War of the Worlds was exciting. The less-than-great ending wasn't enough to defile the rest of a fun movie there.

I said come in! posted:So it sounds like the 2008 blu-ray isn't much better, but between the lesser of the two evils, the 2008 one is the one to get? I'm in full support of grain, but the 2008 blu-ray looks like total poo poo.

Red posted:Okay, that's it. I'm going on record as saying I ENJOYED THE FRIDGE NUKE SCENE. I did too, I didn't even mind aliens. I just felt like it was phoned-in old people walking from point to point with CG ants chasing them. I know Temple of Doom is not the world's favorite movie, but jesus, it's THAT bad? Neo_Reloaded posted:And it would appear we aren't getting Finding Nemo this year either... Toy Story 3 was announced alongside the Mattor shorts - no Finding Nemo mention whatsoever. I'm really starting to get pissed about this one - it's been rumored every 6 months since 2008. Are you kidding? What the hell is going on with Nemo?

VoodooXT posted:While they can be pretty 'spergy sometimes, they can be right on the money once in a while. Case in point: Gladiator and Gangs of New York. Those two original transfers were absolutely atrocious and anyone who said they were decent transfers were probably blind. The replacements we ended up getting are gorgeous. I still think Gladiator looked great.

GonSmithe posted:You are absolutely and completely blind, and shouldn't waste money on blu-rays if you think this. oh okay I'll stop Edit: It wasn't like I was jizzing over the picture quality (and the Braveheart disc I popped in afterwards DID look a lot better), but I just didn't know there was anything "wrong" with it until people kept telling me there was.

Red posted:It's not a new issue with Deep Discount, either. The last time I ordered from them was probably 2003 - and a DVD that was in stock took almost a month to get to me. After that, it was Amazon for good. Yeah I remember years ago getting some loving Beast Wars Season 3 DVD from them and not knowing where it even came from. Turns out I ordered it like a year ago as a gift and completely forgot about it.

Whatever I like it.\ I bought it too, but forgot to ever write about it because my Best Buy down here put it out like three weeks ago on accident. It's awesome.

The DNR on Predator is ridiculous, and we all know it, but that first blu ray was ugly as poo poo too. I'm all for grain, but it was grain to the level of "I should have just kept the DVD."

Steve Yun posted:I will say this in the defense of Alien 3, although I was pissed off that they threw away the emotional investment I had from 2, I have to say that they captured that sense of loss and tragedy pretty powerfully Yeah, I never disliked A3 for any of that stuff. I actually thought the brutality of the opening was awesome. That being said, I just think A3 acts a little self-important and is just a hair boring. I thought the extended cut was actually a lot worse.

hitze posted:"Eh. It's bad, but it's not as bad as say, the worst blu-ray every released" This is a little unfair though- The original blu ray looked like complete poo poo as well. I'm all for film grain but it was dirty to the point of not being worth the Blu purchase.

Dissapointed Owl posted:I have that release and, while not great, the grain is in fact the way they shot it and because of the type of film they used. It wasn't artificial, it was exactly how it was shot, which is why that's how I'd want to see it. I see where you're coming from, but the thing looked like poo poo.

Amazon never fouls up anything for me, how did they gently caress up the one blu ray I was waiting a billion years for? HOW????

CPL593H posted:I just find it weird that this stuff overshadows the actual movie for people. Like everyone who raged about the new Star Trek blu-ray not having a commentary track or something. I don't get why that's a deal breaker if you liked the movie enough to want to buy it in the first place. I buy it for the full package. I liked the movie, but if I get nothing else then I'll just rent it or see it on TV. A lot of people like the extras, and most good movies don't gently caress them up. Star Trek did.

Yeah, I'm baffled by people saying the original Blu looked better. It didn't even look HD. Every release has been poo poo.

Random question, but I'm looking to maybe get the Twin Peaks Blu Ray set for some people this Christmas as a gift. I don't really know a lot about it, but I heard it had some audio issues. Did they... fix that? Is it safe to get that as a gift for people or what?

Ehh, yeah, but at least the Alien is a cool design, you know? Giger's stuff is great. A giant blue Jamie Foxx head looks like poo poo no matter the context.

Egbert Souse posted:Disney is releasing Swiss Family Robinson and Return to Oz as Disney Movie Club exclusives. They've also released Pollyanna, Old Yeller, and The Love Bug this way. It looks like these exclusives are still high quality remasters, but no sign of being released outside the club. Holy crap, are you serious? I'd never heard about any of these and I'd die to own them all. What the hell?

TheJoker138 posted:Men In Black 2 is what angry nerds on the internet like to pretend that Ghostbusters 2 is. Ghostbusters 2 is a fine movie that a bunch of dummies don't like even though it's got a ton of great and memorable scenes. MIB2 is an actual terrible sequel and has a scene where an alien girl makes her tits bigger after looking at a billboard. Man I don't think I've ever agreed with a post more than this. Ghostbusters 1 and 2 are like the same shade of goofy fun poo poo, who cares
