filmmusic 1,837 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have The Wizard Of Oz one, albeit with a different cover.yes, this is the new UK edition, and it has the 3 Blurays. (3D + 2D + extras)I was looking for one edition that had these 3, so as not to buy the big US box that had 2 more DVDs I wasn't interested in.

filmmusic 1,837 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I wish I could buy a box set of just the original 3 Die Hard movies without being forced to buy the later ones with it.I completely agree.Though I bought the 2 steelbooks of the 2 first movies, and I'm hoping for a similar steelbook of the 3rd one (although haven't seen it yet).I would wish too for a boxset with the 4 Supermans without Superman Returns.. It doesn't feel canon to me.I just want the Christopher Reeve collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I don't really understand what you're getting at. I do own a box set that contains Die Hard 1 through 4 - I wish 4 wasn't in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when I say that i don't want Superman Returns, they say to me "just buy the box and sell it", or "it's no difference it's just an extra disc", but really I don't want it mentioned in the box at all!

filmmusic 1,837 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Just purchased these 2 UK releases:The Limited Metropolis steelbook has both the Davis and Moroder versions of the film, and one of the 4000 copies has a solid gold bar.The Limited Arrow Thief release includes both versions of the film (the original with the original colors, and the Criterion one with the teal. I've seen only the latter, and loved it enough to justify a purchase):http://arrowvideodeck.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/thief-tales-of-three-edits.htmlI hope I won't regret it with Metropolis.It's a blind buy, and this will be the 2nd silent I'll be seeing (besides The Gold Rush. Maybe I have seen more Chaplin in my early childhood but I'm not sure)I would buy The US Spielberg box set too, but darn it! The price went up $10 from yesterday!

filmmusic 1,837 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I will buy My Girl on BD when it's available in my countryYou might want to reconsider My Girl, since it suffers from black crush, as 5 more Sony latest Bluray releases:http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/117524http://caps-a-holic.com/hd_vergleiche/multi_comparison.php?disc1=5752&disc2=5753&cap1=54005&cap2=54015&art=full&image=9&hd_multiID=2344&action=1&lossless=#vergleichUnless you don't mind details being erased in pitch black.This is not a gamma issue, I mean if you brighten the image or raise the gamma the problem isn't solved. Detail has been erased due to black crush!Many have sent emails to Sony, which hopefully will look into the matter and at least won't release every Bluray from now on with this serious problem/error.(Unfortunately My Best Friend's wedding that interested me suffers from it to, and I don't think they will replace it)more into the matter and titles affected:http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=257809&highlight=crushBy the way, I'm waiting for reviews too from TT's Remains of the Day.And I also think the UK cover is perhaps the most awful cover I have ever seen.I really hoped and was waiting for TT to go with the original untouched poster: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I was in a nostalgic mood last week, thinking back to the 70s when Saturday or Sunday morning TV included a classic sci fi film. So I ordered the Blu Rays of Fantastic Voyage, The Fly (1958), and Westworld. Looking forward to reliving those glory days over the next few weeks.

A24 4,341 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't know what Marvel has to do with it. I'm not even a Marvel fan but I also don't patronize them just because it's hip to do so. That makes me a Marvel fanatic?! Isn't that a bit simplistic thinking? Nah, Futureworld is like most Hollywood sequels ever made: Inferior to the first movie. It's the Jaws 2, the Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, The Exorcist: The Heretic of the franchise. I take it that you agree with Joey? I'm not surprised, Trekkies like to pat each other on the back.
