Wojo 2,453 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I bought the Looney Tunes DVD set because it contained more episodes and features than higher priced Blu-ray discs. And anyone expecting eighty year old cartoons to look markedly better has the eyes of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 There is absolutely no reason to still buy DVDs.Yes there is.Recently I bought Boston Legal and the final season of The Practice on DVD because I'm not waiting around forever for some old legal drama to make it to blu-ray. Especially from a studio like Fox that won't even make any more Simpsons blu-ray sets.I also bought the Buffy DVD boxset earlier this year because I fear that even if they do eventually release it on blu-ray, it'll be the shitty HD remasters they did for broadcast where they fucked up the framing in their conversion to 16:9, and the colour timing and brightness in many episodes is just off.Best to hunt down older masters if you know the new one they're spruiking sucks. You can't be married to one format if you want the best presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is only available on DVDRaiders of the Lost Ark on DVD doesn't have that awful tintThe Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition and the other director's cuts are only on DVDAttack of the Clones DVD has the theatrical version without those terrible edits (wait, what?)DVD is still relevant and necessary.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Wait what theatrical version on DVD? The first print DVD version I have has the extended confession scene with Padme's "to be angry is to be human" line and when the clonetrooper finds her lying in the sand, she says "uh huh" instead of that awkward "yes".

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 You're right! Well, the DVD is closer to the theatrical version.They edited the fight between Yoda and Dooku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Yep, the Blu-ray has an awful teal tint. Why do they keep doing that to films??The Phantom Menace has some atrocious DNR and a crummy CGI Yoda, but I suppose it's still preferable to the DVD. Revenge of the Sith turned out perfect. They didn't fuck with any of the colors or make edits to the film. If you have the Blu-ray, you have it at its native resolution! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 They also seemed to have added an artificial grain element to ROTS on blu-ray, so it looks more film-like.It'll be funny seeing them try to force a 4K upscale remaster of AOTC and ROTS.

Giftheck 917 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I think my original point has been overlooked here.

Wojo 2,453 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Apples and oranges. VHS have a lot more moving parts than optical discs. The physical contact with the tape is also inherently destructive over time. DVD should never die so long as Blu-ray is still available. They're fundamentally the same technology and build process. Different laser size is it. People who don't want to upgrade shouldn't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,372 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Official synopsis for Civil War Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
