Quintus 6,496 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Well, I was a bit annoyed actually because it became available for even less a few days later http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/jaws-includes-digital-ultraviolet-copies-blu-ray-7-16-hut-code-hsale10-1436240
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 My price point us 15 euro per single movie.that's almost 20 bucks, way past my price point.Now like Jaws, ET, you know my favorite films I'll pay what has to be paid. but new films I wait.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 That's my absolute limit, which I only crossed once 17.50 for Jaws.Usually I get them when they are around 10 Euro'sI don't actually own a lot of Blu's yet.
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 If I didn't already own the Jaws dvd as well as seeing it a million times on tv I'd have coughed up the spondoolies and paid full whack for it.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 That's my absolute limit, which I only crossed once 17.50 for Jaws.Usually I get them when they are around 10 Euro'sI don't actually own a lot of Blu's yet.I paid extra for Digibooks. But they have to be films I really really love to pay alot or they must be on sale. I got Patton on digibook for under 10 bucks. Paid 9.99 for Poltergeist on Digibook.I got a bunch of films on blu for 3.99 at Christmas. they all have terrific transfers.One of the films was Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I have no interest in digibooks or fancy smancy covers. Its all about the film.
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 This is my blu-ray impulse purchase sweet spot: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/total-recall-ultimate-rekall-edition-blu-ray-5-00-sainsburys-online-1458864I just can't resist that price.And wow! Blu-ray.com rated its video quality 5/5! http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Total-Recall-Blu-ray/44812/
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I have no interest in digibooks or fancy smancy covers. Its all about the film.no but I do, and I indulge myself from time to time...as Spock allows Sulu to do.
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 This is my blu-ray impulse purchase sweet spot: http://www.hotukdeal...-online-1458864No international shipping, sadly.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I saw on one of the bluray.com forum threads that there will be a bluray release of Star Trek the Next Generations The Best of Both Worlds in the UK with a Us release to come soon. The two episodes shown as one with a featurette, gag reel, etc.since I don't want all the STTNG on blu I'd gladly by this release, I'd also buy a release of just All Good Things.http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?p=7065856#post7065856
Wojo 2,458 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Nice. I think I'd buy that, if the price is nice.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 oh and Stefan dear, 2 weeks to let the Skyfall.I'd love to have the beautiful Amazon UK exclusive steelbook but at 14.99 pounds that's a bit steep.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 My mum pre ordered the Blu ray for me last Xmas. Saw it 6 times in the cinema.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Why do you think it made over a billion!
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Did it? Fuuuuck. Oh well, good on them.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 First Bond movie to cross or even get close to those figures. It definitely has staying power. Its still playing here.
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Think it probably is here too. Mind you it's not been out THAT long has it? I remember when movies would remain in theatres for 6 months, to my frustration.
Jill Sandwich 11,166 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 It's only a few million dollars from passing TDKR worldwide.
filmmusic 3,269 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 First Bond movie to cross or even get close to those figures.It definitely has staying power. Its still playing here.well, haven't seen it and I don't know if I'll do.\I'm a classic films lover, and also can accept Daniel Craig as James bond, so...also, the titles of this film are the most Kitsch film sequence I've ever seen in my life!
Nick1Ø66 8,330 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I thought Skyfall was brilliant. I've always had mixed feelings about Craig as Bond, I enjoyed Casino Royale but wasn't blown away with it, and thought Quantum of Solace was one of the worst Bond films. But they just nailed it with Skyfall. I'm not surprised it's done as well as it has. Well, maybe a little surprised, because Bond films never do these kind of numbers no matter how good they are.Having said that, I only saw it once and am really looking forward to the BD. It's very, very rare I'll see a film more than once in the theatre anymore. The last time was The Hobbit, and that was just to see the 2D and HFR versions. Before then...I can't remember, probably ROTK.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I thought Skyfall was brilliant. I've always had mixed feelings about Craig as Bond, I enjoyed Casino Royale but wasn't blown away with it, and thought Quantum of Solace was one of the worst Bond films. But they just nailed it with Skyfall.Agreed, and the reason why is: Mendes, Deakins, Newman.
Trent B 354 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I have not kept up on this thread in a long time. Has there been any word as to when The Abyss will get a Blu-Ray release?
Nick1Ø66 8,330 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Abyss and True Lies are both apparently planned for this year.
Trent B 354 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Hmmm...okay hope it happens. I'd definitely get both films.
Jay 46,243 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Great film!(Especially the Special Edition... the Theatrical Cut is just OK. It might be the film that is the most different from Theatrical vs Expanded version [i've never seen Kingdom of Heaven: DC])
Nick1Ø66 8,330 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 [i've never seen Kingdom of Heaven: DC])You really, really should.
Jay 46,243 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I agree! I own the blu ray just need to find 4 hours to set aside to watch it
filmmusic 3,269 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Limited edition for Schindler's list.Although I'm not interested in all those posters, cards etc.A plain digibook would be fine.
Jay 46,243 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I betcha Best Buy will have an exclusive Digibook
Nick1Ø66 8,330 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I don't know....there's just something that feels wrong about a fold out poster and cards for that movie.
filmmusic 3,269 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Who the hell wants photo cards?Collectors of such things..
Nick1Ø66 8,330 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Who the hell wants photo cards?Collectors of such things..Yeah, but come on? Schindler's List? This isn't Transformers we're talking about.
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 It's tat designed especially for gullible gimmick whores.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I'm surprised it doesn't come with a novelty star of David to sew on your jacket!
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 You also get some old style 3D glasses with two red eyes instead of the green one so you can wear them and pretend your daughter has a red coat on.Anyway, anyone know what's going on with the Remains of the Day blu-ray?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I don't have a daughter, yet....
Jill Sandwich 11,166 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Saying Schindler's List shouldn't have collectible add-ons is like saying Saving Private Ryan should be in mono because having the best multi-channel audio track known to home cinema is tasteless and disrespectful.
Quintus 6,496 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Lol is that a purposefully terrible analogy or what? Wojo 1
Wycket 36 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Saying Schindler's List shouldn't have collectible add-ons is like saying Saving Private Ryan should be in mono because having the best multi-channel audio track known to home cinema is tasteless and disrespectful.Yeah, what's next? Django Unchained figures getting pulled for exploiting racism.......
Nick1Ø66 8,330 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Saying Schindler's List shouldn't have collectible add-ons is like saying Saving Private Ryan should be in mono because having the best multi-channel audio track known to home cinema is tasteless and disrespectful.I'm sure I've heard less apt analogies in my life, but at the moment I can't recall when. I promise you, the Normandy Landings were in surround sound!Enjoy your strudel. Don't forget the cream this time.
filmmusic 3,269 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I don't remember, has this been brought up?Anyway, looking forward to it as it's one of those movies i grew up with and loved!
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I betcha Best Buy will have an exclusive Digibookno, the digibook is available in England.I'd love to have that Schindler's set, I love all the movie extras, photo cards. I still have a large collection of movie programs. I don't collect it to save untouched, I want to possess it so I can look at them from time to time. I still have the complete set of Jaws 2 bubblegum cards.
