Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Not cheap!No, not quite, but it is the lowest the price has ever been. Does make me wonder, though, if it's a sign that a cheaper repackaged set may be on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 There already is. It came out before that set and has been on sale for $25 before.But it doesn't have the sixth disc of bonus material. That's why I've been holding out for this one. Seeing as this is still double the price that one was, though, I may keep holding out for a better deal.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Batman Begins needs a remaster. Was never impressed by its diffuse, low bitrate look on the existing BD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It was shot in the early 2000's. Camera's weren't as sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Nothing wrong with the way it was shot, but HD mastering for home video hadn't yet matured in 2005. I think they just ported over the antiquated HD-DVD master on to the BD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Who is interested in this?I sure as hell am ! I've been waiting for ages for the second flick to appear on blu. I already have the first but not 4K, I don't imagine it will worth upgrading the first one, but the second film is one of those great guilty pleasure sequels, where you can see every cast member having fun. I can't believe the flak this film gets sometimes, it's almost as good as the first. Oh and will we be getting the Edelman score finally this year? Rumours say we finally will...

fommes 153 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Thanks anyway, Fommes. I'll investigate tout suite.http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=93184&forumID=1&archive=0http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=92817&forumID=1&archive=0The only essential difference between the Varese CD and the new Sony remaster is the upgraded transfer. Same tracks except for the "Exit Music" that plays after the End Title. To my knowledge, Varese didn't have access to the earliest-generation music stems the audio team at Sony does. So, except for the Exit Music, it is essentially the same program. As stated above the CD re-issue of LoA from Varese (VSD-5263) has the full Exit Music, and the Entr'Acte is the Overture. It might even be the same performance? It's not on the Tadlow for that very reason.So it's a funny sort of accounting that claims they're 'previously unreleased'.And 'Lost in the Desert' (not present) is a different piece entirely than 'The Rescue of Gasim', which is the correct title. Also the 'End Credits' are in the Exit Music (called 'Playoff Music'), not the End Title.So, if we assume the compiler making these claims only knows of the old original LP (as it would appear) one wonders if they also know at all about Tadlow and Silva Screen, let alone the Varese OST. And from THAT logic we assume that somebody in the company hasn't been properly informed about tie-ins. So much potential untapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallenger 483 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 There is a Universal Studios Steven Spielberg Blu Collection coming out that features some titles never before on Blu!http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Steven-Spielberg-Directors-Collection-Blu-ray/107538/DuelSugarland ExpressJaws1941E.T.AlwaysJurassic ParkThe Lost WorldI REALLY hope the new titles will get individual releases right away, if at all. The only one I really want from the new titles is DUEL, for sure.This forum topic shows the box art and special features. Seems to be the same bonus features ported over from the DVD releases.

Jay 37,368 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Have you seen any of this summer's films? I've only seen Godzilla. Though I'd love to see X-Men and Edge of Tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yes. I loved X men, great film in most every way. Edge of Tomorrow is often brilliant, time will tell if it achieves that same status as Groundhog Day, but I think it is far superior. Maleficent was a wonderful "surprise". Not that I didn't think it could be good but that I would enjoy it at the level I did. We'll see Transformers this weekend but it's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes that I anticipate the most.I also consider Winter Soldier a summer film and it's fantastic in it's own rights. Brilliant use of spy and superhero thrills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yea, I want to see Maleficent and Captain America 2 eventually as well. Dawn of the POTA I only want to see cause Giacchino scored it, wasn't a fan of Rise of the POTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Now this is something I would want to watch, to finally hear Horner's masterpiece in context.Then again watching it could taint my experience of listening to the score for all time.
