Neo_Reloaded posted:So much raging... That's how they filmed the show, it's either a stylistic choice because everything on the show is so ramshackle, or they just don't have the budget for new cameras and an HD workflow. It has nothing to do with Blu-ray or Fox's home video department. Yeah. I like how many people in here say they will buy older SD shows on Bluray so they can have less discs and then bitch / will bitch about this. If there are fewer discs, I will be all about the Bluray so I don't have to switch discs as often.

Captain Charisma posted:Precisely. When I say "Hey wouldn't it be cool to say, have a full season of The Simpsons on a disc?" I don't mean "Gee, I hope they just throw the season onto a couple of discs and then charge regular Blu-Ray prices!!!!" I mean that I hope they condense it into one disc and a lower price. This is just the worst of both worlds. I don't see how a lowered price is too reasonable. It is from a consumers '1 disc costs less than 5 discs' but for the company they likely see it as a benefit to the consumer to have on one disc. When I made my first comment I didn't know the price was +$10 over the DVD, so my comments don't really stand up with that knowledge. I would gladly pay the same price as the DVDs to get the seasons on one disc if possible.

Sporadic posted:If they can sell a movie burned on a dual layer disc for $20-25, it isn't that crazy to expect a season of a TV show shot in SD to cost the same...all on one disc. I gotcha. I stand in full agreement. In other news, I got my Moon bluray today, can't wait to watch it. The theater I saw it in had it misframed and with lovely sound.

Agreed posted:Same here, really glad they're following the "get that poo poo into retailers ASAP" model rather than sitting on it. I heard such good things about it, but the nearest theater is an hour away. gently caress the middle of nowhere. A few of my friends make fun of me for buying Disney movies. I partially explain it off as 'when I have kids I will want to have these, and with the Disney Vault it is better to just suck it up and get them now than wait', but I am also a sucker for animation in HD and Disney has been doing their restores really drat well.

I hope the trivia track is a bit less intrusive than on Shaun of the Dead. That crap covers like 1/4 of the screen with a giant black box. Hopefully these are not on a solid background like that, completely unnecessary.

Nate RFB posted:I used to love Deep Discount, but yeah they're pretty lovely these days. Maybe they always were and I just got lucky before. Not only do they take forever to ship, but the packaging they use is awful and has led to at least 2 of my purchases to be damaged in transit. Their prices aren't even all that much better than what Amazon offers these days. I loved them back in 2003 or so. Shipping always only took a few days to get to me. And then all of a sudden one day it changed and started taking so long that I have been avoiding them unless absolutely necessary for years. Customer service sucks, processing time to get a shipment out to you sucks, packaging sucks. Rarely is it worth saving a few bucks to me to order through them nowadays.

ApexAftermath posted:I haven't checked but if it's off the MSRP then I bet they are still like 25-30 dollars after discount. You could get them for that price at best buy and not have to wait for something to ship. I hate these "deals that really aren't deals". Barnes and Nobles is also an offender of this. It comes out to $20. So it is still a decent price, but not so enticing that I have to order it now when I should probably hold on to that $20.

Loving these Criterion sales. Been allocating $100 to each one, which isn't that much setting aside some money each month. I have taken a few blind shots (Walkabout, For All Mankind, Seven Samurai, Sanjuro/Yojimbo) and picking up the ones I have seen and know I want to own. Next time I should be up to pretty much blind buying, which with Criterion is pretty much a guaranteed fun experience.

Fag Boy Jim posted:yeah. You probably won't like all of them (Anderson is one of those directors where even people who love him usually dislike one of his films, though which one that is varies a ton), but they're all worth seeing. I like them all pretty equally. Oddly Bottle Rocket was my favorite for years, and is still up there (behind The Life Aquatic) solely because I like the character interaction in it so much. Definitely not the best directed, missing a lot of what makes Wes Anderson films so fun to watch, doesn't have an incredible soundtrack like the rest, but what is there I love. Darjeeling is probably my least favorite, but I still love it.

I have only seen the directors cut of 3 and went in knowing it was no Alien / Aliens and don't really mind it. I don't want to watch it often, but certainly don't hate it. Also I like the prison setting. Edit: errr Extended. The longer version, whatever it is is called. Asnorban fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Nov 30, 2011 |

Sir Lemming posted:Amazon Goldbox deal right now is The Sound of Music 45th Anniversary boxed set for a ridiculous $25. I just got this less than a week ago for someone's birthday at the normal $60, so this stings a bit even though the timing simply wouldn't have worked. But it's a pretty sweet set. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I know the video and audio quality are both supposed to be phenomenal. My wife has planned a few days in Salzburg for our European vacation because of this movie. Good time for this to go on sale. Thanks!

I feel like I've never once seen the film anywhere close to what it was meant to be seen like. I rented it once, popped it in, popped it back out and returned it. Some day I will see this.

I ordered that same model a few weeks ago after my PS3 broke. My PS3 never had any issues playing 1080p on my TV, this model would not output at 1080p to the same TV. If you are on a Samsung TV (mine is maybe 5 years old) you may want to look at a different model.

Asked my wife and she went with Batman and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, with the Shining in close second. I think it would have to be those 3. She said Easy Rider 4th but that's kind of a small role and I think even As Good As It Gets would come up before that in most peoples minds.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Are there 2 different versions of Chappie on Blu-Ray or something? I rented it from Redbox earlier and it was just a barebones disc, with just the movie, languages, scene selection and previews on the main menu, but on Blu-Ray.com, a bunch of extras are listed. A lot of movies have rental versions with special features removed. I assume that is the case here (or they are on a second disc.)
