I couldn't care less what people do with the packaging on their blu-rays.

Whenever anyone questions the necessity of my Blu-Ray collection, I show them Speed Racer. The most beautiful film ever made.

I hate that film so much.

Yeah, I understand. It's got a silly plot and hokey dialogue, and the characters are all hilariously one dimensional. But are you denying that it is drop dead gorgeous?

Yes I am. I think it's hideous.

I'm kind of curious about the Star Trek TOS blu-rays. Are there any changes made that made fans grumble, or are all the changes good ones?

They're completely optional, unlike the Star Wars enhancements.

I remember Days Like These. It fit nicely into that weird niche of very American-like sitcoms that were cropping up a lot at the time, like Game On and Coupling where everyone talks about getting drunk and having sex all the time and never actually drink anything or have any sex.

Teenagers, in other words.

Only one of those shows I mentioned is about teenagers. It was just a weird trend of the nineties sitcom to have people talking about doing stuff and never doing it. Like Joey in Friends with his rampant sex life.

Hot drat that looks cool. LOVE the art on the DVD sleeves. No word yet about what's on the bonus disc.

People who don't care about correct aspect ratios are the worst kind of people.

I wish I didn't agree with this, but I do. I've told everyone in my family off about it so many times. Why are the black bars more distracting to you than the stretched people?

Incorrect. People who want everything to be fullscreen and say "those black bars are cutting off the picture" still this day and age are the worst, sorry.

Those are the same people who bang on about being able to see Carl Weathers' arm in Predator. Oh really? Let's pop in the DVD and see, shall we?

Blu-ray.com has these UK versions as region-free - is this true? I would buy these in a heartbeat. Thanks for the heads up!

EDIT: nevermind, they don't ship outside Europe.

I can assure you that the Twilight Zone blu rays available in the UK play on region A, B and C players. Not that it matters.

edit: I just wrote this, which I think would be of interest to this thread.

I've been going through the Universal Monsters blu ray box set and it is just fantastic. The restoration of Dracula is just astounding, especially the work they did on the soundtrack. I never noticed before how some scenes in that film actually are filled with interesting sound design instead of this all-consuming hiss. Plus, that tantalising 3-D restoration of Creature From the Black Lagoon is making me wish I had a 3-D TV.

Oh, by the way, there's almost certainly going to be a third Star Trek series coming to Blu-ray this year: we're probably looking at a mid-2013 release of the Animated Series.

You have no idea how happy this makes me.

There should be a setting on your player that pevents it from trying to connect.

My cases are not cracked? Is this a common thing with those cases?

I think it's a region free player so if that's important for you then it might be good to pick one up. Otherwise it seems like you'd be good with a cheaper dedicated player.

It definitely isn't region free.

I've been waiting for The Muppet Movie to be released on Blu Ray for ages, and now it finally has. Does anybody know if it's region free?

From what I'm seeing, it is not. Which is a drat shame because I want it too.
