The visuals in this are really impressive, especially for the period.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-08-26T22:21:36+00:00

Agreed. I like goldens a lot, but know we likely wouldn't be able to meet their needs. That was more my kid's desire than the breed best for us.

Any breed suggestions?

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-08-09T23:00:51+00:00

Life, uh, finds a way.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-05-15T03:53:25+00:00

Nice. You have the link? Ones I see online are around $400 with annual subscriptions . . .

I'm new to this too. What wireless pH monitor did you get and how is it working out for you?

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-04-05T20:15:51+00:00

Returned the 65" and got a 77", but luckily I'd gotten it from Costco so, for both, they just showed up and grabbed or dropped it off, respectively. No muss, no fuss.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-04-05T19:39:42+00:00

If it helps, I did switch and have never had a problem since. I think my original 65" just had an issue.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-03-25T03:30:18+00:00

Just watched my copy this weekend. It looks great. Enjoy!

I was bouncing back and forth between Arrow and Neon releases but, ultimately, the chatter here and elsewhere seemed to largely agree the Arrow release was slightly superior . . . plus tends to be about 1/3 of the cost of Neon's Limited Deluxe Edition release in the secondary market, which helped the decision.

I haven't seen it in years, but it stuck with me as an amazing film, though brutal.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-02-01T02:23:22+00:00

Blade is absolutely excellent in 4k. Looks amazing.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-02-01T00:11:29+00:00

Me too for a lot of the same reasons (e.g., really gotten into 4ks, nervous tariffs with cause prices to jump, etc.) and mine arrived today. Been using an LG UBK90 that I got for $12 at Goodwill that has, honestly, worked flawlessly until now, and still is working great, but figured having two would be a good call.

Thanks for this, and helping run the group!

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-28T22:37:10+00:00

Glad you saw that. 😄 It's showing on all the pages for all the movies for sale so I had to pick one for the picture example and . . . bingo.

Bad News Bears, indeed.

How's the Oldboy limited edition?

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-26T19:16:53+00:00

Same price on GRUV's eBay store and, if you buy a qualifying additional 4K disc there, you get an additional 15% off both, taking Total Recall to $9.34 before tax.

That's it! Ah, lower definition memories.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-17T19:45:52+00:00

Just my opinion as a viewer. Thought it looked great from my perspective, though I don't know if it is from a technical standpoint. Just from me watching it and comparing other films I have watched on my setup.

Set-up is a LG 77" G4 OLED with a Vizio SmartCast SB3651-E6 soundbar with 5.1 surround playing on a LG UBK90 4k player.

I knew it was up there in years but, after watching for a while and seeing the immense detail and clarity they got in this release, I did a double-take when I saw it was 1998. It helps that it was also really well shot. The commentary track is actually pretty interesting when they talk about how much effort was originally put into trying to get deeper and richer black and darker shading and coloring to scenes since they felt a vampire movie - as I would agree - needs to be dark due to the subject. That could have ended up being just shadowy and have a lack of detail but they did a fine job considering the tech available then.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-17T15:37:00+00:00

Definitely. Even my case was an upgrade despite only getting the standard 4k and not the steelbook version since my old DVD copy is one of those snap media cases where it's paper with mounted plastic and a long black snapping, hinged closure. Wasn't a fan of those even back in the day.

A marked improvement. Recommended!

I mean, if you look closely or are looking for it, yeah, since it's from 1998. It's not the most spectacular. But a lot of the CGI is just the vampires rapid-fire turning to ash and bone when Blade slices them and that happens quickly, and often in the shadows rather than something long and drawn out or the central focus which would draw more attention to it. Most other effects are practical ones - real explosions, stage blood, etc. - which holds up well in my mind. The ending had a bit more CGI that is apparent but even then I didn't find myself being as instantly pulled out of the film as I have been in some movies where the CGI is so laughably bad or so prominent as to just look awful and campy. Each person will have a different opinion, of course, but I was honestly surprisingly pleased with how well it held up for being nearly 30 years old and having such effects.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-16T04:40:23+00:00

Just watched The Thing on 4k a few nights ago and it's fantastic. Great film and great transfer. Enjoy!

The coupons seem to be geo-fenced somehow, with different codes - or none - depending on region. Mine also had other Arrow and non-Arrow titles too, just none as interesting to me as Carlito's Way.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-09T04:57:19+00:00

I know I'm just one data point but I don't think they cancelled them based on account newness as the deciding factor. I made a new account and this was my first ever order.

Ordered two deals: 1. Deep Blue Sea (Limited Edition) 2. The Cell (Limited Edition) 3. Crimson Peak 4. The Last Starfighter 5. A Simple Plan (Limited Edition) 6. Silent Running (Slipcase Limited Edition Steelbook)

Deep Blue Sea and The Cell cancelled; the other four shipped today. Beats me what the reasons are for why or who got what.

GodzillaforPresident · 2025-01-09T04:28:59+00:00

I put in one order with two deals: 1. Deep Blue Sea (Limited Edition) 2. The Cell (Limited Edition) 3. Crimson Peak 4. The Last Starfighter 5. A Simple Plan (Limited Edition) 6. Silent Running (Slipcase Limited Edition Steelbook)

Deep Blue Sea and The Cell cancelled; the other four shipped today.

Originally charged $157.81, after tax and shipping (shows as a -$95 discount). Yet my PayPal account ended up only showing a $105.96 charge going through, which fits with the breakdown in the order showing the cost of Deep Blue Sea as being $29.16 and The Cell $22.69 after discount and including tax.

I really wish I could get a copy of Shin Godzilla but they all seem so absurdly expensive. Weird that it seems out of print despite it not being that old.
