Some notes about the upcoming The Thing BD from Arrow:quote:
Colour me well excited. CPL593H posted:They actually re-released Jurassic Park into theaters because it took so long for the video release. Back in the 90s video releases took about a year. And think of us poor Danes who usually had to wait 4-6 months for a cinema premiere. Americans may remember Terminator 2 as a summer blockbuster, but we didn't get it until November! Those were hard times.

Yeah you know who's going to live or die within the first 5 minutes but it's still a pretty fun ride.

That sounds too good. Going to have to blow some money on it. Wish those screenshots weren't so tiny. Will salivate over the 3 BD comparisons when someone puts them together.

Is there a list of special features on the Arrow release? I'm curious how much overlap there is with the Shout version.

Daniel Griffith (Ballyhoo Motion Pictures) does incredible work. He's the guy that does all the documentaries on the MST3K DVDs.

I wish one of these fancy new restoration Blus would actually have a decent in-depth doc about the restoration process itself. The Jaws one was welcome but not very long or in depth.

feedmyleg posted:I wish one of these fancy new restoration Blus would actually have a decent in-depth doc about the restoration process itself. The Jaws one was welcome but not very long or in depth. Here's the Blus I've seen with restoration docs: Spartacus (Remastered) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (Criterion) All of Flicker Alley's Cinerama releases The Apu Trilogy The Godfather Trilogy The Red Shoes (Criterion) The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (Criterion) Macbeth (Olive Films Signature Edition) Napoleon (BFI) Lawrence of Arabia (Deluxe Gift set only) His Girl Friday/The Front Page (Criterion) I'd say the one on The Apu Trilogy is one of the best I've seen since it shows every part of restoration from inspecting the film elements to final grading/cleanup. The one for The Front Page on Criterion's His Girl Friday release is great, too, because it shows comparisons between the surviving prints. I think the reason why there's not as many docs has to do with rights holders being sensitive about the films. Toho doesn't allow them for their films because it apparently makes them look like they weren't caring for them. I'm surprised WB doesn't include them more often, but Criterion's upcoming The Philadelphia Story has a short doc since they were able to use the rediscovered camera negative.

I’m not sure they’ll get anything more out of Breakfast Club print wise, but the thought of 50 minutes more of one of my all time favorites means I just have to have it. I hope they do good artwork for it too. Did “I, Daniel Blake” get much distribution US wise? It’s a little bit by numbers, but has great performances. Worth a blind buy imo.

 Nothing exciting, but that cover is a classic. For tech specs, here’s what blu-ray.com says: -4K RESTORATION OF THE FILM, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray -Alternate 5.1 surround soundtrack, presented in DTS‑HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray

Criterion does really good work but it's not like they're the sole arbiters of the Proper Film Canon or anything. Who cares what makes it 'into the collection'? But also thank you to the Criterion fans who paid stupid money to buy my out of print blu-rays earlier this year.

The entire movie is that all the cliques don't matter but actually they do because the only way to fit in is to abandon everything that makes you you, and also none of the popular kids are actually going to be your friend even if you do change when there are other people around. The goth girls entire arc is that the popular jock will gently caress her, but only after the princess makes her over to look normal.

Got an email from Amazon saying my T2 UHD has a new release date of Dec 31, 2018. Im guessing it’s a placeholder but hoping the delay isn’t really too bad.

Xenomrph posted:The only ones of those I'm familiar with are Shout and Arrow, what do the others cater to? A lot of B level and below horror, but also a general variety of genres. Most of them also carry restored version of erotica flicks, which is super interesting to me, though I admit I haven't bought any. Debating getting SexWorld in the near future though. e: links might be helpful: http://www.blue-underground.com/ http://synapse-films.com/ https://severin-films.com/ https://vinegarsyndrome.com/ They each have some interesting gems for purchase, and unlike Arrow most will be US region so no need to buy a regionfree player. Vinegar Syndrome does a really cool pre-order package deal that I haven't seen anywhere else. Severin has recently started this program where certain films/directors will have pins released with their blurays if you enjoy extra stuff. I pre-ordered the Devil's Honey from them to get the slip cover featuring a guy playing his sax into a woman's vagina and it also came with a Lucio Fulci pin. The first in the series.

Severin's Devil's Honey release was delayed due to a manufacturing delay with the slip covers and when the person from Severin emailed me about it he said he was filling the orders on his own so it'd take an extra few days. Could have been an anomaly though.

The forums ate my effort post about Vinegar Syndrome, but I'll sum it up this time since I'm still at work. They focus on grindhouse type films that are virtually forgotten. You get some weird genres, off-brand horror, exploitation, etc. About half of their catalog is porn that was shot on film. Their main focus really is to restore and preserve films that normally would have been forgotten and left to, well turn to vinegar. To touch on the packages, they have monthly pre-orders which show up on the site. In May they had their "Half-Way to Black Friday" sale and offered a blind pre-order for the back half of this year, and I haven't had any complaints, and come Black Friday, if I have the cash on hand, I'm definitely going to blind pre-order all of 2018. This should go without saying, but their site is definitely NSFW right below the surface.

Flicker Alley is probably my favorite niche studio because they release stuff no one else really would, besides Kino. Except they are almost obsessive about quality. Top-notch encodes for the most part, 2K and 4K restorations, and gorgeous packaging (Criterion cases and always with booklets). I have the American Avant-Garde, 3-D Rarities, Early Women Filmmakers, and Mack Sennett sets, plus two Cinerama films. I've been meaning to get more of their regular releases like restorations of The Lost World, Behind the Door, Children of Divorce, Too Late for Tears, and Nanook of the North. They also have second volumes coming up of Mack Sennett comedies and 3-D rarities, plus what seems to be the most comprehensive set of Fatty Arbuckle films ever released. https://www.flickeralley.com
