A Few Words About A few words about...™ This is Spinal Tap -- in Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Robertson]

Agreed! MGM did a great job on this disc!! The same can be said for all of my recent MGM purchases. They're doing Blu-Ray right! I just don't know how much I have to credit Fox.

Geez between the news of the burned-in subs and RAH's endorsement, it isn't making the wait any easier.

Spinal Pap [Spinal Tarp?] should be debuting at my home theater by tomorrow night, Friday at the latest.

I used it as an opening act before a puppet show at my house last night.

USPS came through early! Just screened it and I am more than happy with the quality of the picture and sound, and of course the burned-in subtitles.

Chased down the Spinal Tap viewing by watching my DVR copy of last night's Daily Show (which featured Spinal Tap).

It's been a very, very good night.

Well done MGM and Fox. Very well done.

There is "none more blu"...

Except:

www.amazon.co.uk/This-Spinal-Tap-Limited-Marshall/dp/B002EEOSEY

Special Marshall amp 5-disc package, with a mini half-stack amp that goes to 11!!

 

[Carlo_M]

Now that is an AWESOME package!

I remember a few years back when Marshall actually did release real guitar amps in honor of Spinal Tap that did go to 11. I was out of cash back then but I'd really buy one now if they re-released them. Of course I'd never get any real guitar playing done because I'd be too busy reciting the scene to my friends who came over to see the amp...

 

[Yee-Ming]

I wasn't really planning on upgrading to BD for this, but that SE with the Marshall amp is really tempting...

Now that the UK disc has been out for a while, with a superior selection of extras on one disc, can anyone comment on how the picture compares with the US version, and if the UK uses the burned-in subtitles?

 

[Geoff_D]

UK version has burnt-in subs all the way, which was a lovely surprise. I can't speak for the PQ compared to the American edition, though it looks every bit as gritty and grungy as you'd expect, with a big dollop o' grain. Great audio too, although the 5.1 mix itself has always pretty darned good (I remember being wowed by the MGM 2-disc DVD back in the day).

 

[Bleddyn Williams]

Great to know, Geoff D - thanks! Think the UK version is making my Xmas list...!
