Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm actually very fussy about the aesthetic appeal of my DVD/BD collection. They must have a uniform look!I remember getting cranky when they announced that they were making Indy 4 because I knew it would look out of place in my DVD collection because it wouldn't fit in the 2003 box.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Why?It just wasn't well done. The artwork they chose and there being no booklet. It feels like an empty tin with a disc in it. I guess I'm spoiled by Criterion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Delhaize ... that's about it, I think. Besides the Dutch stores, we also have many German ones, usually big grocery stores like Makro, Lidl, Edi, Aldi, ... More specialized in electronics and software (film & music), we have FNAC (France) and Media Markt (Germany). Saturn (Media Markt) is out of business here. Come to think of it, Vanden Borre is a big Belgian electronics chain store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Bloody hell! Amazon US is selling Gravity for $12.99, 64% off!http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H83EUL2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397578984&sr=8-1If this came with the "no score" option, I'd buy in a heartbeat! (It's still double what I like to pay for blus)~You can also currently get all 8 Harry Potter films for a total of $46.28 on blu, which is $5.79 per film and is lower than the lowest price the 8-disc collection has been (This one, which is currently at $62.99 [$7.87 per film] and has been $46.99 at it's lowest)Anyways, to get them all for $46.28, you have to buy four 2-packs:Films 1 and 2 ($7.99)Films 3 and 4 ($7.99)Films 5 and 6 ($12.96)Films 7 and 8 ($17.34) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have a 3D capable blu-ray player, but not a 3D TV. I doubt I would ever buy one either. I have a feeling that the type of films that I loved in 3D (namely Avatar and Gravity) would only work in a theater experience. Home 3D movie watching just doesn't seem like it would translate, and my reaction would be significantly lessened to the point of not being worth it.The last blu-ray I purchased was the uncut/director's cut of Taken. It was in the $7.99 bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 As I'm sure many know, I'm harsh critic of 3D. My new TV is 3D and came with two pairs of glasses so I have the set-up by default. I'm curious to see how it translates to a home viewing experience, though I tried it with video games once and couldn't seem to get it to work. We'll see how this goes.

nightscape94 965 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Unless it's animated I am unable to listen to overdub. I once lent a copy of Oldboy to a friend and when we were talking about it he mentioned the main actor was a bit distracting because he sounded like Adam West. I had no idea what he was talking about then realized he had listed to the English dub. I told him to go back and watch it again in the native Korean and he enjoyed it a lot more.Surrogate acting usually doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 AlexThe angelic music of Wiliams is almost in contrast with the images. Empire Of The Sun is really an 'environment' film.The scenes of Jim beholding the airplanes. The way they are shot, the gorgeous choral passages of John Williams score!EOTS contains some of Spielberg's most stirring shots. Real goosebump stuff.
