Vinegar Syndrome Black Friday sale is up. Beastmaster, Action USA, and Fade to Black are all way too loving expensive, so I'll probably pass on this one.

That's how much their new releases always are, they won't get discounted until next year's "Halfway" sale

And Severin's site isn't up yet... at least it isn't crashing I guess!

e: it went up like 2 minutes after I posted

I was five minutes late and missed out on Rad, but all I needed was my Tammy 4K and I'm happy as a clam.

I was on right when it went live, had Rad in my cart, but it was gone when I went to checkout less than 2 minutes later. I have a problem not spending money so I picked up a handful blind, including Beastmaster.

I already have a Martial Law set from Germany with all three movies that looks fine... don't know if I want to buy another set. Otherwise, I picked up Beastmaster, Fade to Black, the second set of Forgotten Gialli, Silent Madness and Don't Panic. Thinking about getting Dolly Dearest and Action USA.

Well that blows. It's not surprising that it's an anime doing it either. They've always done things to prevent reverse importing since they're usually cheaper in the US than Japan.

I listen to a lot of dumb, ridiculous offensive poo poo, but The Mentors were legit beyond the pale. GG Allin had more artistic credibility. Might check out the El Duce doc anyway.

EDIT: scratch that, getting the lyrics to "Golden Showers" getting read aloud during the PMRC hearings in the senate is worth something. That was pretty hilarious.

Sounds like LOTR 4K is an easy upgrade. They fixed the color grading in Fellowship, fresh 4K negative scans w digital effects upscale from 2K. I’ll still wait for it to drop, but I’ll be doing so eagerly!

I like the color grading in Fellowship

Although the first time I watched it was one of my earlier BD experiences (late adopter) and I thought I was losing my mind. Like, “drat, HD makes those colors pop. How have I never noticed this?” crazy

Even when you pay for their option with tracking, you don't get a tracking number in the US. No idea if they still have that option but ordered a bunch of 3d blu rays from them in the past and tried that once. After I didn't get a tracking number, I contacted customer service and they told me that. My order was from the US Zavvi site and there was no indication the tracking number was for UK shipments only. Everything I ordered from them came in good condition and around the time window, but I hated the untracked orders every time.

Amazon has Arrow's US release of 'Silent Running' for $20, what are the chances the UK release goes on sale for cheaper than that?

To piggy back off of this, they've got Tremors for $42; same question, should I wait for a UK sale or something?

Ditto for me, but I'm willing to wait if I can find a better deal. I just got a region-free UHD player so I'm not concerned about getting the UK version.

If you want the fancy edition, buy ASAP. If you only care about the UHD, wait for a sale. It’ll be region free so import it direct from Arrow when they have another sale, probably around the late spring/early summer. It should be significantly cheaper.

I kind of just want the UHD so I can swap it into my Tremors movie box set. The other stuff is neat, but having multiple copies of the same movie on my shelf without being able to merge them together sets off my OCD.

I’ve heard Akira 4K is arguably worse than the Blu-Ray so I would wait for reviews on that one (it’s already out in Japan I think).

Space Adventure Cobra is a stunner in 4K. There’s a sequence in a dance club that is a full on psychedelic trip.

The Akira release sounds disappointing. But I love Space Adventure Cobra so I'll definitely have to pick up the 4k release.

I heard they hosed the transfer because GitS has some Brian Eno song at the end credits instead of the original music?

4k anime is going to be sick, though. Really looking forward to Akira huh.. maybe not :negative:

What's so bad about the 4k?

This is all from various hyperbolic and nit-picky AV forums so take it with a grain of salt, but the DNR and color grading don’t seem very good. GitS is a release some of the same people complain about but I’ve seen sterling reviews of it too, so who knows.

One thing I’ve gathered from reading about both is that I don’t think the original films are in very good physical condition so there may be limitations on how good they will ever look.

I bought a few VinSyn blus, and I wasn't going to get anything from Severin this year but then they sent me an email saying they're having a DVD clearance. So I bought like 7 super cheap DVDs and... Birdemic on blu ray. I think my mind's been eaten by spruce bark beetles.

I have three separate locations in my house to store DVDs and Blu-rays, and I’m going to need to find some more shelves because the reorganization I just did doesn’t include the Battlestar Galactica set I’m almost through.

I already have two locations, and am realizing that I'll need a third. I might just box up a bunch of DVDs into the garage, because when am I going towatch American Pie (my first DVD) again?
