    Hobbit Battle of 5 armies playback issue

    Specifically it says it cannot operate the disc. Tried disc 2 and that played.

    Hobbit Battle of 5 armies playback issue

    Just picked up the extended edition on blu-ray today and disc 1, the movie disc, refuses to play. My player, a sony bdp s350 doesn't recognize the disc. Anyone else having similar problems?

    "The Resurrected" (dir: Dan O'Bannon) might never get a US BD release?

    Some years back I had campaigned online to get Dan O'Bannon's "The Resurrected" released on DVD via Lionsgate. After many e-mails, phone calls with the guy who ran their home entertainment division, it got a DVD release in 2005 (all be it in a full screen only, bare bones version but whatever.)...

    A John Carpenter 'shared universe'

    Speaking of those comics, I tried reading both but the awful artwork really put me off them. So disappointed.

    A John Carpenter 'shared universe'

    I think the Ghosts of Mars stuff was a bit too far in the future to work with the other stuff. As I figured, a lot of his movies wouldn't work in this scenario but the three I mentioned would prolly work best. Maybe they can get a crossover comic book going.

    A John Carpenter 'shared universe'

    Not not all of his films existing in the same reality but maybe two or three of them? Imagine Jack Crow meeting Snake Plisskin somewhere between NY & LA timelines battling vampires who wanna kill the president only to find out the president is actually an alien in disguise. Now they can't...

    Twilight Time indicates they will re-license some sold-out titles. BREAKING!

    and that's great, really but that doesn't negate the idea of wasting their limited resources on a re-release. Just as a side note, I was never a big time TT basher when this model of theirs came about. Somewhat critical, sure but I never blathered on and on about it. However I don't agree with...

    Twilight Time indicates they will re-license some sold-out titles. BREAKING!

    TT *should* be actively looking at releasing new to BD titles rather than re-release others. The limited "get it NOW before they are gone despite the high price tag" feel of the whole thing will be greatly lessened to many of their customers and IMO will only hurt their brand.

    Twilight Time indicates they will re-license some sold-out titles. BREAKING!

    It's that combination. They are releasing 3000 copies of this Sony film. Sony is not releasing catalog product as they are not interested. Physical media will be dead soon, etc. Saying all these things, without question, implies to the consumer that that 3000 copy run is it for that title. It...

    Twilight Time indicates they will re-license some sold-out titles. BREAKING!

    I do have a problem with TT re-releasing titles IF they go from bare bones discs to ones suddenly having bonus features where there previously were none (Fright Night.) You sell titles under the guise of it being a "limited edition" where only 3000 copies will be available to buy and once...

    Shout Factory Press Release: Clive Barker's Nightbreed The Director's Cut Limited Edition

    My amazon pre-order for the limited edition also says "not yet shipped" even though when I first pre-ordered it, it was listed as "pre-ordered." Also the LE no longer shows up on amazon when you search for it and there is no longer a product page for it even if you try to click on the title from...

    "No Holds Barred" (Hulk Hogan movie) coming to Blu April 1st

    I thought this would be one of those movies that'll never see the light of day again after VHS then one day I found the DVD on a Wal-Mart shelf so I bought it instantly (guilty pleasure to be sure.) Never thought it'd get a BD release until BAM they just announced it the other day for April 1st...

    Green Lantern The Animated Series coming to Blu March 18th

    Warner Archive is happily releasing the entire series (all one season of it) for Green Lantern The Animated Series on Blu-Ray March 18th!! Though it was cancelled FAR FAR too soon at least it will get the proper HD release it always should have gotten (unfortunately I bought both volumes on DVD...

    Anyone have problems playing "Dredd"?

    read from a few places that there was a bad batch of discs.....just curious if there's some way to tell between the bad and good ones.

    Anyone have problems playing "Dredd"?

    I just bought "Dredd" (the new one, not the Stallone version) and it flat out won't play in my BD player, even updated the player's software and nothing. The on screen message says "cannot operate this disc" and the message on the display of my player says "unknown." I looked at the disc and...

    Taking stock of M.I.A. Paramount Blu-rays...

    I would LOVE for WB, Paramount, *anyone* to release "Brain Donors" on Blu-Ray, a modern version of classic Marx Bros comedy starring John Turturro.

    "The Devil Rides Out" - US BD release news?

    classic Hammer film "The Devil Rides Out" is, last I checked, available on Blu-Ray in other countries but not the US. Has anyone heard any news about a possible US release?

    Freddie Mercury tribute concert coming to BD 9/3/13

    http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=11507 Basically the old VHS re-issued on DVD and BD and no, it is NOT the complete concert but it's still far better than the previous DVD.

    Sony Archive MOD

    I see "Switching Channels" (Burt Reynolds, Christopher Reeve) is now on DVD through Sony's MOD but Son'y site gives no tech info and amazon lists the aspect ration as 1.33(!) Has anyone bought this and can confirm whether this is indeed full screen (hope not) or widescreen?

    Gladiator BD exchange

    I finally bought "Gladiator" on Blu today, remembered the hoopla surrounding the quality issue and thought I'd have a look through various threads and I keep finding confusing points. One person says that as long as "2 disc set" is NOT on the packaging, you have the remastered version. Another...

    Warner Brothers: Please release a COMPLETE set of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" on Blu-Ray

    Oh I'd expect a DVD release for the second half too BUT I'm hoping WB gives the show a proper send off and release the whole series on Blu-Ray.

    Warner Brothers: Please release a COMPLETE set of "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" on Blu-Ray

    The only reason I ever watched Cartoon Network the past year or so was to watch "Green Lantern: The Animated Series." Sadly, the network has cancelled that excellent show (even though there is a vocal and on-going campaign online to save it.) WB released season 1 part 1 on DVD only which made me...

    BREAKING NEWS: Warner Archive Collection Announces First Blu-Ray Releases

    I remember when I first posed the idea of Blu on demand in a Twilight Time thread and nobody thought it'd happen for quite some time....HA, HA I say! Anyway, I guess this'll be the only way "Return of the Living Dead part II" gets a BD release.
