The Blu-ray Thread v1.0

I watched the VHS all the time as a kid and im watching it now, you can definitely see much more that was never noticeable before. Well, i saw the 2 disc dvd set and it did expand it for a pan and scan view but this view is much better for the blu ray.

And i picked it up at bestbuy. Got a free pink alarm clock with my purchase. Cute.

There is a way to get around that, but it’s kind of dishonest.

I can sell you my Heroes Season 1 set (unopened) and you can throw away the DVD’s.

Definitely going to add this to my next Amazon order, reviews have been very positive on the quality.

From the review I read earlier.

Cool, thanks. I just watched it (my wife had it on while I was cooking so I didn’t really pay attention), looked great! They also have a Pinocchio trailer on the disc, which is getting the same treatment in the Spring for the 70th (!!!) anniversary. The quality (judging by the trailer) doesn’t look as good as Sleeping Beauty, but that’s probably more of an issue with the source material.

I’m definitely picking up Sleeping Beauty. I hope they redo every good Disney cartoon the same way they did Sleeping Beauty.

As long as you don’t expect the video/audio to be as good as modern day movies, it’s okay. If it was any other movie, it would get ripped apart by reviewers.

However, the Godfather 1 & 2 original reel are in awful condition (if you’ve owned the DVD collection, you’d know what I’m talking about), and the fact that they can restore it to this quality is incredible. This is probably the best that Godfather will ever look, so if you’re a big fan, it’s a must-buy.

What is this scandalous scheme that’s cooking up in your head Sep?

Here’s an interesting article, from S&V Magazine. They rate each studio in terms of the quality of their Blu-ray releases. I don’t completely agree, but found it interesting nonetheless.

clicky

I haven’t seen a disney blu ray yet that wasn’t fuck tops in quality. All the pirates movies, the pixar stuff, all that shit, Disney is working the fuck outta this format.

So Leigh, you got Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray? =p

Shit, I’m still waiting on the rest of the Pixar movies to come out. Where’s my Incredibles on Blu-ray? :mad:

I agree. A lot of my favorite Blu-rays are Disney. They came out with Gangs of New York though, which is probably one of the worst BD transfers ever.

man i haven’t seem sleepin beuty in a minute…

Do they have it in 30 languages?..

I still say robo-cop is the best blu ray transfer…

“Dead or alive… You’re coming with me…”

Yeah, your mother gave it to me, douce. She told me she let you keep the pink alarm clock that came with it though. She said it fits in nicely on your dresser right next to your tampons. Dick. lol

Hell no I don’t have that shit! My girl wants it probably. They need to put Alladin on Blu.

It’s a nice pink alarm clock. :sad:

I know Disney outlined their releases and someone did post it up a few months ago. Like, one OG Disney animated movie per season or some shit. I think Wall-E comes out next month.

The Incredibles is one of the discs I am most looking forward too. They really need to just get to it already.

My Ironman will be here tomorrow, I also picked up the Ultimate Unrated Comedy Collection and Beowulf. I heard Beowulf is real impressive on Blu.

Buy the new one from another vendor and then “return” the broken one to him.

Don’t forget that Miramax is Disney too. Yes. The Rock is technically a Disney transfer.
