Sling Blade Help Anyone? - Blu-ray Forum

Kinsella5 · 08-08-2009, 09:33 PM

Just picked up Sling Blade on Blu-ray, surprised not many people have discussed this film. Not in my top ten or even twenty but a very well done film with a great cast. Was curious if anyone out there already owns the DVD but doesn't plan on picking up the Blu-ray that can spare their UPC symbol. Would like to redeem the upgrade rebate, but I never owned it on DVD. Worth a shot, thought I would ask. Send me a private message if you can help out.

Slingblade is a movie I will get. But it is preceeded by about 100 other titles that I would rather own.

I have no plans to buy atm, but if it comes cheap, I may grab it.

I'm in the same boat. I will definitely buy it eventually but I'm in no hurry to get it.

I picked up the blu-ray, its pretty good somes scenes don't look that good, dark one. not on my tv anyway's I think my tv is crap when it comes to proucing blacks. Audio was very bland most of the movies was from one speaker only a few scenes took advantange of the surround sound. If all the blu's I watch suck on dark scenes and look great in the daytime scenes that is my tv right??

What did you guys think of the PQ and AQ of this movie?

Anyone pick up the recent copy of this at Best Buy that includes the digital UV code? If so, Does this release include the very same disc as all previous releases? Curious if the main menu is any different.

Thanks!

It's $5 at Target. I've been picking up other $5 BD films. Eventually, I will own it.

I'd say there is a 99.99999% chance it's the same disc from before. Just a new cover banner and DC included. Remasters get press, the site gets press, press gets argued about on the site. No arguing going on about this one = no press.

Yep, same disc. Only difference is the banner and UV DC as you mentioned.
