Hello, new thread!

So the Patrick Stewart/David Tennant Hamlet is out tomorrow. Has anyone seen it? I'm assuming it's great.

That was on PBS at like 3 in the morning the other night and I was too drunk to enjoy it. From what I saw it looked awesome.

I got my new Battlestar Galactica packaging yesterday. If any of you guys are stuck with the old crappy limited edition boxes I strongly recommend sending in for the new stuff. It fits on the shelf a lot nicer now.

How do you go about this?

I sent Universal an inquiry about it, and they sent me an email. You print that out, write out some info on it, then send that with the top flap of the Season 1 blu-ray to some PO Box. I got mine about three weeks later.

I'm pretty sure this link is what I used to contact them.

Does anyone here have the BSG set on blu-ray? Would you say it was worth the upgrade from the dvds? I already own the entire series on dvd.

This was a couple days ago, but as someone who has all the DVDs as well as the blurays, I can respond with a resounding "gently caress yes." The place you'll most see a difference is in the space shots; my god some of them are so majestic and beautiful.

What happened to the cool Cylon head boxset?

While it looked cool on the exterior, the packaging was actually really terrible and it was hard to get the discs out. The new packaging is way better, and since they sent it to me for free, I get to keep my Centurion action figure. :)

I want to watch Fantasia so bad but I have to wait for my old friend from preschool to be available. We watched the movie almost every day for something like 2 years so there's no way I watch it without him.

I do alpha, but I've got around 150 DVDs/blu-rays, so organizing them by genre would probably look kind of dumb.

DVDBeaver gave the Peeping Tom Blu the negative review it deserved. StudioCanal's chronic laziness means that we'll probably get the same transfer.

Since the PS3 got Netflix on the system itself, the HD's been working like a dream for me. There aren't any more dips in quality. I only have a 32" 720p TV but it looks fantastic.

I may be wrong about this, but I think Once Upon a Time in America suffered a dip in quality because they put it on one disc. If they can make it look and sound better, I wouldn't really mind the LOTR extended editions being split up.

It's basically in Kino's hands and I have no doubt they're as anxious to get it done as we are, especially because it and Mirror have atrocious DVD treatments.

I say this with little knowledge of the technology itself, but when I had an OPPO (rest in peace, friend), there was a significant improvement in DVD upconversion in relation to a PS3 like I have now. I'm not sure what made it look nicer but there was something going on in that machine.
