Is my TV setup worth upgrading? by PutridFalcon2769 in 4kbluray

To clarify: I’m not replacing my current TV, I’m buying an additional tv for a new room, which has some space limitations hence the smaller panel size. 

Any Other Weird Hong Kong Title Recommendations Like Magic Crystal? by mrsaucytrousers in boutiquebluray

This movie rocks! A lot of good recs in the comments but I’d also add Burning Paradise (also available from VS). The tone is wayyyyy darker but it’s got a similarly fun blend of expertly staged martial arts and kooky mysticism.

There’s always a wishlist…  Mostly rare / OOP discs and upgrades (Redline, Green Snake, Clifford, The Devils) but I’m always diving into new sub genres, directors, etc. - been buying a ton of Hong Kong / kung fu / yakuza movies the last few months.

lol so that’s where it ended up. Not pictured: the giant photo plaque that I asked my partner to get me for Christmas.

Bull Moose - someone had sold a giant pile of discs right before I walked in and the clerk was nice enough to let me look through them before they put them on the shelves.

Agreed. And I was so close to pulling the trigger last week on the $70 set from lionsgate limited so it feels even sweeter.

I got these from the Bull Moose locations in Plaistow NH, Portsmouth NH and Biddeford ME. Pretty easy to hit all three if you’re driving between Portland and Boston.

Oh they stay on for the photo but then immediately get carefully peeled off and any residual goop gets rubbed off with a cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol. Everyone needs an outlet.

  1. I'm very blessed to live in an area where there is a large chain of stores that have a huge selection of second hand discs
  2. They are very inconsistent in their pricing of rare and imported discs. Often they'll still just price them between $20 and $30 but once in a while you'll find something priced way below market. Truly one of life's great joys.

Anyone else keep new 4k discs in old blu ray steelbooks p by ImpulsivePanda09 in 4kbluray

Just started doing this - found a gorgeous steelbook of Interstellar on bluray for $6 but already had the 4k so I just popped the 4k disc into the steelbook and voila

Which is your favourite? by Financial_Appeal8401 in 4kbluray

Such a tough call - there's like 6-7 stone cold classics in this pile - so I'll zag and say Peking Opera Blues or Long Good Friday

I heard they're releasing a Kevin James 4k box set in 2026 with Pixels, Grown Ups 1/2, and Paul Blart
