Somebody remind me why A Bug's Life isn't out in the UK yet...

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I didn't get a lovely slip cover with my Toy Story 2 did as I did with TS1

Grabbed TS 1&2...and this means that steelbooks will be released for them next month. Sigh.

anyone here have experience with a Optoma HD20 projector? I'm looking at buying one (a projector, that is) this summer and it looks like a nice intro unit, something that will project in a smallish space.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Ordered from Play?

Yup.

 

[y2dvd]

WTF is that Ratatouille cover Mr. Spinnington?!?!

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

Steelbooks from Best Buy. There's A Bug's Life, Cars, Monster's Inc., Nightmare Before Christmas, Pinocchio, Ratatouille, Sleeping Beauty, and Wall-E. There's also one for Up but it was a pre-order thing and the others you can buy in stores.

When is fucking Finding Nemo coming out on Blu-Ray? I love it so much!

Regarding region locking on Disney movies, it varies. Examples:
UK Cars - Free
UK Wall.E - Locked
UK Monsters Inc. - Free
UK Rat - Locked

ALL Disney animated stuff like Snow White is locked over here

High Res

Even non-fans of Michael Jackson will be caught up in the exuberance and virtuosity of MOONWALKER. This 84-minute music video casts The Gloved One as host of a futuristic TV special. Highlights include an extended Claymation sequence and a 3-D vignette put together by the Disney Company. The most endearing aspect of MOONWALKER is Jackson's willingness to poke fun at his own tabloid-headline image.

May 3rd in Europe, no NA release date yet =(

Sometime this year in the States, not sure about UK.

Now, what about the Incredibles? I want it!

 

[calder]

I can't find Yojimbo/Sanjuro anywhere. :|

 

[Naked Snake]

Moonwalker

Do want!

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Order it from the Criterion store. Use the code "AFS" for 25% off and it still qualifies for free shipping (usually on orders over $50). $41.97 shipped (cheaper than Amazon too).

 

[Man]

Has the Alien movies been announced yet?

 

[Midas]

Yup.

Me too, no sleeve. Weird.

Dammit, why is anyone using VC-1 nowadays?

 

[madmook]

Fuck Warner. Of all the BDs to ruin... why oh why did they have to fuck up LotR.

 

[overthehill99]

I find it super annoying that all my Pixar movies have a slipcover over them, except for Wall-E. Why did they leave that out of Wall-E?

 

[Hex]

Has the Alien movies been announced yet?

Yes, this holiday.

 

[NekoFever]

Somebody remind me why A Bug's Life isn't out in the UK yet...

Because it's region free so anyone who wants it can import it.

We did get both Toy Story movies and Monsters Inc early, though.

The obvious pattern there is that new releases are locked while catalogue ones aren't, traditional animated stuff aside.

This kind of nonsense is why I got a multiregion player. I don't have to care any more.

That does suck about LOTR, though. Doesn't entirely surprise me because of the track record with New Line movies - see Pan's Labyrinth - but it shouldn't still be happening. Can't remember the last time I was blown away by a Warner transfer.

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

you didn't get the Monster's, Inc steelbook?

no, it and the one for Up are really fat and don't appeal to me. there are no plans for toy story steelbooks, btw

may 1 in uk, unnanounced for us

 

[Medalion]

If I ever were to buy LOTR on blu-ray I wouldn't mind getting the standard theatre editions because I am not a fan of the movies in general but some were alright. I don't need that extended shit... I thought the movies were long enough.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

Wall-E had one; I have it right here.

Its like I've dead and gone to Pixar heaven.

Sadly, only have Monsters Inc, Toy Story 1/2, Wall-E and Up.

Where's my Incredibles blu-ray!

 

[madmook]

I think most had already come to grips with them releasing the theatrical editions first. They gotta get their double-dip on, can't really fault them for that.

But then to give it a mediocre transfer (even shoddy in the case of Fellowship)? That's spitting in the face of the fans.

 

[Foov]

I recycle all my slip covers. They're annoying. The most useless waste of paper I have ever seen.

 

[lupin23rd]

Did Red Cliff come out yet? I thought it was this week but I've also seen an April date for it?

 

[lordoftherink]

Wall-E had one; I have it right here.

There were two versions, the difference being one having a Digital Copy and the other not. The one with the extra disc has a slipcover, the other does not. Annoying, but thankfully this was limited to only Wall-E and Prince Caspian.

It's out.

Ah, but I wouldn't put it past them for the TS3 release.

huh. I did not know that.

Out of all the things they mention, why are you assuming that VC1 is the problem?

Here are the first real pictures of the Battlestar Galactica repackage.

Speaking of repackages, HBO is rereleasing Band of Brothers this summer with a Pacific sampler.

Nice, I've been waiting to pick it up hoping that they fix some of the issues I remember hearing about.

 

[distantmantra]

You should also check Costco. They've been carrying Criterion blu-ray titles recently.

 

[SlaughterX]

They better release Moonwalker in the US... it's still BS that we never got the DVD.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I hope the Band of Brothers re-release come in standard BRD cases...

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

Ah, but I wouldn't put it past them for the TS3 release.

neither would i. they'll either do a trilogy release and steelbook all 3 individually or together, or just SB for the third one

Solo's favorite Nolan movie is coming to HD

 

[Costanza]

thats the only nolan movie I haven't gotten around to seeing, will buy

 

[Solo]

Save your monies (all $3 Im sure youll end up spending, lolz).

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Tomorrow... Collateral.

 

[Solo]

Yes indeed! Cant wait to pick it up. Too bad I didnt like Sherlock Holmes as much as I would have hoped, or else Id pick that up too. Oh well, $30 saved.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I may get Holmes down the line when it's cheaper. I liked it, but I can wait on a better price.

 

[Guzim]

Solo's favorite Nolan movie is coming to HD

Days before Inception too! Let's get Following out on blu-ray now!

 

[Man]

Possibly my favorite Nolan movie as well. Terrific film.

As someone who imported the UK BSG set, I emailed Universal about how getting replacement packaging might work. Bad news. As of right now, those of us with the (admittedly pretty cool) metal packaging are stuck with it. Still, we'll see if the UK distributor makes allowances for us humble Yanks.
