I'm finally making the jump to blu-ray. Should I rebuy Blade Runner?

It's a shame to see that the picture-in-picture stuff on The Wolfman is only on the theatrical release. I may have to buy one and rent the other.

At 25fps, an 83 minutes film would only be about three seconds shorter.

OldSenileGuy posted:No it wouldn't. A film that runs 83 minutes at 24 fps would run 79 minutes and 40 seconds (and 20 frames) at 25fps. I'm good at maths  Yeah, I meant three minutes, but that would require me to be not stupid

doctor thodt posted:edit: The Exorcist is coming 10/5 in a digibook. It will include both the director's and theatrical cuts of the film. You just made my day. I must say though, that there are three versions of the film; the original theatrical cut that was subsequently banned, the 25th anniversary edition which is Friedkin's preferred cut and the "version you've never seen" which is the longest version and Blatty's preferred cut. Which two are on he blu-ray?

So is Friedkin pretending that the longer version is his preferred version now? That guy is full of poo poo.

Honest Thief posted:I don't think it's anything new, on both accounts. He seemed pretty excited over it on a documentary made a couple decades after the original cut, and on the same documentary he sounded like a douche when arguing with the screenwriter, or producer, can't recall which He's been on record many times arguing with Blatty over it, defending his own decision to cut the scenes that magically reappeared on the extended version and now he prefers that version?

I'm curious, has anyone seen Green Zone on DVD? Because I can't imagine that grain holding up well in standard definition. Someone at work was complaining because they'd watched the blu-ray and he thought it was a faulty disc. I had to explain to him that "Green Zone just looks like that, it's actually a flawless transfer".

Only the Exorcist didnt make it. Ever happen to anyone else here? I always get my Amazon pre-orders early, which is why I always pre-order from Amazon.

doctor thodt posted:Right. However, be aware that there's a chance that it won't include the bonus DVD with all the special features. There's a lovely trend occurring among some studios right now where all/most of the special features are contained on a separate DVD, and this DVD is only limited to the first pressing of a given title. Even though The Evil Dead only came out a month ago, people are already getting copies that don't contain the DVD. I really can't figure out the logic behind this one.

Space_Butler posted:If you have an incredibly expensive d-box chair/system you this movie supports it. Think rumble in video games, but it also moves in directions and motions synced to whats happening onscreen. Pretty much nobody has it in their home theater unless they're a millionaire but it costs probably a dollar total to throw the file on the disc. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

I have the King Kong digibook winging its way over to me. I absolutely cannot wait, it's killing me. It's going to take pride of place in my collection and I will watch it daily because I loving love King Kong.

Neo_Reloaded posted:At least the original mono track has the correct audio. I don't like these 7.1 reimaginings for classic films anyway. Me neither. I used to think it was great when I got my first decent sound system, but now I'll take a mono track if that's what the film was released with. I bet the younger me would have hated grain on his blu-rays too.

Rocco posted:I feel like I'm the only one legitimately excited for -all- the movies in the Alien box set. You may well be. Alien Resurrection is not well liked around these parts. I'm personally only excited for Alien and Alien3. I don't like admitting it, but I don't think Aliens is all that great.

You know people are allowed to have their own opinions on things, right? If someone bought a blu-ray and enjoy it in spite of what everyone is telling them, good for them. I actually think Back to the Future looks pretty good, myself.

Bambi posted:The restoration work done on Space: 1999 is breathtaking and easily on par with The Twilight Zone, Star Trek and The Prisoner. If you're at all a fan of this show, the Blu-Rays are a must buy. They just dropped in price on Amazon too. I was considering this, I remember watching Space 1999 as a kid. Maybe I'll give it a rental first.

Adrianics posted:Only tangibly related I know, but all this talk of HD streaming using Netflix is making me jealous because the UK Netflix equivalent, Lovefilm, just launched their streaming for the PS3 and it is absolutely loving atrocious. It's a mixed bag, to be honest. Certain films look fine, but others are just horrendous. I'd love HD streaming though, hopefully that's around the corner.

Magic Hate Ball posted:I like the eyeball/mountain cover, and it'll probably make more sense in print anyways. The Dictator one is unbelievably awful, and being in print won't save it simply because it doesn't make sense. One way it's Chaplin with a goiter/kerchief, the other way it's Hitler puking into a hat. I see it more as Hitler with a tiny body. Just picture tiny-bodied Hitler waddling around and the cover becomes much better.
