Great disc, my review here.....http://blurayreviewer.co.uk

Villiam Hayes · 11-23-2012, 08:18 PM

I just had an email from Zavvi apologising because my order for Southern Comfort hasn't been sent.

Dickieduvet · 11-23-2012, 11:22 PM

Sooo glad I cancelled my Zavvi order now!!

Switched my order to 'Play' on Thurs and it was posted within the hour, £3 more expensive but it is Southern F'N Comfort

rjf78 · 11-23-2012, 11:40 PM

i reckon that amazon price will drop pretty soon. £11.99 in a few weeks.

Dickieduvet · 11-24-2012, 01:03 AM

Yep, It's just dropped from £17.75 to £13.99

Arrived this morning from Play

Can't wait to give it a spin. Comes in nice slipbox too, I was only expecting a slipcase. I love Second Sight.

Ok, maybe my memory doesn't serve me right in this case.

Dickieduvet · 11-27-2012, 12:35 AM

Been waiting for so long for it's BD debut, Gotta say I'm disappointed with the transfer after watching it.

At times it looks like an upscaled DVD and at others it looks just OK...Meh!!

Gutted

It doesn't sound good,I have cancelled my Zavvi order which still hasn't shipped,that worked out a blessing in disguise!
I will wait for a decent price drop before picking this one up.

beadelf · 11-27-2012, 08:23 AM

had a quick look last night!

didnt look awful to me! its never been the most beautiful looking film in any incarnation that ive owned! Id says its easily the best presentation thus far. Well thats my opinion.

check out some other reviews ive seen a lot more positive reviews, to be honest i think blu ray definition is a pretty poor site anyhow.

Vertigo2010 · 11-27-2012, 08:55 AM

I thought the transfer was pretty good - a world away from any previous DVD releases at any rate. And the 45 minute interview with Walter Hill is worth the purchase price anyway if you're a true fan of the film.

ive not watched the extra feature yet but look forward to it!

yes this is easily better than dvd and vhs versions ive seen

Dickieduvet · 11-27-2012, 09:53 AM

Agreed it's the best it's looked thus far, Perhaps I was expecting too much. I'd rate the PQ 3/5 at a push and that's being generous. The Walter Hill interview is excellent though.

drees5761 · 11-27-2012, 10:06 AM

Compared to the R1 DVD i have it is far superior. Most of the reviews i have read have been positive and i think its a very good transfer.

Dickieduvet · 11-28-2012, 04:05 PM

Probably a little harsh Geoff, Yes. Still stick with my initial 3/5 though. Those caps at the BD-Definition review are a clear indication of what's on the disc. If folks are happy with those, Fair play, Hope you enjoy it. I was just hoping for more as It's a personal favourite, If it had looked as good as The Warriors or even The Long Riders I would of been more than happy.

Geoff D · 11-28-2012, 06:38 PM

The Warriors has been smacked around with the DNR stick though, it's a typical early Paramount catalogue title. It's better than some DNR disasters I've seen but it's still a bit too processed for my liking, and it doesn't help that it's the crappy 'director's cut'. I much prefer the UK theatrical DVD because the transfer on that is very nice, very naturalistic, with the grain where it should be, oodles of detail and slightly more subdued colour - not unlike the BD of Southern Comfort...

You don't sell drugs! You don't molest little children! You don't profit off the misery of others! The rules were set a long time ago! They don't change!

I could always tell the judge it was a matter of confession...
