- Comment on What’s the cheapest/easiest way to get a non-region locked Blu Ray player? 1 week ago:
When I’m away from home, I watch blurays with my laptop, an external BD drive and PowerDVD. You can only change Blu-ray regions five times but there are a couple of PowerDVD system files to delete and this resets the counter.
After researching, it seems Blu-ray drives are all region free but it’s the software/firmware of the device controlling it that determines the region settings.
This does not apply to DVDs where the region settings is in the drives firmware but can be bypassed with things like AnyDVD I think.

- Comment on Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them 2 weeks ago:
I read elsewhere that they will replace the disc if they have any stock which is unlikely as most of the titles are out of print. Apparently you can pick another film instead. A like for like replacement.
- Comment on Found these in a cabinet at work. Boss told me to make them disappear. 3 weeks ago:
Did you guys never get plastic cases for your VHS tapes? Were they always cardboard sleeves?
Here in the UK, they were always in plastic cases.
- Comment on Hundreds of your Warner Bros DVDs probably don't work anymore 3 weeks ago:
On a slightly different note here in the UK, TV studios back in the 1960s/70s had all their programs stored on magnetic tapes. When they desperately needed more tapes, they grabbed some off the shelf and wiped the contents. Whatever on that tape was then lost for all time!

It must be just me, but I can’t see what’s so different about this new Shrek?
- Comment on [Discussion] Whats a movie you thought would be terrible but you ended up liking? 4 weeks ago:
In a perfect world, I’d like a hybrid version. I think that some jokes in the extended cut fall a bit flat. Ideally, I would like the theatrical cut of the film but with the full dance number of the extended cut.
In a way, I’m quite happy the majority seem to hate it. I picked up the 2 disc Blu-ray edition in a Poundland store for just £2! When I got my PS5, it was one of the first 4K discs I purchased as it was only £5.
Liking the unpopular film has its advantages. 😁
- Comment on [Discussion] Whats a movie you thought would be terrible but you ended up liking? 4 weeks ago:
I remember watching Tenet for the first time and giving up because the sound mix is rather odd, and I find it hard to hear what the characters are saying. A year or so later, I stuck on a pair of decent headphones and tried again. Watched it all the way through and absolutely loved it.
I’m also one of the rare people to actually enjoy Ghostbusters (2016)! The trailers had me worried, and I expected the worst to be honest.

- Comment on How it started/How it's going 4 weeks ago:
There’s a guy who sometimes pops up on my Instagram feed who is collecting just copies on VHS. Here’s an article from last year : Experience: I own nearly 3,000 VHS tapes of Titanic.
- Comment on Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision 4 weeks ago:
Henry Cavill screen tested for Casino Royale back in 2006 as mentioned in the article, but he is too old now.
And not just because these auditions were found on a VHS tape that was found in a dumpster last month 😁, at the same time, there were tests with Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend and Anthony Starr.

- Comment on Why don't movies look like *movies* anymore? 5 weeks ago:
Did anyone try watching Gemini Man in 60fps?
That takes some getting used to. It’s hard to describe, it’s like watching someone’s home video. It doesn’t feel cinematic at all.

- Comment on The Live Action Masters of the Universe film has started shooting. 5 weeks ago:
Have you seen the original Hellraiser? I think it’s supposed to be set in the US, but the problem is, at one point in the film two US policemen show up at the door. Considering they’re quite clearly on an English housing estate, I wasn’t quite sure what was going on!

If you wanna provide the money, I’m sure they will. It’s always about the money.

I really liked the first film, I should watch it again. I’ll skip the trailer though for the sequel, probably reveals too much.
- Comment on Constantine 2 | Sequel "closer than ever" says director Francis Lawrence 5 weeks ago:
I notice a lot of the comic fans don’t like this film because he’s not blonde and from Liverpool. I never read the comics so this is my introduction to the character. I love the film. 😁

I’ve just read a review that mentions the reshoots with the green screen shots are of such a low quality, they were surprised it got past Disney quality control.
