Naïve Old Fart 9,524 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Nice, Breath, you'll enjoy it. My one and only minor gripe, is that neither version of 1941 has the original mono film mix, nor does it have a 5.1 iso score, as the R1 DVD has. That being said, it's cheap at twice the price. ALWAYS, especially, looks gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Alien: Quadrilogy seems like a perfect set with everything one could ever want. Both versions of all 4 films, extras for all and even the old LaserDisc extras? Damn. T1 seems good, T2 seems awesome, Jaws has a perfect documentary, the Indiana Jones bonus disc was a little bit meh. The biggest drawback is the censored Temple of Doom. It's not a big deal, but there's just absolutely no reason for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yup, what I've seen so far of these has really good picture quality, I won't invest into a bluray player for a few more years, I have more important things to waste my cash on. I watch these on my 15.6" laptop screen with an external DVD player that came with it anyway, and PowerDVD's upscaling is pretty good. Also, Bluray cases and covers are usually ugly as hell.

Holko 9,526 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 And there will probably be a fair window where people won't be interested anymore, prices will fall because everyone will want to get rid of their stock, before they rise again when it becomes retro. I'll have plenty of time then to figure out which release fucked up all the colours just because and which hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual price around here is about €8, once they're discounted. I just ordered a bunch of Blu-rays for €5 from Amazon, but that was a special offer when you picked up ten from a rather small selection of titles.

In the extras, there is An appreciation by musician and author Stephen Thrower Since he's a musician, let us know if he mentions Williams. Also, prepare yourself for a very grainy film at times!

Holko 9,526 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 A lavish boxset of Attila Dargay, our most famous and beloved animation director, even known abroad - Vuk, the Little Fox was the BBC's main feature on the Christmas of 1982! It contains brand new restorations of the 4 features he directed (3 of which are among the highest regarded movies in the country, everyone has seen all 3 at least once, if not 200 times, the 4th one is OK, too) in beautiful digipaks with a still on the inside and the original theatrical poster on the cover (exactly how I like it!), also featuring English subtitles and box text. Then a bonus disc collecting all his animated commercials from the '50s and '60s (newly found and transferred) as well as all his shorts (Variations on a Dragon is something you must watch right now!) from 1959 to 1991, as well as a 17-minute interview with his widow and regular DOP. Also included is a short booklet with some interesting bits about his career and a few nice storyboard and raw cell pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I finally caved and bought the blu ray release of Call Me By Your Name. The movie is a bona fide masterpiece (and honorary Merchant Ivory), enough time had passed that it's essentially half off on Amazon, and it includes a commentary track of just Timothee Chalamet and Michael Stuhlbarg, surely worth the price of admission.
