Acquired the 4K of The Driver for £12 and the Kielslowski 'Cinema of Conflict' boxset for £30 at my local HMV, which I think the cashier said was mislabelled but they still honoured the price. Considering it's normally £50 I think that's not bad (though I might have given them the impression I was going to flip it in eBay), if only I could now get a good deal on the Three Colors 4K set.

I watched Magic Crystal a few days ago (it was a rumoured release) and liked it, broad and funny and fun, Amblin-esque and breezy. Some fun effects and decent action. Not my favourite Rothrock joint but I’ll pick it up at some point.

The 50th Anniversary is in 2026. Not saying they're waiting, but the conceivably could and just continue to do screenings up until then.

Not my favourite Rothrock joint but I’ll pick it up at some point. We did a double feature one Friday with Magic Crystal and Prince of the Sun and it’s all kinda blended together in my memory. Hopefully this means VS will be getting the latter at some point, because they both have their own wacky merits.

Oh poo poo. Gonna grab Le Guerre… I’m huge into Yves Montand’s other big film, Z, and I missed the opportunity to see this one a month or so ago. Love that VS helps support projects like that!

https://shoutfactory.com/collections/site-exclusives-gifts-with-purchase/products/the-ring-collection Shout/Arrow are smart for bundling horror franchises like this. I only want the first, but if I want it bad enough…. I have to buy the sequels. Oh, just saw they announced Dead Zone 4K and The Man in the Iron Mask 4K as well! Oh poo poo.

Anyone have any experience with Cinestrange Extreme? I'd never heard of it, and they have a blu-ray of the terrible / great film Warriors of Virtue, and it's the only way I can find it anamorphic. It's under the german title 'Creature Zone'. (Just a heads up, the Cinestrange Extreme website has a weird NSFW CGI naked horror lady animation on the homepage.)

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but I've noticed that playing 4Ks on my Sony UBP-X700 causes the occasional skip or even freeze. It only happens when I play 4Ks, never normal blu-rays. Even just opening and closing the disc tray will resolve it, so I don't know if it's a dust issue or what, but it's really annoying. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a fix short of getting a new 4K player?

That used to happen with mine pretty regularly, but there was a firmware update a year or two ago that seems to have fixed it. Every now and then a disc will lag for a second or two if I have Dolby Vision, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be. There were times where it would freeze so bad that the player was non responsive and I would have to unplug and reboot it to fix it.

My understanding is that it happens most often when the laser is switching layers. Happened yesterday during the Exorcist around the halfway mark or so.

I used to have that issue when playing 3-layer 4k discs with my UBP-X700 - I noticed the base of the player would get quite warm to the touch so I now have it sitting on top of some usb-powered fans to keep it cool. Since then I've only had issues where there's actually an issue with the disc (like obvious smudges or scuffs on the surface or the same thing happening on other players). So I'm guessing it's some sort of a heating/cooling issue, maybe if the player gets too hot the laser can't focus good? Or it could be a total coincidence, and I just happened to hook up fans at the same time as the firmware update came in.

The freezing thing happened to me enough (always at the worst times) that it sold me a Panasonic player instead. Never looked back.

I've had the same experience with my X700 where it definitely had a freezing issue that would pop up fairly regularly, then with the update(s) that came along a few years ago that's *mostly* been cleared up. I'll still get the occasional freeze but it happens pretty rarely now and it's solved by just rebooting the disc so it doesn't bother me that much. I'm pretty certain it was the firmware update that did it because I had several UHDs that always froze at the same spot and then after that update I made a point of testing those discs out and all the sudden they weren't freezing anymore.

I still get the freezing after the update. Off the top of my head, both avatar movies have freezes in the same spots every time, as well as top gun maverick. Had a brief freeze in Jaws last night but it didn't stop the playback completely like the others did.

Barbie finally has a confirmed release date of Oct 17 for separate Blu and UHD editions. Only extras are the six featurettes that have already been online since the theatrical release and no Dolby Vision. Lack of extras are obviously due to the strikes, but I'll go out on a limb and predict it's going to get a more substantial release within a year or two from Criterion.

Worth noting that The Flash has Dolby Vision and 2 1/2 hours of extras. Looking around, there hasn't even been a press release yet. esperantinc posted:Gremlins 2 WHEN DAMMIT. It's an obvious Warner license for Shout Factory considering they've already put out a lot of Joe Dante films. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Oct 3, 2023 |

Doesnt mean I couldnt see like a 4K edition on the 1 year anniversary with a bunch of extras cased inside of a Barbie Dream Home next year, but it'd be nice to have a simple disc now with extras ready to go. Take till December for all I care. https://x.com/thediscfather/status/1709231651916816387?s=46

First impressions, I feel a little unimpressed with the 4k set for The Toxic Avenger movies. The box feels kind of cheap. This thing cost $100, but it feels like a $40 set. Haven't watched the discs yet, as this just showed up, but... I don't know... do better, Troma!

I got my copy of the mist in, but I don't know if I have it in me to watch that ending rn, might save that one for down the road. Also oldboy preorder showed up on amazon, no art, no contents..$75 bucks. Hopefully more info soon because what the actual gently caress? https://www.amazon.com/Oldboy-Deluxe-Ultra-Limited-Blu-Ray/dp/B0CJLYXP9Q/
