A24 4,326 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm waiting for that one. I can get it cheap from Amazon US but they don't have free shipping.I threw it in the trolley at our local Morrisons supermarket. £29.99.I take it the Amazon shipping is prohibitively expensive? I'm curious because I use Amazon A LOT. I'll get it for you if you want.It's more expensive when you order in the US, I think. £29.99 is cheaper than amazon UK (£32.00) or play.com (£34.99) but play.com does free shipping. When you add postal costs to the price of Morrisons, it will probably approximate the price of play.com. In the end, I'm hoping that the price will be cheaper when it's available here.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The Searchers looks terrific and the cinematography is great, why on earth do all the directors today reject real color. This film looks beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I feel modern cinematography frequently has either a cold blueish tinted desaturated look, desaturated colors, an intensely warm orangey tint and/or an overexposed look. Technicolor marvels like The Searchers are not trendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Spielberg is largely responsible for the 'look' of Tintin. I don't think the movie even employed a cinematographer, in the traditional sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Where's that photo of John Williams' score to Tin Tin? He obviously gave the same level of shit about the proper spelling of that flick as Joey, who clearly didn't get paid to write a note for the flick.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 we had the Abyss and True Lies discussion the other day now today this:And in other news, this would normally go in The Rumor Mill, but it's easier to just post it here: We've been checking with our industry sources and have confirmed that 20th Century Fox is definitely planning to bring director James Cameron's The Abyss and True Lies to Blu-ray at long last. Sources tell us that the hope is to do a big promotion with the titles sometime next year. Why the wait? Cameron is a pretty busy guy these days, so these things take time. (Hey, when was the last time you tried diving to the deepest point in the ocean?) Nevertheless, rest assured that the two long-awaited films are definitely coming to Blu in the not-too-distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hmm, neither really appeal to me in 1080p, but if the theatrical of The Abyss is in there I might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallenger 481 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Disney's Blu Ray catalog releases for this year and there are some titles that I really want!http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8386I especially can't wait for:Adventures in BabysittingEd WoodArachnophobiaDick TracyPocahontas/Pocahontas 2 (would prefer to just have the first film)Rescuers/Rescuers Down Under (would prefer to just have the 2nd film)The Hand That Rocks The CradleAnd the big one for many here...HOCUS POCUS! And it says "special edition" on the cover, so let's hope it is!http://www.blu-ray.c...-Blu-ray/40523/There are a lot more titles so check them out. Most of them had bare-bones non-anamorphic DVDs, at least in Region 1. So a lot of these will absolutely be great upgrades for people who are fans of the films, even if there are no bonus features added. A great year for Disney animated/live action catalog titles!This gives me hope for near-future blu ray releases of other live-action Disney titles. I'm really keeping an eye out now for Return To Oz... I bet they'll do a release for that film when the new Oz films come out in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleo 63 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's sort of a mixed bag; many shots look great (at least on my small screen), but at times there is very heavy grain and softness. In any case, it must be vastly superior to the DVDs, and for that price... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave her the dvd of Carrie, Poltergiest, and the Poseidon Adventure. I like the Digibook format which is the blu version of Poltergeist I plan to purchase.
