Neo_Reloaded posted:It's not like they're going to make a new complete series set with unique content just 6 months after this complete series set, so the worst any double-dip would be is a slightly elongated package that fits the additional BD case in it. If that is a real fear for you, go ahead and wait. Life is pain.

I've watched season 1 in HD and didn't notice any bad framing in 16:9. Series looks great, definitely going to get this set.

X-Files always aimed for a cinematic look and with the exception of the first episode I haven't come across any odd framing. It looks good.

Jeez those features have to be old as poo poo if Kim Manners is doing commentaries. Sadly no Morgan/Wong stuff since they did some of the best episodes.

It's region 2. I stumbled upon it today while shopping and got it immediately because I was under the impression there was no blu ray. Or maybe there wasn't one for region 2? Anyway, turns out this one was released just Thursday. Audio commentary with writer-producer-director John Boorman Brand new interviews with Boorman, actor Sara Kestelman, production designer Anthony Pratt, special effects creator Gerry Johnston, camera operator Peter MacDonald, assistant director Simon Relph, hair stylist Colin Jamison, production manager Seamus Byrne, and assistant editor Alan Jones No interview with Sir Connery  Theatrical trailer Radio spots

The new Spartacus release is a revelation. I'd put it on par with the Lawrence Of Arabia remaster. Just stunning in motion. It really makes me hope that Warner gets off their rear end and does 4K remasters for the rest of Kubrick's filmography.

Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon have 4K masters on the shelf. Only ACO hasn't been used for Blu-Ray yet. Sony did Dr. Strangelove at 4K, as did Criterion with The Killing. It would be really neat if Warner could get the Kubrick estate to approve including the deleted premiere cut scenes for 2001 since they were located a few years ago. The Museum of Modern Art also has the workprint reel with the original pie fight ending to Dr. Strangelove.

Stanley Kubrick was pretty notoriously strict about no one getting to see what he cut (go so far as to have footage destroyed after it was edited out of film), so I wouldn't hold my breath. Seeing the Strangelove pie fight would be glorious though.

Didn't they find the cut ending of The Shining in a salt mine too, or was that 2001? Why are they always finding old film canisters in salt mines, anyway?

It seems to be going for roughly double on the secondary market. Scream Factory had the rights pulled out from under them all of a sudden and they had to discontinue it immediately. Though this was only for the titles to be sold as a set. I asked them if they would be reissuing any of them individually and they basically said yes but not any time soon. They also didn't say which titles. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Oct 11, 2015 |

So I guess that means there's no chance of getting a third volume of that Vincent Price stuff, huh? It's weird that the original Fly wasn't in either of them.

I think Fox holds on to that one pretty tight, both it and the remake are directly released by them and not licensed out. (I guess they make more of the money that way? I dunno.)

If anyone is on the fence about this, the picture quality on the 4K remaster is light years better than the hideous 2009 Blu-ray.

Seems to be in-store only, but crazy price at Best Buy for Back To The Future: The Complete Adventures (includes the 3 films + the complete animated series) - $50, with the ability to do in-store pickup. Compare that $87 at Amazon (and even people who preordered and locked in at the lowest price only got down to $80).
