Brundlefly 2,401 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Finally, the last Steven Spielberg film that hasn't got a Blu-Ray release yet in Germany will get one in November! Funny enough, that's Munich!

Koray Savas 2,257 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 I don’t know where the regular ol’ blu-ray thread went and we no longer have the pinned thread of frequently used threads... SO I’ll just post this here: Criterion’s May titles have been announced. @Alexcremers @Marian Schedenig
FBC Director 10,566 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 I have the old MGM blu of Blue Velvet anyway.
FBC Director 10,566 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 I have some multi-region players.
Marian Schedenig 11,152 Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 10 hours ago, Koray Savas said: Criterion’s May titles have been announced. Ah, the original version of Funny Games. I've seen it once on TV, and found it very good, but like Requiem for a Dream it's one of those few cases where I'm not sure if I can ever bring myself to watch it again. I'd be more interested in the Lynch. But I have to say I'm not really fond of Criterion these days, because of the region locking. Back in the DVD era, I rarely picked up their releases because they're usually expensive here, but the region locking wasn't an issue. With Blu-ray though, I regret the few region locked discs I have in my collection, because my first player (which was unlocked) stopped working years ago, and shortly after I got that they successfully put a stop to unlocked players (except for hardware hack upgrades, which probably cause issues when you need a firmware upgrade).

Xander Harris 8,889 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 ***DRACULA (1979) (Collector’s Edition) Update*** Throughout history, Dracula has filled the hearts of men with fear and the hearts of women with desire. In this stylish production of Bram Stoker’s classic gothic horror tale, Frank Langella reprises his electrifying, award-winning stage performance as the bloodthirsty Count Dracula as he goes in search of his ultimate bride. Meanwhile, the renowned and relentless vampire hunter, Professor Van Helsing (Sir Laurence Olivier), seeks to end the dark prince’s reign of terror over the citizens of Transylvania. Directed by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever), featuring an all-star cast and a superbly atmospheric score by the great John Williams, DRACULA (1979) is an unforgettable adaption of one of the most enduring horror legends of all time. Details we have on our release at the moment are as follows: • National street date for North America (Region A) is November 26th. • As announced earlier, this is being presented as a 2-Disc Blu-ray Collector’s Edition and will come guaranteed with a slipcover in its first three months of release. • Includes a new HD transfer of the theatrical version as seen in theaters in 1979 with full color as well as the alternate director-approved version of the film created in 1991 for home video with a muted color palette. • The newly commissioned artwork you see pictured comes to us from artist Mark Maddox (Dracula: Prince of Darkness). This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will feature the original theatrical artwork. • New and existing extras will be announced on a later date. Pre-order now directly from us @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/product/dracula-collector-s-edition?product_id=7228 The first 500 orders from our site will receive an exclusive limited-edition 18” x 24” rolled poster of the exclusive new illustration.

Holko 11,851 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 That cover is absolutely horrendous. This film has nothing to do with green, barely has any green in it even where it should, who the hell comes up with this stuff and who the hell approves it?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,604 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 You don't wonder why nowadays studio's or labels completely disregard original poster art of older films in favour of rather horrid new photoshopped ones?
FBC Director 10,566 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Probably the in-house graphic designers demanding work to do to justify their jobs.

I can see not using the original because on all 20 goddamned versions they release of a single film, it would be confusing. But why pure diarrhoea to replace it with?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,604 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Exactly! It's not like it's a brilliant new design by Mondo!
A24 4,995 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Somebody got paid for this design by people who got paid to give their approval.
Xander Harris 8,889 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 You think THAT is a bad cover? This is real. Holko 1

Jim 6,122 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Posted August 8, 2019 https://youtu.be/ydgnM2fYAkA Doc looks amazing. Wojo 1
A24 4,995 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 This fantastic movie is still NOT available on Blu-ray. Amazing! Since it's only released on DVD in the Benelux, I decided to order it from the Brits.
A24 4,995 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Amazon UK declines my payment. I guess they are not joking around with their Brexit. Ah well, ...
Naïve Old Fart 12,497 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Wha' ??!! A huge, faceless, money-grabbing company that doesn't want your cash?! I've never heard the like. A24 1

I've never heard the like. In Australia, it's tax reasons that Amazon International doesn't accept business. Amazon didn't want to become entangled in the Australian government's maze of a GST system which made it too complicated for independent sellers. Eventually Amazon US caved, but the UK one wants nothing to do with us.

Incidentally I placed an Amazon UK order on Thursday and it came through fine, arriving tomorrow.
A24 4,995 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Maybe there's something wrong with my Visa card. Maybe somewhere someone has blocked it. With Paypal, you can check your Paypal account to see if everything is ok, but with Visa? I have no clue.
rough cut 1,784 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Check with the bank that issued your card.

I can't find any reviews of them. I've got a 2008 UK release of The Untouchables. As far as I remember, it's watchable, but overcompressed (and probably oversharpened along with it). It's been a while since I've watched it though. Jurassic Shark 1
Jurassic Shark 15,905 Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks guys. It looks like Eagles isn't very well done either. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Kellys-Heroes-and-Where-Eagles-Dare-Blu-ray/8887/ I'll stick with my DVDs then.

rough cut 1,784 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I hadn't heard of Film Arena Collection, but it seems to be a Czech (?) company that does licensed, high-quality blu-ray releases. The releases seem to be highly limited, and they've done a ton of 'em, including Alien, Inception, The Shining, Bohemian Rhapsody and Schindler’s List and many other high profile titles. (The ones I mentioned are all sold out, but if you want to have a look, just click the respective title.) Mostly it's lenticular slipcases, collector's cards and steelbooks, which isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure there are fans of these sort of releases, so I thought I'd pass it on. I found the site by chance because they have an upcoming release of Jaws 4K, and it popped up in a google search. Xander Harris 1

Corellian2019 475 Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Just a heads-up that Amazon, Target, and Wal-Mart are selling copies of two MGM titles that supposedly went OOP at Shout Factory's site. There may be more, but the two that I saw for sale are Carrie (the original) and the steelbook edition of Dances With Wolves
