Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Got the blu-ray of War Horse. It looks pretty soft but it was obviously intended. The sound is the best part by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Isn't the extended version pan & scan only? Or is that just the fault of the German DVD release? I'm pretty sure that was non-anamorphic, too.Do Non-anamorphic Blu-rays exist??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that was non-anamorphic, too.Do Non-anamorphic Blu-rays exist??? Technically, all Blu-rays are non-anamorphic, as they natively come in 16:9 resolutions, unlike DVDs, which had 4:3 formats and could produce 16:9 either by letterboxing (i.e. loss of resolution) or horizontal stretching of the 4:3 image (=anamorphic distortion).And as you can see, I was talking about the DVD.

Yes, that's right, I like a little death, betrayal, sex and intrigue in my TV shows. My only hope is that GOT is not about kiddie stuff such as dragons, magic wands and explosions.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 The only fantasy aspects of GoT are the locales and the wildlife. Everything else about it is refreshingly real and authentic. That's why I watch it - I normally can't STAND tv fantasy, and even most movie stuff.BloodBoal, relax - Alex will be the consummate GoT convert once he's viewed the penultimate episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallenger 483 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Don't think anyone mentioned this, but on the upcoming release of Father of the Bride/Father of the Bride Part 2 BluRay, it lists Alan Silvestri's "Original Score Soundtrack" in the bonus features for just the first film. I wonder if it means an album-like presentation or an actual isolated score? Interesting.http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8573 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Didn't even realise Ridley did a director's cut for Alien. Is it better than the theatrical? I've not seen the first movie in years, I want to maximise the enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ridley Scott says the theatrical cut is the true DC. I never bothered to watch the so-called DC (which was 'commissioned' by Fox for commercial reasons, if I recall and understand correctly). It's a slightly tighter cut and includes the Dallas cocoon scene (which I don't care for). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 BTW, the cover of that box ... can we say it spoils it a little for people who are not familiar with the Alien franchise? Why show the monster? It takes away some of the mystery and thus some of the suspense.I know what people are thinking, who's not familiar with the Alien franchise? Even then, the first movie is very sparse with showing the monster. Personally, I would respect that principle.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
