I was asking for Salty's opinion. I don't believe he's ever reviewed it

Lost Boys BD, thou shall not fall.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 03 Jun 2008, 17:15

Nightmare you either get or you dont, I hated the visual style and the film was not much fun either, in the end it was pants for me. Still everyone else loves it, so what do I know

Lost Boys on the other hand is classic

the 2 dvd standard special edtion is a joke beyond words! 2 dvds yea, both containing barly nothing on them! the film takes up 3GB for gods sake! and they still put the extras on the second bloody disc, which was about 2GB!!!!!!! talk about 2 dvd edtion for NO REASON!

I do hope they acctually do some fun extras for the HD version

as the extras were poor for the 2 dvd version, not sure how many of them are new.

I enjoyed The Lost Boys more when I was a kid... doesn't hold up as well as some 80s cult films. The Goonies Meets The Vampires.

Still, it's WAY better than either Batman Forever or Batman and Robin.

James Bond on BD, in France this November:

You'll need to copy/paste, as the link gets cut off. None of the first batch interest me.

Fingers crossed they get:

DTS-HD MA 5.1
DTS-HD MA 2.0/1.0

But I bet they'll just have 5.1.

Use tinyurl next time.
Thre Omen is coming.

I prefer proper direct links, besides it's not worth it. People are capable of copy/pasting.

I only would if it was a massively long URL.

I knew someone wouldn't bother to read the post

. It should be obvious if you look at the link, only part of it is formatted.

Try again. I've just noticed High Def. Digit links also have a "short link" too. You don't need to copy/paste it any more.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jun 2008, 00:37

I did cut 'n' paste and got the same message.

Can't you just do what Eva said?

You didn't, it would've worked if you had. I tested it a few times. You must've not copy/pasted all the text.

Markgway wrote:Can't you just do what Eva said?

No. I don't like Tinyurl's. I want the proper direct link not some third party one.

I've fixed it now anyway. Try again.

Got it now.

"MGM (via its parent distributor Fox)"

Fuck! :x

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Jun 2008, 00:45

Fingers crossed Fox don't give us bare-bones discs!

On the same day, Fox will also scare up 'The Omen: The Collection,' a four-film box set featuring the original 'The Omen,' its two sequels 'Damien: Omen II' and 'The Final Conflict,' plus the 2006 remake 'The Omen: 666'

I hate it when they bung in the new film with the originals. The new film always sticks out like a sore thumb. So many of these Quadrilogies are to me "Trilogy + 1".

Indiana Jones is definitely an example of that. I'll be annoyed if Paramount only release them separately or one 4 part box set. I'd have to buy them separately. Star Wars is the same. It's two Trilogies and certainly not one 6 part story.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jun 2008, 01:43

I'd only buy 2/4 Indy films... so I'm hoping for an individual option.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Jun 2008, 03:11

What do you mean by 2/4? I thought you'd buy Part 1 and 3.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 06 Jun 2008, 10:35

That's probably what he means.
2 out of 4, no?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 06 Jun 2008, 11:36

Nightmare Before Christmas complete specs.

OAR 1.66:1, lossless audio. The listed extras sound promising.

# NEW! Film Commentary – commentary by producer and writer Tim Burton, director Henry Selick and composer Danny Elfman.

Hopefully they were all recorded together. Burton is one of the worst solo commentators ever.

Yeah, lol.

Maybe that was confusing?

I'd buy Parts 1 and 3

'Star is Born' Blu-ray to Receive 6k Restoration:

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/1800

Is it necessary to remaster at such a high resolution?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 07 Jun 2008, 03:41

Thanks for the link, Bradavon. Judy Garland kicks arse.

Resolutions that high are likely to completely preserve every bit of detail offered from a 35mm source.

Futureproofing is another reason. The higher the res, the longer they can use the master (unless they totally cocked up the remastering, like they did with Suspiria). As you know, Blu-ray is 2K HD.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Jun 2008, 15:48

I though that was why but wouldn't a 6K Remaster made in 2008 (roughly) still be old 5 years from now? Technology moves on.

Resolutions that high are likely to completely preserve every bit of detail offered from a 35mm source.

That's good.

I think I've only seen Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz, she was good in that.
