But I haven't seen that in 30+ years. I really should watch Ford's film. The '76 film. It's got a score by little known composer John Williams.

rough cut 1,714 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Don’t ask me why I spend my hard earned money on this… I’m not even a Snyder fan! But I did enjoy his cut of JL, even though I think Josstice League is a better movie (and has a better aspect ratio!), but I can’t say I won’t watch it - and enjoy it. Aa I’m writing this, I’ve actually started watching this. However, I’ll skip MoS as I don’t really have any fond memories of that movie - and is not particularly keen on revisiting it - and go right into BvS. Not that that movie is much better but at least it tried to do some fun things, the introduction of Wonder Woman for example. But, man, is Snyder’s take on ol’ Supes bleak. The way he straight up kills that terrorist in his first scene by flying him through several walls. Not very Superman is it (But then again neither was killing Zod in the previous movie). Batman’s first scene, weirdly crawling around on the ceiling doesn’t fare much better. And, despite being a good actor, Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Lex Luther is more annoying than menacing. So I’ll skip the first one, suffer through the second one to get to the (kind of) good one. Yay me. But it was a good deal if that is any kind of justification, $US 18.78 including shipping, for all three movies on 4K and these weird lenticular postcards (10 of ‘em all in all).

filmmusic 1,836 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I'm waiting for mine from amazon on February 20th! By the way, do you know the bad news? The atmos track in the first film still doesn't include the choir and percussion in certain parts of the score (as the previous blu-ray). So, the only way I'm gonna watch this is with the original mono track, although the music is said to sound glorious in the remix. 4 minutes ago, Andy said: I ask you… what is best in life?

I wanted Blu-Ray for my projector setup which doesn’t support 4K, so I should get the Chronicles on Blu Ray tomorrow. I hate that Arrow stopped doing combo packs and sell the formats separately.

filmmusic 1,836 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Well, I must be crazy. I paid 85 euros at ebay to buy this! (it was the only copy, and it comes from a box - I didn't want to buy the box and own a bunch of movies I am not interested in) I hate it when they do that. There are other 4k movies too that I'm interested in and they come in boxes with other movies, and they are not released on their own! Pfffff!

filmmusic 1,836 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 And another one that I paid individually (70€), that came from a box (not my photo)!

Naïve Old Fart 9,544 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 There's some fantastic stuff there, @filmmusic, but I'll single out VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED as a British classic. Brilliant script (can you believe that the man who wrote this also wrote THE SWARM?!), fine acting, and well creepy kids (who looked that way because platinum blonde wigs were placed on children with brown eyes).
