Plus it’s helped that the box set sale part isn’t until Saturday (rest of the site is Friday/22 minutes from now) so the rush for the folk horror set for late buyers won’t be immediate

Severin not already being on Shopify or WooCommerce and instead just constantly trying to keep their garbage site band-aided together through every sale says so much about the company. If you’re an e-tailer, it’s never worth trying to use a custom site without any dedicated support. Never.

Shiroc posted:Hello physical media thread, if I want the best 4k discs of Lord of the Rings with both versions, is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Picture-Extended-Theatrical/dp/B08KQBYM1Y/ref=sr_1_3?crid=IR3YQWZD7UGK The best overall LOTR set would be that, plus the remastered Blu-ray set for the supplements (and the same remasters in HD): https://www.amazon.com/Picture-Tril...0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Half the price of the Middle Earth deluxe set, plus you get both cuts in 4K and HD with Atmos on either format, as well as all the supplements. Of course, if you already have the original extended Blu set, only the remasters and Atmos are upgraded.

Make sure to consider if you want the 4k set, as there's a number of issues. Personally I'll stick with my Blu-rays, but judge for yourself. This is an excellent and reasoned breakdown of the set, with screencaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Z58uiwcME

DNR is always a no sale stop airbrushing movies also: stop changing the grading after the fact too, and leave the original aspect ratio alone (this one is pretty much aimed at storaro) the fact that we need to do research on anything that isn't shot on black and white film stock to see if they hosed around or not is the biggest drawback to collecting imo zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Jun 10, 2022 |

MacheteZombie posted:Sleazy horror on your bluray shelf is the best Well there's "sleazy" (I have plenty of that on my shelf already) but then there's "movie about a guy who flamethrowers naked women in his creepy torture dungeon". CPL593H posted:I don't think it's a very good movie if we're being honest. I was just saying what to expect from it and if someone likes Maniac or similar films they'd like Don't Go Into The House. I mean I like both versions of Maniac, but I wouldn't have either one on my shelf either.

The Lord of the Rings UHDs fall into that category where they have both positives and negatives, and you do have to weigh those out especially if you already own the blu rays and you'd be double-dipping. I think due to the benefits of HDR, and the corrections they made to the color grading on Fellowship, the UHDs are the way to go overall. But yea we've discussed this before how UHD as a format can be tougher to evaluate because most films are gonna get a pretty big boost from HDR, so that's a given. So you'll get some releases that have flaws but at the same time it's still gonna be the best the film has looked due to that HDR. And of course HDR isn't infallible either, it can be overcranked to the detriment of the film. I do think that the lessons learned from mistakes made early in the blu ray era have benefited UHDs though, and the overall percentage of quality UHD releases is a lot higher than it was for blu ray.

That’s why I liked that the release they put out for UHD was JUST the movies and both versions of them. Made it a no brainer to complement my Blu-ray’s. Raiders Steelbook tomorrow, that’ll be fun to throw on and show my gal this weekend.

It's not a deal breaker for me but the 4K release of Heat will not include Atmos edit; a few pages ago someone asked what issues PTA has with 4K and I cannot speak for him but since 4K has become just-about-ubiquitous he has only released two films; Phantom Thread (which got a 4K release) and Licorice Pizza. Apparently PTA said on a podcast somewhere that LP will not be getting a 4K release. Of course, this is just me wildly speculating and I cannot speak for PTA but I suspect that that has something to do with wanting LP to look like a 70s movie. I know that movie images had great quality in the 70s but, you know what I'm talking about. Happy Hippo fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jun 10, 2022 |

Happy Hippo posted:It's not a deal breaker for me but the 4K release of Heat will not include Atmos Pretty sure we had a poster say something a while back about working on a PTA project in some capacity and that he'd said something about not being a fan of the 4k format. I may be misremembering that though. My own un-educated guess is just that releasing his previous films on UHD would be something he would want to have direct control over and be hands-on with, but he's been consistently working on actually making movies so he hasn't had time or the desire to prioritize that over directing new stuff.

Not the person in question, but I suspect PTA's whole thing about 4K is that he doesn't want it for home video formats as he believes that films should be viewed in the theater, and to give that amount of quality to a home viewing situation would be 1. cheapening the experience of something that should be viewed in a theater, and 2. ceding some amount of power and control to the viewer, which some filmmakers (and studios, especially) don't like.

Speaking of Mr Anderson and his latest film, I just got my copy in from the UK, which has a nice slipbox (not slipcover) and art cards. I also added another two titles to my Gasper Noé collection I got the poster for Licorice Pizza from the US DVD I picked up last month. "Why DVD?" I figured there was an outside chance that the poster would be bigger, since the DVD package is bigger. It was not   At least the artwork is bigger/less cropped. It didn't even come with a digital copy, sad. Here are exploded product shots from the manufacturers.

It doesn't even have a Blu-ray.com listing yet, but the French-based Re:Voir is releasing a near-complete box set of Jonas Mekas' "Diaries, Notes, and Sketches" films. https://re-voir.com/shop/en/jonas-m...ekas&results=90  Eight discs, book on the films, set of postcards, and a 16mm film strip! Only cost $114 shipped to the US for me. Even neater is that it was a joint effort with the Lithuanian Film Centre. Happy Hippo posted:It's not a deal breaker for me but the 4K release of Heat will not include Atmos Collateral doesn't have Atmos either, so he might just not be fond of remixes or even the format. I'm surprised he's not into UHD since Phantom Thread is one of the best-looking releases on the format. And Sony has included Punch-Drunk Love on their UHD polls, so there's definitely a 4K master out there.

I went crazy and got the Folk Horror box, the Nun box, and the Lenzi/Baker box. I was going to just get the one box, but the other two are the lowest prices I've seen, so gently caress it.
