I have Fast 9 on 4K but I have the 1-8 set too, so 9 is separate.

Same, but I kinda regret buying that F&F set because it has those cardboard sleeves that are terrible for taking the discs in and out without damaging them, and then also I hated F9 so I feel like I don't even need to continue buying the series going forward. So I think what I should've done was just buy the two or three films in the series that I like and left it at that. Oh well.

The Fast and the Furious and 2Fadt 2Furious should be DVDs, Tokyo Drift should be an HDDVD, 4-8 should be BluRays, and F9 should be a 4k. Give me that box set.

Are the rightsholders to the Child's Play 1-3 movies different from those to the ______ of Chucky movies? I'm really happy with Scream Factory's releases of the first three last year and would be absolutely thrilled if the latter three got the same treatment.

Yeah, it’s a little goofy. I believe the first one is through MGM and the rest is Universal. I really wouldn’t be surprised to see the rest of the series coming to UHD this year.

Great news for everyone who is sick of amazon again, Best Buy has dropped the shipping charge and minimum order for My Best Buy members (the free membership). My local store closed and the next closest one has basically nuked their physical media section so I'm back in steelbook town, babyyyyyy.

They both were on VHS, yes, my days working at the video store have that poo poo burned in my brainstem. That's a bridge too far though. Any reasonable person back then would have bought the DVD, ergo it's DVD!

Do you mean Supercop or Dragons Forever? They were both delayed from what the original release dates were supposed to be. Dragons Forever is now Jan. 10 and Supercop is in March.

And yeah, that happens naturally but to have it pre-determined to not fit in? Ruins my OCD!

They did box sets for the Resident Evil movies starting with the third one and then again after every one after that.

They've got a 4k box set for the whole series now. Only 60 bucks for all 6 movies. Does anybody have that, are there any problems with it? It's very tempting.

IIRC Sony stuck ads in a box over the credits for upcoming 4K releases.

I havent seen it myself, but from what I read online was the credits start and then it does that broadcast tv thing where it slides the credits over to one side then the other side starts playing an advert for releases.

I cannot emphasize enough how much Resident Evil doesn't matter to me. I almost made a joke post earlier, when asking if there was a problem with them, that they were Resident Evil movies. But this is no joke

So I'm That Guy. I respect credits. I stay in the theatre until the studio card, upsetting ushers. These are the people who made the film and if you enjoyed a film, or show, you should necessarily honour the folk who created it. For the past 3 decades, as the trend began in the early-mid-90s, I've suffered watching credits on TV get relentlessly shunned. Packed on the side of the screen, squished at the bottom, sped up, made illegible, all to facilitate running promos in 2/3 or 3/4 of the screen. If I can't get a movie without credits being hosed with on disc, when I paid for it, then I'll stick with Blu-ray.

Are other Sony 4ks like this?

Jan 10 was probably the original release date for Supercop but the bluray.com release calendar moved it to March a while back.

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/releasedates.php?year=2023&month=3&4k=1

I guess Amazon never updated it. They were never supposed to be released on the same day, Dragons Forever was supposed to be like November but then it got pushed back to January 10 and the same thing happened to Supercop.

Maybe not what you're asking, but there are distinct releases, with Richard Attenborough narrating the British releases, and Sigourney Weaver and Oprah narrating the American ones. I made a point of getting the Richard Attenborough version of Planet Earth.

I think you also have to watch out since some of them have 25 fps -> 24 fps slowdown applied in the US. I know the 4k of Planet Earth 2 has that.

It's ridiculous that our digital video standards didn't actually fix this problem. At this point, are there still TVs that can't handle 25 fps being made?

I'm not that guy because I'm never going to a theater again, but at home I'll watch the credits unless it's one of those massive movies where the credits are 20 minutes long. My favorite credits are the caterers and craft service.

Man I should have researched this before buying that one. At least it was cheap during prime sales, but wth.

I know it's a BBC production for PAL land, but can we just standardize 23.98 in the YOOL 2023

I'm actually curious since I'm NTSC, are there pal tvs that don't support 23.98/24hz at this point? I'm assuming it's easier globally to find a display that can do 24, 48 etc then one that only has 25/50..Projection standard vs broadcast standard

JERRY! HELLO!

Speaking of pre-orders, if anyone else was jazzed by the Rocky I-IV steelbooks that Best Buy is putting out, those are up now. Though if you're impatient, you may just want to order the box set. BB for some reason is staggering the steelbook releases, so Rocky is out 2/28 along with the box set. Then the rest one a week until IV on March 21st.

Which is so dumb. Has there ever been anything like that before? We're gonna punish you and make you wait because you want them all individually?
