BitterAvatar posted:Oh god what's wrong with Gladiator? I didn't even realize it had issues. The regular cut and extended cut scenes come from different masters, and the extended cut scenes are of a noticably different, better quality. The regular cut scenes are full of DNR and other modifications, which makes it look waxy and odd at times. Granted, I probably wouldn't have noticed this unless the fine folks at AVSForums sperged out about it, but here we are...

It contains movie cash for Inception...wish I had waited to buy my tickets for that, but it'll undoubtedly be a movie that warrants repeat viewings anyway. As it's the one Nolan movie that I do not own, nor seen, I pre-ordered it blind. Should be in the mail today. Hope I dig it! And that reminds me, I need to upgrade my copy of Memento...is the blu worth it?

Sporadic posted:Iron Man 2 just dropped to $17.99 on Amazon. Good for the people who got hosed over on the WalMart deal. Worth noting that it's missing all the extra features on disc 2 of the 3 disc set. (Disc 3 is a DVD/Digital Copy). Disc 2 contains: quote:Ultimate Iron Man: The Making of Iron Man 2 (HD) Personally, I really want to see the making of doc, so I'm sticking with the 3-disc version.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to miss out on this due to the extremely print. They might even all be claimed already, and everyone pre-ordering now is going to be SOL WOOOO! SO glad that I made the gutsy move of pre-ordering early.

Bambi posted:The audio/video are pretty much reference-grade and there's a nice collection of extras, including a fairly interesting commentary track and a meaty, 40-minute making-of in full 1080p. It's really just a question of whether you like the movie enough to buy it. A friend rented the DVD, and it seemed fun enough (I thought the end was a bit anti-climatic), but otherwise I really enjoyed it. The real bummer was how sort of smeary it was blown up onto an HDTV, being a particularly dark film.

NO SLIP=NO SALE" and/or "LOOKS SWEET, BUT $20 IS TOO HIGH, I'LL WAIT TIL BLACK FRIDAY  ", because, as we all know, EVERY TITLE EVER goes on sale on Black Friday. Ugh.

Colonel Whitey posted:How exactly does the price matching work with Amazon? Do they just automatically lower their prices to match Best Buy et al., or do you have to do something like enter a code or scan an ad to get the price? Last year, Amazon just seemingly had the EXACT prices that say, Best Buy, Target, etc. did. I'm pretty sure they have a team that scours the Black Friday deal sites to match or beat them.

Besides, as we all know, if it doesn't come with a slipcover, there's no reason to buy it. And I'm not gonna pay more than $17. And it better be on sale on Black Friday. Digibooks suck. ...did I hit all of the remaining frustrating blu-ray owner stereotypes?

I'm not crapping on those who get great deals on blu-rays, because I attempt to be as thrifty as possible with this wasteful hobby of mine. But there are some dudes who like, the DAY a title is released, post "I SURE HOPE SOMEONE HAS IT FOR <$15 DAY ONE." When the MSRP is like, $35, and it wasn't a huge movie. It's just silly.

Bambi posted:Target will have the Inception combo pack for $17.99 on release week ($24.99 at Amazon and Best Buy). Best Buy's exclusive version is $29.99 and contains "Inception: The Shooting Script" (described as "the director's initial handwritten notes of the Inception plot"). Hardly sounds worth an extra $12, but there you have it. Even money says that Amazon matches that. I love when retailers battle over prices.

Butthole Prince posted:Why do Blu-Ray discs not allow me to 'resume' as I could with DVDs? This is due to the lovely java controls that some, but NOT ALL, discs use. Basically, there isn't a set, uniform way to master a Blu-Ray disc, so different companies use different things for different discs. It's kinda ridiculous.
