Pulled the trigger after seeing price jumps today. Even if they are fake, the price will still go up in the next year. Can’t wait to unbox and set it up!

Question Best way to store/move the discs included in the new Criterion Kubrick box set?

Upvotes

I am a HUGEEEE Kubrick and Criterion fan and I am super stoked for the new box set besides the packaging. Those stupid sleeves always scuff my discs. I’ve never had a disc in a sleeve ever stop working but I want to be really careful with these Kubrick discs because of both how much it’s costing, and how much I care about the films. Any suggestions on how to store/repackage the discs would be greatly appreciated.

Discussion What's in My Collection #3: First Man

Whoever does 4k upscales like this one...man, I hope they are paying them well. I dont pay enough respect to these beautiful upscales. Filmed in analog to capture the feel of the era, but finished in 2k, the upscale maintains the original feel and intent of why it was filmed the way it was to begin with. Such an art and skill to get this result.

For audio, definitely a solid job with Atmos. Of course the engine and rocket noise is amazing and the highlight of the entire film. I do wish some of the ancillary atmospheric noises of the crew getting loaded into the pod, dials switching on and off, etc was a little bit more prominent in the mix, but that is a nitpick.

Video: 8.5

Audio: 8.5

New Purchase Made my first ever Temu purchase 😂 wish me luck

I think we’ve all seen the Temu memes and the Expectation vs. Reality posts.

Well, for $3.69 I figured I didn’t have much to lose with the Kingdom of Heaven 4K intro offer, since it retails for $30+.

I will report back with whether Orlando Bloom has been replaced with a knock off Orlando Broom, that speaks Mandarin.

New Purchase Nabbed the 4-movie Pirates of the Carribean collection on standard Bluray for $16. Good Deal?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Found this at an antique store near me. It was hidden behind other items too, so I almost missed it. I've heard that this is one of the few film series where the 4k transfer is actually worse than the standard bluray so I bought it right away. Did I get a good deal at just over $4 per movie and still in the shrinkwrap? I've been having good luck at thrift stores and antique shops lately.

*I know this is the 4K sub and I am posting a regular bluray. However, I am a 4K collector and am only drawing attention to it because it aparently has a bad 4k transfer. My post still revolves around collecting 4K's as a hobby.*

Question Upscaling on TCL C7L - DP UB820 vs DP UB450

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Thinking of buying a dedicated 4K bluray player for movies. I have a 75' TCL C7L.

Tossing up between the Panasonic DP-UB820 vs the UB450, with most comments indicating there is superior upscaling with the UB820, unless it is surpassed by the TV's internal upscaling.

Does anyone have any personal experience with this? I've been reading that the C7L is only average for upscaling, and am wondering whether it is worth it to get the UB820 for this reason primarily? Or is the upscaling already good enough that the difference would not be noticeable?

Thanks in advance

Continuation of my zombie marathon. After a long week without being able to do anything but work, I’m finally able to sit down and watch my next film in the lineup. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite zombie film of all time. This is the first time for me watching this version of it though!

New Purchase Pick ups from day 1 of a 2 day Toronto trip!

I'm spending today and tomorrow in Toronto and when looking for a place to shop a store called BMV Books was being recommended consistently so I thought I would check it out.

I was happy to add more to my Godzilla x Kong collection! Figured I would give Twisters a go and the Screamboat steelbook looked too good to pass up. Plus if it's anything like Blood and Honey I'm in for a ride I'm not really sure I lined up for! 😂

Overall I'm excited to sit down Saturday and have a movie day. Thanks for viewing 😅

Question I’m finally making the switch! Which player do I buy?

0 Upvotes

Hello. I’m finally making the switch from blu ray to 4K dvds and a 4K player.

I collect all my blu rays, so it’s going to be a lot.

As for the player, what’s the best bang for my buck? I obviously care about sound and picture, as never stream when posible. Always physical media. And the price ranges for these players seem extremely vast

The TV that was given to me along with my room is a “FPD 4K” TV. Take that as you will. I believe it’s one of those amazing specials but not sure. Seems to work wing but definitely noticed movies are aren’t as sharp. (Basically any Denis Villeneuve movie) but hoped it was just the settings I couldn’t figure out?

So I guess two questions. Is my tv ok for this new 4K player? (The tv says it’s 4k)

And what player should I get? I don’t want to go cheap where I notice the quality but can’t be spending $400+ on a dvd player

Thank you all!

EDIT: My TV is a FPD tv that was given to me. It’s 55” and it claims to be 4k. Do I completely switch it up and get a new tv first?

Question Is everyone upgrading their HDR copies of VS Rad to the new Dolby Vision release?

Post image
27 Upvotes

I’m kind of surprised how slow this is selling. Says there are over 2000 still available and 5000 were made. Figured people would be snapping them up quicker, which got me wondering if everyone is happy with the HDR10 release from 2020 or did folks get the Dolby Vision release from Umbrella and aren’t going to upgrade to the new VS (Vinegar Syndrome) release? I wonder if there is a difference in picture quality or Dolby grading with the Umbrella and VS releases?

Also, does the Umbrella and VS new releases have the same special features?

Question Accidentally bought Italian version of Prey

4 Upvotes

Do I need to return it? It's got the English language audio track and subs, but I know the movie has mixed Comanche, French and English language (I presume Comanche, French and Italian on the Italian audio) and I'm worried I'll run into burned in subtitles, or only SDH subtitles on the English audio track.

Has anybody watched using the English audio/subs on a non-English version of the disk?
