I went with the used OOP Artificial Eye disc they had on sale at Orbit DVD. I know the aspect ratio is slightly cropped, but it's the easiest on my pocket book right now. I'll ask for the 4Ks as a holiday gift so I can be a completist.

Also, 30% off all used media at Orbit DVD until 11pm Eastern today. Sick deals can be had

I just found my Sony Pictures Classics 2046 DVD that I excitedly pre-ordered a million years ago, then thought I lost in a move. Sadly even this one is listing at 30ish on ebay. Revisionism is wack.

I like the part where arrows like let us not gently caress this up like we have in the past. I was under the impression blackhat was a cheese fest, was I wrong on this one?

Blackhat rules and me and the two other dudes in the theater I saw it with that day all agree. Top 5 Mann.

Well we're not talking about the most prolific director here, Mann has only directed 12 films. For me the obvious top-3 are Thief, Manhunter and Heat, and then after that you can get into debates about what 4 and 5 should be(for me it's Collateral and The Keep).

Yea I would assume The Insider would be on most lists, I'm an outlier when it comes to how much I like The Keep. Which sucks because apparently Mann hates it, so we'll probably never see a proper blu ray release.

OrbitDVD has a UHD of Cutthroat Island coming out next month. The action scenes and sets are lots of fun if you can get past the terrible script. I almost bought the Blu-ray recently, so maybe holding off was the right decision.

That's one(Manhunter) that I maybe should consider selling before a UHD gets announced. My Shout Factory blu ray is going for around $100 these days.

You should check out the screen caps because apparently they made some big color adjustments towards yellow/gold that might not be for everyone.

so my wife bought me a copy of 'the shiver of the vampires' not knowing i already had one. anybody interested for $25? pm me if interested. shipping included there. sealed and all. brand new. or if you're in tucson and want to swing by or have me swing by, can do that too.

or if there's a better thread for me to post this, just direct me. doesn't seem worth a thread in sa-mart.

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.

I'd probably use "New 4K restorations by Universal" instead of "Restored in 4K" as that's how Criterion usually phrases it. Must be a contractual thing as Kino puzzlingly omitted the fact that The Lady from Shanghai and Hardcore are from 4K restorations.

While 4K being the resolution for restoration or scanning, most of the time it's more to do with future-proofing and preservation than 4K actually being a necessary resolution for the presentation. Like there's zero reason for UHDs of stuff like the Universal silents Kino has been releasing even though the work was done in 4K.

Yeah, I'm not expecting the price to drop more, I'm just thinking in terms of "oh god what the gently caress else am I gonna have to order from there this week, better at least make it all in one payment/come in one shipped box" :negative: 37.5 more hours

I think heat really bought him a few decades of goodwill..depending on how old you are you can replace heat with manhunter

At least even his misfires are entertaining in the spectacle sense..I remember thinking how weird his whole video look choice was for public enemies..it literally negates all the good period costume and set design

The "I'm a fiend for mojitos" boat ride bought Mann a lifetime of goodwill IMO

Well the release date for Legend of Boggy Creek came and went, no sign that it actually is available to buy. Not very surprised to be honest, it always seemed like one of those releases that would be delayed a bunch of times.
