Yea I don't have any specific info to cite but everything I remember hearing about those Shout Factory UHDs is that they're pretty much the same as the existing ones, at least in terms of the actual movie. Maybe the person you heard on the stream was talking about packaging and special features?

Thanks! I've bought these movies so many times since the VHS days, and didn't want to buy them yet again.

Got my VinSyn and Severin orders in on the same day! :woop:

I think I'll do the sensible thing from now on though and keep all of them sealed until I actually decide to watch each of them. I don't see myself ever not watching them, but there are a few unwatched blus and DVDs on my shelf right now that I kinda wished I'd kept sealed. I might like them, but every once and a while I look at them and wonder why I bought them.

As much as I liked that film, this has no appeal to me for some reason. I looked up the changes, and the new title cards and such sound cool, but I'd rather have a 4k with the theatrical and this as a second disc or something.

Same goes for memento

Yeah, I used to open them all and inspect them before watching them. Then my pile got too big, and I couldn't figure out what I had and had not watched, and in a few cases some unwatched discs made it to the shelf. Now I keep them sealed, unless for whatever reason at the last minute I decide I'd rather watch Critters 2 again instead.

Not really, unless you're talking about 2012, which was like seven years after The Core.

Maybe you're thinking of Deep Impact/Armageddon, which did come out the same year(1998).

I'm so glad my local Australian government funded art gallery has a penchant for showing trash film and importing 35mm reels from AGFA and Severin and Arrow and Criterion for their retrospectives

They did the insane thing of showing Pink Flamingos for free at 3pm on a Saturday during school holidays one year. I loving love the programmer because they must be insane.

any idea if this'll be available for pre-order at any non-amazon retailers? not seeing it elsewhere unfortunately.

Officially? No.

Unofficially? Look up Ohteedee's restoration (D+77/D+80/D+83). Uses the newest 4K discs as a base and then replaces the Special Edition'd shots with footage from original 35mm theatrical prints.

yea, so i've heard. i just can't stand the special editions so i'm not even going to try the retails i know are out there.

i also just learned there's a disc in the 2006 release with the original, pre-special edition versions on there. but i guess solely to troll the true fans the studio didn't touch them up whatsoever.

pretty brazen.

it's also wild how there're like 4 different versions of the touched-up, non-special editions. the 4k__, the despecialized, the silver screen edition, and something else i can't remember the name of right now.

Sure there’s plenty of people who take it way too far, but you can be a rational and sane person who watches the films and would prefer not seeing late 90s CG and lovely jokes added when it was perfectly fine as it was.
