Well, my disappearance was fun, no? Back, trip over, actually read to respond to e-mails instead of letting them linger for days on end. I promise I'm here! List has been updated with the remaining Blu-ray stock, should anyone be interested.

I answered via PM, but just so everyone knows: Shipping is $3 unless you buy 'in bulk,' in which case I'll cover the costs. The first post has been updated with titles that have been sold.

In a somewhat related subject, I saw the remake tonight. The teen actors are hampered by some awful writing, but Jason is awesome. He's Steve Dash and Ted White with more brain cells.

I never would have noticed the cropping if someone hadn't mentioned it. The framing looks quite good to me. The biggest improvement is the sound quality. TrueHD Manfredini score is awesome.

Both not true. Saw II has all of the features from the Special Edition DVD. Also, and this is an easy mistake to make, the cut of Saw on Blu-ray is unrated. The box lists the R-rated theatrical version, but I assure you the film included on the disc is Wan's director's cut.

Now my high school is preserved in 1080p. Nifty.

Halloween isn't a good movie because Michael Myers is unkillable. Hitchcock's films all have worth outside of twist endings. They all have numerous points that build up to their well-deserved classic statuses. You said that I can't call Friday the 13th a bad film because the killer is...

Despite our disagreement on the first, I officially like you! Anyone who appreciates Jason Lives is okay in my book.

I disagree completely. I found the Marcy stuff to be incredibly dull. One of the reasons I like Part 2 so much is that it feels like the first done by a competent director. The characters are better, the villain's scarier, and there's a sense of excitement throughout the whole thing.

That's because it's a cheat. It's a whodunit that doesn't introduce the killer until act 3. It's literally impossible to guess the killer for the first 70 minutes of the movie because they haven't ever stepped foot on screen.

It's a really awful film, and yet I'm compelled to buy it. Glad to hear about the grain -- I found with Black Christmas that the abundant grain helped give everything a very film-like look. I'll get excited when 2, 4, and 6 hit Blu...

Halloween's my favorite 'big three' horror film, but Nightmare is definitely my favorite series. Even at its worst it was entertaining.

I think Nightmare 2 is a bit... odd. The pacing sucks and I'm not a fan of the lead, but I think Freddy's at his most evil in the film. I absolutely love the scene where he comes out of Jesse and kills Grady.

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...Format_Bow/170 It looks like both hi-def discs will feature the same core features, whereas the enhanced video commentary is exclusive to HD DVD.

I could accept Rachel's treatment if she hadn't been replaced by Tina. That's slapping you in the face, pulling out a knife and slicing your chest, and dumping an entire quart of salt in the wound.

This is my least favorite film in the series. Worst script, worst direction, etc. Halloween 4 is incredibly superior to it.

In all honesty, I was hard-pressed to tell the difference between HBO HD's OAR broadcast and the upconverted disc.

Probably because the sequels grossed more than the originals.

True, but it's also not much of a secret that Warner favors HD DVD, so it wouldn't be that surprising if they held once franchise back. Not saying it's going to happen (it'd be a stupid business decision), but it's a remote possibility.

The television only supports 480p/1080i. 720p looks something like three tall rectangles squished together. Interesting, to be sure.

Oi. A few months back I jumped into the upconversion department and picked up a cheapie Cyberhome 550. I know, I know... I get what I pay for. Anyway, I tested it at both 480p and 1080i levels. The 1080i looks fantastic -- much better color levels and a crisper, clearer image. There's one simple...

I don't know -- it wasn't quite as clear as I remembered it being the first time through. Dr. Sparrow says her soul was "consumed in the fires of resurrection," where it's only Wesley later who interprets that as being destroyed. So if another season were to magically come around, there was room...

Did they even film the Illyria fight scene? From the way it's shot and edited, it seems specifically designed to be a cut-away sequence.

If in the future Spike shanshus I'll be so mad I'll... so mad I'll... *sigh* I'll sit my ass down and wait for Angel to kick Captain Peroxide around.

I believe that language is called French :)

Regarding Shanshu, Spike wants it a little bit for himself, mostly to try and get Buffy to love him (remember the "No you don't, but thanks for saying it" comment in Chosen?). However, the big reason is that he simply wants to steal something away from Angel. Paraphrasing here...

I don't get the cracks against the audio quality. The range and use of the surrounds is superb.

You missed the point of it. It's not supposed to wrap up as cleanly and plainly as Buffy's 'Chosen.' The show's motto has always been the fight goes on, and you keep fighting no matter the odds or if you have a chance of victory, and that's what they did. It doesn't matter who lived and died...

Well, Angelus is my favorite Buffyverse character, so I'm a bit biased. But while there are definite Hannibal Lecter influences, I actually liked the fact that he was kept caged for a good while, able only to attack people psychologically. How he played on everyone's fears and relationships at...
