I think Cameron is focused on the T2 remaster in 3D at the moment along with filming as many Avatar sequels as possible. Most of Cameron's back catalog is really mishandled on Blu-ray. Like where the hell is True Lies?

I'm going through blu-ray.com making a list of movies I want to get (there's a lot) and I'm continually baffled at what is and isn't available. I can't get Pretty in Pink, but Santa Claus Conquers the Martians gets a release from Kino Lorber. Cheech and Chong's Next Movie is available, but not Up in Smoke. Dudes is finally getting a release out of VHS, but no True Lies. I'm not mad, just a little confused. EDIT: And one more, Sleepless in Seattle and As Good As It Gets were released through Twilight Time. That just seems wrong. Liar Lyre fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Jun 29, 2017 |

The only 4K movies I have so far are Star Trek Beyond and Labyrinth. I was a little disappointed with Star Trek. Still want to get Power Rangers and Pacific Rim in 4k. I bet both of those would look really good.

I'm pretty sure Kino is going to release the other 2 in the trilogy. I'd wait to see if a box set get released next year.

Boinks posted:At least the DVD still has value I worked at a video store for 2 years, so I have a bit of insight. 1. Some people don't care about video quality and just want cheap movies. DVDs are cheaper. 2. A lot of people that buy physical are older and don't feel like upgrading to blu-ray. 3. Young people tend to just use Netflix because it's cheaper than buying. 4. DVDs are cheaper to produce. There's probably a lot of other reasons too, but that's what I've observed.

Speak of the devil, in October Shout is releasing Dawn of the Dead.........the 2005 Zack Snyder version. Still, it's getting a 2 disc set with both versions. Hopefully this eventually leads to getting the original.

I remember thinking the same thing when Blu-Ray first came out, but now I have to have it on BR or not at all. Eventually 4k will be the standard.

Speaking of 4K, Nolan confirmed he's started remastering the Dark Knight Trilogy. No release date, but that should be a must have set.

I bought Kong today and I really regret not picking it up in 4K. I forgot how vibrant it was. I just need to get more 4K movies in general, especially big action movies.

Kong is incredibly bright and stylized and just fun. The director Jordan Vogt-Roberts was heavily inspired by anime and video games and it shows. It's a better anime movie than movies based on actual animes.

You know what Blu-ray boxset I would love to see? A Godzilla set. If you have never tried to collect the series, it's a pain in the rear end. It wasn't until last year that they were all pressed on disc, but only half of them are on blu-ray due to 6-8 different distributors owning the rights. And most of them are on double feature packs with zero extras. I want someone like Classic Media, now Dreamworks Classics, take a shot at it since they released some great DVDs for the older films.

I went ahead and got the Zatoichi box set. I'm usually not a fan of the the book style packaging, but it's probably the most beautiful set I've seen.

This is our of nowhere, but I hate Disney. The Disney Vault is super real and drives the prices of some movies in the second hand market way up. When I worked at a used video store, Lion King consistently sold for $40+ daily for just the DVD. I want them to just have their whole library consistently available, none of this "retiring" crap.

Boinks posted:Half Price Books prices all their used blu rays at full retail. Like today I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit $12.50 and the Alien Quadrilogy $30. Awesome find! I regularly go to yard sales for finds like this. Best I ever found was a copy of the Criterion edition of House on DVD for $2.

There really is no good Predator blu-ray. You got the '08 edition which is an old and pixelated transfer with a bad codec and tiny disc. The Ultimate Hunter Edition from '10 on the other hand has too much grain removal and has a Vaseline gloss over it. I went with the newer one for more features. 2008 transfer  2010 transfer

November Criterion titles: Le Samouraï Jabberwockey Desert Hearts The Philadelphia Story and lastly a collection of 100 films on the Olympics Jabberwockey is the only one that interests me this month. Maybe Le Samouraï.

I don't know if anyone else was following this, but German company Cinespectral was planning on releasing limited sets for Elvira Mistress of the Dark and Hell Comes to Frog Town. Unfortunately, a series of mishaps has led to the sets to be delayed indefinitely. They mentioned that some other German company may pick up the slack, but right now it doesn't look too good.

CPL593H posted:Yeah, the posters on the blu-ray.com forums are the worst and they nitpick the dumbest poo poo. I've seen some that outright said they won't buy a movie's sole blu-ray release because they didn't like the cover art. To be fair, some releases take a perfectly fine poster design and make some new photoshop abomination. These Spider-Man ones are atrocious.

Multi feature sets drive me up the wall. I will always go individual release when possible, unless the set includes extra features. The Bond series is probably the worst offender. Every time they release a new movie they rerelease the series set with one more movie and extra. I could just buy the new one individually but then the collection looks goofy. And they can't keep a consistent design between releases either. The Fast and Furious franchise has been really good about that thought. Last few movies got steelbook releases from Best Buy that match which I appreciate.

When I went to school for filmmaking, we were talking about 4k for just filming and having a larger canvas to work with when doing digital effects to make them look better. 4k TVs were just an idea at the time.

If anything though, there's gonna be 3 new documentaries/interviews, new commentary, and all the legacy features from the DVD.

Alec Eiffel posted:Why is covers in scare quotes? The cover is literally a piece of carboard glued on top of the case. So underneath the new cover for Killer Klowns is this.  Well, at least that's what it looks like. I'm just assuming from the picture provided and the fact they've done this a lot lately.
