Home Alone (1990) (25th Anniversary Edition) (Remastered)

[fergusor]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know about this?

I'll be visiting friends in San Diego but come home on the day it's released so I'll have to order online, any idea where yet?

Thanks,
Richard.

Ugh. No thanks. A paint can? Really? I won't be surprised if the discs are just stacked in that can.

[Akijama]

Interesting. Another anniversary edition from Fox.

[rdodolak]

The discs appear to be enclosed in another tin/case but, I agree, who comes up with these collector's editions. I can't see a paint can set selling all that well.

Interesting way to market the series. But who in the hell would want to have Home Alone 4 & 5. Part 3 I can tolerate but the other two. ....mehh

The package only contains the first two movies.

That's what I thought. That's why I asked earlier!

Home Alone is already available in 4K for streaming services. Hopefully they will use that transfer. Current Blu-ray is not that bad. But it can always be better.

The only thing I'll be interested to see is if the audio glitch on Home Alone 2 is fixed. Doubt it, but it would be a nice surprise.

What glitch, do you have a time code? I'm happy to check, if the European disc is affected too.

*edit...
nevermind...

Worst CE packaging ever. I think I can live without having Home Alone in 4k. Plus, the sequels all suck. I'll stick with my bargain bin blu-ray copy.

A lot of the time a really good AVC 1080p encode of a movie can look better than 4K streaming.

Can't you just imagine these being used as weapons on BF?

I love the slaphazard way the discs are flipped over on one another, as if to advertise how easily they can and will be scratched!

Haha I can see that CE being clearance out fast

The first movie was never really bad to begin with so why a 4k remaster? Is it just a money grab? I have the double pack. Is it worth upgrading? I think I paid $15 for the two movie set. I can live without the DVD's. I know 4k is the rage now but my tv is a 1080p and my Blu Ray is a standard BD player. I like remasters when they fix problems. As I understand it to do a 4k from scratch from original film takes a lot of time but because of the resolution they can fix a lot more than if only doing a 2k print. But if the 2k was already good, then rebuying is for what, a teeny tiny better print and maybe a new extra? Right now I'm 50/50 on rebuying the first movie and 75/25 against buying the second since it won't be a remaster.

If they have 4k streams, does it still pay to buy physical discs, especially ones in 1080p?

If you have a UV version in 2k but a 4k stream version comes out do you automatically get upgraded to the new version?

It is definitely awkward packaging. Back when I had a much smaller collection I used to be more accepting towards these kind of collectibles. But now almost a decade into blu ray's life these are just getting tougher to organize. Digibooks and steelbooks are about as far as I'll go now since they seat comfortably with the other releases. So as cool as the battle plan map and similar widgets from other sets are, I'm willing to forgo them for the benefit of shelf uniformity of standard releases.

Have lost in new York on bluray but not home alone

My favorite films from John Hughes will always be Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Vacation. It's always hysterical to see Steve Martin and Chevy Chase get absolute sh_t luck in them.
