This post makes me very happy in my bathing suit area. Darjeeling Ltd wasn't my favorite Wes Anderson but I haven't seen it since the theater so I need to give it another shot.

Alright well I set it up if anyone's interested:

Not sure where else to ask this question... I bought Edge of Darkness, put it in my dinosaur Sony BDP-S300 player and it wouldn't load the movie. Not a big deal, I have a PS3 Slim as well, and it instantly loaded on that console. However, the movie, and pretty much any Blu-ray I've watched using the PS3 is impossibly bright and artificial looking vs. my regular Blu-ray player. Are there any changes I should make to my console so that Bu-rays will look natural and film-like like it does on the standalone player? Both the standalone player and the PS3 are connected using HDMI. Any help would be appreciated.

This movie was amazing, but they could have done the first 35 minutes a little better. It just moved a little slow.

I'm thinking of picking up Saving Private Ryan soon, have they fixed the sound issues and is there any way to identify the fixed copies?

The fixed copies have a yellow upc, like so:

Can somebody explain to me why The White Ribbon (out this coming Tuesday) is 35 loving dollars on Amazon? I mean, I know Sony Pictures Classics stuff usually commands a high price, but I've never seen one quite this high, especially just before the release.

It sucks because this is a title I definitely want to have in my hands day 1, and the cheapest option right now is looking like $30 at Best Buy

On that note: I'm kind of tempted to switch up to Blu-ray for Firefly and Serenity (I have both on DVD). To those who have it: is the Firefly set worth the upgrade? Obviously it'll look nicer than up-converted DVD, but is it enough to justify dropping $50?

doctor thodt posted:

If this happens you can blame all the assholes on various HD forums ordering tens of copies each.

But B&N still have the best price on Twilight Zone Season 1.

$41.99 after 30% off coupon P4A4N7P, which is good through 11/29

Thanks for the info, guys. As it turns out, I was watching Shoshanna running from Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, and noticed that anything above zero sharpness was giving her annoyingly obvious edge enhancement (when her dark silhouette was against the bright sky)

Bravia EX400 46"

I thought everything looked great at 15/30 sharpness for the first few minutes (OMG you can see every pore in everyone's skin!) but after a while I started noticing halos in high contrast shots and now I'm concluding that anything above 0 is artificially added sharpening.

edit: What's Up, Doc? is only $10 on Amazon. Please buy it.

Is anyone still waiting for their Battle Royale blu-ray? This is getting ridiculous, over at the blu-ray.com forums it seems like most people in the US have already received theirs. I'm trying to decide if I should just ask Amazon for a refund at this point, which will really be a bitter pill since the set is sold out everywhere and the Special Edition coming out in a month or two is region B so if I want the region free version I'm going to have to get it off ebay for 3x the price.

And I preordered it in October.

vvvvv Yeah I meant October but somehow wrote August. Still, its been way too long.

The Hastings near me is having a 40% off used blu rays deal AND they are buy 1, get 1 for $1. Pretty unbelievable. I picked up A Bug's Life, Ratatouille, Ponyo, Toy Story 3, Piranha 3D, and The Last Exorcism for about $45.

What's the rationale behind this?

Bambi posted:

I am loath to get rid of them, but I've never really traveled and decided I would love to just hit the road for a few months.




I know this is ultimately what it might have to come down to, but the prospect of shipping out hundreds of different packages is so daunting. I'm going to lose a ton of money on shipping supplies alone, and listing all those auctions on ebay/keeping track of them/etc is such a pain in the rear end. For a few days just let me have my fantasy that somebody will come along and drop 20 grand in my lap.

Bambi posted:

They do....but I think they also have an "or best offer" function for buy-it-now listings too. Hmm, thanks for reminding me of that!


The proceeds from the Blu-Rays would be the funding for my travels, though

I only got a BD drive a few weeks ago, but it seemed like there were a whole bunch of deals for the Tron sets at a lot of retailers, along with Disney coupons for another $5 off or so on top of that.

LesterGroans posted:

So, I got my first Blu-ray player a couple weeks ago and will actually be getting a TV worthy of watching them on soon.

My first haul of BDs has been pretty great so far. I got a 3-pack with A History of Violence, Eastern Promises and No Country for Old Men for less than $20; a 3-pack of Bond movies for less than $20; the Back to the Future Trilogy for $15; True Grit for $20; The A-Team, The Losers, and Inception for around $10 a piece. I also plan on picking up Breaking Bad Season 3, Inglourious Basterds and Hero before I finish my expensive little spree.

I'm really psyched to explore the possibilities of Blue-ray though.

Aren't those fullscreen? I'd much rather watch the films with lovely changes in widescreen than that (up to a point).

I'm kind of curious about the Star Trek TOS blu-rays. Are there any changes made that made fans grumble, or are all the changes good ones?

This is wrong. Wall-E was an awful, preachy miss for Pixar.
