Quintus 5,399 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 It's a good movie, but it's always lacked something I can't quite put my finger on. I prefer three of his other films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,322 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 And today I got Kill Bill Vol.1 for 3.90 Euro. David Lynch's The Elephant Man was on sales too but still a little too much (12.90 Euro). It's been ages since I saw that movie. I'm almost afraid to watch it again. It's not a feel good movie, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,973 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I like the score, which is quite memorable. I've even got a CD somewhere.The film I watched a couple of times on TV, but it was always very late at night so I kind of have a dreaming recollection of what it is like.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kind of lost the old image earlier today and wanted something that is as close as possible to the previous one. I can't change it to something else entirely, cause I'm not strong enough personality for people to recognize me if I did that. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleo 63 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yea, realllllllly don't like it.Well, at first I was happy that it brought back Sam Neill and Laura Dern, that it looked like shot on a tropical island again, and had a score that was more like the first one... but then I quickly realized how unimaginative the story was, and how awkward the acting. Plus hyper-intelligent Velociraptors, and the ridiculous end scene, so all in all less than stellar. But I still like to watch it for the dinosaur action. Never understood how JP2 and 3 were the best well-paid screenplay writers/directors could come up with... there was so much opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 The CGI was also lacking in the third. Looked fake. It's more like a TV spinoff movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I can understand why some people were turned off with The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III. Honestly I myself like all three movies. If I can afford to pick the Blu-Ray set up this year I definitely will. Plus we got excellent scores for all three movies too. I'm hoping one day La-La Land, or maybe Intrada will be able to release the complete scores for Jurassic Park and The Lost World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,662 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 We're so overdue to get both.And even though JP isn't missing much music, I still want the entire thing, in film order, as separate cues.Or someone can just leak them. While I'd love to give one of the labels some revenue, I really don't care how we get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 The Lost World is decent popcorn entertainment with some fine performances by Goldblum, Postlethwaite and company. Loads of neat action sequences (rounding up the dinos, trailer over the cliff, T-Rex and raptor ambushes, dinosaur vs. American city) more of those remarkable visual effects (although Stan Winston's stuff is a bit lacking at times--perhaps blame this on Kaminski?), Williams' brooding and pulse-pounding score. Perhaps Spielberg was a bit rusty. Hell, I think the movie is better than the book. I want it on Blu-ray.Going to wait for the price to drop.

Demondm810 397 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I actually love The Lost World. But it's because of Goldblum. I could literally watch him read the dictionary. I actually had a professor in Law School that acted almost verbatim like Goldblum's Malcolm. I always wondered if it was on purpose, he talked like him, he had similar glasses and wore all black.

paleo 63 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Received my blu-ray of 'Baby: Secret of the lost Legend' today (oh, nostalgia... ). After the dismal DVD that was previously available (looked like direct-from-vhs) I had very low expectations, but I was so pleasantly surprised today: really good picture quality, and, in contrast to what's written on the label (dolby digital 2.0), it actually has a decent (not overwhelming) DTS-HD soundtrack (according to my blu-ray player). So, despite the absence of any extras or additional languages, $5 well invested (it's a Wal Mart exclusive till August). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallenger 480 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Lol awesome. "Scared Stupid" I grew up on, and still love the troll design. I think it gave me nightmares as a kid, and even today am surprised just how great that troll looks."Goes To Jail" was honestly his strangest film, but also made it be perhaps the best one. Just a very bizzare story that takes some odd dark turns lol.Can't wait for "Baby!". I ordered "site to store" since my Wal Mart didn't (and probably won't, knowing them) carry them. Just $15 bucks for all 3 is pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Honestly they probably don't look good to begin with. Also dual layer discs hold 50 GB. I highly doubt the Ernest movies lose quality by being on one disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondm810 397 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ah, but it is not a dual layered 50, as I said!

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 None of us have compared the double feature to the single releases, so maybe we should just stop But I'll say this, if a 3 hour movie can look superb on a single Blu disc, why can't two low-budget comedies?

That's because there's a shit ton of special features and commentaries Most of the special features are on separate discs, and the commentary tracks are just talk, which is easy to compress and won't take up much space. But still, such long movies in HD can easily fill a lot of space. And I'd rather have two discs just to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallenger 480 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 In October there will be 2 new editions of the documentary PLANET EARTH, the original BBC version. It will have new bonus features, a LE set version in a world globe, and... a MUSIC ONLY viewing option!http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=6834Also, I guess this already came out in the UK? A poster said "I have done a quick comparison with some of the problems scenes from the previous release and the banding issues are look to be gone . The descriptions on the back mentions "all the episodes re-encoded to a standard not previously available"."Too bad the music isn't in 5.1, but that's alright. Was there much music not on the CD?
