What have you seen or own on Blu-ray?

[ATRAIN]

What do you recommend as a must have?

I have:

3:10 to Yuma
No Country For Old Men
Apocalypto


I have seen (but wouldn't buy):

Gone Baby Gone
We Own the Night
Resident Evil: Apocalypse

I was thinking about getting 300 and The Departed on Blu-Ray. I am going back and forth with 300 since I already have it on dvd. Amazon.com has pretty good prices and shipping is free over 25 I think so if I order those 2 together it will be cheaper than in the store.

[midgetonadonkey]

I have Spiderman 3 because it came free with my PS3. It looks amazing. Too bad it couldn't make the movie better.

LMAO tru dat

[balli]

I thought 300 actually looked kind of shitty. I think it was so digital that blu-ray exposed it's flaws. I actually suggest you get BBC's Planet Earth. Right now amazon has it for like 50% at $47 so the whole series is only about $17 more than feature length film. That should be every blu-ray owners number one priority even if it cost like $200.00. By far the best thing I've purchased for mine. I'd also suggest I am Legend.

My problem with blu-ray is that I just gave up on DVD's, bought an Archos 605 (www.archos.com) (which kicks your ipod's ass BTW) and just started stealing AVI's. The prospect of actually paying for movies again is just fucking with my head. I look at those $30 price tags and knowing I could have it for free in AVI makes me not even buy them. Like I said though, planet earth was totally worth it.

[NASpurs]

If you don't have Planet Earth on Blu-ray then you don't have shit. It's worth the $80 that I spent on it a few months ago.

[balli]

How much is the battery life on that thing when watching videos? Man that thing looks awesome.

Dude I will shit you not. I paid $500.00 for it and I think it's worth $1000. The best thing I ever bought. Stand alone- The battery holds up for 3-4 hours on videos about 12 for music. The thing is; it has a docking station that hooks up to your TV so you can play stuff on it, record from your TV or wirelessly stream stuff from your computer to your TV. It also has a fully functioning web browser so you can surf the web on your TV and play youtube/flash on your TV. The station charges it so if you use it in conjunction with said TV the battery never dies. Also has a touchscreen.

Also, it doesn't have software. It just hooks up to your computer as aUSB device. It records in AVI so after you record Jazz games it takes about 30 seconds to transfer them to your computer. Holds up to 160 Gigs. other models with less capacity available. Start saving then go buy one.

[florige]

I just now bought AVP Requiem. Haven't watched it yet though. First ever BluRay purchase.

DUDE why did you buy that movie for? I havent seen it but the previews make it look horrible too.

No matter what you do don't get an HD DVD player. I don't know if stores are being evil and selling them still, but the format's dead. Unless you meant HD DVD in reference to Blu-Ray, which I think you did.


On an unrelated note: I don't think Gone Baby Gone would be a movie that benefits from blu-ray, but I thought it was just an awesome flick.

Yeah I want whatever game system won the High Definition DVD war.

So thats Blu-Ray, right? And Blu-Ray is PS3?

[balli]

Yessir, PS3's the one. Although I heard through the tech-blog grapevine that Microsoft is grudgingly accepting the idea of putting blu-ray in their x-box 360. It's just rumor, but I'd bet 360 is supporting blu-ray by the end of the year.

[Evan]

cool thanks.

[midgetonadonkey]

Actually I just remembered that I have a few more blu-ray movies. I have The Patriot, Full Metal Jacket, The Omen, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Devil's Rejects. Those also came free with the PS3.

I didn't get crap when I brought mine! How did you manage to get 6 free Blu-Ray movies with yours?

[florige]

DUDE why did you buy that movie for? I havent seen it but the previews make it look horrible too.


It was alot better that AVP. It was the first movie I wanted since getting BluRay. So I figured it might as well be a BluRay movie. Just to see how the quality is.

[AlamoSpursFan]

I have:

Casino Royale
The Departed
3:10 To Yuma
Robocop

The kiddo has:

Ratatoullie

My problem with having a Blu-Ray (PS3) is that now I don't want to buy anything on plain ol' DVD anymore. Even if it's an old movie that I know Blu-Ray wouldn't help.

Oh, and the scene in Robocop where ED-209 malfunctions and turns that dude into hamburger sounds SO much cooler in surround sound...

:lol

[midgetonadonkey]

I didn't get crap when I brought mine! How did you manage to get 6 free Blu-Ray movies with yours?

I bought mine in January of this year and the package I purchased came with Spiderman 3 in the box. I was told about the other 5 free movies when I bought the game system. I had to go to a website and print out a form and send it out for the others. It took 2 months for me to get those.

[atxrocker]

do they make blu ray porn discs yet?

[CuckingFunt]

Ummm...yes.

Crystal clear ass acne and labiaplasty scars are definitely in the TMI category, as far as I'm concerned.

[sa_kid20]

I've only seen Spiderman 3 beacuse it came with my PS3. I wanna get some more movies though because they look amazing.

[Barbarian]

Does the quality of blu ray show on a regular tv or do you need a hd tv?

[KEDA]

You need a 1080p HDTV to really experience the Blu-Ray to its highest potential.

[ChuckD]

I just bought a Samsung dual format HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player on eBay. It is a factory refurb, 90 day factory warranty, and was $359. I don't own any Blu-Ray discs yet. I'm filling in my collection with HD-DVDs and will buy new releases on Blu-Ray and stuff by the two studios that never released HD-DVDs. You can get both at places like CD Exchange or off eBay for reasonable prices.

BTW, I agree about Planet Earth. It's fucking amazing in HD.

Another thing I have found is that the quality of upscaling of regular DVDs varies wildly. Some stuff looks like it was mastered from a cell phone video theater bootleg (Spurs videos and anything Trek related), and some stuff actually upscales to 720p, which looks pretty damn good for regular DVD prices. The Matrix box set and the Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis series all upscale quite well.

[AlamoSpursFan]

You mean it gets better?

Looks pretty damn good on 1080i, IMO.

[balli]

Looks pretty damn good on 1080i, IMO.

Depends on the movie, but with Planet Earth for example I actually noticed a pretty big difference between the 1080i Discovery broadcast and my 1080p blu-ray. It's crazy that it could get better, but it's true.

[Fpoonsie]

Didn't wanna start a new thread for this bit o' Blu-Ray news, but it was just announced a week or so ago that Tombstone and Armageddon will be released in April. It's about fucking time.

As to the OP's topic, I just got my 100th blu-ray last night: The Godfather: Sapphire Edition.

I just bought the Blu-Ray movie "Digging up two year old threads like a fucking moron".

It really is. I bought a PS3 over a year and a half ago, and the wait for that one KILLED me. It was the first thing I thought of when considering what movies could potentially rock my face off in HD. It didn't disappoint.

I'll pass on watchmen. All I hear is that a blue Wang is swinging to and fro and I don't need better resolution for that.

How is that skynet edition? I have the normal edition. Is it worth it to get this one. I'm a big fan of this movie. Does it have both versions of the movie?

I really want to get this is it. How are the extras? More music performances or interviews?

Also, how did you get HD content in your ps3? Via wifi or USB flash drive? I ask cuz I tried downloading the matrix but it gets in a loop of sorts and downloads twice the data compared to the size of the actual file. It was an 8 gb movie. I have a ps3 slim. I don't know if there's a size limit for downloads. I'm thinking I may just need to get a bigger USB flash drive.

[lefty]

Dark Knight

The latest Fast and Farious

The latest Underworld

On my PS3

[The Gemini Method]

I think the best blu-ray movie I have in my collection right now would have to be District 9. I don't have many in my collection (6), but out of those that movie looks immaculate on the BR.

I definitely wouldn't want my porn in blu-ray HD...

I'm not sure what's in the normal edition of T2 but you get quite a shitload of features like the theatrical and special edition cuts (15 mins more footage), 6.1 DTS, Picture-in-picture of behind the scenes video, text commentaries and multimedia galleries, Storyboard-script mode,interactive quizzes and games, commentary with cast, commentary with director, and a bunch of internet feature you can DL on your PS3 with BD-Live. You probably want that one if you're a big fan.

I watched This is It in theater, haven't had a chase to explore the BD in depth. The sound in my HT is great though, the video is great as well (except scenes that were originally shot in low-res). I can't speak about the extra cuz I haven't had a chance yet.

The PS3 only supports FAT32 file format (not NTFS), so the largest size of a file you can have is 4GB. I use mkv2vob to re-mux a MKV HD file into a VOB, split in 4GB files. I takes about 10 minutes to do.

I use a flash drive to transfer it over. An alternative (what a friend of mine does) is buy an external USB drive formatted FAT32 and just play your collection of converted HD movies from there.

[resistanze]

BTW, for fans of Watchmen, the Ultimate Cut Edition interweaves the story of the 'Black Freighter' into the movie. It's pretty awesome, as the comic is narrated by Gerald Butler. Overall, the movie ends up being 3.5 hours.

I have a 400 GB external USB drive I store all my shit on. I should probably just offload all my shit onto my 1 TB desktop drive and use that for my PS3 HD movies.

Just another heads up, amazon.co.uk has some pretty kickass deals of BDs, usually region free. You can get the Bourne/Matrix Triolgies for $30, Shawshank/Goodellas/etc. for about $12.

And when the fuck is BTTF coming out on Blu-Ray?

I don't care what your trouble is. You're telling me you're surprised that a Sony console doesn't support a proprietary Microsoft file system, I don't see what's so surprising about that, which is my fucking point. The PS3 also didn't support WMA's or WMV's (VC-1) initially.

[resistanze]

I've lost track of this thread but I will say that a nice Blu-Ray rip is indistinguishable from a BD. I actually downloaded Watchmen days before getting the Ultimate Collection for dirt cheap, and I couldn't tell the difference between the two, even though I was comparing a 720p mkv rip to a 1080p BD. The Fight Club mkv downloaded OTOH looked like crap.

[Mark in Austin]

Right now the ones I think look the best that I own are:

Planet Earth
Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut
Casino Royale
Kung Fu Panda
Dark Knight
Star Trek

My two favorite sequences right now are the Hong Kong IMAX footage from The Dark Knight and the first chase through the construction site in Casino Royale. Those crane jumps are just insane.

I just got Heat, The Hurt Locker, and True Romance; but haven't been able to watch them yet. I have high hopes for the transfer on all three.

I don't own ANY Blurays because they are too expensive. I just rent from BB online for blurays and that's all I ever see movies in nowadays.

One thing that pisses me off about Bluray at BB is their selection. It's ONE little half a column of shelves. Really? In this day and age of high def and everyone jumping on the bandwagon... I have the selection of .01% of shelf space? GTFO

It depends entirely on each individual store's size and inventory. I work at the BB in Hickory Creek and we have 3 bays of Blu-Ray new releases on the wall, and then 3 aisles of Blu-Ray "favorites".

They also have a lot more online, but I'm assuming you already knew that.

Own:
Dark Knight -must have no need to explain.

Star Trek - one of the best video quality out there and extras that come with the movie are very good.

Transformers 1 and 2 - the second one has got a few scense's shot in Imax (the scene where Prime is fighting 4 decepticons at once is amazing) but the first has the better extra fetures.

Gladiator - picture was not as good as my others but it comes with the extended version of the movie that had new scene's that filled some holes in the story

The Matrix - Impulse buy! The picture and audio good were up to standard, but the extra features had the same ones that came out with the original DVD ten years ago. Man bullet time has aged.

Wolverine - should have just saved my money and got the DVD. The picture was good but the movie overall was not that great and the extras were kind of weak.

Up - one of the best movies of the year and the picture looks amazing. The extras were good and you get a dvd copy along with the standard digital copy. A must have.

The Hangover - probably could have got it on DVD because the extras were the same and they were kind of weak anyway.


Terminator Salvation - One of my regrets. The picture was up to standard not amazing. Comes with alternate versions of the movie. The extras are nothing to cheer about.

Others that have pretty much the standard format with one disk and a little bit of bonus extras that I got for under $10

The Departed
Bagtman begins
I am Legend
The Last Samurai
300

Yeah, it's a great idea. They've actually been re-releasing several Blu-Rays w/ a DVD copy -- ones that had already come out months before.

The Breakfast Club'll be out Aug 3rd, along w/ Road to Perdition and Fargo.

Looks like Anchorman's coming to Blu August 31st. Consider me hard.

And then Se7en Sept. 14, followed by Beauty and the Beast, The Exorcist, and The Maltese Falcon Oct 3.

[HeatChamps]

Just got Planet Earth a few weeks ago. Late to the party but man it is amazing. Make sure your hdtv is in a mode that is good for a dark room. It is even more stunning that way with the colors popping out at you.

[silverblk mystix]

Blu-ray;

Sideways
Godfather 1-3
Forrest Gump
Braveheart
Shawshank Redemption
Cinema Paradiso on Blu ray and other Giuseppe Tornatore movies on dvd (Malena,The Unknown woman)

Bunch of misc ones on dvd

Saw planet earth in hd but haven't bought the blu-ray
it does look pretty awesome.

[mojorizen7]

Love me my late night Samsung Plasma 50".
I've got a hella Blue ray/DVD collection but a few stand outs in the ultimate format are:
District 9(flawless)
No Country for old men
Inglorious Basterds
Star Trek
Kill Bill(both)

Some older BRD transfers that bear witness:
Blazing Saddles
The Thing
The Good,Bad and the Ugly

[Mark in Austin]

Added:

Saving Private Ryan (http://www.amazon.com/Saving-Private-Ryan-Sapphire-Blu-ray/dp/B003LL3N1I/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1286064098&sr=1-1) - just as awesome as I remember

Avatar (http://www.amazon.com/Avatar-Two-Disc-Blu-ray-DVD-Combo/dp/B002VPE1B6/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1286064173&sr=1-1) - the aspect ratio was surprising - no letterboxing and it really works; especially with it being a 2D presentation using the whole screen makes it more immersive. Especially in the flying scenes. Holy crap. But if you don't already have it wait for the Special Edition coming out in a month or two.

Baraka (http://www.amazon.com/Baraka-Blu-ray-Ron-Fricke/dp/B001CDLATE/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1286064281&sr=1-1) - easily the most amazing picture of any movie I have. They did an 8k digital transfer from a 70mm print. IMHO the 8k scan will become the new reference standard. It is just stunning. Definitely more of a meditation than a movie, but if you have a badass system and want to impress you friends (or just be impressed yourself) this is the movie to get. Would work great to put it on at a party where there are other things going on.

[Jacob1983]

I got Daredevil on Blu Ray last night at Best Buy for 10 dollars. The movie looked pretty good. The special features were cool but kind of sucked since they weren't in HD. I know a lot of people love to hat on Ben Affleck but I think Daredevil is an underreated superhero movie. The Daredevil on Blu Ray was the director's cut and it adds a sub-plot to the movie that's not in the original version. It's also rated R.

[Fpoonsie]

Daredevil's fucking awful...HD or otherwise.

Beauty & the Beast looks aMAZing. You can actually choose between the Theatrical and Extended Edition releases, which is awesome, so you can actually avoid all the shitty extra songs Disney loves to ruin their "classics" with.

AND there's a preview of Dumbo, Bambi AND The Lion King (ALL on BluRay) in the "sneak peeks" section.

[Xevious]

I have quite a few that I've bought cheap. The only one I've watched that left a lasting impression was The Searchers. That movie is gorgeous.

[Sportcamper]

They spent a lot of money to create the restored Vista Vision Version of The Searchers…Some people were so used to seeing the standard DVD & VHS version with the washed out multi colored sunsets... that they complained about the clarity of the Vista Vision….

[resistanze]

Requiem for a Dream
The Warriors
American Psycho
Hard Day's Night
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Older movies are worth the hd?

[CuckingFunt]

I just pre-ordered Grindhouse (which I should be getting this week), a new anniversary edition of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Fantasia/Fantasia 2000.

The fact that Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 are being sold as a box set is some serious bullshit, for the record. The original Fantasia is one of my very favorite movies ever, one of the most beautiful examples of animation ever, and is as close to a "must own" BluRay (for me) I can think of. Words can't even express how much I resent having to dish out extra money so that I can have the pleasure of owning Fantasia 2000, which is such a shit pile I might as well turn that disc into a coaster the day I get it.

[LnGrrrR]

I Am Legend looks great if you've got a TV that can do blacks well (I've got a Kuro, kicks ass), and the Matrix and 28 Days Later look pretty decent as well.

And of course, animation almost always looks wonderful on Blu Ray, like Up.

[LnGrrrR]

Some older BRD transfers that bear witness:
Blazing Saddles
The Thing
The Good,Bad and the Ugly

I need to buy that movie.

Also, yes, if you don't have Planet Earth, get that first.

[z0sa]

I need to buy that movie.

It looks absolutely stunning on blu-ray. The first couple scenes of the antarctic really set the tone for how high the definition truly is.

[resistanze]

Older movies are worth the hd?

Oh yeah, they look great. These films were initially filmed in high quality, so the transfer is just fine.

[MannyIsGod]

Have had my PS3 for awhile but just purchased my first 2 BD - Coraline and Star Trek.

[Mark in Austin]

I just picked up the T2: Skynet Edition from Costco for $8.99 yesterday. Can't believe it was so cheap.

[desflood]

We bought Spartacus: Blood and Sand on Blu-Ray for the special features - the damn things won't play! All of the episodes go off without a hitch, but the extras just don't work.

[MannyIsGod]

As some of the others in here have said, I play a lot of rips through my PS3 media server on both my laptop and desktop. I can stream 720p from my laptop easily but for anything higher I'm better off using the desktop for the wired connection.

[resistanze]

Damn, that Grindhouse Collector's set is looking tempting, but I'm feeling cheap this month. Maybe after I get Gran Turismo 5.

[Fpoonsie]

The Complete Deadwood Series is coming to Blu in November. I'm tempted, but I have no idea why HBO hasn't kept the ball rolling w/ the Sopranos BDs. Season 1 & 6 on Blu, but nothing else? Tha fuck, HBO?!

[resistanze]

I ordered Life (David Attenborough commentary, not muthafuckin' Oprah) for $20 a couple of weeks back. I should be shipping out soon.

I'm sure there's gonna be a shitload of Blu-Ray deals in the next 2 weeks.

Good job. The Attenborough version was SO much better. I watched one episode with her and downloaded the rest in the BBC versions.

[cheguevara]

just watched clash of the titans. Baddass in blu ray

[IronMaxipad]

Watchin Mad Men season 2 on Blu.

[The Gemini Method]

I still think the District 9 was the best on the blu-ray in my collection. However, the Menace II Society blu-ray was a great copy on my PS3 and flatscreen. Can't wait until Boyz N The Hood goes down in price lol.

[cheguevara]

crank is the best video quality Ive seen on bluray

You're going to LOVE that. Got the Davey A. one as well on Blu (actually had to pay extra for it, but it was money well spent).

[The Reckoning]

this thread is going to be hilarious in 5-10 years

[Wild Cobra]

I ordered.......
The only online ordering I have done was with walmart.com. Don't knock it Walmart haters.... They have a great online selection, ship it to the store of your choice, and no shipping fee.

Nice option, and good prices.

Why would a nice selection be reason for Walmart haters to not knock shopping at Walmart? I'm pretty sure none of the complaints about Walmart's business model have to do with it being expensive and inconvenient.

[Fpoonsie]

The Incredibles coming to Blu-ray April 12th. A ways away, admittedly, but that should be fantastic.

$45.99 retail, though. Jesus.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Incredibles-Blu-ray/96/

[AussieFanKurt]

I have:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Inception

[MannyIsGod]

Amazon has the Dark Knight under 10 bucks right now.

I own
Inception
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Casino Royale
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
V For Vendetta
Heat
Fight Club
300
The Boondock Saints
Master & Commander

Might get soon: The Town, Gladiator, Die Hard, LOTR Trilogy (not sure, though)...

For me it has to make sense. Any non-action film is just fine on DVD.

[MannyIsGod]

I would wait until they release the LOTR extended editions on bluray before getting that.

Agreed.

[JMarkJohns]

the town is going to be 13.99 this week at best buy

An I have a gift card. Also, I'll never spend more than $15 dollars for any Blu-Ray, so this is perfect.

I'm going to add Kick-Ass to my list.

[Avitus1]

The Princess and the Frog (I got a little girl)

Came with the BluRay?

[ChuckD]

Agreed.

I'm not sure I'll even get them on BR, since the DVDs upscale nicely.

[Avitus1]

Came with the BluRay?

Yea, The Disney Store has crazy good deals.

[Fpoonsie]

The Incredibles came out today on Blu. It looks/sounds amazing.

[MannyIsGod]

Tron has to be one of the best home theater tracks I've heard in a while. Shitty plot but worth having for the audio visual experience, IMO.

[Fpoonsie]

Tron has to be one of the best home theater tracks I've heard in a while. Shitty plot but worth having for the audio visual experience, IMO.

No doubt. And nothing more than what I expected from the movie. The storyline was completely secondary, imo...

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I got Time Bandits the other day and was pretty pleased with the transfer.

[Muser]

The Expendables.

[DMC]

Some Blue Planet movie. I have a PS3 and yet I haven't done much in the way of Blue Ray.

[IronMaxipad]

Sons, 5 for $20 blu-rays at blockbuster. And they come with the real cover art.

If they ask you for the "secret password" just say Sneak-Peak.. :lol

Go today before the real sale starts over the weekend

[DPG21920]

lol there is no password, it's just a normal deal :lol

[IronMaxipad]

There is a password, i just got back from blockbuster and they asked me what the pass is.

[IronMaxipad]

http://www.facebook.com/blockbusterinc/posts/10150198946067446

Last day for our sneak preview sale on previously viewed movies! Get 5 Blu-rays for only $20 at your Blockbuster store. If asked for a password, use "Sneak Peek." Full sale starts tomorrow: hurry to grab the titles you want.

Not every store asks you for one though.

[DPG21920]

me too

[MannyIsGod]

No fucking blockbusters here. Fuck you all.

[Wild Cobra]

I got Time Bandits the other day and was pretty pleased with the transfer.
Anything of the past shot with 70mm will transfer very well. Much of the 35 mm transfers real good too. It's just the material shot strait to TV camera that isn't good.

[DPG21920]

I couldn't find 5 movies I wanted so I ended up leaving with nothing.

[Fpoonsie]

lol there is no password, it's just a normal deal :lol

Yeah, there's no coupon or anything. Nothing that hasta' be typed in. It just rings up automatically. As long as the Blu-rays are 9.99 or less, they're part of the deal.

[Fpoonsie]

Does anybody know where I can get blank Blu-ray cases? A store, preferably, instead of an online site.

[MannyIsGod]

Bought Twister and District 9 today. Got District 9 for 7 bucks, wtf?

[MannyIsGod]

btw LOTR extendeds coming out 6/28.

[DPG21920]

Ya, I had district 9, Friday the 13th & ninja assassin in my hands but couldn't find two more

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Does anybody know where I can get blank Blu-ray cases? A store, preferably, instead of an online site.

Hit up microcenter. They sell dvd cases so im guesing theyd have blu-ray cases, as well. 75 and spring valley. Southwest corner.

[MannyIsGod]

Whats the difference between a bluray and DVD case?

[Agloco]

btw LOTR extendeds coming out 6/28.

I was scrolling through this thread just to ask about this. No one, and I mean no one is a bigger Tolkien junkie than I am.

<drool>

[MannyIsGod]

I want it just because I hate having to switch the fucking DVDs in the middle.

[Fpoonsie]

Whats the difference between a bluray and DVD case?

The Blu-ray cases are smaller and thinner, and fit into my blu-ray stands easier.

[Fpoonsie]

Hit up microcenter. They sell dvd cases so im guesing theyd have blu-ray cases, as well. 75 and spring valley. Southwest corner.

Thanks, but...I'm in Dallas.

:depressed

[MannyIsGod]

Thats odd. Discs are the exact same dimensions. I figured they would make the same cases for both. I use regular shelving for our media storage but I'm not a big fan of cover art so I wish I could just safely put them in a binder/book. I'm still afraid they'll get scratched though.

[MannyIsGod]

Thanks, but...I'm in Dallas.

:depressed

So is he.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Thanks, but...I'm in Dallas.

:depressed

Ah. Is your horse and buggy in the shop?

[Fpoonsie]

Ah. Is your horse and buggy in the shop?

:lol

Sorry, Viva. I'm an idiot. For some unknown reason, I didn't immediately connect "75" and the D/FW. Wow.

Thanks for the advice. 'Preciate it.

[Fpoonsie]

I dunno. I like having the boxes and cover art. They can be pretty sleek sometimes. And the blu-ray boxes themselves just seem cooler to me for some reason.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

My wishlist for Blu-ray, ottomh.
Strange Days
Jacob's Ladder
Dead Presidents
Stigmata

[desflood]

Next on my list is The Tudors, seasons 1-4. Started watching this on Netflix (which only has the first two seasons, those bastards) and love it.

[SA210]

Pisses me off that they have Young Guns on blu ray, but not Young guns II, seriously wtf

[lil'mo]

so yall really buy the same movie more than once? dvd then blu ray? lololol :lol

[CuckingFunt]

so yall really buy the same movie more than once? dvd then blu ray? lololol :lol

No.

[lil'mo]

No.

well, we know you shoplift your blu rays, but im talkin bout everyone else that purchases them

[resistanze]

I burned all my movies in the DVD era :lol

[CuckingFunt]

well, we know you shoplift your blu rays, but im talkin bout everyone else that purchases them

Good question. I don't personally know anyone who has replaced their entire collection, but it wouldn't surprise me if others have. Seems a tad unnecessary to me.

[lil'mo]

i know people that do, and i am just sad for them, and sometimes wonder if they have any extra money they can give me since they like to waste their dough.

That'll really tie my collection together. 3 months away though. I'm glad it's a remaster and not a straight transfer.

[Spurtacus]

I absolutely cannot wait for The Dude to hit blu-ray. I still own an HD DVD copy of the movie.

[IronMaxipad]

Had to drive all the way out to Anaheim but it was worth it.

Just a few days ago, I bought the third season of TrueBlood on BluRay.

I've got to say, it's the most graphic stiff I have ever watched that I like. I don't care for bloody violence, but this is part of a what makes this more real.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I try and stay away from graphic stiffs.

Really? The graphic violence and sex is what makes this show about vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters feel "more real"?

[MannyIsGod]

True Grit was aesthetically amazing on Blu-Ray and it was a good remake. Get it if you like that genre.

Heads up the 5 for 20 bluray sale at blockbuster will be live again 7/1-7/4 and rumored to be .99 cents again on 7/4.


:tu I'll be there

[Spurtacus]

Paul is out on blu-ray in the UK. Bought it and watched it. Funny movie but not on the level of Pegg/Frost other buddy comedies (Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz).

[IronMaxipad]

Gonna go check out my local Blockbuster now. :tu

[DPG21920]

Gonna go check out my local Blockbuster now. :tu


Thanks a lot for the heads up. I have gone from having 0 blu-ray movies to now 15 for $60. I would have loved to pick up the LOTR Trilogy + Tropic Thunder, but the didn't have them unfortunately.

The first time they had this sale a month ago, the selection wasn't that great and they had another section of higher priced BR's that were solid. This time, many of those moved into the 5 for $20 deal which was cool.

The first trip I bought 5, but they weren't very good ones, but decent enough to want to watch for $4 each (I actually grabbed a SD movie just because I couldn't even stomach 5 of the blu-rays) so I grabbed: GI Joe, Race to Witch Mountain, Friday the 13th (remake), District 9 and In Bruges (SD).

This time I pulled all blu-rays: Nightmare on Elm Street (Remake), Hot Tub Time Machine, Predators (Remake), Kick-Ass, Robin Hood (Remake), How to Train Your Dragon, Zombieland, Sherlock Holmes, X-Men Origins & Expendables.

If anyone goes to their local BB and finds the LOTR Trilogy + Tropic Thunder and could pick that up, I would appreciate it for a ST friend.

[DPG21920]

Also, I'm not clear on the .99 thing. The Blu-Rays will be .99 on 7/4? If so, I probably should have waited :lol

They had .99 DVD's today, but they were SD.

Some people are saying that .99 cent deal is unlikely this time.

I just got back from my blockbuster and was lucky enough to find the LotR trilogy. :)

Dude, 2 questions: Is the BB far from you and did they have multiple copies of the LOTR Trilogy?

I'm going to stop back in to my BB tonight and ask if they are doing the .99 sale on July 4th.

Nah it's not far but i'm in LA though. And they only had 1 of each except for fellowship of the ring which they had about 2 copies of that one.

[DPG21920]

Ah, that's cool. For the stores that do have the .99 sale, is it blu-rays and are they the same ones that run in the 5 4 20 the days before?

[IronMaxipad]

Ah, that's cool. For the stores that do have the .99 sale, is it blu-rays and are they the same ones that run in the 5 4 20 the days before?

No, they have a separate section for those. for example at my store they had 5 for 20 for blu's $9.99 and under. They also had blus that were 4.99 each and every day that goes by they would drop the price by $1. So by the time it got to the last day of the sale the blus had dropped to .99 cents. Hope that made sense.. :lol

Also alot of the blu's that were on sale for .99 cents last time were the same titles that were 5 for 20. Except they had a different price sticker on them.. Kinda confusing..i know.

[DPG21920]

So they just took extra stock of the last deal and dropped them to .99 to get rid of them. With these titles, I doubt the do that since they seem to be newer and likely got rid of most of their excess last time.

I'm going to stop and ask any way. My BB only had a table of 5 4 20 BR's and then a section of like $14-$16 BR's. The only other deals were for SD dvd's (which were 5 for 20 and a section of .99).

I also posted the last 5 for 20/.99cent deal (the one in May) in here too. :lol

[Fpoonsie]

There's a number of Blu's that're listed for less than 9.99 and they're the ones that are gonna be marked down to .99 on the 4th. Any of the ones you might've found in the 5/$20 sale were simply mismarked and unmoved (though, obviously, they'll still work in as part of the 5-for sale).

As far as I know, the .99 sale is still a go on the 4th.

[DPG21920]

Fpoon, so you are saying the movies I listed aren't likely to be a part of the .99 blu-ray sale, correct?

That LOTR Trilogy is a damn steal for $4 each.

Fpoon, if you go to your blockbuster and they have the LOTR Trilogy and/or Tropic Thunder, if you'd get that for me I'll pay you back po'sho.

[Fpoonsie]

Well, unfortunately, if they're stickered as 9.99 right now, it doesn't necessarily mean that's what their current price is. A lot of times, those tables and aisles have so many different titles that it becomes a little hard to keep up the constant price changes. I CAN tell you, definitively, that a large number of those on Pad's extensive list will NOT be going to .99 on Monday.

I should be able to track down a list of the ones that will be, and you can match up whichever titles you see at your stores with the ones in mine.

And I'll keep an eye out for the trilogy. You ARE talking about the original release, right? Not the recent Director's Cut?

[DPG21920]

I'm just talking about the one you will find for the 5 for $20 sale, which ever ones those are. If you can find the complete trilogy on blu-ray + Tropic Thunder on that 5 for $20 table, you can just grab some other movie to complete the 5 for $20. Even if you can't find Tropic Thunder, but just the LOTR Trilogy, you can just maybe grab two others that are decent in your opinion that I didn't list above.

[IronMaxipad]

Heads up the 5 for 20 deal will happen again during Labor day weekend.

[DPG21920]

List of any titles to be added?

[Fpoonsie]

August is a great month for Blu-Ray releases.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Dazed and Confused (can't. fucking. wait.)
The Big Lebowski

[Booharv]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Dazed and Confused (can't. fucking. wait.)

Thats like 5 of my top 10-12 favorite comedies right there.

[IronMaxipad]

August is a great month for Blu-Ray releases.


Dazed and Confused (can't. fucking. wait.)

Finally! Gook luck finding it for under $30 dollars though, it's being released by Criterion. Best bet is to wait until November when Barnes&Noble have their 50% off criterion sale. Not complaining though Criterion have the best releases.

About muh-fuggin' time.

[cantthinkofanything]

I just can't do it anymore. We've got drawers filled with Blu-Rays. Most of which have never been watched more than once. It's so easy to stream anything nowadays and I'm beyond caring much about the quality difference.

[Fpoonsie]

Yeah, I haven't felt the urge to stock up in a while now.

Been waiting for the Sopranos Box Set, though. The first and last season have been out for years on Blu. No idea what took the rest so long.

I think if I were to invest in Blu Ray's again, it'd be on a series like that. Waiting between seasons, I think I lost a lot. I'm envious of my friends who didn't watch Breaking Bad until they could watch the whole thing over a week or so. Shit, it was like a year between some of the season.

:lol Yes. That was the fucking worst.

Admittedly, I never caught The Sopranos during its heyday. Rented the first season one night on a whim, and the rest, history, etc.
