Or if you're really into the hobby, a region free player for around 140.

What is a good region free blu ray player? I bought Sony BDP-S3700 Region Free Blu-Ray Player from 220-electronics.com and it has trouble reading certain discs. Lots of skipping around on anything that isn't in pristine condition.

The Region 1 Sony I bought from BestBuy doesn't have this problem.

Is there a good boxset of Hammer Horror films? I'm not especially versed in them, but if there is a definitive collection I'd like to check t out.

They’ve been pretty good about getting hard to get films due to audio. They managed to get Dudes last year. I guess being a split off of Rhino kinda helps with that too.

Now I know that there is a Blu-Ray of Dudes I have to get. Thanks!

Being region free is both a blessing and a curse.

Speaking of which, any recommendations on a good Region Free Blu-Ray player?

I've definitely heard Nirvana on classic rock stations.

I am further in time from my high school music than my mom was from her's when I was in high school. It's weird getting old.

Sam Fuller at Columbia


I know that's only some of this year's releases, but it's drat impressive. We even got The Beatles in hi-res 5.1.

Any idea if this release is better than the 2012 DVD release?

A PC with MakeMKV.

That or just an external BR disc player. It's weirdly difficult to get a program to play Blu-Rays on a PC though.

Man I forgot how bad those slime blowers and dark jumpsuits look

Eh, the dark jumpsuits are fine, but it's weird how little they were used in the movie.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a blu ray burner?

The 4K package has a remastered Blu-ray as well, and that's where all the extras are.

But still. SD Prince is like taking the Mona Lisa and setting it on fire.

And prepare yourself to face... I don't know. Ninjas, greasers, football players, and people with lights for eyes.

I didn't know this song was about a woman teaching at an all boys school who wanted to take a dip in the student population.

Is the Shout Factory or arrow release of John Carpenter's The Thing a better transfer?

Do y’all love Tom Cruise? Top Gun, War of the Worlds, and Days of Thunder are all headed for 4K in May. I remember War of the Worlds being pretty visually bland. The other two should really benefit from the upgrade.

Weirdest thing about War of the Worlds is the square jawed soldier that Tom Cruise talks to at the end of the movie was my Drill Sergeant.

Anyway, I love introducing my wife to classics she hasn't seen. We watched the 4K transfer of the Thing and she asked "why are they being so mean to that poor dog?"
