'. The player will start at chapter 1 of the movie. If it says something about chapter not found, press '1' and 'ok' again, and it should work.

If that was a feature, sure. I don't own a copy but without anything like this, I'm just going to go get the $9.99 version I see at Best Buy.

Well, if I miss the pre-sale on TT's site, I'm okay paying a slight markup. Much better than paying a huge markup for something like the Criterion of Man Who Fell to Earth now.

Anecdotal, but keep an eye out on SA Mart if you're looking for OOP criterions/other movies like that. I got a copy of MWFTE for $50 two years ago because someone randomly decided to sell it there.

You're in for a real treat. Not only does it look mindblowing but it's one of those rare movies that flies by despite the run time.

mr. mephistopheles posted:Anyone have the boxset of it? Is the Scorsese interview good? I don't know if it's the same interview, but when I went to see the restoration in theaters around when the disc was released, they played it before the movie (that I was there to see for the first time). Scorsese goes ahead and talks about all the best parts and the interview cuts to clips of just those shots, which kind of took away from the impact of seeing those very shots in the movie immediately following it. I guess I'd say the interview was strange when presented like that.

The bluray/DVD of Short Term 12, that just released on Tuesday, is on amazon.ca for $12.99 right now - if only The Spectacular Now was at the same price to buy them together!

Can anyone elaborate on the Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day anime series? There's a new movie based off the series that's now released theatrically in Canada & US, and it caught my eye being that it's not something you see every day shown on the big screen. From what I've read, it's not smart to see the movie before watching the TV series first. Is this worth picking up?

DVDTalk has screencaps: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/62557/jungle-book-the/ While they're not full resolution, it's clear we're not dealing with another Sword in the Stone or Mickey's Christmas Carol. Even framed at 1.75:1, which is exactly how it was released in 1967.

Kino is having a sale on all their Russian stuff. It has gone from insanely priced to slightly less insanely priced. I might just drop 10 bucks for Dersu Uzala because who knows when we'll get a bluray of it.
