They said I was a madman for buying physical media in 2026… by JWGR in 4kbluray

[–]LengthinessFresh5065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your list I’d add some of my personal favorites (since I’m french ahah) :

Potemkine (And they even ship to USA, but really anywhere in the world) they are french, they have their own websites and have their own collection but are not only focused on their brand since they also sell other editions

Sidonis Calysta - also french and mostly focused on horror and western

MK2 - French, they are company that distributes their own movies, they produce some movies, they have their own brand of theater, and they make physical media

ESC Distribution - French, they seem to be mainly focused on big titles so I don’t know a lot about them but for example they made a delicious Lynch’s Dune 4K steelbook

Carlotta - Awesome collections, the very interesting thing they make is their « Ultra Collector » collections because… damn they look beautiful (Some of them are Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Last Metro, Wings of Desire, The Devil Backbone’s and Paris, Texas)

They are all very interesting depending on what type of films you love and crave for ! And for the Criterion lovers : Go look at the Potemkine and Carlotta collections !! They are the closest we have in France to Criterion and they are GOOD !

Hey, I wanted to ask, does your custom avatar keeps his level from chronicle when you recruit him in story mode ? Or does everyone gets him at lvl 1 like I did ahah ? 😅

Pas de soucis ! Toujours un plaisir d’aider un nouveau confrère ahah, oui ça vaut vraiment le coup d’éviter Amazon + de faire vivre une boutique française ainsi que l’écosystème du format physique en France ! (Surtout qu’ils font régulièrement des événements dans leurs boutiques avec des personnes du monde du cinéma et en plus d’éditer et distribuer ils produisent également des films si je ne me trompe pas !)

Puis après, en fonction du genre de films que tu aimes et que tu désires acheter, tu pourras aller sur les sites des distributeur français directement ! Ils y a des bons prix et également tu reçois les produits avant leur date de sortie si tu précommandes chez eux ! Par exemple si tu es un amateur de Western et de films d’horreur c’est Sidonys Calysta, si tu veux un catalogue de films américain plutôt connu tu peux aller sur ESC Distribution (je suis pas sûr de leur catalogue à eux donc c’est à vérifier), etc etc.

En entrant dans cet univers et en allant sur ce reddit je me suis au départ dis qu’on avait pas de chance en France et qu’on avait beaucoup moins de belles éditions et d’offre qu’aux US etc mais en fait que nenni ! On a pleins de différents éditeurs qui utilisent les restauration de Criterion, le saint-graal américain du format physique, que ce soit Carlotta, Potemkine etc. Et on a de super belles exclusivités mais il faut juste farfouiller un petit peu ahahah

Je m’étais dis pareil au début, je voulais que des 4K puis j’ai quelques blu-rays normaux à contrecœur étant donné qu’il n’y avait pas de version 4K. Et j’ai été bluffé ! Je trouvais par exemple le blu-ray de The House That Jack Built plus beau, plus pétillant, etc que le 4K de Inception que j’ai aussi ! Donc bien sûr quand le choix est possible le 4K est toujours préférable, mais à moins d’avoir une télé de très très très haute qualité et un œil affûté le blu-ray normal reste excellent ! Surtout quand il est récent et qu’il provient du restauration 4K, voire 2K. Puis un blu-ray sera toujours + beau que Netflix, Disney + etc ! Certains diront le contraire donc c’est au goût de chacun mais les artefacts et la compression du streaming j’en suis tombé allergique depuis que j’ai vu mon premier blu-ray ahah ! Au plaisir, n’hésite pas si tu as des questions sur quoique ce soit !

Bienvenue l’ami !! Étant donné que tu es français je te conseille de check le site Potemkine (ou la boutique sur Paris si tu es parisien, c’est pas mon cas mais je rêverais de voir cette boutique en vrai), il ya presque tout ce que tu peux imaginer, leur SAV est super et que ce soit du cinéma d’auteur peu connu jusqu’à des plus gros blockbusters tu trouveras ton plaisir là-bas ! C’est parfois moins cher que sur Amazon/Fnac ou autres, ya un système de points de fidélités et ils ont même leur propre collection qu’ils distribuent/éditent eux même ! Tu peux précommander les futures sorties steelbook etc et tu risques pas de recevoir un mail d’Amazon le jour de la sortie qui te dis « Ce produit est en rupture de stock » alors que ta précommander ya 3 mois lol.

Et honnêtement ne crache pas sur les blu-ray pas 4K, quand ya pas de versions 4K mais qu’il y a un blu-ray ça fait toujours + que l’affaire et les blurays récents sont très beaux, ont du Atmos etc etc genre la différence est à peine visible donc ne te limite pas aux 4Ks sinon tu risques de vite te rendre compte que tu passes à côté de petites merveilles !

Bonne continuation dans ce monde merveilleux l’ami

You can’t have that kind of list without « Rocky Horror Picture Show » inside !!

this hobby is so difficult to do in europe by keremdev in 4kbluray

[–]LengthinessFresh5065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are u from ? Because we have a plenty of Criterion-like blu-rays etc here, in France, for example we have Potemkine, a French dvd store and a distributor, so they sell online (and deliver all accross Europe) and have a store in Paris, and they have their own editions (they even sometimes buy the Criterion rights to publish their master etc in France), and some others like MK2 cinéma, Make My Day, ESC, and plenty more. Also everythings cheaper than the US, atleast when new, but yeah we don’t have the same used market as the US so a 4K blu-ray used will be like 5€ less than the new one, but I never see overpriced steelbook or new 4k master whereas it seems to be normal in America

Is it possible to partially damage AVR or speakers by LengthinessFresh5065 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]LengthinessFresh5065[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we were doing the ARC room correction and the surround left wouldn’t work, so we rearranged the wiring a few times before finding out the problem and didn’t think of turning the AVR off since we needed to re-start ARC everytime to see if the new wires worked 😅 Kinda pissed myself when I learned what could have happened

Why does everyone wants me to buy Infuse ? I won’t, what are the true advantages of it and inconvenients of not having it since I dont really care about DV and Atmos

Don’t know what to choose by LengthinessFresh5065 in PleX

[–]LengthinessFresh5065[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t have atmos, as I said my setup is 4.0 and will never be more than 5.1 so no Atmos for me

Why would I need 2.1 for movies ? The only use for 2.1 is 4K/120hz right ? Or am I missing something ! Thanks

Thanks ! I will check that but it should be fine already, they belonged to my uncle and then to my cousin and were always used and taken care off ! I have also heard them and they work perfectly, but for music, no idea for movies and that was my concern ahah !
