The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

My Bodyguard? The one with Matt Dillon? Holy crap that literally has to be the first time in history that anyone has ever casually slipped that film into common conversation, lol.

Re: The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

When it comes to classic catalog titles I struggle perpetually with what exactly are the end results i’m looking for.

Modern movies by all means please make them sharp looking for me.

But do want my movies from the 1950’s to 1990’s to look pristine and super sharp or do I want them no sharper than 1080p or in some cases where sci-fi/horror is involved no sharper than 480p.

Do I want to preserve the low tech aesthetics from the era where they came from or do I need an authentic grindhouse kung fu movie to be 8K HDR to show details that were previously hidden?

Do I need Bill Murray’s Meatballs or My Bodyguard in era authentic 480p or modern 8K?

I don’t know lol

I'd say yes, (not about meatballs) because these films were originally shown in a format that is still superior to 4K.

Obviously, not every movie will sell in 4K, but I believe the ones I mentioned certainly would.

Run of the mill TV can peak at 1080p, and that's fine. That's the highest definition 99% of us watched it in.

Now that's a blast from my childhood past. Mostly remember it for running endlessly on HBO

Looked it up, never realized that was Adam Baldwin!

Or is it different Baldwin?

That’s it boys we lost another one to streaming lol

I'll still get physical copies of my favorite films just for the sake of having something tangible to collect and in case something wonky happens with "the cloud." But if digital is the best way to view the actual film then yeah I'll just hit the button rather than grabbing the disc.

I'll buy a physical copy of Alita one day but no rush for now.

Even Cannibal Campout was used first lol

Well 70mm is vastly superior to 4K but 35mm is 4K equivalent.

Very true have to go where the quality is at and if that means digital then so be it.

With audio I actually prefer the original release audio but video yes a snob lol

I am a video snob also... BUT I am fine with buying a 1080p Blu ray if there is no 4K HDR option.. Of course if AWIL gets released in that format I will buy it again

That’s it boys we lost another one to streaming lol

No Khev!!! Don't do it ​

Depends on my love of the film... Meatballs is not getting repurchased in 4K... Though I did repurchase it in 1080p, I don't need yet another version of that film. I don't watch it enough or need it to look perfect.

But I get what you are saying about those "grindhouse" looking films.... I find that I am usually happy with the Blu ray upgrades that films get. They usually still keep that cheap feel but without the burn marks and scratches.

I remember My Bodyguard being a good movie. "Hey Miiiiiiiiike" Bodyguard vs bodyguard -- come on....

Isn't that movie from Rudy era?

Re: The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

I guess it's an improvement over the movie posters, but what is it with FFH and ugly artwork?

Best Buy's Steelbook exclusive.

Since they're saying SMFFH is part of the Infinity Saga that means they won't announce a box set until at least the SMFFH blu-ray has been on shelves a few weeks in order to milk the double dippers.

I wonder if next summer would be too soon.

Has the official domestic release date been revealed for Spiderman yet I know that my 3-D version from Germany will be arriving in December but since it’s going to be a fall release I don’t think it’s too late to have a box set for the holidays.

Don't you think they'll hold off on even announcing the IS box set until after SMFFH has been out a while? If the box set gets announced soon for a Christmas release then a lot of people will just pass on individual SMFFH. Don't get me wrong I want the box set yesterday but I'm just trying to brace myself for a wait, lol.

I think there’s enough of a market were both can coexist I mean there a box sets always being announced along with individual releases from the same franchise.

Double posting this so nobody misses out...


Disney Movie Rewards has a big sale going on. I only looked through Blu Ray's and movie posters, but the discounts are significant. I bought a few 3D blu rays...

Planes 3D is normally 2250 points, on sale for 450

The Good Dinosaur 3D is normally 2000 points, on sale for 800

Jungle Book and Inside Out, both normally 2000 points, are now 1200.

There are more, but those are the ones I bought.

Good deal, especially considering you'll get 200 points for each when you register the discs

All 10 SW flicks supposedly getting new blu-ray releases with matching packaging next month (leaked cover art below). And then after TROS it's rumored that they'll all hit 4K (with TROS) in the spring.

Saw that the other day, but couldn't get art to load, so I wasn't sure if it was legitimate.

I'll be waiting for 4K.

And hopefully, original cuts

Yeah, thought of that. No crystal ball, so what can you do.

Normally I only use my points for movie posters, but I couldn't let this slip by.

With my luck, they'll have the TROS poster before I can generate enough points.

Would never have bought Planes 3D, but it was so cheap I couldn't resist. Hopefully my 4 year old will like it.

I dropped a lot of points, hopefully I don't regret it.

Well, I'll get 200 points when I redeem it, making the cost 250 points. If it entertains my 4 year old once or twice, it'll be worth it.
