Bambi posted:Some audiophiles just piss and moan about wanting to be able to do everything via their receivers. I've heard some fat PS3 owners complain a whole lot about the fact that their PS3 doesn't light up the DTS-HD or Dolby HD lights on their receiver, even though it has no effect on the sound at all.

Honest Thief posted:how are Warner Bros. Blurays usually like? I'm thinking of getting Exorcist which comes out September according to play.com You might want to wait and see if William Friedkin does anything crazy to it before you buy it. He completely changed the colors in The French Connection. It looks cool, but I'd like to have the original version too

Does anyone know if I'll eventually be able to get Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More individually? I was looking at dvdbeaver and they seem to look great, but it sounds like I'd be better off getting a different country's edition of GBU

Has anyone seen either of the Michael Keaton Batman movies on BD? I have a gift card at Best Buy where they're $20 apiece, but I'm having a hard time deciding based on dvdbeaver whether they're worth the upgrade or not from the Special Edition DVDs.

doctor thodt posted:Bootlegs are pretty uncommon. If the seller has good feedback then you should be fine. I've gotten my fair share of discs on ebay. Cool. I want Adventureland and I got all excited when I saw a "On Sale!" sticker on it at Best Buy, until I got closer and saw that it's "on sale" for the price of $26.99. I'm hoping I can find it a lot cheaper on ebay or elsewhere online.

BajaBurrito posted:I dunno - it looks like the Premium Edition is only the stand-alone Final Cut as already distributed in the EU, so it seems to me the US multi-disc, multi-cut edition is still the ultimate release. Oh, yeah, I was just saying the packaging probably looks really cool. I don't think I'll be actually buying another copy of Blade Runner for a good long while. Having multiple copies across multiple media is one thing, I don't think I'm ready to start double-dipping within blu-ray yet.

I picked up Kill Zone and The Banquet at Best Buy for $15 each and they both have terrific PQ and lossless audio. Who'd have thought! Have there been any reviews for these? I'll take your word on The Banquet, but I've been eyeing Fong Sai-Yuk and Tai Chi Master and can't find anyone's comments about them.

Is there any reason at all to have lossless audio for Always Sunny? The first season of Weeds is all on one disc in 1080p but with a regular DTS track (if I remember correctly) and it looks okay, certainly not great, but better than the Always Sunny Christmas BD at least.

How's Wong Kar-wai's Fallen Angels? It's on sale on the Best Buy website for $9.99, which is perfect impulse buy territory for me, and everything I've read about it sounds interesting, but I was never very thrilled with Chungking Express. Granted, it's been years since I've seen it, but I thought I'd ask people's opinion anyway.

Yeah, chiming in to agree that the Halloween disc looks so drat good that it overwhelms the color timing issue. It doesn't look NEARLY as old as it actually is, it's actually kind of jarring when you turn it on.

I wonder how the Blair Witch BD will turn out. Wasn't it shot on 16mm and, like, consumer-grade video? The 16mm parts might benefit, but I guess at $9.99 it's hard to complain since I don't already own it.

Can anyone tell me about the various international versions of Let the Right One In? I was dumb enough to buy the US release with the bad subtitles, and on principle I'd rather not give Magnolia MORE money to replace the lovely product they released originally. I've been thinking about importing, but I'm having a hard time finding reliable info on which countries have region-free releases and how they compare to the US in picture quality.

Certain companies (Warner Bros. included, obviously) have been sending those "Rental Only" copies of both DVD and Blu-ray movies for about a year now. I think it's an attempt to cut down on the number of people taking advantage of Blockbuster's "5 previously rented movies for $20" deals.

Is the blu-ray of Evil Dead 2 really bad? Review sites seem pretty evenly split on it. In spite of how good the ED1 transfer is supposed to be, I really prefer 2 as a movie.

A lot of the Director's Cut stuff is really dumb but I actually kind of like the random gargoyle heads and stuff because the shots are composed in such a way that they are rarely the first thing you notice. When you see them in stills they look a lot shittier than they seem when you're actually watching the movie.

If you can look at this screenshot and not feel sort of creeped out, then the problems with the BttF blu-rays probably won't bother you so you should purchase and enjoy them on your own terms http://www.imagebam.com/image/268ceb103448476

Has anybody else watched their The Girl Who Played with Fire disc? I watched it the other night and the picture quality seems strangely... bad. At the very least, it's inconsistent. Some shots look fine while others look really fuzzy and noisy. I also saw a big-rear end hair or scratch or something dancing around on the right side of the screen for like 15 seconds. I don't remember The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo having these issues.

In regards to my earlier post about The Girl Who Played with Fire: I didn't realize that this and the third one were basically made-for-TV movies and shot in 16mm. I was wondering why the second one looked so much shittier than the first.

doctor thodt posted:I dunno man, according to a lot of chatter all over the internet, the desaturation definitely seems to be a problem endemic to the Blu-Ray. In your best estimate, do you think this might end up being an issue similar to Gladiator or Gangs of New York where it might get a really fast re-release (and possibly an exchange program?) or is something like this too minor? I'm asking because I was all set to buy this day one but it's pretty loving expensive, especially if the picture is subpar.

doctor thodt posted:The CJ Blu-Rays are pricey, but worth every penny. Except for Arahan, which I spent nearly 40 goddamn dollars on only to find out there's a significant authoring error that causes the subtitles to be out of sync with the dialog. gently caress don't tell me poo poo like that. My hand keeps reaching for my wallet under its own power. Along the same line, I think you mentioned the Tartan "I'm a Cyborg..." disc a while back. It's pretty cheap on amazon.co.uk, but I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to watch the special features without a region-free player. Still, it's probably worth it.
