The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) - Blu-ray Forum

DisneyKrayzie · 01-24-2008, 06:30 AM

I just watched "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" I see it comes out on Feb. 5th
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B0010V60XE

I thought it was an amazing movie that really did not get as much promotion as it should have. Easily one of the best movies in a long time, how many people plan on buying this BD? Or have you even heard of it? I never heard of it until the other day during the Acadamy Award nominations.

yes actually i do plan on buying it, i think the hd trailer for it on psn is really awesome i have watched that over 30 times, i haven't watched the movie yet though, so it will be a blind buy , but i really hope it will be worth it.

Jokerboy649 · 01-24-2008, 07:04 AM

Yea I'll be picking this up as a blind buy as well.

I thought it was really long and really boring.

But I did like it more than Michael Clayton.

Why blind buy? It'll be better to rent it first that way you won't spend that much money on a film you might dislike. Just think about it this way, you blind buy it, you end up not liking the movie, and you sell it for less than what you bought it for

Blu-ray Fanatic · 01-24-2008, 07:19 AM

On the long run, you're losing money

Sylin · 01-24-2008, 07:24 AM

It'll be a blind buy for me. I think I can afford it.

I disagree. If I rent it and like it than I am paying 6.99 (my local rental fee) + the cost of the Blu-ray which equals anywhere between 26.98 - 36.98.

If I buy it and don't like it, I sell it for anywhere between 15-25 (I overcharge for shipping and I would feel bad about it if everyone on eBay didnt do it).

So basically if I buy it, dont like it, and sell it I lose roughly 16.98 (If I rent it first and decide not to buy it than i lose 6.99).

Considering the FACT that most of the movies (like 90%) I take an interest in I end up liking, I would lose more money renting first.

Renting for me is something to do when your 90% sure u dont wanna own the movie.

PS: I work for a Hollywood Video that does not rent Blus though I could get the DVDs for free, but who wants to watch DVDs.

+1. Don't just blind buy it but also blind watch it, it's so boring you'll probably fall asleep anyway...

Grisle · 01-24-2008, 10:23 AM

I really want this title too so it will be a blind buy. I have patience for great movies so I'll not be swayed by those who were bored. Can those of you who've seen it give me some comparisons of other films this might be like?

Hey Jesse is my girl , so be nice to her.

Lukestar · 01-25-2008, 11:34 AM

blind buy for me too.

kr00k · 01-24-2008, 05:41 PM

I've never seen this one myself but it's preordered.

The_End_88 · 01-25-2008, 01:39 AM

Yeah I'll probably blind buy too. I got a free $10 walmart.com card for them screwing up the Haz orders.
So yeah I hear that the movie looks great and has a narrator.
I love movies with strong narratives and lots and lots of great conversations/intricate dialouge. This movie seems to have a lot of both!

dperrone · 01-25-2008, 02:08 AM

blind buy for me, pre-ordered from Amazon. Looking forward to it.

Ice2Dragon · 01-25-2008, 04:43 AM

Im pissed.
Still no copy of this or the invasion.

Damn -_-V

imsounoriginal · 05-07-2017, 01:48 AM

Love this movie dearly, but the last time I tried rewatching it passed the eff out within like 20 minutes. Need to try again soon, I think I was just tired.

anephric · 05-07-2017, 11:17 PM

I'm not sure anyone would purposely cram a nearly three-hour film onto a BD25 with a load of edge enhancement as an aesthetic gesture, and also make sure there was no lossless audio, but hey.

Hence my suspicions mentioned above. But I distinctly remember him saying so because there was such a fervor about it during the time of it's theatrical re-release. Obviously I remembered it because his reasoning seemed odd to me.
