bad movie knight posted:Being relatively poor, I opted for a budget sound system (it was all I could afford since I only sold $1,200 in food stamps and the first $900 went to PS3+TV). It's really irritating that each time I turn it on and off, I have to hit SOUND until it goes into surround mode. I really don't understand why these people are bitching.

Edit: ^^^ Luckily, so is Steven Seagal and (most of) his movies. Just got finished watching Criterion's Blu of Repulsion (dir. Roman Polanski). Never thought a black and white film could look so good. Criterion is really knocking it out of the park with these transfers, can't wait to see what else they have in store for us. In regards to the film itself, does anyone else find it ironic that the film hints that Carole's extreme fear of men was brought about by some sort of (presumably) sexual childhood trauma, given what Polanski has been accused of?

Criminal Minded posted:There's definitely some interesting things to poke around at in that movie, given Polanski's reputed misogynistic streak. The guy's Playboy interview from the late 60s is pretty bad in that regard. It's also extra juicy because of the adolescent naivete that Deneuve's character projects - it's like if somebody made a horror movie about how boys have cooties. Well, that and the rape. Also, I didn't really see it as him being misogynistic, mostly because the majority of the male characters in the film were creepy pervs who seemed only interested in Carole's body (with the exception of Colin, who gets brutally murdered all the same). Repulsion seems more of a pessimistic take on romantic relations than anything else.

I made a post a while back asking about Platoon but accidentally posted Patton instead. Common mistake I guess.

Picked up the Vengeance Trilogy tin from Best Buy the other day, it was marked as $60 but rang up at $50 (same price as Amazon, but I'm pretty sure the tin is best-buy exclusive).

Holy poo poo, I foolishly ventured into the blu-ray.com forums after reading this thread, and these people are mentally ill. Guy posted this after he posted pictures of his movie collection and someone noticed he had two copies of some blu-rays (Mrs. Doubtfire, End of Days). quote:ye the doubles lol....um on a few occasions i may have asked amazon.ca or .com to send me out a replacement copy (for a "damaged" disc, or whatever) It would make sense if he did this to re-sell the extra copy or lend them out to friends (it would still be wrong) but he just puts them on the shelf and probably never even watches either copy. And they know have a entire subforum dedicated to movies they want to see released on Blu. I found some interesting lists to say the least. quote:Nightmare on Elm Street collection quote:religulous quote:Judgement Night (1993). Such an awesome cast (Denis Leary, Cuba Gooding Jr., Emilio Estevez, Stephen Dorf, and Jeremy Piven). This was an extremely underrated film and used to scare me when I watched it as kid back because of the realism in it. Also the entire DBZ series on Blu-Ray.

I just thought it was funny that he talks about that then shoehorns DBZ in at the end.

caiman posted:I've had the Panny BDT210 for about a year and am extremely happy with it. It's got built in wi-fi, 3D, all the streaming services I need, excellent upconversion, and it loads almost as fast as the PS3. It's about $200 right now on Amazon. Slightly higher than your budget, but it's well worth the extra $50.

There was also a spin-off in the US called That 80's Show. It's an abomination, and probably only worth watching it to see Glenn Howerton slumming it.

Five Cent Deposit posted:Regarding film grain, I can say definitively that a very high proportion of grainy Blu-Rays have artificial grain. That is, the 2K image has been scrubbed of all grain, enhanced for clarity/sharpness/definition, and then period/stock appropriate digital grain patterns are added back in. I've worked for one of the top companies in that field.
