Mike, hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving! After picking up 20+ 4K discs over Black Friday, I think I'm on a buying moratorium until next year! I do have 2001 and Schindler's List on my wishlist though, so maybe Santa will bring me just a couple more to round out an outstanding 2018.

The Abyss - did this even get a BR release? Urgent! If I had to pick 1 it would be this. Ben Hur Lawrence of Arabia The Ten Commandments - not mainstream enough? Godfather trilogy Lord of the Rings trilogy Alien quadrilogy Rogue One - now that Disney are doing Star Wars movies in 4K, not gonna...

Asked this in a previous thread with no reply, but hopefully since everybody is talking about Ant-Man it'll get a response. Any word on the 1st Ant-Man coming out in 4K? They released all the previous Avengers movies in 4K when Infinity War came out on disc, but I haven't heard of Ant-Man...

Any word on whether the 1st Ant-Man movie is getting a 4K release anytime soon? I was hoping they would continue the back catalog 4K treatment for Ant-Man like they did with the 2 previous Avengers movies when Infinity Wars came out in 4K, but I can't find any mention of them doing so for Ant-Man.

I can completely sympathize with projector owners clinging onto 1080p. For real 4K you have to go north of 5 digits--anything else is simulated in ways that have their drawbacks--and I believe HDR is still a pipe dream for affordable projectors. But if you are on an emissive display and have...

Surprised to see so many stop at 1080p on an A/V enthusiast forum. Is that because there's no 4K 3D or is 1080p simply good enough? 4K is glorious when done right. 1080p upscaled is very nice, but 4K feels to me like the final step. I don't think 8K will make a discernible difference for my...

Ooh, is there a page that lists the qualifying titles or is that all 4K discs?

Blade Runner 2049 4K is $19.99 on Amazon right now. I would post the link but it's been a while since I've posted a deal and can't remember if there are restrictions on links to retailers, so I'm leaving it out just to be safe.

Mike, I haven't been an HTF regular for a while now having settled on an HT system (I haven't bought new hardware since 2008!) and having both time and money diverted by family, so I haven't been keeping up with things here. I remember you running this weekly roundup in the early-to-mid...

Mike, I dropped in to check out the deals on Lady and read about your recent health issues. Really hope you get better soon. I don't hit up the forum as much as I used to back in the day, but it's comforting to see your weekly roundup is still a fixture here. Thanks for keeping it up so faithfully.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but there's some good discussion here and I thought I'd stick my $0.02 in an existing discussion rather than start a new one. I just rented Bridesmaids from Blockbuster and it's a feature-less rental version. This is my first experience with an...

    Wow, that's just nuts. 1.5/5 stars for LOTR Trilogy Theatrical Editions on Blu-ray. Sheer madness. All of those people complaining that it's not the Extended Editions surely know that the EEs are coming. Why blast the TEs when the product roadmap clearly contains EEs eventually...

Do you have a link for that quote? I've never seen it, but it certainly falls in line with his handling of Star Wars. I think this is how a lot of artists feel--directors, visual artists, musicians, writers, etc.--but very few (none?) have taken it to the extreme that Lucas has.

That's all you had to say, man. I can live with that!

  Nobody (well, at least not me) is begrudging him financial success in and of itself. Saying so only serves to build up your straw man. It's when commercial concerns significantly impact the integrity of art that it starts getting icky. Feel free to debate where the line is there, but...
