To my knowledge, the only Fleischer Superman blu-rays are lovely public domain cash grabs ripped straight from VHS. Warner did a nice DVD set, but I doubt they'd ever upgrade.

I'm sure the crowd asking for it is probably tiny, but Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon doesn't have a US blu-ray release. I love that movie, but my ancient DVD is starting to get hosed up.

Timby posted:I originally loved that movie to bits, but as time has gone by I enjoy it less and less. Carrey portrays Kaufman as a simpering manchild, whereas everything else I've ever seen and read about him suggests that he was a dark, conniving, deeply troubled puppetmaster. Yeah, for me the appeal is mostly nostalgia at this point. I appreciate it for what it is and for introducing me to Kaufman's work, but it hasn't aged well. Has there been any news regarding a physical Breaking Bad 4k release? There's a thread about it on blu-ray.com, but it hasn't updated in over a year. I imagine that kind of set would be outrageously expensive, but BB is one of the few shows I'd upgrade without hesitation.

RichterIX posted:I didn't realize Fox wasn't going to bother putting out Archer season 7 on blu-ray. I mean, I hear it sucks anyway but it's annoying that they decided to stop with the blu-rays 7 loving seasons in. They've done the same for King of The Hill and Simpsons. It was only a matter of time and I fully expect the same to happen with Sunny.

I have mine alphabetized and separated into TV and Film bookshelves but it's a real pain in the rear end whenever I buy new stuff. Thinking of starting over and just putting genres together instead.

Basebf555 posted:I tried the genre thing but I found that the idea of genres really breaks down when you're forced to actually pick a spot for a movie to sit on a shelf. So many of my favorite sci fi films are also horror, for instance, so I ended up just combining those sections into one big scifi/horror shelf. Yeah, that's what I'm aiming for. Scifi/Horror, Drama/Comedy, Action, and Collections. My other big problem is that I'm running out of space and I can't add another bookshelf. Might be time to start storing stuff I rarely watch.

I stuck all my unwatched stuff together on one shelf and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Maybe 25-30 individual films, so just under a fifth of my stuff. It's a weird mix too, lots of stuff I must have bought dirt cheap or at Half Price Books.

My dad still owns his Laserdisc player. In fact, the last time I took him record hunting, he found out the store had a bunch of LDs for $1, so he sat down on the floor in the middle of the aisle and proceeded to pick through every last one of them.

I actually didn't mind them, they always kept the discs secure and the locking hinge was oddly satisfying. Their main problem was in stacking or lining them up because they'd warp easy and your shelf would look all  .I think they were wider than standard cases too, so the spines stuck out.

I don't remember ever buying a movie at Suncoast, but I bought a ton of action figures there. It absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw toys based on R-rated movies. I also remember buying Dick Tracy and Austin Powers Mez-Its there for $3 each.

I have a 4K setup and I can see a small difference, but I'm not sure it's worth the upgrade (at least not yet). To be fair though, everything I have in 4K is from the last 2 years, maybe an older film without cg would look better.

Egbert Souse posted:Part of it is that they're more expensive on first run stuff. The new Bambi and Pinocchio Signature Editions are $26.99, while Best Buy has them for $19.99. Even Best Buy's selection is getting sparse. Both of my local stores have downsized their Blu/DVD section three times in the last year.

Kingtheninja posted:In an effort to not go crazy over the criterion sale, is the lone wolf set worth picking up? I think I've only seen the first one, and it's been a while. I don't remember if these were good movies (good transfers?) or just popular for how over the top they were. Absolutely. They're all fantastic and even the American edit is worth watching for the intensely 80's synth score.

Is there any hope for 50's schlock like It Conquered The World or Invasion of the Saucermen to ever get blu releases? The last time I saw It Conquered... was 20 years ago on VHS and apparently it never even got a DVD release.

They've done that for TFA and Rogue One before though. The only strictly 40th Anniversary things they've done are a few panels at Celebration, an anthology book with a bunch of bad short stories, and the requisite toys and shirts.

Liar Lyre posted:The reason I collect is I’m afraid of streaming services collapsing. If Netflix decides to shift to a 100% original programming model, then I can’t watch certain movies. And there is already a trend of studios creating their own platforms meaning I have to subscribe to dozens of sites to watch everything. And not everything is available to stream either. And no special features for digital media. Physical media is the safest model for a film fanatic. I can’t remember the exact number, but the number of films available on Netflix has dropped by an insane percent over the last few years. That, combined with the current trend of every channel and studio wanting their own service and pulling stuff off of Netflix, means I just buy basically everything I watch and enjoy. It’s expensive, but I don’t have to worry about lovely stream resolution, monthly fees, or dwindling selection. And to be a total hypocrite, I haven’t bought a physical video game in over 3 years. You get spoiled with everything just sitting on the Xbone hard drive.

My area of Houston has gently caress all for good finds, but I usually come back from Austin shops with 10 or so great finds. Speaking of, if you’re near a Fry’s Electronics you may want to check them out. They’ve started to clearance a lot of Arrow Video releases at $13-18 each. Picked up a bunch of giallo and their The Hills Have Eyes release.

They actually just released season 18 on dvd after a long break, but IIRC 19 is the only other release they have planned. Seasons 21+ will probably never get physical releases. Even a complete series set when the show finally ends is hugely unlikely.

They'll tell the cast to get hosed.  if you seriously think Disney wouldn’t see The Simpsons as a potentially lucrative franchise and milk the poo poo out of it. When the cast starts dying of old age, they’ll just recast them and keep it running for another 30 seasons.

Basebf555 posted:Like ten years ago they did a feature film and it was actually not terrible, they should've planned that as the big finale for the show. I’ve never bought into the “everything after season 10 is poo poo” argument. There’s more good than bad all the way through ~season 14-15. The tipping point is somewhere after that, though I’ve enjoyed occasional episodes as recently as season 26. It really should end at 30 though, because the last two seasons have absolutely been the worst yet.
