    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Abyss -- in 4k UHD

    I pre-ordered mine on Amazon forever ago but I guess I didn't get my order in early enough. Doesn't look like it'll ship out soon.

    The Last Blu-ray/UHD Blu-ray You Watched

    Watched Neverending Story blu yesterday. Not sure but I think it's a 2013 release. I was thinking about its 4k potential but I dunno...it's loaded with dense process shots and all those swirling smoke effects. Might look worse in 4k. This old blu itself looks pretty good though.

    RYAN’S DAUGHTER: Discussions for a BD Release (2015 - 2024)

    Hear hear. She was just trying to get attention for herself. If anything, the endless internet pundits of Youtube today are 10X worse than the Pauline Kaels of this world. And that's all they want--clicks.

    RYAN’S DAUGHTER: Discussions for a BD Release (2015 - 2024)

    I didn't think it was boring. It is long but it isn't boring. It made money. The critics were busy sniffing their own ink.

    Kill Bill 4K

    I'm happy with my existing blus of both volumes. Want the Whole Bloody Affair or I'll pass.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Poseidon Adventure -- in Blu-ray

    I don't know, but my Poseidon Adventure blu also freezes now. I'm probably going to throw it out. Just waiting on a 4k anyway.

    Multi-part review of the Classic "Planet of the Apes" films (1968-1973) on Blu-ray

    I have the big blu-ray set from ages ago. Personally I would love to see the first movie on 4k. It's a time-honored classic and deserves the royal treatment. But the rest are just...sequels. And don't have a lot of replay-ability for me, and sounds like a lot of other forum members. We'll see...

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Glory (1989) 35th Anniversary (4k UHD SteelBook)

    122 minutes? For some reason I misremembered this as a 3 hour epic. I guess I'd better buy it.

    Variety article on demise of DVD: estimates sales will fall below $1B in 2024

    Whatever. This same article comes out about once a month. It's over when it's over.

    Mr. Bug/Hoppity Goes to Town on Blu-ray?

    I was always rooting for Thunderbean to get this title, but Kino will be just as good. I don't know why this movie, particularly, has been such a whale all these years.

    Protective Sleeves for steelbooks?

    Honestly, I don't go fancy. I just keep mine in regular comic book bags. The steelbook fits in fine and you can wrap it around. I also use it for dvds that I've had signed.

    Warner Archive Press Release: The Opposite Sex (1956) (Blu-ray)

    I figured they'd recall it. They recalled Victor/Victoria for less.

    Press Release Scream Factory Press Release: Lost In Space (1998) Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

    I'd rather hold out for a 4k. Every time I buy an "upgraded" blu these days, the 4k comes along in a year or so.

    HTF AWARDS 2023: VOTE: Worst Packaging 2023

    The Exorcist 4K packaging was so bad...in fact, I was going to a fan event right after the 4K came out and I was gonna have Linda Blair sign it, but then I thought--nah. She signed this instead:

    LOTR credits go on forever because they printed the names of all the fan club members. (Has anyone actually ever let it run?)

    Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount in merger talks

    The bigger the company, the less chance there is for someone to really care about its assets. That's why Disney doesn't know wtf to do with Star Wars and Marvel right now.

    Will Around the World in 80 Days ever get a special deluxe edition like The Wonderful World of The Brothers Grimm?

    I've actually been wondering about that for years. Thank you for clearing that up. In the past when this came up, the forum members were convinced that the negative had turned to pink, we didn't know much more. I applaud your efforts and hope this progresses.

    Press Release BVHE Press Release: Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny (4k UHD Combo) (Blu-ray)

    This comes out in a few days. Do you think I should hold out hope for a 5 movie collection? They seemed to have no problem putting out the 4-movie pack a few months ago, even tho' Disney is not known for compilation sets. Has anyone heard of an eventual 5-film collection?

    Pre-Order South Pacific (1958) 65th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I've always heard that the filters were placed over the physical camera lens and were not done in post.

    Pre-Order South Pacific (1958) 65th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I think the whole movie was miscast except for Juanita Hall. And the obvious problem there is they didn't let her do her own vocals, which just kills "Bali Hai." Her own vocals would have been just fine. I don't like Brazzi at all; may I suggest Louis Jourdan?? I don't see him playing...

    Press Release Lionsgate Press Release: The Hunger Games (2012-2015) Walmart Exclusive Steelbook (4k UHDbCombo)

    I just realized they actually have some of the dvds behind glass and I never look in there because it's mostly old tv shows that I don't need. Maybe they hid Hunger Games in there...

    I still don't quite understand what happened to the TODD-AO version. Did the negatives fade?

    Best Buy To Exit Physical Media Business In 2024

    My local BestBuy has basically become an appliance store. They already have no dvds. Not even the Disney 100th steelbooks. There is another BestBuy about 10 miles from here that still carries dvds but there is only one long row of shelves and it is getting sparse, they are very obviously not...
