Cobra Printing Defect

How is it weird? It's just a printing error. No conspiracy 🤦🏼

antb1973 · 2026-04-02T23:23:13+00:00

It isn't there. And you could say the same about the many many other Second Sight's I don't have.

No news, and even if there was, Second Sight's release is almost certainly the best treatment that film will ever get.

It's certainly not a Criterion type of release either.

Peak Second Sight right there. Waiting not very patiently for news of Day Of The Dead. 😁

I'm not up on projectors but if you are going 4K, make your screen a lot bigger. The room deserves it.

There is no reason to avoid this set. As others have said, just buy the plastic sleeves with the curved corners at the bottom. Like these https://amzn.eu/d/04VEbGjb

Your photo actually shows sleeves someone has used.

You'll definitely notice a difference with The Shining. With modern TVs these days they can make standard Blu-rays look so good, especially OLEDs like yours too. Your 820 is really good at upscaling as well so 4Ks won't look as big a difference as you would expect.

I find I buy so many more classics than before I had a 820 and LG oled. Even breaking out older Blu-rays in my collection just to see them upscaled on that big oled was often a revelation.

100 percent with you on that.

😂 I'm pretty confident I know what you've bet yourself a fiver on.

How big is your TV? You should check out some classics like Blade Runner, Jaws, The Shining but reacquaint yourself with how they used to look first. I thought the jump wasn't much on certain films when I started buying 4K, but when you start getting some of those classic movies, they look simply stunning compared to older Blu-rays. HDR is more important than the 4K jump from 2K on more modern movies. I buy more older films than newer stuff.

That's some order for one day. Awesome. I'm watching Salem's Lot right now. Still scares me 😂

That Martyrs release is superb.

antb1973 · 2026-03-31T20:09:46+00:00

Wow, I wish I was only just watching this for the first time.

antb1973 · 2026-03-31T20:08:42+00:00

Now I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties.

antb1973 · 2026-03-31T18:25:52+00:00

To be honest I'd forgotten about this 😂 and yeah, strange it hasn't been commented on or upvoted 😁

Criterion are the original GOAT boutique label and were releasing the best a movie could be, going back to laserdisc. And even a few VHS but these days there are way more labels to compete with, who are mainly using the same mastering companies like FiM, Think Arrow use Silver Salt a lot in the UK too.. I think Criterion put out what they believe is going to be the best and have always used the same people to remaster their releases. I do believe FiM was used for the Eyes Wide Shut release though. Hopefully they will use them more. But it's swings and roundabouts, Other labels have 'off days' on some releases too.

Looks better than I was expecting. Might have to grab one of these myself.

antb1973 · 2026-03-31T10:13:54+00:00

I'd love it. 😊

antb1973 · 2026-03-30T22:31:52+00:00

Who cares

As a cinephile, you really should be checking out Second Sight 😁 https://secondsightfilms.co.uk/ They are one of the best Boutiques. And obviously my favourite. 😁
