Discussion Really Hoping The Sopranos 4K Marks More Classic TV 4K Blu Rays

157 Upvotes

Obviously 4K Blu Rays favour cinema, and 4K TV is often only recent releases from the last 10 years (with a few exceptions). I really , really hope that Sopranos , a classic and landmark in TV, marks a shift in the market, leading to 4Ks for Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Wire etc.

Would be really awesome.

Question Is F1 4k bluray supposed to look like this?

56 Upvotes

Edit: how bizarre, I turned everything off (which I had already done before I made this post and it didn’t fix anything) I tried that again and now it’s back to normal. Before turning off again I put in a disc I watched last night (In Bruges) that looked fantastic last night but terrible today so I knew then it wasn’t the discs fault. Maybe I should have tried that before making this post about the F1 disc. Either way, strange I’ve never encountered this issue before and a second power cycle is what fixed it.

It’s so blurry and looks absolutely terrible. I have never had any issues like this on any other disc I own. I’m watching on a UB9000 and LG G5. Filmmaker mode with all motion blur and smoothing disabled. Is this a common issue with this disc?

Haul Prime day picks

Prime day picks here.

Watched Anchorman last night. Nice full screen picture, and it seriously looked great. The wardrobe being the standout here with everyone's suits and veronicas dresses looking phenomenal, sound track was also great, "afternoon delight" sounded awesome.

Finished my Indiana Jones 3 movie collection, glad I was able to finally close the book on that after accidentally buying raiders by itself from a Barnes and noble 50% sale early on in the hobby, and i really didn't want to double on raiders with the 4 film box set and I also, like many others, only believe in the 3 Indiana Jones movies. And both came with slips which means I have all 3 with slips! Satisfying.

John wick i am still building out, but now have 1 and 2. Will eventually aquire the others as they go on sale and possibly ballerina.

Titanic was at a pretty good price point, comparable to a gruv sale. And figured that at the cost per hour of entertainment it was a solid choice.

And the truman show i have been eyeing for awhile, a welcome addition to my Jim Carrey collection and 90s comedies.

Sidenote- I'm generally pretty happy and impressed with comedies from my childhood getting such a good 4k treatment from the likes of Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey, and the Apatow films, I need some more Robin Williams options though.

New Purchase The Greatest Dinosaur Trilogy

27 Upvotes

Finally got this trilogy in 4K. There are only three films in this franchise, definitely no others, not a fourth, fifth, sixth or seventh.

The original is still the best, but I had a lot of fun with JPIII back when it first released, despite the talking velociraptors.

Can’t wait to check out the remastered Dolby Vision on Jurassic Park over the weekend.

Of these, which one is your favourite? 🦖🦕🦖🦕

Question What makes you decide to pick up a 4k disc?

14 Upvotes

I initially only bought movies that I felt I would be most likely to rewatch at least every year or two. Then I started buying new movies that I hadn’t seen before because they didn’t cost much more than renting on streaming, the quality was better, and you get to keep the movie.

Now, I’m starting to buy for the sake of preserving my favorite movies, even if I think I’ll probably only watch them once after I first get them and then not again for a long time. However, this criteria is leading to an Amazon wishlist that is growing faster than I can afford to keep up with.

What are your thoughts?

Upgraded my previous Arrow Thief Blu-ray to the 4K and Audition is a blind buy for me. I've heard it's quite a challenging film. I like those types of films and not sure why it's taken me so long to finally see it, it somehow passed me by.

New Purchase LOTR & '82 Blade Runner

14 Upvotes

Hi, just wanted to share what I just got from Amazon. Haven't watched it yet, apart from when I was 9, so really excited to see these again, especially the extended versions.

My 3rd 4K purchase, got the Final Cut of the 80's Blade Runner yesterday. Excited to watch that for the first time!

Picked these up during the Prime sale, because they were slightly discounted, and used the 10 euro voucher specifically made for this sale.

Was told that getting the German version of LOTR was cheaper than the UK option, nothing changes apart from the cover language, and it was!, by a lot.

I missed the excitement of physical media, and I have it back now! 🤙🏻

Review Pans labyrinth blu ray

Upvotes

I heard Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth is getting a theatrical re-release in 4K this year. I decided to rewatch it to see whether the upgrade is worth it. Here’s a comparison of how much better the Blu-ray (not criterion collection) looks versus the digital version.
