Big Mean Jerk posted:Organization is a fool’s errand after a certain point in your collecting journey In my most recent "reorganization" I fully embraced chaos and landed on a hodgepodge system of: 1. Criterion Shelf(organized by release date) 2. Horror/Kaiju/Animation/Musical/Western Shelf, i.e. the Good poo poo(organized alphabetically) 3. Director's Shelf, i.e. my favorite directors, I had the idea that this shelf would rotate but right now it's Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Spielberg and Michael Mann. 4. Franchises/Series Shelf, i.e Comic Book Movies, Harry Potter, Mission Impossible, etc. etc.(organized alphabetically) 5. Miscellaneous Shelf i.e. everything else(organized chronologically) Yes all of this made perfect sense on the day I did it. I have over 500 blu rays. Coincidentally recreational weed became legal about a month ago.

I'm all for mixing Blu's and DVDs. My player can play both, and I don't pick out movies based on video quality!

My Everything Else Shelf (as in the non-all-timers) is like... -Movie collections & box sets -Grindhouse, kung fu, and a few we just want to show off -Drama and action -Musicals, comedy And then you have the back of that shelf which is currently all horror. All my TV shows are stored under my TV in the entertainment center, and one of the bookshelves houses a few wrestling DVDs. I say organize whatever way works for you and enjoy your home.

I remember this was announced last year and I pre-ordered but it was delayed indefinitely. Nice to know it's still coming (hopefully).

I organize my DVDs and Blu-rays all together alphabetically in the same credenza, with four exceptions: -one shelf of unwatched in the side-drawer of said credenza -a bookshelf with MST3K and RiffTrax DVDs on the first two shelves (with spillover on the same level as...) -a shelf for my Ring of Honor DVDs (plus a Paul London & Brian Kendrick shoot interview and a Region 4 DVD I got from a Secret Santa in Australia) -a corner of my CD tower that houses my anime

I have the Criterion so I probably should skip that 4K FWWM but I really love Twin Peaks so I might still buy it...

I probably won't upgrade my Fire Walk With Me either, the existing blu ray is very good and I tend to watch it maybe once every 5 years or so when I rewatch Twin Peaks.

I absolutely love Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me is one of my favorite movies so my heart covers it but my brain knows that the Criterion version I just bought is amazing. For all we know they'll even do an upgrade down the line.

FancyMike posted:I’m pretty sure that bluray was from the same master as their old dvd, and you quoted it right there that it was supervised by Mark Lee Ping-bing. I have no idea who shot what, or how much, but he’s one of the three credited cinematographers for the movie. Criterion consulted Lee Ping Bin for the ITMFL Bluray because he shot the majority of the movie. 🤫

SeductiveReasoning posted:Is that actual stock or just stock for the sets with the poster? I think this entire set is Shout Factory Store exclusive and only the first 600 come with the poster. If you order now, no poster unless Shout feels generous (and lolol at that). I waited until yesterday to order, as it's a) $170, b) I wanted to see how long it would take to sell out. The set is down to 61 copies which means this will definitely sell out before its 9/26 release date.

Also, I'm fairly confident that inventory countdown is just for the poster bundle, and not the 2500 copies total. Could be wrong, though.

My movies and books are not organized at all, except sometimes by size if a given shelf is kind of small or something. I try to keep series next to each other but not with any real consistency.

I have a media tower, which is nice. But now I have several stacks forming because I’ve been too lazy to organize my movies. My organizational scheme is just movies that relate to each other because of director/series/genre, and the all important “Do they fit?”

Was looking for the shortest runtime of my unwatched disks so I could knock something out before starting on afternoon chores. My Arrow release of Day of the Jackal showed a 104 minute runtime, which was the winner. Turns out it's actually 140 minutes lol, making it the longest of all my options outside of Fanny and Alexander! Thought that was kinda funny.

Not surprising, their recent stuff has a tendency to be delayed by a week or two. That's what happened with my To Live and Die in L.A. order.

I really don't like the way they plaster RESTORED IN 4K everywhere. It's not hard for people like us to know what it actually means, but they're definitely going to trick the average person into thinking they're 4K discs.

It's wild that they couldn't even include an essay. I'm going to have to guess the author raised some kind of issue after the fact considering he's a connecting factor. Very strange stuff.

Starting to regret this Wong Kar-wai path I've taken as it's currently about $80-$100 for the good OOP disc for Chungking Express and $45 for the Korean release of As Tears Go By. Same thing happens to me with metal releases. I want the album to sound the same as it did when I originally heard it in 1990. The reissue will sometimes be missing tracks for reasons or the sound is brickwalled and that means sometimes spending impossible amounts of money to get the old CD pressing since I only owned it on cassette back then. I hate my hobbies.

I hate my hobbies. You should look up the comparison videos between the old Chungking criterion and the restored version, it's not that bad, it's probably the least egregious revision That said I think going forward if they release more UHDs from the boxset I'm going to just find an iso of the OOP version, burn that, and chuck the restored BD so I have both versions in one case. If my choices are a bootleg or scalpers, I'm not paying the jerk tax.
