Do we have any members in The Netherlands? I am trying to buy a DVD from Marktplaats but it won't let me register as I'm in the UK. I would cover all costs if anyone could buy it and rip it for me?
Fighting fantasy rings a bell, never had any though. Nostalgia's one hell of a drug
@Hitcher Yeah some of the later issues (50+) have gone for £150-200 each! They retailed for £3.99
@zoidberg Do you remember those Fighting Fantasy gamebooks we had in the UK? The prices of some of those are crazy on eBay. Anything remotely cult/geek/collectible/retro has just gone through the roof
Yeah, they were worthless for a while, now they are not (although ebay sellers are over-estimating their value/gouging what they think they can get away with prices). Same with VHS, cassettes, cine film
That's the same player I have, @alleycat. However I was lucky enough to get mine for just £1 before prices hyperinflated!
Nice Laserdisc player on ebay UK https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-DVL-9...874e6311f7
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON movies were pretty successful. But I don't know if you're counting animated films
Gerard Butler has such an odd career. He's kept working, but hasn't had a super successful movie since...what, 300?
Ive had an epic movie run! Greenland (2020) started it, then... Soul (2020), Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) and My Octopus Teacher (2020)!
Greenland (2020) was a nice suprise! Tense and Emotional. The first 1hr 20 mins is gold.
Funny thing is for all the disputes you have with people saying the current BD of The Terminator looking correct or not, there will most likely be no dispute that—if the UHD rumor is true—will most definitely need to be regraded given Arrow's track record LOL
Arrow video rumoured to be doing a Terminator UHD which should be great, their Robocop BD was fantastic
We're getting Speed and Heat on 4k blu later in the year! Maybe Disney are mellowing due to a combination of lost revenue due to covid and good sales shown in the physical media market.
anyone got info on that german forum with umatic regrades? it's been offline since monday it seems.
Nothing. But when you're ready to post, there a new window that appear and you can create it then. Just found out about it. Thanks to ask.
Hey hey, what happens when you click the "Attach a poll" box when creating a new thread?
Hello all. Quick question. How do we create new polls in a new thread ? I tried to check earlyer but I couldn't find anything about this. Can anyone please help ?
from the description: ALL specs are identical to v2.0, but with an improved color-correction pass for all SE footage of Bud in the NTI chamber toward the end of the film. This sequence stuck out to me from the surrounding theatrical shots when I watched v2.0. v2.1 will be the last version of this project.
How much difference is there between 2.0 and 2.1?
Yeah that's the only one I could find as well even though v2.1 has been released.
Personally I'd recommend trying to hunt down the latest version of The Abyss SE:HD https://youtu.be/ioOsagqjwMQ
Hey folks, I haven't seen The Abyss yet. I see there's a HDTV Open Matte rip of the Extended cut floating around: should I go for that one?
I've been offline for a bit but wanted to wish a belated happy new year to everyone!
Not sure if it's a dodgy 10-bit -> 8-bit / HDR -> SDR conversion or if the 4K version is also way too contrasty. But I can literally just crank the luma level way too high on the LaserDisc and it looks similar, so I'm assuming it's Not Right.
Man, has anybody had a good look at the newer master of THE DARK CRYSTAL? Screenshots of 1080p one just look like somebody cranked the contrast up to 11 and called it a day.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I wish you all the best of health as we head into 2021.
Merry Christmas you lot. Thanks for helping me cope with the calamity that was 2020.
The 'DTS Edition' by Herald (oop) was released 2002. I didn't compare to the UHD yet but this has always been my first choise BLADE soundtrack.
I don't have the US DVD anymore, because the JAP DVD with Lossless DTS 5.1 is better. I think it's the Cinema DTS Mix, very powerful
@madmax87 Would the old US DVD possibly be a better bet for the Blade 5.1 AC-3 than the LD? Obviously no PCM, but for the 5.1?
Wow, first time I've ever actually seen the music video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEcjgJSqSRU
Just checked my copy of Blade US - Laserrot on Side B very bad ? German PAL LD is fine, but I don't think there is any interest in the German dub
I've gotten at least three cracked discs over the last few months. Maybe USPS is just slacking on handling fragile items.
@alinskey Had that happen with one of mine, mate. Side 1 absolutely shining and pristine, side 2 cracked straight through. I now own 4 copies of the one I had arrive cracked. My brain is broken as well, apparently...
My copy of Blade on LD came in today just in time to capture and sync it to the UHD... and Side 2 is completely cracked. Cheapest copy on eBay is $60.
Well good bye movie theaters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...e=emb_logo
@Bigrob @zoidberg and another guess is Dune UHD https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p...ut09SAD-rQ
@zoidberg apparently a cryptic list of 2021 Arrow Video releases was shared online last night and someone reckons PJ's earlier films are on there
HAHAHA that was my reaction as well @zoidberg. Funnily enough syncing the LD digital mono to the uncut DVD (or at least I recall it as uncut) is on my to-do list for the imminent future

Quick question; Does anyone here have any of the Warner Bros. UK VHS releases of Highlander 1? I'm wanting to check something but don't have a VHS set up any more.
Jeez, nearly 16 hours now. Hope that's not a sign that it's done. I have so much hosted there hahah (UPDATE: Thankfully it eventually reappeared)
