i have both (&used to have the HD DVD a long time ago). i've also seen this theatrically a while ago in June. the PQ is pretty bad even in the cinema, so let's get that out of the way. the source is poo poo, nothing we can do about it. having said that, this is (likely) the best the PQ will look for the foreseeable future.
the SC BD has framing issues towards the end of the movie, black bars show up and you can see where the print ends. Criterion DVD does NOT have this issue. SC BD (despite a bit more resolution) feels more like a hack job, you might as well grab the DVD. in terms of subtitle quality, the theatrical cut i saw had the best subs.... but that translation was never included in either the DVD or the BD. i think the Criterion is better of the two SC BD just has all types of crap that doesn't make sense. so all in all due to framing issues on SC BD, poor subtitles, i'd vote for the Criterion DVD hands down! |

I agonized over the decision to buy the Blu-ray for a long time, having read the reviews etc.... and finally picked it up via the trading forum here..... I have watched the film twice since picking it up here...... Once was the BD I got, the other was my Criterion DVD version..... I'll probably NEVER watch the current SC BD version of Ran again....... It's not terrible.... but I much prefer my DVD copy of it..... it looks a LOT more natural.

the SC copy i have is the imported UK version that is all cardboard/paper, not the case edition. and for some strange reason it smells like piss, there's a nice little booklet that came w/it. aaanyways...
just got Black Narcissus. is it me or is the artwork bleed a lot larger than the plastic case itself? no matter how i fidget with it... the artwork is larger than the plastic that covers it... so should i chop that extra edge off? there's only 2 titles i don't have from the B&N sale: 8½ and Lola Montes. after that it'll complete what i gots =D |

I thought the Bluray of course looked much better then the DVD. Although had criterion released it on Bluray it probably would have looked even better. That being said I liked the StudioCanal release very much.
The edge enhancement it barely noticable and the added grain adds a lot IMO. You can go over to DVDbeaver.com for a in depth comparision. There's are a few people that said the colors are closer to how it looked theatrically, but not perfect. Last edited by Banned User; 07-28-2010 at 04:47 PM. |

It's been the worst time ever to have had bank issues left and right, but I was finally able to put in an order. Here's my rundown, hidden away as to avoid "list persecution"
![]() [Show spoiler] Hoping to make one more go-round before its all over. It's funny that the entire time leading up to the sale I was planning to just finish out the remaining Blu's, but there are just so many good DVD's, I couldn't pass them up. I definitely have to get "Berlin Alexanderplatz" again. I think someone else mentioned this happening to them, but I ordered it a few months back from someone on Amazon and received a (quite impressive) Asian bootleg. The box was near perfect, save for it having a generic "7 Disc DVD Set" logo where the spine number should have been. |

the very first sale they had for the 50% off... I spent over 1,300.00 and I had 25% off coupons and I used a coupon for every single dvd i bought on top of my member discount. I had friends shop with me in about 7-8 area stores. It was crazy

Debating on what to get for my final purchases for the B&N sale. Should I get Red Desert or The Red Shoes on BD? Or Kobayshi's "The Human Condition" on DVD?
P.S. CG, I have a tip from one Batman geek to another. Go check out the new DCAU movie "Batman: Under the Red Hood". I wasn't expecting much, but I LOVED it. It's a little jarring at first not to have Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill's voices, but it was a fantastic DCAU movie, and the best one since "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" IMO. ![]() |

speaking of Benjamin Button, does anyone have the custom cover that will fit in the clear criterion cases? I found the link many many pages back but its been taken down :-/
if anyone can please help me out and pm me or post it here I'd be very happy! also how are you guys ordering these opposed to other blu rays? Do you mix them in by title or have your own "criterion" section? I really haven't decided if I'll mix them with my 300 other discs or keep em seperate |

Uggh. It's worse than that. I ordered from B&N on the 21st. They used DHL to ship to the post office so the post office can deliver it to me. That would be fine if my post office had received it yet. DHL doesn't know where my package is, but Barnes and Noble won't ship a new one.
