japtor posted:Anyone have any experience with getting discs replaced? I looked on Universal's site and the only option seems to be a "consumer damaged" replacement thing for a few bucks, but nothing about discs that appear to be messed up fresh out of the box. I'm outside Amazon's return period so I can't just swap it there (I should've opened it when I got it in I had to do this with a copy of Heathers that I bought new from a Borders, so I couldn't return it. That was Starz/Anchor Bay. They were really chill and sent me a prepaid envelope to mail it back, and sent me a replacement copy.

I gotta second the Punisher War Zone love. To me, it's a comic book movie done right. Cheesy, over the top, not a dull moment. And then cinematography is legitimately breathtaking. I love it.

The Life Aquatic is the one I really can't wait for a blu-ray of. That was such a visual treat in theaters, with so much tiny stuff to look at, a lot of which was lost on the DVD.

The New and Improved Die-Hard Megathread This is probably a good time to ask: is the Die Hard blu-ray worth a drat? It's got a 3.5 for visuals on blu-ray.com, but they don't have much to say about it beyond 'it's an old movie, so it doesn't look as good as a new one.'

the_Vandal posted:Why is the Alien Anthology so much cheaper on Amazon UK? I just ordered it and it was around $25 there, compared to $50 here in America. I'm not complaining but it seems weird since they're pretty much the same thing. At least I think they're the same. They're the same, except for those big ugly BBFC ratings on the box. But at that price difference, I could care less.

Ho Chi Mint posted:Picked up Dredd on Blu-ray this week. One feature I really appreciate is the Dolby 2.0 mix that is especially made for late night viewing. They turn down the bass and turn up the dialog on the middle speaker so you don't have the problem of the music and effects being deafening then the dialog being so quiet you can't hear it. I wish more movies had this! God drat. That's pretty awesome. Wish I knew of more!

Yay! The Driver apparently looks gorgeous:quote:I think this transfer is going to garner a lot of the usual chatter. There is a lot of crawling grain in the low-light pushed sequences, just as their should be. Once you're in sunlight or bright light, then blacks are deep and contrast is as it should be. But I think a lot of the wags are going to think they're seeing "noise" - they're not, but they'll think they are. I saw the film several times when it was released, and this is pretty much what it looked like. It's a brand new transfer done this year and I thought it looked great, just like a 1978 film should look shot under these conditions and on this budget. The color is fantastic, the sound excellent mono. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/325071-a-sneak-peek-at-the-driver/

Space_Butler posted:This is me, we are broken people. I thought this was just me! I've been crossing my fingers for a while now for a Freddy Got Fingered blu-ray for this very reason. It's okay on DVD, not terrible, but the sound mix on the DVD has always bugged me, and hopefully that would improve on a prospective blu-ray. And then there's all the non-anamorphic classic comedies where it boggles the mind why they aren't on blu-ray yet, or at least an anamorphic DVD: What About Bob?, The Wrong Guy, etc. Luckily My Blue Heaven finally got an anamorphic DVD about a year ago, woulda been nice if it got a blu-ray though.

Anyone know what the deal is with the Friday the 13th box set being OOP? I remember a year or two ago it was like $80, now its like $300. Kicking myself for not grabbing it back then. Any chance of them making more before halloween, or doing another box set, etc.? And why did it even go OOP in the first place?

Steve Yun posted:Nahhhh. It was close but DVD had a slight edge on LD. Laserdisc had 425 vertical lines of resolution, DVD had 480. Laserdisc had "uncomporessed" analog video vs DVD's compressed digital video. While DVD looked slightly better in most cases, the one advantage LD had was that they could have very busy shots like the HBO opening title and maintain quality while DVD would turn to mush. Fast forwarding on a laserdisc also kinda ruled as compared to DVD, as can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RufXzdt6Qhc&t=210s

It's the set with The Crawling Eye and The Final Sacrifice, so I'd grab it before it disappears. Thanks for the heads up! Does anyone know a good way to stay abreast of things that will go OOP? I remember the Death Wish blu-ray was $15 forever and then it suddenly went OOP and now it's like $50. Same happened with Cable Guy. Seems to happen so randomly.
