Rageaholic posted:My UHD steelbook of Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow: All You Need Is Kill shipped from Best Buy I’ll probably reshuffling to L’s, although mine hasn’t shipped. Which is weird because my Everything, Everywhere 4K is showing up tomorrow apparently. Mad Men series collection has the worst goddamn packaging. You HAVE to touch the discs.

I put in the new Arrow True Romance 4K just to check out the visuals for a minute and I accidentally watched the whole movie (it's never looked better)

Happy Hippo posted:I put in the new Arrow True Romance 4K just to check out the visuals for a minute and I accidentally watched the whole movie (it's never looked better) Lol I've done that so many times. Best time was when I first got the Bluray for The Sound of Music, intending to just check out the new restoration (I had previously watched it on VHS in Japan when the English teacher screened it for class). I was living at home at the time since I had just come back from living in Japan, and my mom walks in and is surprised I'm watching it. She tells me that she watched it on a school field trip when she was a little girl in Hong Kong and proceeds to sit down and join me. A little while later, my dad walks in and sees that we're watching it and kinda berates the movie as being old. He then proceeds to sit down and watch it. We ended up watching the entire movie as a family.

Yeah the aliens clearly took a lot of effort to realize on screen, they just made some fundamentally bad decisions.

My Ultra Q set has the four discs on two spindles. They’re so hard to remove that I feel like I’m going to snap the disc in half every time. I’m guessing Ultraman and UltraSeven are going to be the same.

I managed to get Ultraman and Return of Ultraman in the bigger plastic case releases, but Ultra Q and UltraSeven are an absolute bear to get the discs out.

The most exasperating thing about Mac and Me is how much it looks and sounds like a real movie of the time despite it being awe-inspiringly cynical and stupid. That outta nowhere McDonald’s musical number is a moment for the ages.

I meant to post about that last night after the discussion of upcoming Halloween UHDs. Never seen it but I was 9 when it came out so I was always “what’s that about” during the commercials. Saw a couple scenes. I hear it’s not the best, but also a lot better than most slashers.

I'm a few years older than you so I was old enough to see it when it came out and I definitely have a lot of nostalgia for it, I wouldn't claim to be able to judge it objectively.

Got the Blu-Ray of Eraserhead. That's one that I used to own years ago but ended up selling when I was getting rid of my Blu-Ray collection. I have a collection again, though, and already have Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me as far as Lynch movies go but not Eraserhead.

The Warner keep cases, the Simpsons heads, the Northern Exposure puffy jackets, etc. Warner and 20th century fox continued with weird packages even after 2010s.

I loved all those Evil Dead releases with the Necronomicon packaging. I mean, that poo poo's all got latex rot by now but back when they first came out they were awesome. I kind of regret selling my Evil Dead DVD, I had it kept nicely in storage and it was still in like new condition.

I firmly stand by having all physical releases of movies with cool jackets covered in the aforementioned cool jackets. Release Death Proof in an Icy Hot jacket, release Drive with a scorpion jacket, release Top Gun with a bomber jacket, release Death Game (or Kill Bill) in a yellow jumpsuit top/yellow jacket.

I will also never take them out of the bags I had to store them in to stop the flakes from getting everywhere. Good thing I also have Evil Dead on VHS and Blu-ray and Evil Dead 2 on VHS, Blu-ray, 4K and another DVD (had to talk myself out of a laserdisc a few months ago because I couldn't justify spending $60 on a format I can't even play) Also, unrelated, but my VS order has finally shipped!

Expect No Mercy was so drat great  Are TC 2000, Talons of The Eagle, and Expect No Mercy the only Billy Blanks/Jalal Mehri collabs? I’ve seen Tiger Claws, but with only Jalal showing up it just wasn’t the same.

Crash comes in a leg and you have to pull the disc out from the wound. Same mold they’ll use for the Videodrome edition.

Videodrome comes on a disc that goes inside a case that looks like a Betamax tape, that goes inside the gaping wound of a full size fake James Woods. It’s a real conversation piece when you have people over. Mostly why you would want to be reminded that James Woods exists.

walmart sent out all the preorders for Everything Everywhere All At Once today, 3 days early. I saw it recently so I'm going to hold off on a rewatch but I'm sure reviews will pop up soon. The alt cover is on the slipcase and the case itself though, no standard cover mix
