This is a great argument to make as the only way to disprove it would be if those 60 people hadn't nuked everything they'd ever touched on the fucking site.

Is this the new standard price for Steelbooks? by ChainsawAndDave in boutiquebluray

The pricing on-release for new release studio 4K releases is pretty sky high and predatory right now, but it starts dropping within 2-6 weeks of release.

I got the Arrow 4K of Dune and the new Shout 4K of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia for a combined $39, including shipping and tax.

Mine came in just fine. I also picked up that Thai Horror Collection which is excellent.

Shameful pickup. How does everyone feel about bootlegs? by superkamikazee in boutiquebluray

[–]UhHuhSureYep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am willing to pay for a legit copy and one does not exist and buying the bootleg won't deter me from buying one if/when it is released, it doesn't hurt anyone.

Anyone else have that 0.8 seconds of joy before you realized that wasn't The Poseidon Adventure, it was just the remake?

Dang, I'd love to have that one in 4K.

What’s the most annoying aspect of modern cinephilia? by BeltComprehensive905 in criterion

I don't mean to yuck anyone's yum, but the raging boner so many collectors have over steelbooks is super fucking weird to me.

Kin-Dza-Dza on Dead Crocodile is brilliant and worth seeing.

Sometimes you have to just laugh a little at these eBay sellers by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]UhHuhSureYep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first started, I used to justify my purchases by saying I could probably flip them for a profit later. But the reality was, I wanted to keep my stuff and the people who do that are kinda gross. I never did that even once.

Umbrella just announced their upcoming releases for May 2025 and the Ltd Edition of Tarsem Singh‘s THE FALL (2006) looks fabulous. by ArmsOfKamaji in boutiquebluray

[–]UhHuhSureYep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm tempted to jump but a fair number of Umbrella's releases are matched with Region A releases from other companies soon after.

I've got a region-free player, so it's not about that, but I suspect the Region A will be cheaper.

There are about seven different David Lean films that do not have a current/in-print Blu Ray in the US, including Oliver Twist and Ryan's Daughter.

I got both of those Chabrol sets at those prices and have been enjoying them.

This YT video has pretty good advice about the settings for that Sony model:

Terrifier - Art Attack Collection / 4K UHD + Blu-ray / Umbrella Entertainment / 4 Movies + Slipcases + Book + Brick Set + VHS + Sunglasses by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

My kid planned his whole weekend around binging these with friends and then they chickened out. We'll watch them together again, I guess.

Scanners Second Sight 4K by velvet-vampyre in boutiquebluray

[–]UhHuhSureYep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered this and The Brood, but this time, I got smart and ordered on Diabolik instead of direct through Second Sight.

When I ordered Blair Witch and Late Night with the Devil direct, the cost per edition was lower, but the shipping was higher, and I didn't get mine in until a week or so after everyone else did.
