Comment on Home theater fans are being starved of the new 4K Blu-ray releases they want and it's not okay

  I need to invest a bit of energy and cash in it… I was planning on being a slightly different kind of hipster,

  I’ve definitely gone for a more quality not quantity approach recently - I went through a stage when DVDs first appeared of trying to buy every zombie movie but the output kept ramping up and hit about 1 a day. So I threw in the hat.

  but a good record player is way to expensive these days :-)

  I’ve got an audiophile friend who has about half a dozen. That’s drunk eBaying for you.

  Long story short; Fox expertly torpedoed the first and last movie I worked on…

  Ouch. A friend was in negotiations to join the big push to get the special effects on Bargirl finished right at the moment they decided to write it all of against tax. He got a good story out it at least, although he was looking forward to the experience of working on a big superhero movie.

  I need to be supporting these efforts that treat the work with the respect it deserves. I don’t think most folks could even imagine how hard it is to make a movie. Even a crappy movie :-)

  And the great thing is there’s enough people out there interested in even a pretty poor shot-on-video film to justify a fancy release (unless folks like Visual Vengeance have messed up their business model). There are even releases of what could be called “outsider” films that is really just some guy beavering away with his friends knocking out films made round their neighbourhood.
