What's the direct link to the Black Friday UHD deals at Best Buy? For some reason I'm not seeing any movies on their Black Friday Ad page.

Egbert Souse posted:If I'm watching something, usually the boxy one next to the wall is on since it's out of the viewing angle and softer. I would recommend getting a backlight strip. The impulse purchase I made after watching Hold The Dark enhanced by reflections of myself and a couch lamp turned out to be the best impulse purchase I ever made. ringu0 fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jan 9, 2019 |

What are some of the most visually impressive 4k discs out there right now? I was super-impressed with Alien.

oneforthevine posted:Ain’t gonna happen. The only unreleased (in North America) Tarkovsky they have the rights to is The Mirror. A box set with five of his seven features doesn’t make any sense. I guess they don't have The Sacrifice and Nostalgia. A blu-ray of the newly scanned and restored The Mirror would be what I really want...

Cemetry Gator posted:The Sacrifice is available on Kino, and it looks stunning. UK got this, among other interesting boxsets: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sculpting-Time-Tarkovsky-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B074ZXQ226/ But they have to import Criterion editions from us, so that evens things out somewhat. Also people in this very thread constantly double- and triple-dip when a movie they like gets another release. Just to clarify, I'm not complaining or trying to change anyone's mind about anything, it's just that Mirror in better quality was always my dream. I have it on DVD, and I would definitely buy a Criterion edition. ringu0 fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Aug 13, 2020 |

Lizard Combatant posted:So I just scanned a 8mm reel of mystery film and struck gold (well, bronze maybe), it's 8 minutes of atrociously dubbed kungfu from the 70s (based on the cars) that I'm not sure if it was taken from a real film or if it's some Chinese stunt guy's demo. Either way it's awesome and I want to try and get more information. Can any of you fine folks point me towards a thread here or some other pocket of the internet that could help?

Boywhiz88 posted:This will be interesting. The film will look great but the effects are already kinda oof in 1080P. I’d be interested in knowing if there was any tweaking or remastering, but well... WETA had their hands full. People upthread are considering Starship Troopers in 4K, and those effects were oof twenty years ago. It will be fine.

Xenomrph posted:I don’t like slipcases but the Steelbook/slipcase combo for Ghost in the Shell 4K is pretty slick. It’s made of a hard plastic instead of regular slipcase cardboard or whatever, and parts of it are transparent so the steelbook’s artwork lines up with slipcase art creating a new image. It’s a pretty cool effect. by the way if someone wants to check it out, it goes for a tenner at BestBuy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ghost-...p?skuId=6422207 I have the other edition, and it's fantastic
