I know this is being released elsewhere, but I think it is dumb not to have this match the other Kubrick steels.

rickah88 · 02-27-2015, 02:04 PM

Kind of bummed they didn't even include the Monolith in the artwork.

BigNickUK · 02-27-2015, 02:18 PM

Or that it didnt follow the minimal artwork of all the other Kubrick steels from Zavvi

CouncilSpectre · 02-27-2015, 02:32 PM

I agree. But.....I do really like the artwork on this one, and I don't have the other Kubrick steels anyway. Sold!

Same here and since you have to go the flebay route to get The Shining I never got A Clockwork Orange or Full Metal Jacket even when they hit £9.99.

The other ones look a bit rubbish though. This looks great in my opinion, much better than the Canadian edition.

surfdude12 · 02-27-2015, 03:19 PM

same transfer?

anephric · 02-27-2015, 03:32 PM

It's... okay. I'd have preferred the starchild or any of the 100 other more iconic images than Dave in a corridor.

And the other Kubrick steels looked mince. Zero effort, completely wasted opportunities.

Red Dragon · 02-27-2015, 04:09 PM

...shall be mine!!!!!

Okay, so sue me ...I'm somewhat (well, truth be told, more than somewhat), of a rabid Science Fiction fan(atic)/cinephile/Kubrick worshipper!

Yes.

VC-1 video codec and LPCM audio.

Will they ever remaster this title and bring it up to modern standards?

JJJ225 · 02-27-2015, 09:04 PM

Love this. I've never bought a movie to own two copies of the same movie, just for the case. I have the Kubrick box set, but this art is so beautiful it's tempting.

Tompa · 02-27-2015, 09:32 PM

Front and back artwork should've been switched.

Wireduck1 · 02-28-2015, 01:07 AM

Same manufacturing production run as http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00T...ilpage_o02_s00

I KEEL YOU · 02-28-2015, 02:08 AM

Love that interior artwork. Oh yeah, smash that tapir skull...

I think that the starchild should've been on the back, that way all three stages of the movie would've been represented, instead of featuring Dave twice.

kubrickfincher · 02-28-2015, 02:28 AM

Sold out already! AHHH!!!!!!

Really wanted that one
