Yeah preordered the other day. High time I upgraded the average Blu-ray I've got. Also my copy of Michael Mann's Miami Vice with the DC arrived earlier today.

Anything MGM like Tank Girl will likely get reissued sooner than later. I wouldn't worry about waiting too long for anything they or Universal own.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I got burnout on DVD extras 10 years ago for some reason. Before I would watch all the documentaries and interviews and watch the whole movie over again with the commentary but now I’m just one and done, just gimme the picture quality

I will watch bonus features before the main feature if I've seen the movie/TV show already. I know I made the mistake of watching bonus features for Spirited Away before having seen it, and boy was I tired of both the Japanese and English cast by then. I watched it in French!

For me it depends on the movie. For niche stuff I’m particularly in to (horror/whatever), I’ll usually watch the special features after watching the film. Pretty rare that I dig back in to them after that, but I do rewatch the films themselves relatively often.

I’ll get to extras usually on a rewatch or if I’m researching for a job.

I need to get back to being a big Extras watcher. They're a selling point but I've definitely fallen off of how I used to love them as a kid. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the Zachariah and Napoleon Dynamite commentaries recently. Zachariah's especially gave me an all new appreciation for a movie I already liked.

I… might actually buy that Lost in Space blu-ray. It’s not great but I definitely watched it often when I was younger because it came packed in with basically every single new dvd player anyone in my family bought for years. It also has that extremely late 90s sci-fi production design where everything is smooth and blue-grey and looks like a Rio600 mp3 player.

Huh, apparently Lost in Space already had a Blu-ray from 2010 and actually has quite a lot of extras - two commentaries, deleted scenes, two featurettes, a Q&A, music video, and trailer.. Weird choice to license if they're not doing 4K.

All Blu-rays have been the director's cut. There is a 4K UHD edition in the works either from Criterion or Warner that should be released this year, with both theatrical and director's cuts in 4K.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:Sure, Tank Girl and Masters of the Universe aren't great movies (though Tank Girl does have the bonus of at least being somewhat interesting aesthetically), but the dreck being released means sometimes my dreck gets a cool release, like Super Mario Bros. 1993. And if Final Fantasy Advent Children can get a 4K UHD, so can Tekken Blood Vengeance, surely! I'm glad you mentioned that Super Mario Bros. 1993 was out, I was just looking for that a few weeks ago and couldn't find anything physical to buy! Also will definitely be grabbing The Faculty and Tank Girl, and probably Lost in Space.

One of those movies I finally watched about 12 years ago when I first had Netflix, but couldn't tell you a thing about what happened.

It's watchable, just the result of using the 2003 HD master done for the special edition DVD and from when Warner's encodes were still kind of mediocre. What's interesting is that the 1997 DVD is actually from an HD master that was done for the 1995 Pioneer laserdisc. I've been doing 720p upscales of my DVD collection for my media server and it doesn't look too bad:

Eureka is also putting out the China O'Brien movies on 4k in April. So is Vinegar Syndrome later in the year, so you can wait if you prefer VS.

grabbed Black Mask (UK edition since it was cheaper). Very curious what a longer cut does for this one.

Has anyone bothered making their own edits of films for their own enjoyment? I’ve been toying with this idea because often times in extended editions there are some scenes that improve the movie and some that drag, and I’d like to see a version with just the additional scenes I liked

(1993) to remove one line in one of the extra scenes because it makes the later "Mario Mario" scene less funny and to restore the theatrical "Goodbye dinosaurs!" monologue and scene in the opening because I liked it more, and it was that version I showed to friends. It was a fun experiment, and I'd love to do that more. I've considered rescoring silent films but never got around to it.

I've always wanted to, but the thing that always kills my interest is the audio editing. If someone provided me with ripped 5.1 audio tracks so I could have some degree of control over the audio I'd be all about it. But I'm not doing that poo poo myself. e: I did have fun overlaying the color data from Ted Turner's colorized King Kong on top of the Blu-ray a few years ago. That felt pleasantly perverse. Too much work to do more than a few scenes, though, since the framing of the footage doesn't fully line up. I think more fan edits should be sick poo poo like that. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jan 25, 2024 |

I made an “Animal Friendly” episode of Chernobyl. My wife refused to watch the series knowing that one episode was 50% animal murder, but the show was too good to let her not watch it.

Two ideas I've had for a while is making a B&W version of The Shining and turn Avatar into a silent film with intertitles and color tinting.

I should actually make the B&W edit of Minority Report that I've been wanting for years. Instead I've just been turning the color setting on my TV to 0. Maybe it's time to do it right. Shame I can't decrease the bloom, though. Maybe some horrific AI plugin will come out that can do that in the next few years.

Plus, the last fan edit thread I can remember is The Thief and the Cobbler: The Recobbled Cut. I followed the fallout of that drama across three different communities. Not to say don't go for it, though. I will definitely post in it.

I think fan edits should either be reconstructions or something meant to just be a fun experiment. Another I'd find interesting would be It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World cut down to 90 minutes plus credits (general release cut is 2 1/2 hours and the uncut version Criterion put out is over three). But once you get into the hubris of trying to "improve" a film rather than just treating it like an editing exercise... One reason why I think "experimental" edits are fine is that many filmmakers actually would do this. D.W. Griffith reworked Intolerance into a pair of much shorter cutdowns of individual stories. Or how Ingmar Bergman created the three hour theatrical cut of Fanny and Alexander, while also putting together a five hour miniseries version. One edit I've wanted to see is the fan edit I think Arrow or Shout put out of DePalma's Raising Cain that reworked the film closer to its original edit
