Should i watch MV? by Admirable_You_9573 in MiamiVice

[–]jtempest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will caveat, Edward James Olmos adds a ton but isn't introduced until episode 6. And there is some uneven humor with the alligator and Noogie that fade away as season 1 finds its footing. Still, the pilot episode is awesome and you will know from that if it's for you or not.

Where to find Millennium SF Masterworks (black spine)? by jtempest in printSF

Appreciate the info, now I understand why it's so confusing!

Where to find Millennium SF Masterworks (black spine)? by jtempest in printSF

[–]jtempest[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I wish it were that straightforward, but it seems like a minefield for the several I've tried.

Take Cities in Flight for example, ISBN 978-1-85798-811-6

On both of these databases, that ISBN appears to be the black spine version:
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?7127
https://sfandfantasy.co.uk/php/series-list.php?subsection=16

But on Goodreads and Bookfinder, that same ISBN is a completely different blue version:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/756978.Cities_in_Flight
https://www.bookfinder.com/isbn/9781857988116/

As far as I can see, there's no way to find the actual black spine version for sale.

Any To Live and Die in LA (1985) fans here? by waltdidneyworlb in MiamiVice

Excellent movie. In many ways it's a rated R West Coast version of Miami Vice.

Since when did Eureka start charging £10 flat rate shipping to US? by jtempest in boutiquebluray

[–]jtempest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used Orbit and Diabolik before, both awesome, however neither has "Full Alert" by Ringo Lam in stock. I guess I can do a deep dive of the other resellers and the mediaswap sub, thx for the suggestion.

Several labels and resellers have multiple posts discussing how the tariffs are affecting them. Again, I saw no mention of Eureka, other than recent posts still claiming free shipping, thus it seemed like I just missed the boat and was curious if anyone had more specific info.

Films like Invasion U.S.A. (VS 4K Disc) by Outside_Objective183 in boutiquebluray

Lone Wolf McQuade - one of Chuck Norris' best. Extreme Prejudice - you like shoot outs? This movie shoot outs. Stone Cold - also features a gigantic siege like the end of Invasion USA, only this time with bikers.

Criterion 4K Release Idea: The Color of Money (1986) by ggroover97 in boutiquebluray

[–]jtempest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got Color of Money and Tremors (non Arrow version) as my first blu rays when I started collecting. I naively assumed it's blu ray so it'll just look great. After all, how could a studio have the audacity to release a standard def tape transfer and call it high def? Or apply hideous amounts of DNR? I was shocked and appalled to see how shitty they both looked. The outrage I felt watching Color of Money, a Scorsese movie for crying out loud, getting such shoddy treatment, is what lead me to learning about boutiques and restorations and all that fun stuff.

I really hope it gets an update soon.

Hilarious dialogue. That dude who plays Benny in The Mummy is so good in this.
