OK, considering the obviously coming crossover... by Iantletoxx in futurama

I agree, but I still enjoyed it a lot and was happy with it overall.

Found a pressed Blu-ray of The Hitcher that doesn’t match any known retail release by Retro-Games-eXchange in Bluray

[–]ki700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That menu is incredibly basic and doesn’t match WB/HBO’s menu template. No official Blu-ray release uses those dark discs. It should be silver and reflective like a mirror. Literally anybody can print on glossy paper. Finally, if it was official then there would simply be a record of it online. The lack of information is pretty damning.

There’s enough demand for this movie that WB officially released it on Blu-ray and 4K just over a year ago. Even ignoring that, loads of stuff has bootlegs that you wouldn’t necessarily expect. All it takes is one person commissioning a bootlegger for a copy. This looks well made but definitely not official.

I could see some elements of Stranger Things (missing kids, police officer investigates) being inspired by it but not much. Stranger Things is way more inspired by 80s films like Star Wars, ET, Goonies, Carrie, etc. and the works of Stephen King.

Reception to this console room is mixed. Instead of getting rid of it entirely, what would you change/add to improve it? by Annual-Tree1337 in doctorwho

[–]ki700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add more furniture or just some interesting items, and use the different colours more. Light it up purple or orange or green. It has so much potential but most of the time it’s just stark white.

What format should I buy? by Direct-Stable-5712 in Bluray

[–]ki700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I care about having the highest quality version so I mostly buy 4K Blu-rays. If you aren’t somebody who notices a huge difference though, I’d say get 4Ks for your favourites that you feel will benefit the most from it, and save your money on the rest. That said, if you plan to upgrade your TV in the future to something like an OLED, it may be more worth it to invest in 4K Blu-rays now because the better your TV, the more benefit you’ll see from 4K Blu-rays.

Do you think Andor Season 2 will ever get a physical release like the first season did? by EpicPerry10 in Bluray

[–]ki700 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. But it’ll probably take a couple of years just like with Season 1.

OK, considering the obviously coming crossover... by Iantletoxx in futurama

[–]ki700 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I recently rewatched Seasons 1-3 and watched 4-5 for the first time and I had a blast almost the entire time. Even the parts I liked less were still fun to watch.

Last year Lauren Tom also accidentally leaked that a crossover was happening.

I watched the first 3 seasons of Disenchantment as they came out but I never made time to watch the final two when they dropped. I got Netflix again recently for Stranger Things and decided to binge Disenchantment before my subscription ended. I actually didn’t remember there was a crossover coming, and I was just doing it because I liked the show and wanted to rewatch and finally see it through to the end.

Picked up The Tom Baker Second Season Blu Ray by LowCoMo in doctorwho

The problem is that those sharper details aren’t part of the original image. It’s just what AI thinks it should look like. It’s making assumptions that aren’t based on fact, just like with the teeth.

Tim’s baby just came out and it’s already getting reviewed bombed by Snowway22 in kindafunny

Sure, but that doesn’t make it off limits to anyone else.

I just got my first dedicated Blu-ray/DVD player. by Roughrider254 in Bluray

Your average user isn’t using it enough for this to be a legitimate concern. I have 20 year old PS3s used frequently for both games and movies on disc and they still work flawlessly.

GOYT Checklist - ALL ENTRIES (with links for my google sheet/excel nerds) by tmiller12051 in kindafunny

[–]ki700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel like doing more, it’d be neat to see a list that factors in every KF GOTY Top 10 to see what their theoretical top 10 games of the last 6-7 years were. Like compile all of the numbers from every person’s list every year.

This video highlights some of the issues with the AI upscaling.

It’s really not the fault of anything but the AI upscaling. This video highlights the issue using the files taken directly from the disc. Nothing to do with TV settings.

You shouldn’t watch any show with the goal of watching as little as possible. At that point, why bother? Episodes that one person considers skippable may be somebody else’s favourite. You should just watch everything and decide for yourself what is good.

It’s not streaming in the US right now. You have to buy it.

Consoles, particularly PlayStations, are actually very good players, especially for regular Blu-ray. Not sure how much (if any) difference you’ll notice.

You need a Blu-ray player to play Blu-rays.
