Jay 37,266 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The US versions by Disney are completely fine. I own and have watched them all and love them. There's a box set of all of them available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0117V8BX8 But they lack the bonus features of the individual releases, from what I understand.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yeah I've been eyeing that for awhile. Isn't there a complicated issue with dubtitles though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,266 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 On a couple of the films, the subtitles are for the English translation and not a direct translation of the original Japanese audio. Makes no difference to me, honestly. But if you want to import Japanese blu rays instead of buying the American ones, go right ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The people who care about US dubs vs. subs and translations and shit are at a level of anime fandom that I can never ever follow them to. The Disney dubs are fine for someone like me who hates almost all anime that isn't Ghibli. Jon Turner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,266 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I love the English audio tracks on the Disney Blu Rays. They assembled great actors to do the voiceover work. Jon Turner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Is this the worst cover art of a Star Trek home video release ever? The TNG combadge was never even used in any of the films. That's not even one of the screen-used or accurate versions, but the shiny gold and silver versions they sell.

Barnald 365 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Scream Factory have certainly been on a real roll of late. Raising Cain and Lady in White last month; Carrie, The Thing, Child's Play and Exorcist III this; with Dead Ringers, Bubba Ho-Tep, Black Christmas, and The House That Screamed to come before the end of the year. Hard to see most of these releases being topped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I didn't pick up the previous blu, so I'll pick this up. 3 commentary tracks is a rarity these days (commentary tracks in general seem to be a dying breed).

Why the hell would Ru'afo have built a self destruct into the collector ship in the first place? Oh... Because the script needed Picard to be on the collector for the final fight, just like the final fights in the previous two films, rather than just wait for the Enterprise to blow it up. And the blue screen walls inside the collector don't look wrong. The collector fuselage looks mostly closed, not open in a grid shape like the interior.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Can someone set me straight on Star Wars Blu-ray releases? I had the first release of all six movies with Jake Lloyd on the cover and that seemed to be as good as it gets for SW in HD. Long story short, that set was stolen and the sets I'm seeing online have a different cover and the threat of being released by Disney, who removed the Fox logo. I don't want that version.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I prefer the Jake Lloyd cover. It's really the last time Lucas himself released the films on home video. His daughter chose the cover art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
