- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 1 day ago:
Aliens can be quite divisive. Some people like the very clean digital look but I prefer the Blu-ray release which has quite a lot of natural grain too it. But if you compare editions, you’ll see that over the years, with each release, Cameron has changed the look of the film in regards to colours.
In an ideal world, studios, with directors assistance and approval, would scan the camera negative and leave it at that with no tinkering afterwards. 😄
In regards to Cameron’s other films, they’ve all had various use of AI but Titanic and The Abyss come out really well and I believe The Terminator hasn’t done too badly either.

I would just add that if you feel inclined, always research what 4K you’d like to buy next by reading reviews and using sites like https://caps-a-holic.com/ to compare old blurays to the new 4K editions.
It’s rare but just because it’s a 4K release, that’s not always a guarantee that it will be better. Some filmmakers like to use the opportunity to change the way the film looks entirely. Also, some filmmakers are using AI to improve the picture quality (cough! James Cameron) and it doesn’t always come out the best. In other words, stay away from True Lies in 4K, it’s awful.
If done properly, older films can look wonderful, such as Top Gun, Back to the Future, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Yes, I own those. 😁

I bet importing some of those titles to the UK wouldn’t be cheap. Bollocks.

This was a project at Netflix for a long time, and just recently I learnt they had spent $30m on pre-production before letting the project go.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus fixed a CGI issue for the home video release 1 week ago:
I presume it’s the fact they’re all just made on a production line like the way all T800,Cyberdyne systems model 101 terminators all look like Arnold.
The fact it looks like Ash means fans are already suspicious of it’s intentions, caring more for the preservation of the xenomorph rather than human life. It’s also a blatant nostalgic throwback for fans of the original.
Personally, I didn’t like the fact it links back to Prometheus. The whole film has too many Easter eggs which was too distracting.

- Comment on In the Lost Lands | Official Trailer 1 week ago:
I really like the original Mortal Kombat and am a huge fan of Event Horizon. Then Anderson stumbled with Soldier, which is OK. The most interesting fact is that die to an Easter egg, it is actually set within the Blade Runner universe.
Alien Vs Predator I really like, despite the alien gestation time being really short, but the film does contain the best shot ever, the look of a surprised predator. Always makes me laugh.

I like the way the final shot of the film has no context to anything else beforehand. At a guess, I reckon it’s from a CG heavy final fight? Maybe a flashback?

I shouldn’t be able to pick out the individual photoshop layers! 😄 The design isn’t bad, it’s just put together poorly. They clearly stand out from the background, the lighting doesn’t match.

- Comment on Collecting physical media? You should make a list 1 week ago:
I have an old DVDProfiler listing for my DVDs but I think it’s incomplete. I emailed the company about restoring my login credentials but they never replied. I have the listing page bookmarked still.
For my Blu-rays and 4Ks, I use the Blu-ray.com app just to keep a simple list. I mostly use it when hunting for films in charity shops and to make sure I don’t accidently buy the same film again.
- Comment on Day 170 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 weeks ago:
Blue Shift was originally part of the Dreamcast port of Half Life. The game did leak and it was quite fun to experience it on the DreamCast but the problem was the game was in fairly small chunks and had to load off the CD which made the wait quite painful.
- Comment on 2024 end-of-year 4K Blu-ray blowout 2 weeks ago:
I expect they’re 1080p web downloads remuxed for BDRs. Allegedly. If you know about that sort of thing. 😆
I’ve been tempted to buy The Killer because that’s a Fincher film that won’t get a physical release I expect.
- Comment on 2024 end-of-year 4K Blu-ray blowout 2 weeks ago:
Ironic that Willow gets a 4K physical release and the sequel series is gone forever. (Unless you sail the seven seas or I’m sure someone on Etsy has burned them to BDRs. 😆)

The studios must realise that once it’s PVOD, your giving a perfect copy to the pirates!

Another quick release. I thought this only happened to the underperforming films.

A $26m worldwide opening weekend isn’t great, is it.
So that’ll be streaming on PVOD next week, with the 4K and Blu-ray two weeks later then, I guess? 😆

I was thinking of pickup up the Arrow Video Blu-ray in preparation for the upcoming release of the sequel. Is it just the 4K affected?

Beaten by thirteen minutes! 😆 Considering this never had a Blu-ray release, I may have to pick this one up.
