Goddamn Videodronme! I watched it for the first time a couple months ago and it instantly became one of my favorite films. I was so surprised to learn it was filmed in Canada, we do drat good up here. :)

For people who don't know, Sideshow Collectibles doesn't gently caress around. That case is going to be very durable and expensive. Im not a huge Alien fan (movies are great but i'm a Predator guy), so the slick boxset is nice. :)

It may be the weakest but it's not an abortion of a film, it's at least enjoyable from start to finish. Plus the scene of Ripley walking into the room with all the failed clones is very cool to see.

Was at Wal-mart yesterday to pick up Watchmen directors cut for only $10 loving bucks, what a steal, even if the movie puts me to sleep.

Question though, they had Wizard of Oz for $15. I was wondering if this had everything from the giant box set without all the fluff and giant box?

There is a standalone version with all three discs though.

I really don't understand blu-ray.com's review of TRON:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Tron-Blu-ray/10546/#Review

He goes on and on about just how faithful it is (acting as if it's a bad thing?) and then gives it a 4.0 for quality.
Yes, the movie is incredibly dated. Yes, it looks funny and silly nowadays. If the blu-ray takes that, and makes it look the best it can, is it not doing its job completely? The quality of the effects in the movie should not effect the way in which the video quality is graded.

I'd much rather have this perfect transfer of TRON than some DNR'd Frankenstein's monster of a blu-ray.

Holy hell that looks beautiful. I need a bigger TV than 40", this won't due for such a gorgeous film. LOOK AT HOW CRISP THAT IS!

It was also a particularly thin negative because Willis shot it underexposed so that no one could alter the film and make it brighter later.

Wal-marts super deals are always amazing, picked up Bram Stokers and Highlander for $8 CDN each! I had my iPhone with me and did some quick searching, DVDbeaver had nothing bad to say about Dracula and found a Highlander review saying there is some minor issues but it's a big step up.

Was tempted to get Taxi Driver for $19 but it would just be for collections sake -- the movie didn't vibe well with me.

So do not buy the Highlander Directors Cut if you want to see VHS scenes out of nowhere.

In the scene near the start where Connor dies it cut to a scene with a camera floating above and it made me loving shoot up out of bed with how terrible it looked. I should have really read some more reviews. It was only $8 but ugh, that was terrible.

Also, I thought this movie was a little better but my memory must be hazy cause this movie is a piece of poo poo -- the old guy doing backflips at the start for no loving reason, Kurgan's first fight in modern times is the cheesiest poo poo and the Queen soundtrack is terrible (Princes of the Universe owns though).

Legend rules so hard just based on design alone. It's essentially a Legend of Zelda movie with Satan instead of Ganon.

Also it's one of the best devil designs put to film. The horns are just perfect!

Just wish to say that Rango on Blu-Ray loving kicks rear end. My God, the attention to detail in this film is staggering. I'm becoming convinced that it's a masterpiece.

Oh, and just FYI: Play.com are having a two for £15 sale on Blu-Rays, and if you do a little digging there are some great bargains. I actually have to force myself not to read lest my lack of funds fractures my fragile sanity: http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/0-/Search.html?searchtype=BLU&searchsource=2&searchstring=2bl3415

That's loving stupid, sorry.

Blurays fly off shelves and people are buying them up like crazy. It's not a fad like laser disc where the average person didn't even know what the gently caress it was. Blu is in peoples minds every day via ads, store promotions and more. HDTV's are being adopted like mad and are the only new tvs one can buy. They usually come with a free blu player too.

Anyways, any word on the quality of the new Conan blu?

It does DVD upscaling and is a option in the menu, no need to buy a remote since the controller does everything you need it to do and is actually easier than the controller. Cinavia is only a problem if you pirate movies. Everything else is valid of course.

Load times are fine for me though, I have no issue personally. But I rather have this and have the long time support. I know with my DVD players I went through a lot over the years for better features not supported in a previous model. Wouldn't someone in the long run save more?

Cinavia is probably one of the strongest things to block piracy, there really is no way around it. It sucks for legit use of streaming but if you google Cinavia there is a lot of pissed off pirates.

Same, A3 was alright and I couldn't care less about any of the characters from 2, it's all about the monsters. A3 just dragged on. I honestly think Resurrection is better, a little cheesy in the end with Ripley consoling the hybrid but it's a decent entry into the series.

Also, the book set rocks and is something every blu owner should have.
