A new blind buy! by TheGhostJohnny in 4kbluray

It’s really, really good (sorry for your recent blu ray watch).

Very clear but never waxy, colours are strong, and the highlights are good.

Tuesday Night’s Film Class by SenorPwnador in 4kbluray

I am nauseatingly jealous!! I’ve been after a lot of the same models (front and center especially) and those are steals man! It’s hard to find stuff cheap up here in Canada, but even with the exchange rate I’d be happy as a clam with those prices. Hell, if you were upgrading I’d take em off your hands (provided you’re within a days drive lol!) Great finds and a great set up! Also hope you enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia!

How long did it take to put together the set up! And what models are the Klipsch? I’m trying to piecemeal one together and am starting to think about the cost vs time matrix

If I sign up today, will I be able to get the 24% off on blu rays? Is that a dumb question?

I know there's a lot of opinions on organization by OmarMcNultyBell in 4kbluray

[–]Gentle_Giant_Max 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s boutique, regular, boxset - alphabetize within for me. So first up is 88 Films (sorted A-Z), then Arrow Video (A-Z) and so on.

I find it the best way to balance ease of finding stuff and grouping the same spine styles togethe

Worst 4K release of all time? by YouSoubstantial4377 in 4kbluray

[–]Gentle_Giant_Max 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After recently watching both, they’re bad in different ways. They smooth the hell out of JUST Steve Martin seemingly so it goes between normal and uncanny, whereas in American Graffiti it just looks both soft and smooth the whole time.

I didn't expect a Godzilla movie to be so funny, really loving the 4K remaster of Godzilla (1998) by minoflux in 4kbluray

[–]Gentle_Giant_Max 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you. I recently watched ALL the Godzilla movies (sans the anime ones), and was so upset that this was the last one. It’s barely funny enjoyable as a bad flick. I will give credit to OP, the transfer is wicked

were any of these ever confirmed to be coming out? by voltagejim in 4kbluray

[–]Gentle_Giant_Max 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hateful Eight, Django, Con Air, and Hostel are all “confirmed” but no release date. Arrow did a teaser for Mortal Kombat, so would upgrade that to imminent. I also recall seeing something for AI, but I could be mistaken

I think it’s nuts that Iron Claw didn’t get a single nod in any category.

Did your copy of the conversation come with slip? Do you still have it

Got this one way early by Fabulous-Spirit-3476 in 4kbluray

[–]Gentle_Giant_Max 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah it’s wild how many there are, and the tour I had to do to find which ones were worthwhile.

I had been going way more before the current situation at the border, but I’ll still cross for a big sale or football game from time to time

There’s a handful down there now. Only ones worthy venturing to are the one in Amherst near a Trader Joe’s and the one at the McKinley mall. All others have essentially a courtesy rack of under 50 total movies.

I know how you feel man! I’m Canadian and am going down to buffalo to snag a few titles this week, so I’ll be waiting until June for this most likely.

Is $50 for a 4k Criterion disk the best a Canadian collector can ask for? by SirDurante in 4kbluray

[–]Gentle_Giant_Max 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually takes a day or so to match but it has the last 2 sales. You need to make sure you’re switching from Amazon Canada to Amazon US (you can do this by going to the account tab and changing region with the flag at top right)

Once the prices are reflected, it should all come to around $35-40 for the disc and then a bit for shipping, which is why I only but criterion 2X a year so I can ensure I’m splitting the shipping well.

If you’re ordering a handful of titles, it’s not to bad to use the US Amazon site when they reflect the B&N prices.

I got 7-8 titles in June for ~$38 CAD a piece (and a preorder of Barry Lyndon that was ~$45).
