    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Poor Things -- in Blu-ray

    Probably yes. I can't understand the logic of this lack of an immediate 4K release. Some people will hold out and wait for a possible 4K = no sale in the short term. Others may just give in and buy the Blu and then not bother to upgrade to 4k if/when it becomes available = no sale for a 4k at...

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

    Did it flop? I thought I read somewhere that it played for over a year in one London cinema. So whilst the critics may have panned it, the public were more keen...... (and it would be 'the public' that would buy a 4K disc...)

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Maurice -- in Blu-ray

    Not in my copy! In 1960 Forster added a 'Terminal note' stating that friends who had read the manuscript wanted an epilogue. He tried and toyed with the idea of Maurice and Alec becoming woodcutters in the forest, but it wasn't well received. He acknowledged this and the fact that this would...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Maurice -- in Blu-ray

    It did! and I just re-watched it again last night, prompted by a circuitious nudge. I've just finished reading Douglas Stuart's 'Shuggie Bain' and 'Young Mungo' and in doing a bit of research online, found that 'Maurice' is one of Stuart's favourite books, 'along with the imagined sequel 'Alec'...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The English Patient -- in Blu-ray

    Here we are over 13 years on and, having watched the Blu again last night, I think it's time for a 4K release of this, if not a 4K box set of ALL of Anthony Mingella's films. Intelligent, well crafted and beautiful to look at.

    At the risk of de-railing this thread (sorry) have you guys seen the video to this new PSB single? - very bold for pop song marketing....

    Gay-Friendly Blu-rays

    Yes, a real thought-provoking piece that is exceptionally well played by all four of the cast.... Pet Shop Boys have just been talking about the film on BBC Radio 2 and have premiered their new single 'Loneliness' - how appropriate!

    Gay-Friendly Blu-rays

    Just finished watching 'Fellow Travelers'... I agree! The American History Lesson perhaps was not as familiar to me as some, but the relationships worked through in these 8 episodes (with moving time frames) gave it real impact. It made me reflect on some of the relationship decisions I've...

    Gay-Friendly Blu-rays

    The use of 'Murder on the Dancefloor' in the film has sent this track back into the UK top 10! Now described as the 'Kate Bush effect' after 'Running up that hill' was re-released following its use on 'Stranger things'

    Gay-Friendly Blu-rays

    Just watched ‘Nuovo Olimpo’ on Netflix. Connections, longing and truth handled with affection. It also has an excellent (and appropriate) final scene, so hang in there! Thoroughly recommended.👍

    Saltburn (2023)

    Will, thanks for dragging yourself away from the screen to answer this! :) For me, the green flash was as though someone had walked in front of the camera and because it happened a few times, I began to think it was intentional. Very strange.

    Saltburn (2023)

    An interesting take on desire and obsession. Unsettling and thought-provoking in equal measure. I've read that the final scene was not what was originally planned - I think what is now there is much more appropriate. (;)) It may be my internet connection, but my TV screen had a number of...

    Pet Shop Boys appreciation thread

    My replacement Blu Ray from 'Smash' arrived today. I checked out to see how the nudity on 'Being Boring' was censored on the first issue and then included on the new and replaced the discs back in the packaging (the 'old' can just about be squeezed into the box) As I have said earlier...

    £14.99 on Amazon... I bought the standard edition as Christmas presents last year for two of my gay friends (in two long term relationships) and they all hated it! There's no accounting for taste, but it's sort of put me off wanting to re-visit it...

    UHD Review Oppenheimer 4K UHD Review

    I watched this for the first time on 4K disc last week and found it thoroughly entertaining. I came to it having seen the BBC series over the summer, so I knew a fair bit about the storyline(s). The documentary included as an extra ('To End All War: Oppenheimer & The Atomic Bomb') I feel is...

    Love, Victor (Hulu)

    It’s been made available (for free!) on our BBC IPlayer service! With the short episode lengths, I’m racing through them and am well on with series 2. It’s a very soapy, guilty pleasure and I like the ensemble characters probably more than Victor…! And sorry, teenage boys should be more into...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs -- in 4k UHD

    Well, the UK 4K release today might have 2023 stamped on the accompanying Blu Ray Disc, but it opens with an advert for 'The Frog and the Princess coming in 2010' .. Really? Does this mean we have the Diamond Edition? It has hardly any extras (certainly not the great list mentioned by Todd in...

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

    I've been re-reading Rowan's 'Making Ryan's Daughter' and note that on page 298 he states that MGM encourged Lean to shorten the film for wide release. IMDB only says that the Roadshow Overture, Intermission and Exit music were removed, but Rowan reports that 'about twenty minutes was deleted...

    I’ll give you a topic: Is Digital before Physical a Good Thing? Discuss!

    It certainly isn't! We finally gave up on our copper fixed line broadband that was delivering us 1.6mbps. We are now using a 4G router which is delivering us around 30mbps (for 5x as much money!) This is the fastest alternative we can find, but hardly 'superfast'..

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

    So stunning that you feel you are there. Over 25 years ago we were visiting Dingle, although before I had seen the film. We stumbled upon the 'commemorative stone' above Coomeenoole Beach, gazed out to the Blasket Islands, went down the ramp to Dunquin beach and also walked along the sand-dune...
