I love the fast and furious movies :smith:, they're my guilty pleasures.

They're all decent/good/genuinely entertaining except the pile of poo poo that is 2Fast2Furious. My favourite is Tokyo Drift.

Anyone here have the Vengeance trilogy on blu-ray? Are there problems with it? From what I've seen on Amazon.com, something's wrong with the packaging. AV quality are all good?

Got my first digibook with Se7en and think it's pretty neato, so I may jump for this, seeing as it's one of my favorite movies.

By the way, why is there such adversity to 'em? I mean I guess I've read people prefer the traditional cases but I've never heard a real "why" they do.

Probably because they're sperglords so everything must be uniform and perfect on the shelf.

Good lord, that is PACKED. So stoked for that release.


e: There was a recent rumor about The Incredibles coming to BD next spring. This has been confirmed by a trailer included with Toy Story 3.

Jesus Christ, finally. It's like they knew that this one movie is the one people actually wanted on BD and held it back. It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

That's just a terrible cover overall regardless of Liam's face. There are a lot of things you could do with A-Team and four guys and make it look cool. That's just lazy and unimaginative.

The DVD cover literally has them hovering above the ground. They just took the movie poster and photoshopped everyone up the image so they're detached from their shadows just floating in the air.

drat, I just saw it on Amazon. They could have paid someone in SA-Mart $50 for better work. I guess this movie was so disappointing in the box office that they're trying to recoup costs everywhere.

What's up with the TRON blu-ray? Seems like they're missing a good opportunity to release it. Though I'm watching it right now and it wouldn't jive too well with TRON Legacy's target audience.

Seems like that plan of not hurting the ticket sales really came through in the end :v:

I saw it today and I liked it. Although it doesn't hurt having Olivia Wilde...in leather tights...in 3D...in IMAX. And I just saw the original yesterday for the first time and I thought it was somewhat lame though I appreciated it to an extent.

Now we wait for that pic of a collection organized by genre/director/alphabet and whatever the hell else.

I have to admit that I care about getting my packaging in good condition, but I've been caring less and less over the years. When I get something initially, I inspect it. Litte dents bother me, but then I don't even care the next day. Honestly, it's probably about how busy you are in your life and what kind of priorities you have.

Hahaha, not even a contest. Audio nerds are terrible and half the time it's some pseudo crap they're talking about. At least with videos, we can stand around and compare stuff, point to stuff rather than say, "Did you hear the difference? I did!"

But about the EE, I like the way Fellowship looks now. Flesh tones look more natural or less pale and nature shots are deeper in colour. Some greens are a bit strong though.

Ouch, by far the worst movie I've seen all year. I was a big fan of Snyder's "Watchmen", but SP is just an unwatchable mess of a film.

I read some discussion about it on the imdb forums, made me appreciate it a lot more. Still like Watchmen a lot more though, but there's something to be appreciated about SP.

I actually like the black bars, gives it more of a cinematic feel. When I watch something that isn't full screen on my monitor, I'll adjust the window size so that there are some black bars.

One thing I don't understand is that the fullscreen DVDs seemed to be specific to the US. The studios had no problem dictating that it was widescreen or nothing in most other markets. You would think there's be a proportional number of those "idiots" in Europe, the UK, Australia etc.

No, you wouldn't really.

Anyone know how the Star Trek TOS blu-rays sold? I just got into Star Trek TNG and I decided to check out the remastered first season and it looks amazing and I'm finding it watchable so far (all factors considered). A little late to the party, I know.

I went looking for TNG blu-ray information and it's definitely in the works. A four-episode tester is being put out likely in December. And LeVar Burton put out that positive tweet of when he got a sneak peek at the remaster. Turns out they have to remaster it as well since the show was shot on film, but the effects were done in 480p so it would be a real disservice to just upscale everything (as it would have been for TOS). I'm hoping the tester is well-received and they can go on to full production. Anyway, that's why I ask about the sales of the TOS blu-rays.

Dudebro

I :fap: TO UNDERAGE GYMNASTS
So I'm guessing the sales isn't something that one would worry about? Still, it's a tremendous undertaking to redo the effects.

But I imagine that TNG is the most popular series so it would sell even better than TOS. Anyone who likes TOS first probably likes TNG, but not necessarily the other way around. That's my impression from my generation anyway.

Me too. But for the later, actually good, seasons, and not the first two, very boring, seasons.

I've just started watching the series for the first time and almost done the first two seasons. They seem fine to me and have been very enjoyable so far. Season 1 is different though because of budget (I'm guessing) and ironing out the wrinkles. My guess is that season one will benefit the most from redone effects.

He's only beardless in season one and goddamn is it weird. The beard only works because it hides the extreme smugness of his face :smug: <--- Might as well be called :riker: (hah, didn't know this existed)

One of my favourite episodes is the traveller episode (Where No One Has Gone Before) from season one. Can't wait to see that in glorious 1080p.

Close-ups of Data will be downright frightening. I'm really interested in what they do with the episode about that addictive game. There were lots of effects in that one. I've got a list of my favourites. Can't wait to rewatch them, but it'll be years for all the seasons to come out.

TOS Season 3 Blu-Ray = December 15, 2009

I wouldn't expect an aggressive release like that since they are dipping their toe in the water to see if it will sell.

Thanks. I would be very surprised if the TNG sets did not at least sell around the same, if not better, than the TOS sets.

But they might be better served to sell them at least 6-12 months apart because I'm guessing that each one won't be too aggressively priced at all at first.
