Black Sabbath Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It's from Criterion, and they hardly ever mess up a transfer http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Traffic-Blu-ray/31501/I think it's more about how this movie was filmed and it's supposed to have that "grittier" look - I just wasn't a fan of it.

Ryan95 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Do you lot just buy blu rays just to have the latest hi def stuff? i have been reading this thread for a while now and for the prices you pay for just one film it's a little crazy. I mean it's not as if you tend to pick great films like me for example i have quite a few blu rays but i only get them for truly great films. You lot seem to just buy special tinned editions of just well awful films. I mean honestly total recall the new one? bourne legacy? there are others but i cant think of them at the moment. Just seems a little absurd to me kinda more money than sense. Edited November 7, 2012 by Ryan95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Well, I myself have nearly $5,000 wrapped up in my equipment, so I want the highest quality possible. And I've got over 200 movies, and I like every one of them and easily think they're all worth blu ray treatment.As for the steelbook stuff, like I said, I like all of the movies I own and if I blind buy a movie, steelbook or not, I'll sell it for most likely what I paid. Sure, I spend more on some movies, but that isn't always the norm. Not sure if you've seen the last picture I posted, but I take pride in my movies, especially my steels, and display them. It isn't for everyone, but everyone has their thing, and this one is mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 So as I thought I was done buying criterion blus for now, I got a 5 dollar reward zone certificate from best buy, so I had them price match night of the hunter and then used the 5 dollars off to get it for only 21 bucks.

dalsh327 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Just watched "Magical Mystery Tour", nothing really much to say about it except the print looks good and the commentary was okay, never saw that promo of "Hello Goodbye" before. How is "Charlie is my Darling" compared to "Don't Look Back" or The Beatles "First US Visit"? When it comes to documentaries and Blu Ray, you can't be picky, considering what they shot footage on at the time. At least we now have this, TAMI Show, and the Ed Sullivan DVDs for that period, because all you had out there was footage of fucked up Brian Jones.

AxlisOld Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) Wow, judging by Black Friday ads, I'm gonna drop some green on some Blu. Edited November 8, 2012 by AxlisOld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, some decent deals on BF.Gonna pick up The Amazing Spider-Man after work tomorrow.Thought about blind-buying the complete series of Entourage for $140 but decide to pass, or at least hold off. Just dropped $120 on seasons 1-6 of Dexter to finally add to the collection, so I'm good on TV series for awhile (even though I won't watch them for an even longer while ). I'll probably end up getting it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristmasFnatic Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 What ads are you guys talking about? Im from the Philippines, so I just get from Amazon(others like Walmart wont even accept my card). So any news on Amazon's BF deals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I recently for a PS3 so i might pick up a blu ray, see what all the fuss is about. Anyone got a film in mind that looks particularly good in the format they can reccomend me? Something good though, not fuckin' Lucases Cunt Wars, something decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Uh, i think so? When i got the PS3 my brother gave me this little flat screen LCD telly with it that he had lying around, i'm pretty sure it's HD-thingie-ey. Excuse my ignorance here, actually when i was buying the PS3 the guy at the shop was like asking me if the tv i was gonna use it with was HDMI ready and i called my brother and asked him and he said no so he didn't give me a HDMI cable with it but when we got round his we found out later that it was HDMI ready, is that like...something to do with what you're asking? Again, excuse my thickness on the subject. Edited November 9, 2012 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, it is. From what it sounds like you do have an HDTV, but you're gonna want an HDMI cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Cool, so i'm like, a cable away from being up and running? Nice one. It's just like...a scart lead basically innit? A posh scart lead that makes the picture better or something? Edited November 9, 2012 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yo BS, what would be the best version of Brave to get right now? I watched the movie last night and loved it! Oh, and Ted fuckin' sucks, so I cancelled my UK pre-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
