Blu-ray Discussion Thread - The One and Only

[GizmoGC]

Gizmo, how was Twilight picture-wise?

http://moviemansguide.com/reviews/DVD/read.php?id=twilight-bd

[Deadpool]

Gizmo, Waiting was not direct to DVD, as i saw it on opening day a few years back, and made quite a bit of loot. It just had an extremely short run in the theaters. ;)

[h3llbring3r]

007 movies are always getting rereleased every few years so, by that logic, you should never buy 007 movies.;)

True. I think there were three different iterations released ON LASERDISC EVEN!

[merkman]

So I'm lost. Blu-Ray.com and Amazon don't show Twilight on Blu-Ray until May 5th. But according to this thread it's day and date with the DVD release tomorrow. Which is right?

Thanks for the clarification. I was puzzled as well.

Well... there we go.

[bigdaddybruce44]

And it's a Blu-ray book. That boxset is officially out of the question, now.

Yup, this is awesome. :applause:

My patience is rewarded. One down, one to go.

Good news about the Batman coming out as a stand-alone release. I am glad I did not fork out the cash for the Anthology set. I really only wanted the first and second movie.

On another note, I just finished watching Punisher Warzone, and I have to say that movie was bad ass. Pure action all the way through.

can't wait to pick up Venture Bros... too bad they can't release Blu-Rays of the first two seasons.

35 bucks at best buy and 31 on amazon... not cheap

[BWOzar]

As a huge 007 nerd I'll be picking up:

Quantum of Solace
Goldfinger
The World is Not Enough
Moonraker
Never Say Never Again
Licence to Kill (from the Best Buy release)
The Man with the Golden Gun (from the Best Buy release)
The Fast and the Furious Collection

Oh hell yeah, man, I'm psyched. I pre-ordered that back in January when Amazon first listed it. This will be my first time seeing the extended/re-cut version. Any thoughts on the re-cut vs. original version?

When you pick up the LTK/TMWTGG/QOS set, can you post to let us know if the films are in their individual cases or if its a crappy cardboard packaging set.

Edit - oh never mind, I just read the Best Buy thread, apparently they are individually packaged. But confirmation from somebody who actually buys it and opens it would be nice :)

I actually bought it a few hours ago and can confirm that they come in three individual cases in a cardboard box that all three slide into sideways. I can confirm there are no slip covers on any of the three discs (and I have no knowledge as to if the May releases will have slip covers). The TWINE, Moonraker and Goldfinger releases do have cardboard slip covers.

I thought the Extended Version was a complete waste of time and only good for the pocket sized Sin City TPB you got with it. But keep in mind I didn't care for the original version, so take that as you will.

Thanks for the tip, I'll be picking that set up then. BTW did you get Never say never again there? How much was it? Actually if you bought all the new Bond Blus there, how much did everything end up costing, with the $10 off bonuses?

I bought Quantum, TWINE, Goldfinger and Moonraker from Amazon with the QUANTUMS discount for $77.88. I got Never Say Never Again for $23.99 from Amazon. I also purchased the Quantum giftset with Licence to Kill and Man with the Golden Gun for $65.01 at Best Buy (after NYC tax) and will be giving the 2nd copy of Quantum to my sister. So $166.88 total (incl. tax and shipping) for all 7 new releases (and 2 copies of Quantum).

It seems like to be a wise BR consumer you spend a lot of time sifting through posts/reviews about defective/crappy blu-rays. It's a downer. Whether its poor transfer, lackluster extras, or the company opted to not even pay for the theatrical release subtitles (Let the Right One In).

What I want to know is:
Anyone care to share a few of your BR titles that you consider to be exemplary or of the highest standard for the format? You know: good quality pic/sound, good extras, (e.g. this sucker was made for BluRay).

I feel like I am squeezing a pretty broad question into an already cramped thread...but here goes. I haven't spent a lot of time watching on this format and have only seen fluff titles like Hancock (jesus, I know), Silent Hill, Pineapple Express, and one other [insert crap here].

Great call, Kung Fu Panda is nearly as great as Wall-E and a probably a bit better than the other two Pixar Blus

[graf1k]

There's plenty of exemplary Blus but I maintain the best release to date is Band of Brothers.

[ChernobylCow]

Thanks, guys. I appreciate straight-forward answers rather than being dicks and referring me to Amazon reviews or some such :applause:. It's good to know about defective movies and about those that are lackluster in their production/extras or just plain shit. But the good movies/products sometimes don't get bragged on.

Now that leaves still to argue whether the movies you mentioned are actually good movies...:booty:

[Ice2Dragon]

So.. I watched MARLEY AND ME today.

I cried.. its a really touching movie that isn't about a dog at all really.

Its NOT FOR KIDS, as though there are some really serious and dark moments in the film.

GREAT MOVIE THOUGH!

[GizmoGC]

Exactly why I won't watch Marley and Me. Whoever did the theatrical trailers for that film should be shot.

[Ice2Dragon]

Exactly why I won't watch Marley and Me. Whoever did the theatrical trailers for that film should be shot.

Yeah, i ended up seeing a few of the trailers. they seriously make it seem like the dog is 100 percent of the film and it's not.

It really isn't a kids film... like not even in the slightest. There are TONS of serious tones to it that make it the complete opposite.

[neocisco]

You can trace that back to John Grogan's book though. The cover certainly doesn't imply the many serious tones of the book. A cute dog sells more books and tickets than pain and struggle.

That cover is so freaking misleading. The damn movie is about the dog, its about the damn couple. It has its moments, but there are WAY too many serious notes in it.. the blu-ray came in today.. ill let you know about the video/audio/extras for those interested.. it is the 3 disc edition that comes with dvd/digital copy though..

[Richlough]

Anyone else get a wierd 'recycle' box with Quantum of Solace ?

I can't believe they did this to Blu Rays before they did it to DVDs, considering the sales ratio .

http://www.viva-eco-box.com/about.html

Fuck these boxes , I keep my stuff . It's not like people throw away the case when they buy a movie .

[neocisco]

I saw those at MovieStop when I was picking up my copy today. I thought it was unusual but didn't think much of it.

I used to work with someone who would actually throw away the cases for all of his games, DVD's, everything. He just kept all of the discs in giant Case Logic binders. I asked him more than once what he would do if he wanted to ever trade them in anywhere. He said he just keeps everything. To each his own, I guess, but that was just so bizarre to me.

[Scorch]

Chasing Amy is scheduled for April 7th in the US, but I don't have faith in that date. It's definitely getting released that day in Canada. Think it'd be region 1 if I imported? It'd be $14.xx plus shipping which isn't bad.. but Amazon.com doesn't even have pricing info up for the US version, only "sign up to be notified when this item is available".. so that means either it's delayed or they're not taking preorders, I guess?

[Demolition Man]

Wasn't Kevin Smith going to do an extended cut for Chasing Amy down the road? Regardless if the Canada Bluray retains all the extras from the Criterion and the picture quality is improved then I might have to import this one.

[Justin42]

Definitely hate "environmentally friendly" packaging that is just annoying and less protective. The reason the case should be a sturdy plastic is TO PROTECT THE THING INSIDE! Cutting out holes in the plastic or whatever just makes me want to throw it away to replace it with a REAL case.

"Cutout "recycle" logo helps promote environmental concerns and practices for consumers"-- uhm, yeah, it helps promote me wanting to never buy another DVD or Bluray packaged like this again.

Yeah I just got a few of those with my recent couple of 007 & The Robe purchases (seems Fox is big on them). I actually swapped them case-for-case with movies in my collection I care less about. I hate this shit, they feel so flimsy and I worry about something stabbing through the outer plastic and insert to hit the disk directly if I ever tried to take a disk somewhere with me...

Canadian Blu-rays are Region A (or free) which means they work in any American BD player. I've purchased several from Amazon.ca with no problems. As for Chasing Amy...she is on order 8-) Be aware most of the discs are 1080i (not p) and usually featureless. Typically a DTS MA track on the disc as well.

So Marley and Me looks only slightly better than the DVD, which looked great to begin with. The additional special features on the blu-ray that aren't on the DVD aren't really that big, but it does as i mentioned before come with that extra DVD :)

The audio isnt much of a change either, but the DVD sounded great too.. so yeah :)

[crunchb3rry]

Lol at the industry thinking people throw away the case a disc comes in. There's so much more that could be made recyclable, or even eliminated completely. Like a blister packs for memory card that are 10x the product size and require chainsaws and steel gauntlets to open.

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

I would love to get a deal on one of those. However, I can't justify $600 when I have both players already though. I could build a HTPC around $99 Multi-drive for that.

What kinds of genres do you like before we begin to offer any suggestions. I picked up FEAST for $2 and thought it was entertaining for $2- but I enjoy campy horror flicks like ED2 . . .etc. The Pixar movies are stunning on Blu-Ray if you are interested.

Transformers gave me a heck of an experience. Maybe I'm biased but there are a lot of action in that movie though.

Why can't they be released on BD?

[crunchb3rry]

Those Bond blu-rays are highway robbery. Well...technically EVERYTHING Blu-Ray related is highway robbery. You can get the entire 20 movie set on DVD for what they want for like 6 Blu-Rays.

[bigdaddybruce44]

As you pointed out, the same can be said for a lot of things on Blu-ray. Fact is, the Bond movies look really, really good in high-def. I had rented From Russia with Love when it first came out, and I was blown away. I had to get them.

[Justin42]

Those Bond blu-rays are highway robbery. Well...technically EVERYTHING Blu-Ray related is highway robbery. You can get the entire 20 movie set on DVD for what they want for like 6 Blu-Rays.

This week's Target ad has all of the 3/24 Bond releases at $14.99 (and hints of the others also being on sale) which is a pretty amazing price for BR. And yeah, they are TOTALLY worth it, they're great remasters (and great movies).

[bigdaddybruce44]

Yeah, I have the first six, and they are some of the favorite parts of my collection. Of course, I got them back when Amazon had that really good sale last year, so I got them for about $8 a piece. Still, I would have gladly paid more, eventually.

[Ice2Dragon]

I highly recommend slumdog millionaire. Near reference video/audio, decent special features.

Movie isnt all its cracked up to be in my opinion, but still.

[neocisco]

I really liked Slumdog but it can't possibly live up to all of the hype it's received for those who haven't seen it yet. What movie could?

[DestroVega]

Why can't they be released on BD?

They only started producing the show in HD for Season 3, there wouldn't be a PQ upgrade if they released seasons 1 and 2 on blu.

[guyver2077]

jesus.. did netflix just increase their price again for bd access?

its now an additional $4 instead of $1. thats a big increase

[bigdaddybruce44]

Really?! When does that go into service? My membership terms still say $1. If they really increase it another $3, I'll be dropping BD and just using Netflix for the streaming and occasional DVD rental.

EDIT: Just read it starts April 27th. What bullshit. The story I read only mentioned plans of 2 or more movies out at a time, though, and a sliding scale of increased BD fees. Does anyone know what they will charge for the unlimited one movie plan?

I'm on the 1 DVD at a time plan and the increase is an additional $1 on top of the $1 they raised it a few months ago.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Thank you. I can live with the extra $2 a month free for BD, I suppose. Just getting annoying that they keep tacking on.

[GizmoGC]

Dropping Netflix as soon as my month expires.

[johnnypark]

Just got the email from them advising of the increase for Bluray, up to $3. I put up a poll (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219605) to see what CAG consensus (CAGsensus?) is, I'm curious although I'm pretty sure most who get Blurays are going to be pissed.

[bmachine]

Yeah, for 3-out-at-a-time it just went up $4 (to $20.99 a month). Ouch.

[LinkinPrime]

jesus.. did netflix just increase their price again for bd access?

I was about to ask Glock where he was getting this information before, and then I checked my mail. What a bunch of nonsense. They are using the "frog in boiling water" approach to get us to keep paying for this small increases.

Gotta agree there.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

Just in case nobody saw the email yet:

You are receiving this email because you added unlimited Blu-ray access to your account for $1 a month. The number of Blu-ray titles has increased significantly and will continue to do so. As we buy more, you are able to choose from a rapidly expanding selection of Blu-ray titles. And as you've probably heard, Blu-ray discs are substantially more expensive than standard definition DVDs.

As a result, the monthly charge for Blu-ray access is increasing for most plans and will now vary by plan. The charge for monthly Blu-ray access on your 1 DVD at-a-time (Unlimited) plan will increase from $1 a month to $2 a month. The price of your 1 DVD at-a-time (Unlimited) plan is not changing and remains at $8.99 a month.

The new charge for Blu-ray access will be automatically added to your next billing statement on or after April 27, 2009 and will be referenced in your Membership Terms and Details.

If you wish to continue unlimited Blu-ray access for $2 a month, you don't need to do anything. If not, you can remove Blu-ray access anytime by visiting Your Account.

If you have questions about this change or need any assistance, please call us anytime at 1-888-923-0898.

-The Netflix Team
I like how they just shoved a 20%+ price increase up our collective asses with these 2 increases. I'm thinking netflix is going to go the way of my HBO and Sirius subscriptions. The first increase I could deal with, but I think I'm out with this 2nd one. We were probably only getting through 1 disc a month and as nice as the streaming on the 360 sounds I never used it.

[Ice2Dragon]

Im soooooooooooooooo hoping something comes in today.. if it does im posting pictures :)

[gunm]

I don't like it, but it is only a buck after all. I blame the mass market for choosing cheap DVDs over PQ. :)

[BOOMATIC206]

Anyone getting the Real Ghostbusters vol. 1 on DVD? It's $21 on amazon.

If anyone knows somewhere cheaper let me know.

Kevin Smith announced in his podcast that Chasing Amy and Clerks will be available in the US on BR in July.

[Ice2Dragon]

The UFC dvd's that Ive watched in the past normally still sound decent even though its 2.0 audio, but the picture always had the same problem with the cage: it sparkled everytime a picture was taken. It got hella annoying and they never fix it.

[bullsrfive]

Does anyone know how long they take to send it to you? Cuz its already been like a month n i still havent gotten anything

[Dief88]

I voted as well. Hope they fix the problem!

Pushing Daisies Season 2 coming on July 21st.

It's a shame the series has been canceled.

[Ice2Dragon]

Pushing Daisies Season 2 coming on July 21st.

It's a shame the series has been canceled.

With a dolby digital 5.1 track.

Big SCREW YOU to fans. Thanks warner yet again.

[neocisco]

Maybe it's naive, but why is 5.1 a "screw you"?

[Ice2Dragon]

Maybe it's naive, but why is 5.1 a "screw you"?

Warner promised all future blu-rays would be high-def audio, then they put out a dolby digital 5.1 track. Thats a "screw you."

If you think that's not...

[neocisco]

I didn't know, that's why I was asking. By HD audio do you mean 7.1?

[GizmoGC]

It's possible that the PD S2 artwork is simply a template and not the final design. Remember how PD S1 said TrueHD on it and it wasn't?

[Ice2Dragon]

I didn't know, that's why I was asking. By HD audio do you mean 7.1?

I mean DOlby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, etc. Dolby Digital is what most DVD's have.

[Ice2Dragon]

It's possible that the PD S2 artwork is simply a template and not the final design. Remember how PD S1 said TrueHD on it and it wasn't?

Im surprised warner didnt reissue that though, since it was advertised being TrueHD then it wasn't.. but it's been what nearly a year?

I really enjoyed pushing daises.. I was sad to see it cancelled. I would have gladly bought the blu-rays if they were high-def audio :(

[neocisco]

I mean DOlby TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, etc. Dolby Digital is what most DVD's have.

But to answer my question, Dolby TrueHD is 7.1, correct?

[dg7md]

Just got this via email: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00164GDD2/ref=pe_11480_11748200_emwa_email_title_1

No date yet though.

[bigdaddybruce44]

I don't know if it was ever confirmed (guess not), but a lot of the rumors point towards early June, so it can coincide with the 25the anniversary. Can't wait for this and the game!

[GizmoGC]

But to answer my question, Dolby TrueHD is 7.1, correct?

HD audio can, and typically is, 5.1. Not a whole lot of 7.1 releases on Blu-ray.

[Demolition Man]

Does anyone know if Target will be getting in those Warner releases tommorow? Namely 2010 and Final Destination along with the potential in-store price? Target.com as we all know is linked to Amazon.

[DestroVega]

Pushing Daises was a great premise that went no where, I was happy it got cancelled so I could stop waching it early.

[Ice2Dragon]

Not sure, my target person has been sick the past few days so I have no clue..

Pushing Daises was a great premise that went no where, I was happy it got cancelled so I could stop waching it early.

I enjoyed the show actually.. i was sad to see it got canceled along with Scrubs (even though that was overdue...)

[GizmoGC]

Someone start a new thread as I won't be here for a while. Ice2Dragon knows why and he will respect my wishes by not saying why.

[LinkinPrime]

I'm not digging the Ghostbusters cover :/

http://www.highdefdigest.com/images/post/8/8360/original.jpeg

[bigdaddybruce44]

The GB cover should simply be the classic black background and the logo, in my opinion.

[SteveMcQ]

Looks like they're going with the blue theme for Blu-Ray. Was there even any blue ectoplasm in any of the Ghostbusters films? Slimer's green goo would make even more sense, but yeah, just the plain old logo on black would've worked nicely.

[gunm]

IIRC pink or red was another color for ecto--in the sequel? I haven't watched the films in a while. I think the toy version of ecto was in different colors too, but I don't remember blue. Yeah, I get what they were going for from a marketing perpective, though.

[Megalith]

They could have just used The Incredible Hulk's "Green-Ray" theme.

[h3llbring3r]

I'm not digging the Ghostbusters cover :/

http://www.highdefdigest.com/images/post/8/8360/original.jpeg

I am pretty sure this was done to differentiate it from that last batch of remasters (with the green bkg) and reinforce the "Blu-ray."

I don't like it either, I would have preferred the original black bkg.

[BWOzar]

Only pickup for me this week is 2010: The Year We Make Contact

I wouldn't mind owning: Taking Lives, Yes Man, Wedding Singer, American History X, Final Destination (I'm waiting on the inevitable trilogy release when the new one comes out in August) and, perhaps, Day The Earth Stood Still

[Demolition Man]

Only pickup for me this week is 2010: The Year We Make Contact.

Same here. I'll end up at least renting Yes Man and The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Final Destination (I'm waiting on the inevitable trilogy release when the new one comes out in August).

Or just wait until October for the inevitable quad pack with 3D glasses for part 4.

[Ice2Dragon]

Amazing audio/video on DTESS btw. Watched it earlier today, some cool exclusives too for it.

Yes, there will be a quad pack at some point down the road.. but does warner own the rights to the fourth film?

[Demolition Man]

Yes, there will be a quad pack at some point down the road.. but does warner own the rights to the fourth film?

New Line is under Warner anyways so there won't be any issues with a quad pack being done.

[LinkinPrime]

Moved you to the OP I2D.

[Ice2Dragon]

New Line is under Warner anyways so there won't be any issues with a quad pack being done.

Ah, i didnt know New Line still had the rights to it. I couldve sworn it was given up after the third one...Then again they said after the second one "There wouldnt be anymore".

After the first one it went downhill anyways.. the whole sequence of how everyone died.. then how it changed.. then the third one wasn't as violent as the others :(

I will however not go in a tanning bed again.

[gmsisko1]

Does anyone know much about the Digital copy that comes with some Blu Ray movies?

Is there a time limit as to when it will expire?

Is there a limit on how many devices you can put it on?

Thanks

[Ice2Dragon]

Time limit - its roughly a year til they expire and the code is invalid.

Limit on devices - no, not to my knowledge.

[VipFREAK]

Time limit - its roughly a year til they expire and the code is invalid.

Seriously? wow... ghey. Maybe I should try to sell my digital copes then. :roll:

[cdeener]

I don't know if this has been answered yet but is it a site or a list somewhere of all the Blu-ray with Digital Copy somewhere? I just was wondering because I have four at the moment and my girl wants to add to the movies on her laptop so I'm trying to focus on buying movies that feature this.

[lawdood]

So is the Total Recall Blu really that bad? I was about to get of my DVD copy and upgrade but then read some of the reviews...sounds like a horrible transfer. Some even said if you have a good upconvert DVD player (which I do) to just stick with that...so is that the consensus?

Yes, yes it is. I wouldn't take the Total Recall Blu-ray for free, you couldnt pay me to watch it again based on quality of the video.. its awful man. I almost recommend seeing it just to see how bad it is lol.

Seriously? wow... ghey. Maybe I should try to sell my digital copes then. :roll:

They actually go for a few bucks. Some of them require the extra disc, some do not ( i know some like 10,000 BC do not)

[ITDEFX]

I wonder how 2010 is on Blu Ray.. I have my walmart copy I got for 14, but worried it might be a bad transfer (like short circuit). I know this release had NO real extra's for the 25th anniversary...not even a tribute to Roy S. :(
It would have been nice for a director's commentary or visual effects bts, but over all it's a great movie.

It's done very well, it's a HUUUUGE leap over the pos DVD. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you've ever seen the horrible crap that was the DVD

[shivaedge]

Not sure if this is the right place, but I have a question about Blu-ray.com.

I'm searching through the site, and apparently Collateral (Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx) is going to be released sometime in 2009, but there is no other info.

I do remember searching for Collateral in that site in the past, but it wasn't even in the database. So I guess that movie was announced to be released recently? Any info on this? How reliable is that site?

Tons of movies have been announced, but we dont know the date until its actually given to websites. WIthout tech specs, the date for a movie such as Collateral can happen at any point.

For example, amazon listed today entries for hot Fuzz/Shaun of the dead, yet no announcement was made. It means that we will see them at SOME Point, we just dont know when :(

[Ice2Dragon]

So to anyone who's seen the wrestler..

Damn she gets naked a lot.. and the ending is.. sigh?

So to anyone who's seen the wrestler..

Marisa Tomei has a newfound fondness for getting naked. Along with The Wrestler there's Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, right in the opening scene and that's just for starters.

I noticed. I heard it was only like one scene, but damn theres like 10.

[neocisco]

Plus she's 44 and doesn't look anywhere near it, body or face.

24 Season 7 Blu-Ray details were officially revealed the other day. Blu-Ray is scheduled for a May 19th release, the day after the season finale of Season 7. I have never seen a TV show come to DVD the day after it finished the season, but I am not complaining. Can't wait to see this in 1080p, and TRUE HD 5.1 sound.

Plus she's 44 and doesn't look anywhere near it, body or face.

There are a few jokes about her age at the start that made me chuckle, she must be a good sport to put up with them. Most women I know who had that stuff said to them woulda decked the people saying it LOL

[Cleaner7]

Did anyone get an email from Warner Bros. about their Blu-Ray Rewards? Basically you buy 5 of their select BRs and get 1 free. The deal lasts from April 2009 to April 2010. I just signed up. Here's the link (http://warnerbros.eprize.net/goblu/index.tbapp).

If anyone has bought a WB BR this month, did it have an insert with a code in it? I'm curious what code you enter on the website since I recently bought Troy (Director's Cut) from them but haven't opened it yet since I don't have a BR player yet.

It's not all their BR's only selected ones that they include on that website. So far I think Yes Man is the only one that's out yet.

[gunm]

The Wrestler is out next week? Nekkid Marisa Tomei, here I come! Pun intended?

[dg7md]

I hope more shows take that cue from 24 and release their DVD set fairly shortly after the finale of that season airs, it sucks having to wait months after the season finale of a show ends to either catch up or re-watch the episodes when they release so close to when the next season begins.

[Ice2Dragon]

I agree. Im pissed off at lionsgate for waiting like 5-6 months to release weeds season 4 on blu-ray.. although its going to coincide rather soon with the fifth season, it still blows.

[erectiontown]

The ending to the wrestler is perfect

[LinkinPrime]

I stopped watching 24 after the first few episodes...not by choice, damn DVR killed an episode...I never caught up...might as well just get the Blu-Ray and watch it in all it's glory.

Same deal with MAD MEN except it's closer to a YEAR inbetween when the series aired and when the BD/DVD will be available!

[Scorch]

The Wrestler was good, I disliked the ending a bunch.. I watched it on DVD so there were no extra features. I'll probably pick it up on Blu next week.

and Terminator Season 2

and Dollhouse Season 1

[Ice2Dragon]

Actually this will be the last we see of Terminator.. it was just canceled :(

Stupid fox, they kill off a good show by moving it from monday to friday.. I wouldnt be surprised if Dollhouse doesn't make it to season 2 :(

[TheRock88]

Cant wait for Chuck S2, hope the visuals dont have the same problems as the first season's release.

[Scorch]

Um.. there are extras.. two of them

Music video for "The Wrestler" and a lengthy feature about the film..

The copies sent out for rental don't have any special features, chief.

[Ice2Dragon]

The copies sent out for rental don't have any special features, chief.

Oh thats right, Fox is one of the studios sending out DVD's with no special features in an attempt to get people to buy their DVDs rather than rent them.. lol...

[Scorch]

Yep. Glad I get free rentals.

[Ice2Dragon]

Yep. Glad I get free rentals.

Out of curiosity, have you heard anyone complain about the no special features? Or any funny stories about it @_@

[Scorch]

I work at Game Crazy. I don't deal with customers renting at Hollywood Video. I just get free rentals from there since GC is like a sister company.

[VipFREAK]

What do you think of their new program Power play?

[Demolition Man]

Cant wait for Chuck S2, hope the visuals dont have the same problems as the first season's release.

Chuck S1 Blu has looked fine on both my HTPC (via Corel WinDVD) and my LG BH200. No green tint that others have commented on.

[xbox_mole]

Oh thats right, Fox is one of the studios sending out DVD's with no special features in an attempt to get people to buy their DVDs rather than rent them.. lol...

I thought I read in Video Business that they were stopping this partly due to their big mixup with sending the wrong copies of Slumdog's DVD to Amazon.

[gunm]

Looks like amazon did an early match on BB's price of The Wrestler. Was $25.99 for the past few days.

BTW ice2: Terminator:SCC hasn't been confirmed as officially canceled yet. I think we'll know for sure this week, though.

Its gonna happen. The ratings have been horrible for it since it moved to Friday from Monday. Plus from what I read its not the cheapest show to shoot... so if I were betting on it Id say yes.. :(

[gunm]

Well finally! But...ouch:

Yeah, for some reason ppl create threads on this rather than talk about it here.. Ill never understand why :(

Theres no way thats gonna sell at that price.. Id personally wait til it hits below 150 to even think about it.

Remember when Lost Season 3 on Blu was like $35 shortly after its release?

There's always deals if you wait :)

Or get a movie reviewing website to hire you and ask for that one ^_^

Went ahead and preorder The Wrestler and Sin City on Blu-Ray from Amazon, I ordered the X-Men Trilogy a week or so ago when it was $49. I ended up paying only $5 or so out of pocket since I had a lot of credit on Amazon.

[phantomfriar2002]

There's always deals if you wait

Or get a movie reviewing website to hire you and ask for that one ^_^

I think with a price tag like that review copies of that box set are going to be very, very hard to come by....and given how stingy Universal has become sending out review product, I'd say they may not be sending out any copies of it whatsoever.

Either way, I ain't payin' for it. $244 (with the "discount") is obscene!!! lol.

[gunm]

There's a separate thread for BSG on Blu? Unless it's for a sale/deal, then I don't think it's necessary either.

I just got some credit for Amazon myself, so maybe I'll pick up Sin City and The Wrestler now as well.

[DestroVega]

I would like to write movie reviews on a site... how would I go about that?

yeah I mean why would universal want reviews of their product.. no one ever pays attention to those.. like who blows 200+ on a movie before reading a few reviews on it... @_@

Dunno, see if your college/high school paper will hire you to do it. That usually works (its how I started).. then go from there!

I'm 29... I actually was the editor of the Entertainment section of my college paper at UConn.

I could email a few places I guess.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Try local papers to build up your clips. I had no experience writing (well, I wrote things, but you know what I mean)...no college paper...no high school paper...nothing. I was able to get some freelance work, though, and nearly got a full-time position a few times.

[Ice2Dragon]

In a rather odd turn of events...

Seth Macfarlane's Cartoon Cavalcade was delayed until May 12 according to Amazon.. no idea why.

[Persona7]

I wish they would release Charmed seasons 1-8 on BluRay. :( Hopefully with some good extra features and subtitles which the DVDs did not have. Paramount DVDs suck.

Also,Widescreen. I have been watching it on TNT HD and its great.

Can't wait to pick up X-Men Trilogy tomorrow!!

I still dont get why they dont include artwork on their blu-ray discs.. :(

Geez... I'm sorry I even bothered to downloaded it.

Edit: Kinda makes me wonder how Family Guy ever got this far much less American Dad... christ.

Is it that bad? I know its only like 50 minutes long.. the promo before NOTORIOUS made it look somewhat entertaining..

[VipFREAK]

oh... hmm... I thought you were being sarcastic about not knowing why it was "delayed". Trust me... you don't want to waste your time. SERIOUSLY. I'd feel bad for anyone that buys this then again... if they had seen it first THEN bought it I'd laugh my arse off.

No I really didnt know lol. I was waiting for phantom to pop in and say why it was, since I rarely get any news as to things being delayed.

Good to know.. itll be a quick 50 minutes... hopefully..

[VipFREAK]

Oh... sorry? didn't wanna have you feel like this. lol

No, i felt that way after watching Notorious. Man, what a shocker ending that film had *Rolls eyes*

[VipFREAK]

Oh, that sucks. lol

Never saw it.

[Scorch]

I was totally going to rent Notorious, but then I heard he got shot at the end and it totally ruined it for me.

Ha, someone texted me that months ago.. I still laugh at my initial reaction to the text. It was so random at the time.

and ffs, it's The Wrestler coming out this week, not "Wrestling"

[Ice2Dragon]

and ffs, it's The Wrestler coming out this week, not "Wrestling"

it was a joke..

I had to change it from X-Men, Wrestling, and Cartoons!

like a joke.. X-men.. some wrestling.. and cartoons!

But my word limit is really low :(

[gunm]

I got what this week's thread title was about. Seems fine to me.

[neocisco]

I got a laugh out of it. Just leave it. Scorch always has to complain about something.

[Scorch]

you know it!

picked up the x-men trilogy today.. it was a bitch trying to find it. everyone only had the single disc releases. x-men 1's sound is amazing

[TheRock88]

Really? For me, it was harder to find the single releases while they had tons of the trilogy sets.

[Ice2Dragon]

I went ahead and linked some of the reviews for upcoming movies on the main page.

As I see more reviews pop up on other sites Ill link them there as well.

I made two inquiries about doing this, and never heard back about either. So if Im not allowed to do it then ill unlink them...

I am apparently blind to anything directly centered in my field of vision.

There seemed to be a few new $12.99 catalog titles in the stack. I need to make some notes when I pick up X3 Tril. tomorrow.

[Deadpool]

I'm not sure where to put this but i have 2 Papa John's coupons if anyone wants them PM me.

[Ice2Dragon]

Hey guys,

I updated today since Im not gonna be around odds are tomorrow. Enjoy.

FYI The Uninvited had great audio and video (at least the DVD did) but its a freaking awful movie with crappy special features.. so yeah.

[blk00civicsi]

Perfect title I2D. Gotta love it.

[gunm]

What is this Scorch movie? Sounds lame, haha j/k. :)

[neocisco]

It's a movie about a kid who sits at a computer and just bitches all day.

Great title, I2D.:applause:

[Ice2Dragon]

Man, I just got done watching ABOVE THE LAW, with steven segal.

Horrible ass picture and audio, but I swear that guy had the best lines ever.

He's holding up like 5 guys with a pistol on the street.

"You can't kill us all mr badass" says one of the mobsters

Segal shoots him and says "You're right, but I get an A for effort"

I freaking lol'd for like ten minutes. Freaking classics.

[Scorch]

This week's title is MUCH better!

[Scorch]

So what's the deal with "100 feet"? We got a bunch in today, it's labeled as a Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery exclusive.. it'll be kinda hard to buy this movie if that's the case. It's scheduled to come out this Tuesday. Maybe it's a timed exclusive?

Nice to see you back, Gizmo.

These titles are dumb...Gizmo are you going to take over the thread again anytime soon?

[h3llbring3r]

Wow, the Wrestler & Uninvited for $18 at Brandsmart USA. Nice, are there any early reviews of the Ghostbusters Blu-Ray?

[Ice2Dragon]

All i tried to do was make it interesting and draw more people to the thread.

BUt its always great to wake up to a post like this from a mod. Always great.

[neocisco]

The titles aren't a big deal. There haven't been any AAA titles to speak of for the last couple of weeks and I2D was just taking a little creative license. It's nothing to get worked up about.

[Poor2More]

I clicked cause I read the title, so it works

Not trying to bust your balls or anything because I appreciate your making an effort to contribute on this site - I just don't understand what is gained by putting 'clues' up instead of the title of the movie. It surely doesn't inspire traffic or discussion within the thread...

That said you left off the title the two Blu-Rays I'm actually picking up this coming week:
Star Trek The Original Series Season 1
The Da Vinci Code Extended Edition

[bigdaddybruce44]

Just list the titles.

[whoknows]

I say leave it how it is.

Just because it bothers people :D

Because this interweb thing is serious business.

[Friend of Sonic]

Who the fuck gives a flying fuck about titles? If you see a different title, check the OP for the update. Alternatively, if Left2Dragon gets burnt out on trying to be creative, then he can go back to listing titles.

Jesus.

[Demolition Man]

I just finished watching Scorch's Negativity. It started out funny but after the first 15 or so minutes it started to get old. However the scene where Scorch explained his addiction to correcting grammer on message forums then watching him cuss at his monitor repeatedly while doing said correcting certainly made up for all of that. Nice PQ quality and the DTS MA 7.1 track sounds nice too. The best thing about the Blu-Ray is the extras. Especially the commentary track with Scorch himself ripping the film apart since the filmmakers didn't depict him as well as he liked.

Overall worth a rental at least.

These are both Disney Releases. Call Buena Vista Home Entertainment and tell them there was a sticker on the front of the releases showing the rebate but you didn't get the forms. Make sure to specify 2 if they are the same form and they will mail them out to you.

I didn't get forms in my Kill Bill BRs and they mailed them to me with no problem.
