My first DVD was Taxi Driver along with my PS2.
It was a pretty good disk too with great restoration, documentary and commentary.

More 5 film VS packs? YESS!!

I tried the original erotic one during the last sale and I just can't hold much interest in watching a whole porno movie, as fun as they are and as neat as it is seeing that sleaze in beautiful 1080P.

I'll just stick with the exploitation this time.

edit: Cry Wilderness is a bit of a waste since everyone's probably seen it on the Netflix MST3K.

On LG, I just leave it on standard and warm the temp a bit past neutral. Cinema's too funky.

edit: All processing turned off 'course. Sharpness 10 is native, I think.
I turned local dimming off since bright things were lightening up the letterboxes around them. I couldn't stand that. Maybe it's just cause I bought the base LCD model.
I usually have to jack up the saturation for HDR video games. For some reason they tend to be muted.

Also the stretching part right after. What?


edit: Ah. The foreground stretching has to have been done for the 3D release. How dumb if that made it to the 2D master too. I certainly hope the 4k disks aren't using that.

My prized VHS possession was an ex-rental Aus/NZ copy of Freddy's Dead with a puffy white cover (like a puffy sticker material, but a whole cover) that has a cutaway to art underneath.
I can't find it now, and there's seemingly no evidence online that it ever existed. I might have been imagining it, but looking around on Google Image Search I was reminded of what our Dream Warriors tape looked like.


gently caress poster art. Impact font and orange!

Just that WB shield on tape art is such brain tickling nostalgia to me.

Hmm. impawards.com just has this for the theatrical poster.

The Critterball one has icons for VHS and Beta, so maybe that came later.

Meanwhile, I've never seen this art for the original http://www.impawards.com/1986/critters.html

That's wild.

edit: Critters 1 has a ton of weird international posters.

D-VHS was a good one since he uploaded an early HD digital video demo tape of 1993 NYC. It's like someone time traveled with a camera from 20 years later.

HASPG is great, but the other four on that set don't really have plot sections compelling enough to outweigh the boring sex.
The second 'erotica' set is better about that with it's Dracula and Kung-Fu porno flicks. Baby Rosemary is also a good grimy exploitation movie in it's own right. I'd already seen that on their streaming service. Haven't got to the other two yet.

The exploitation/horror sets are flat-out good.

Pardon my 3D ignorance, but what does it mean that it's encoded side by side? What are people seeing?

The image for each eye is compressed vertically to fit side by side in a frame, so half vertical resolution when the TV stretches the image back out.
