I remember when Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the black pearl first came to bluray there was some cropping issues. Is the version in the trilogy boxset fixed or is it still the crap version?

Also which version of fifth element does Netflix have? The original bluray with poor pq or the updated one?

So far, the Disney restorations of their catalogue titles have been perfect. Not a single thing wrong with them. Reference material, even. How much of that is down to their thoughtful method of storing all their film negatives and how much is due to the restorative process is another matter. I'm not expecting anything different for Fantasia.

I was referring more to how they censored the film upon subsequent releases, not so much the quality of the negative.

Ugggghhh...

Will get it regardless.
 
There's no way that Fantasia will be cropped. Disney's being too exacting about remastering this stuff to chop half the picture off and piss off the enthusiasts who will buy the Blu-ray.

I've got the UK BD of Dumbo and that has the option to watch it pillarboxed as normal or to watch it with artwork filling up the empty space on the screen. It's quite tastefully done and is a decent way to mollify to the morons who will complain.

I didn't buy the original Avatar for this. HYPE.

Really hope it isn't the special edition of the film with "the morning report" re-inserted. That song was removed for a reason!

Are you talking about the original awesome song from cinema and VHS which they changed for a shit fest? You prefer the DVD shit fest version?

just finished happy together on bluray. Its an amazing piece of cinema. Fantastically shot, coloured, paced, written and evocative. The colouring and the way its processed... its startling. From the black and whites to the coloured images.... really stunning.

I really need to buy in the mood for love on bluray.
 
Ah Sunshine, what an enjoyabe great first 2/3rds.

I haven't bought a bluray in a while but I will be picking up Breathless and Delicatessen in two weeks.
 
Band of Brothers is $26.70 shipped from Amazon.co.uk. Plays on US players. If you don't own it you don't own the best Blu-ray boxset available. Amazing series with amazing PQ and AQ.
 
Apparantly there's a trailer on the recently released James and the Giant Peach for Alice in Wonderland getting a Blu-ray release for its 60th anniversary (2011)

That brings Disney's 2011 catalog release list to:

The Lion King
Alice in Wonderland
Bambi
Dumbo (in US/CA)
Tron

I want my Aladdin =(

After that, what's left for Disney to release? They've gotten all the big ones, no?
Click to expand...
Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmations, The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Robin Hood, The Little Mermaid, Pocahontus, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan, Atlantis, Lilo and Stitch, Treasure Planet.

Off the top of me head, anyway. I'm sure there are more. Bolded the ones I really want. Italicised Hunchback because most people aren't aware how fucking awesome it is. Very adult, and with the best music ever to emerge from Disney.

EDIT - A check on Wikipedia says that after Fantasia, both Bambi and Aladdin have been confirmed as Diamond releases, and it also expects Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, One Hundred and One Dalmations, The Jungle Book and The Little Mermaid.

How reliable it is I don't know, as it also expects Pinnochio and Sleeping Beauty, which seems unlikely to me given that they were recently Platinum released. Why make them a part of the Diamond range?
 
I watched the blair witch project today and all I can say is it was really hard trying to hold back the urge to get violent on the girl. Totally annoying. The movie itself is below average. Just a bunch of teenagers running around the forest screaming. Good thing it only cost me $10.

Hunchback of the Notre Dame is the best animated Disney movie. Best music, best animation, most adult themes. It's a terrible shame it bombed at the box office, because we'll never get to see a full featured 2 disc special edition of HotND.

Yeah, it's fucking gorgeous. Disney at their 'Renaissance' peak technically, and very arguably artistically. I hated it as a kid, but watched it again three years ago and was blown away by how mature and well developed the whole thing was. It seemed less a film for the entire family and more a film for the older people.

Confirming earlier reports (see Blu-ray.com, May 23), HollywoodinHidef.com has it from a "well-placed source" that a 3D Blu-ray release of Avatar will be released on December 1, but it will be exclusively available with the purchase of Panasonic 3D TVs and Blu-ray players. In turn, a 3D BD of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland will be bundled with Sony 3D hardware.

In February, Avatar director James Cameron had said to the Wall Street Journal that a 3D Blu-ray of the movie would come out in November (see Blu-ray.com, February 18). That was promptly denied by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment with a note that said verbatim: "3D is in the conceptual stage and Avatar will not be out on 3D Blu-ray in November" (see Blu-ray.com, February 19).

The exclusivity period hasn't been specified for either title, but is said to be "unusually long" for Avatar.

Epic Fucking Fail!

Great way to push the 3D Boom. Only for new purchasers of specific tv's. What about the people who plowed down shitloads of cash for the 3D TV's earlier unable to watch avatar in 3D.

3D Tv's are turning into game consoles.

Some people enjoy it, some people dont.
I personally thought it was brilliant when it came out and obviously so did many others since it is still copied all to hell even today.

Finally got around to watching Evil Dead, it is such a fantastic release all around I am genuinely impressed.
 
Surprised Avatar 3D BD is coming in some way this year after all. Hopefully that means Jan-Feb release for the rest of us.
 
Completely shameful truth: I have never seen a Lethal Weapon movie. Yet because I've seen so many action/buddy films post-Lethal Weapon, I probably have already watched all four films in the form of pop-culture subconscious.

Though I'd still like to watch them anyway.

There's gonna be more than just that right? Kinda hoping for a feature length documentary.

There will. There's gonna be a 2-3 hour doc on the making of the movie according to the producer, plus tons of other stuff.

The release still hasn't been officially anounced.
 
nice inception CE.

Hate that avatar 3D exclusive shit. Stupid thing is, its Panasonic exclusivity, but it fucks over consumers that have already bought panasonic TVs or bluray players!

Yeah, that is just what's known so far. The boxart/release date were (unofficially) revealed which is why I posted it.

1 and 2 are good.

They are both pretty dark and the comedy parks are more like a break in emo rage angst.

3 and 4 are both fun for what they are, but crossed over into action-comedy completely.

Check out the first one at least, completely brutal 80's action.

The second one is cool 3 and 4 veer too much into action comedy, but are still very watchable.
 
I take off the cardboard sleeves to my special edition BDs - I don't see what use I can find for a big metal case. Maybe if I had more space.

All the same, I'd kind of like to own that totem. I'd freak out if I span it and
it didn't stop. Or did it? Cut to black.
 
Does anyone know what the region coding is for the Exit Through the Gift Shop Blu-ray from the UK? Is it locked to B? I can't find any solid information online. There appears to be no plans for a release in North America yet, and I'd love to import it if possible.

I haven't seen any reviews yet (even the distributor's website says the Blu-ray is unavailable) but none of their other releases have region-coding, so there's a good chance Gift Shop is region-free as well.

There are reviews on Amazon UK, but they make no mention of region-coding or lack thereof.

Exit is one of the few films from this year that I seriously want to own. I'm almost tempted to order it from Amazon and take a chance.
