SoberChef Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 @Emblazondid you end up getting that Terrifier 2 set? Recently on a whim I picked up both X-Men First Class & Days of Future Past on 4K as well as Speed 4K all for free using points on Amazon, they & the new Zach Snyder/James Gunn Dawn of the Dead 4K should arrive by end of the week. I also ordered on BB the 3:10 to Yuma 4K steelbook as well as pre-ordered the steelbook 4K of Training Day. Anyone else recently pick up anything they cherish in the physical media space? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Sadly I haven’t bought since Xmas. Although I’m gonna see a little bit of money come my way soon (small couple K pension payout from my last job) So I’ll probably order my missing 3D marvel films from Amazon Japan. So probably ordering soon The Eternals Shang-Chi Dr. Strange: MoM Thor: Love and Thunder Black Panther: Wakanda Forever if available, I want them in there Steelbook form. Have them all like that since The Avengers initial home video release 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Well I caved and bought Field of Dreams 4k and Jackass4ever blu-ray. I’ve been meaning to get Field of Dreams for a bit, as the movie hits me emotionally after losing my dad. The other movie was $12 and a small price to pay for mindless entertainment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks when that happens, my Platoon & Django 4Ks, the packaging was damaged to the point the cases were broken, pisses me off. Whole not a fan of the 3rd, the first two are solid.

Hows that collection look and sound and how are the extras? I'm not an audiophile guy in the slightest (let alone anyone who can review movies for their disc merits). But I will say that the picture looks great compared to the Shout! release, and the discs are simple for idiots like me who just like to pop in a movie and play it without any fuss (I doubt any of this helps you, lol). I haven't gone through any extras, but I've read that everything included in this first movie is stuff that Shout! already had in theirs. Still, Shout! only had the first movie, and with Kino you'd be getting all three in one set for ~$40 - which is not a bad purchase in the slightest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 So apparently Arrow Video/Scream is having a HUGE sale (up to 60% off on over 300 titles) so why not scope it out! They have amazing box sets of Giallo films, the Shawscope 12 disc collection is under $100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleG Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Dawn Of The Dead 4k Film holds a special place for me. Its the first true horror film my daughter became obsessed with . My father loved NOTLD growing up, I loved ROTLD and my daughter got hooked in with this film. A bit of passing the torch if you will. The film looks great at 4k, the over saturated look mixed with sickly green tint sets the tone for the film. I do wish they had done an atmos mix though. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 4k Such a weird film, it never feels like it knows what its doing. The character just kind of show up and do shit, and the chainsaw wiggles are bat shit strange. Image is great, the make up and gore effects hold up really well. David Bowie Live LA 1974 Tour Vinyl Totally love the low fi quality of this album. It sounds like a high quality boot leg from period. There is something very cathartic about dropping this in and rolling a hooter off the cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Got to see DotD in 3D late last year on its anniversary release and the 3D legit held up nicely. I know that there was a super groovy 4K limited box set for it but was sold out almost immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Unsure about anybody else but apparently the Training Day 4K due to release next week, the standard version is packaged in a Blu Ray case and not a 4K case, personally I opted for the pretty sweet looking steelbook anyways, but just wanted to share a heads up. Also, it was revealed that Arrow will be releasing 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas' in May on 4K!! Unsure if I'll snag that immediately via pre-order or instead wait and see as Criterion already did a fantastic job with the Blu Ray a number of years ago, so maybe they'll have an announcement as well?

IdeaOfEvil Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I was watching my Blade Runner 2049 4k disc, and it froze on me. So, I re-bought it for whatever $30 it current goes for. But then I was watching Everything, Everywhere(...) on 4k, and that froze on me. So, I checked out a Google search and it turns out I have a crappy 4k player (Sony UBP 700) that's known to overheat and crash during long movie playbacks. But then, it's also known to be so sensitive that a tiny hair or fingerprint can also cause these catastrophic crashes, so no one's even sure what the problem with this brand is. So, not only did I spend $30 on a replacement disc for a movie that probably wasn't broken in the first place, but now I've gotta find a different 4k player that I can get modded to be region free..

IdeaOfEvil Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Yea, every thread about this Sony model that I've read on the net always has multiple people saying that the Panasonic model is the way to go. But dam, $400-$1400 (depending on the model) is not an immediate amount of cash I have access to atm =/ And I think I read something where people were saying that the Sony models all have Atmos or HDR10, or something, that other models don't have... At least my Sony can still watch sub 2hr 4k movies without problems for now. But it's a dam sucky feeling to watch a movie and worry that it's gonna randomly freeze the longer it goes, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69los Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I've had 2 4K discs freeze on me and they were both Star Wars movies (Rogue One and A New Hope). Some genius thought it was a good idea to stack the 4K disc on top of the bonus disc and the 4K discs were scratched in the process. The BR disc had its own slot. Luckily, eps V-VIII were unscathed and I switched slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I finally got that money I was waiting on. So my Marvel 3D films have been ordered. Could only get my Thor: L&T and Wakanda Forever in their Steelbook forms. (Wish they had the Namor steelbook) At least all of them come with the 4K disc as well, but god was that expensive. Should see my order by next week, minus WF, as that isn’t out until mid April in the steelbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualhunter Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers Extended Editions had issues (I think the sound cut, skipped lots of frames and the picture had digital noise) in the last few minutes of disc 1 that required me to stop and restart my LG player (I ejected the disc to inspect and put it back in) to get past. Didn't have a problem with The Return of the King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have a problem with The Return of the King. Love LG for their TVs (receivers good too) but I have never been much of a fan of their disc players. Had issues with them during my theatre projection days. Why management kept buying them, I have no idea why but they were prone to disc skips, freeze or outright die on use of play. We ran 4 or them daily for 12-14hrs for our preview show in theatres and a different disc player in our lobby show. Plus we had another 2 for our party rooms, and just ran random kid movies on the TVs as advertisement. So I told them to move onto Panasonic or Toshiba and they lasted much longer with only a few little issues. Sorry for my rant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Amazon prime orders sometimes take longer than that. These movies had only crossed the fucking Pacific Ocean and then 3/4 of Canada. I can literally drive too the Amazon warehouses near me, pick up my order, drive home and only take maybe 2hrs.

silentbob Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Continuing my 3D movie buying habit. There’s an Australian company called RandomSpaceMedia, and they sometimes get their hands on 3D movies that never got a studio release. (Spider-Man: No Way Home being my first of theirs) So they just announced a limited run of Dreamworks The Bad Guys, Minions:Rise of Gru and Sing 2. Also picked up Hotel Transylvania 3 as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 I hear that the Hotel Transylvania flicks are fun. I just got the Dazed & Confused Criterion 4K for the low price of merely $0.06!!! (Thanks Amazon rewards & also aiding me in obtaining Return of the Living Dead for free as well!) There's the first big Criterion sale coming up soon just as a heads up for everyone.

Nokra Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 During Black Friday I bought the complete James Bond collection on Blu-ray (was on sale for $40, currently $84). I happened to still have a couple of the 90s movies (GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies) on DVD and to kill some time, I did a side by side comparison. It will of course surprise nobody, but it never ceases to amaze me how even older movies look 1000% better on Blu-ray. Even the 1960s movies (e.g. Dr. No, 1962) look great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
