Target has an exclusive 20+ minutes of BtS bonus material, but the trade-off there is that it's $5 more than the standard edition and the packaging's kinda crappy. Also, the extra stuff isn't even on the disc, you have to stream it through Disney Movies Anywhere.

Is Amazon not selling it or something? Searching for it just brings up the VOD version and a set of Episodes I-VI.

I was randomly looking up when the new Mamoru Hosoda movie was coming to blu-ray and found that they're finally rereleasing The Girl Who Leapt Through Time in June. I often regretted not picking this up when it was actually available for not lovely prices, so I'm really glad to see this.

Parallax posted:I understand why there's a concentrated effort to switch a lot of these shows to widescreen, but I wish more shows would include both. There's a certain look to 4:3 that it feels like is getting erased from history I know it won't happen but I wish they'd keep The Shield in 4:3 for the remaster. That show really feels like the sorta bridge between 90s shows like Homicide etc. and modern shows like Breaking Bad, and the aspect ratio is an important part of that.

Speaking of Force Awakens, is there any cool steel book or exclusive art versions this time around?Hibernator posted:I know it won't happen but I wish they'd keep The Shield in 4:3 for the remaster. That show really feels like the sorta bridge between 90s shows like Homicide etc. and modern shows like Breaking Bad, and the aspect ratio is an important part of that. I'm going off my vague memory here, but The Shield was always a 4x3 show in the states but the UK airing and DVD sets were the 16x9 versions. We had non-HD widescreen OTA broadcasts from the late 90s and I guess they jumped at the chance to air/sell it in widescreen.

Any other release is the lovely DNR stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Predator-Blu-ray-Arnold-Schwarzenegger/dp/B0012GVKW8 Your best bet is either Ebay or the link.

In "It's about goddamn time" news, the Blu-ray for The Iron Giant has finally been announced. Coming September 6th in both regular and "ultimate collector's edition" versions, the disc includes both the original theatrical cut and the newer "signature" cut. The UCE is already up for preorder.

Guess I'll either get the normal one or try for a Best Buy steel book (which will probably sell out minutes after they open.)

At this point, should I just go get the two releases of Kill Bill, and give up on Whole Bloody Affair?CelticPredator posted:You want this one. I have it too. Any other release is the lovely DNR stuff. This is one of the first Blu-Rays I bought in 2009. I love the grainy feel, even if others say it's a low-quality print or whatnot.

Isn't it the case that 20th Century Fox has to get some cut of the dosh if the non-special edition Star Wars gets re-released? The copyright is different between the two. I wouldn't put it past Fox to be complete dicks about it.

The Tarantino box set is the Amazon.ca deal of the day at $25.99. If I didn't already own most of these I'd be all over this.

Red posted:At this point, should I just go get the two releases of Kill Bill, and give up on Whole Bloody Affair? Honestly if you look around or wait long enough you can get both Kill Bill blu-rays for less than $10 total, so it's not a lot of money as far as the possibility of eventually double-dipping goes. They are good transfers also, so there's not a lot to recommend waiting.

Star Wars '77 will definitely get an uncut release. The Library of Congress 4K transfer was used for a clip in the National Film Registry doc Those Amazing Shadows. Specifically the Death Star explosion. Great quality, too.

Sony is asking people to pay $30 a movie to stream 4k content. So.. hold on to your Blu Ray players.

I can't decide if it would be brilliant or result in riots, but imagine if Sony and the other manufacturers got together with Disney and Fox to put out the original, unaltered trilogy -- on 4K only.

So, anything with Episode IV will still require 20th Century Fox's cooperation.

There have been new releases of the movies (including individual steelbooks) since Disney bought Lucasfilm so they and Fox presumably have some arrangement already. I figure it's more "who pays".

The good thing at least is its not just outspoken internet nerds who care about it. One of my friends watched the movies with her son recently, pretty sure she's never actually sat through them properly before and she was asking about all the added stuff and said she'd rather see the original one. No prompting or anything, it just stands out that badly.

I figure it's more "who pays". It's a consistent cash flow for Fox right now. They know if there's an unedited release it's going to be a big cash cow so they can demand more for ANH.

And there's several groups working on cleaning up and restoring better scans of the films, so if Disney doesn't hurry they might find that all the die-hard fans already have the original original trilogy in hd.
