why wouldn't they? it's still okay with Fear and Loathing ordered in march for 12.49 (excluding vat)

If only it was Local Hero or Comfort and Joy. I've tried to get into Gregory's Girl and just never could, Hell I even gave the sequel a try.

Kes & Gregory's Girl are the truest depictions of childhood / schooldays / adolescence, even first love, certainly in the UK.

If most US High School movies are even remotely accurate it's no wonder Trump got in.

I would recommend you try Frederick Wiseman's High School or High School II for a true example of what American High School is like.

Anyone else watched this yet? I was really disappointed with the PQ. Felt the reds were overblown and the whole thing was awash with pink

[mindset]

The opening scene very nearly blew my eyes out LOL

Took some jiggery-pokery on my tv to get it looking something like.....

I had this in the mail from rarewaves today and I vote looks great.

Received mine today from amazon, happy they honoured the pricing error (I paid only £12.99).
Was concerned about reports of the PQ being overblown with reds and awash with pink and for a moment considered just sending it back to amazon unopened, but for the price paid decided to keep it.
And glad I did. Had a quick scan through it to check and did not notice any of the problems mentioned above.
Looks great.

This is a stunning disc, just amazing stuff.

Is the trailer missing audio for anyone else?
And that American dub is just a horror show

I think the trailer audio is mono. If your setup has issues with that, you might need to change an option somewhere. What's your audio setup? TV speakers, soundbar, AV receiver?

[andreasy969]

Can confirm the trailer coming with AC3 mono audio and plays fine here.

Big improvement over the 2013 resto, which wasnt bad ether (aside the lousy compression of Second Sight in that era).

Can you confirm if the BBFC rating card and ITC Film Distributors "pinwheel" logo are there like the SS BD?

I don't own the SecondSight BD, but I guess that's a yes re. the former:



and a yes re. the latter:

I had it set up for mono for the movie itself so very odd there.

Guess it must be my eyes then, as you were

[Agent Kay]

It's flawless as a presentation

[NoFro]

Also thought this looked fantastic.

[HeckYourUp]

Watched it for the first time a few days ago so don't have any comparison to previous releases. But to my eyes, it looked great.
