Space_Butler posted:They're also reporting that Warner will be releasing some animation catalog titles, including Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase, and Aloha Scooby Doo. WB has been pretty much about new releases for animation, so this is a welcome change if they're going to dip into their animation library. Perhaps a release of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm may be in the cards down the line. Return of the Joker and Mask of the Phantasm would be amazing. I wonder what kind of HD sources exist for those.

Here's a positive review of the new Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker disc: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Batman-Beyond-Return-of-the-Joker-Blu-ray/20237/#Review Hopefully this is good news for those of us excited about the Mask of the Phantasm disc that was announced.

Neo_Reloaded posted:I think he misspoke - I've seen no announcement for Mask of the Phantasm (and I just did a search at Google and the regular Blu-ray places to see if I'd missed it). Oops, yeah. I didn't misspeak but I must have misremembered (or imagined) a really old article from back when Return of the Joker was announced but had no release date. I thought I remembered them saying that Phantasm was announced as well but also had no release date, but I can't find it anywhere now.

There's a really weird disconnect in Resurrection between the dialog and the way it's delivered. Say what you will about Joss Whedon's writing style (I myself am indifferent), I feel like it's pretty clearly delivered "wrong" in Resurrection.

Geekboy posted:They haven't released all of these separately yet though, so it comes down to your preferences really. I just don't see the point in buying something on BR if there aren't any special features. There are always exceptions, but that's a general rule for me. If you have a Target near you they have individual releases of all three of these for like $15.

Space_Butler posted:Fox has announced It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 6 for a blu-ray release on September 13. Despite (from what little info has actually gotten out) the disappointing sales of The League and Sunny Season 5 blu-rays, Fox has nonetheless decided to just keep going releasing those series on blu. Good on them, it's about time Fox stopped abandoning tv shows on blu-ray. Always Sunny BDs would probably sell better if there was any compelling reason whatsoever to have them on BD over the DVDs that drop below $20 within weeks of release..

Any word on the new Echo Bridge Dead Man disc? I can't find any reviews anywhere, but at $7.99 I might buy it anyway. Yes, I realize the fact that I even mentioned Echo Bridge means I should probably steer clear, but I really like the movie.

If anybody has problems with their copy of X-Men First Class skipping or freezing on a PS3, disable the internet connection and go into BD Data and delete the 3+ megabyte file the disc installs there. I'm not sure what the problem is but the disc works fine after that.

Yup, these. Gamera 3 was supposed to come out yesterday but none of the stores around me have heard anything about it. On the one hand, I'm not surprised that Best Buy didn't get in a niche monster movie, but on the other hand I remember them having the Gamera 1 and 2 blu-ray box set on release day.

Not that I disagree, but isn't DVDBeaver notorious for dicking around with their screenshots?

I forgot to add the keychain. Can I add it to an existing order without cancelling and re-ordering? I probably won't use it but I feel bad for not getting it since it's free. Unless they charge me shipping or whatever, then gently caress it.

Yeah if you're still (un)lucky enough to have a Blockbuster around, check and see if they have Zodiac. It'll come in a lovely Blockbuster amaray case but whatever. If they don't have one for sale, check and see what the used price is and just tell them you lost it if it's reasonable.

CPL593H posted:I used to think like this, but then I realized buying used videos is perfectly fine and paying a considerable amount more for a new one is a huge waste of money. I've gotten some crazy rear end deals by buying used. Right here on SA I got four seasons of Futurama for like 30 bucks. And the Man Who Fell To Earth Criterion DVD for eight dollars. This is compounded for blu-rays by the fact that they don't scratch. I've cleaned up on Blockbuster's 4-for-$20 or whatever sales, and then I just order blu-ray cases if I'm that worried about the crummy ones Blockbuster gives you.

friendo55 posted:Just quickly skimmed the initial posts here regarding the Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection and didn't see this listed. There's a UK 'mantlepiece' Limited Edition Set of this release that is 14 films, not 15 (North By Northwest is only in the US release). With the VAT dropping off it comes to $135 CAD including shipping - much cheaper than the US or Canadian release. Thanks for posting this. It looks cool, and it might be a really good buy for someone like me who already has the North by Northwest digibook.

I've actually been a little nervous about all these sudden boxed sets, because in the past these catalog releases have been trickling out fairly slowly. We get, say, a few good Bond movies at a time at first, and then all of a sudden they poo poo them all out in one boxed set, which doesn't exactly make me feel confident in the amount of time they've spent on restoration.

Professor Clumsy posted:I've been going through the Universal Monsters blu ray box set and it is just fantastic. The restoration of Dracula is just astounding, especially the work they did on the soundtrack. I never noticed before how some scenes in that film actually are filled with interesting sound design instead of this all-consuming hiss. Plus, that tantalising 3-D restoration of Creature From the Black Lagoon is making me wish I had a 3-D TV. I'm getting so loving excited for this, but mine's coming from Amazon.co.uk so it'll probably be forever before I get it. The screenshots I've seen from all of the movies have been amazing so far.
