Some years ago I used to dream of being able to put all my TV DVDs on a server, so that I could watch a playlist of shows rather than a block of a single show.
My dream would be to have Plex be able to grab a set of series and be able to switch between shows and also remember where you were so that the next time you launch the playlist it continues on the next episode.

Basically I want to make a SatAM block for my kids.

Grabbed the cheap Radio On and From Beyond UHD. The latter is a blind buy!

Yeah i prefer discs but there are a few instances where ripping would be nice, mainly in TV. Like I would rather watch these old cartoons as a group rather than all one show at once.



And getting up to switch discs between each show is no bueno

Or recreating that classic NBC Thursday night lineup, again, without switching discs



I do love having these on disc, it's a good backup (I don't lose all my movies and TV shows and music if I drop them).

Do you, like, stage photo shoots for your discs or something?

Yes and you should see the Only Fans account for these things. Lots and lots of hot discs.

How do you gently caress that up? Just use the logo on a solid-color background like every other home release since 1994.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
I love that the actors are all badly-shaded carnival ride monstrosities, and then you just have a bunch of screencapped dinosaurs ripped straight out of the movie with a filter applied.

That Hammond in the bottom right kills me every time.

Not to mention the existing UHD disc is just ok, nothing really game changing so unless this is a brand new transfer I see zero reason to consider buying it.

Slightly disappointing choice for their first Kurosawa 4k, only because I already own the regular blu and just don't watch it enough to justify spending the $$$ to upgrade. If they wanted to go with color Kurosawa I'd have been more excited about Kagemusha.

Hopefully more to come.

Haven’t watched Carrie yet but I expect it to bang. The other 3 are great. Prince of Darkness is super creepy IMO.

Candyman is pretty much a clone of Arrow's UK disc
The Carpenters are significantly better encodes than the UK discs and are huge upgrades over the Blu-rays. Same thing for They Live and The Fog, which also look fantastic.
Carrie is another 5/5 from the reviews I've seen.

In terms of Carpenters on 4K, it's already confirmed they're doing Assault on Precinct 13 eventually from Deaf Crocodile's 4K restoration. Also a good chance they get a crack at The Thing because Universal let Arrow do a 4K upgrade of their Waterworld set despite already handling a UHD themselves.

Any idea how it compares to the original? I remember not liking the movie much but it’s been years and I haven’t seen the longer cut.
