KBear Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 October release: - fuck yeah!Got this on DVD. Will watch it soon, and then Chinatown after that. Looking forward to these two big time.I was checking Amazon to see if Drowning Mona had been released on BR. I remember it fondly. Apparently it has not been, but I found it kind of funny that they have a VHS copy in stock and it's priced at $0.01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 You need to get a regular blu copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Fair enough - I don't have that. I need to slow down right now though. I have so many movies on my shelf that I haven't seen yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 American Reunion is the latest Blu I've picked up, because clearly that's the one film that needed to be in high definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm in watching Pulp Fiction right now, and my God...it's like I'm seeing he movie for the first time. The sound, the picture transfer. I wish all movies had to be approved by their directors for a BD transfer. It really does live up to the hype of the transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you made it too clear, but you DO have to do that in store, as you can't online. Sucks, because the nearest B&N is like 30 miles away.Oh well though.

Becket Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just picked up Iron Maiden En Vivo on Blu. Looks and sounds awesome on blu. Much better then the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ugh, even though I own all of the films, and even two of them in steelbooks (going on three with Avengers is released), this is still very tempting:http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Marvel-Cinematic-Universe-Phase-One-Avengers-Assembled-Blu-ray/46675/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Couldn't help it - just pre-ordered these:Also, thinking about the Ghostbusters steel - http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71C02JDel7L._AA1186_.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBear Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks for mentioning Barnes and Noble. I didn't even know they ship to Cda, but went over there and they do. Good prices too, very competitive with Amazon.So I picked up two Criterion Blu Rays (because of Zint talking about them so much) and also The Usual Suspects. The two Criterion flicks are Gimme Shelter and Twelve Angry Men. $20 each for the Criterion stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 BS I see why you buy steels, Bluray cases are such cheap pieces of shit. Give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The eco-cases are definitely cheap pieces of shit. Some companies still use decent ones, but yeah, a number are shit.Steels are the best, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugachev Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Picked up WALL-E on steelbook, can't afford to buy many of those but I make exceptions for "exceptional" movies like that. Can't wait to pick up a few more. ^^ that Avenger's thing looks bad ass, I may have to pick that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Was it the US version of WALL-E? Yeah, those are quite expensive, unfortunately. I'd love to have those Disney steels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
