Your latest DVD or Blu-Ray

[lcummins]

Lonnie, I can't tell what movie you bought. Do you have a bigger picture?

Opps! Sorry, I didn't really realize how big it was until after posting it... at least the board resizes it!

 

[IronFingaz]

NOOOOOOOO! I just posted it in case someone didn't see it.

I'm not like YOU!

Edit: I hope you know I meant "like YOU" meaning I don't buy every release like you seem too.

Well, you never know

I know what you meant

"Mayhaps you desire to challenge the ranking that I have been asigned by my strength and cunning..."

Oh boy, i like challenges! I am ever so good at... SQUIRELL!!!





Hi there. My name is Dug. My master has sent me on a special mission to find a bird. Have you seen a bird? I am looking for a bird because my master told me to find a bird.

Sanjuro
Yojimbo
Bigger than Life
M
Stagecoach
The Leopard
Red Desert
Mystery Train
Walkabout (maybe, I heard that the disc isn't manufactured right)
Days of Heaven
Summer Hours
Vivre sa vie

So yeah, basically any Criterion that is on Blu-ray which I don't have yet.

Nice list. Got most of them, though The Leopard is on my list too!

I think Criterion has fixed the Walkabout disc but i'm gonna check and i'll let you know. I'm thinking about putting it on the list

Thanks Weenie

Word is that the Barnes & Noble 50% Off sale runs from July 13-27.

Already working on a list of Criterion Blu-Rays i'm getting




You bought all of them?

Do the deals tend to rival Amazon ?

Which is Amazon's gold box deal of the day for around $38, isn't it?

Shoot, that Fraggle Rock discount was just for yesterday?

 

[Michael Crawford]

Yep, you have to watch for those Gold Box deals, as they only last a day or less.

 

[IronFingaz]

You mean be cheaper? I bet Amazon will price match a few movies but with the 50% discount, a Criterion Blu-Ray will be about $18, $14 if you got a B&N membership. But i'm not sure, this will be my first time

Looks like the re-release of Predator on Blu is a total bust. If you already have it, don't bother upgrading as many reviewers are saying there is too much DNR done to this movie. If you don't have it, it's a personal preference and you do get a free ticket for the new movie.

I must not have the eye for such things, because to me, the second picture (which is the newer version) looks better than the first.

Same. I'll take it. Looks good from those examples.

Me too, and I work in video and effects so I don't see a problem with removing noise from film as long as it doesn't remove details, which this doesn't. Noise can make things look more realistic, but if it's already real then it's not an issue. Plus things only looked more realistic with film grain because up to now you couldn't avoid it.

I don't know, but it seems this is the agreement on this one. They can't all be wrong.

I mean, also, keep in mind that many reviewers are using very large screens (as I use a 120" myself) and these things are much more apparent.

But even if not, take a look at this one, do we really think Arnie's forehead is that smooth ?

They're a few weeks old. I've made a couple of changes to the blu-ray collection (and added some movies, of course ).
