The price makes me want to jump, but if Im right she/he has multiple accounts with similar names, always good feedback but low numbers.

Anybody familiar with it?

Japanese edition of The Thing, original, is it DNR'd? I'm about to pull the trigger on a huge order, so adding it wont hurt if no one knows.

what is the word on the three highlander endgame blu ray releases?

thanks! figured as much but was hoping for a last option.

Anyone have any information on the best Predestination release to get ? (obviously not the UK one which I just watched on rental which is barebones, no subtitles and wrong aspect ratio as well!)

why is this poster not banned already?

I don't know but if I was HD, I would be very upset already!!!

And considering his last posts, I really regret answering him previously. I gave him my point of view on the UK disc but I don't know what he wants. Apparently no member (at least no member reading this very thread) bought any other releases of this movie than the UK disc, but he keeps asking.
I can't answer anything else than it looks OK. No remaster, no nothing. Still it's better than the DVD. What could I write more about it. I'm no professionnal reviewer. I watched the disc once when I bought it years ago.

Simple solution:

User CP -> Settings & Options -> Edit Ignore List -> Add "batman2000"

It's worked for me and countless others, I'm sure.

I could be wrong, but I have always thought that member Batman2000 must have some sort of illness, in which case some leeway is perhaps required.

The questions he often wants to know only a select few could answer, and the fact that he demands such quick answers is unrealistic IMO. To be honest, he needs take one for the team from time to time (though even if he did I don't know whether I would trust his feedback anyway), this is how these answers to his questions get discovered. Wasting a few dollars here and there is a sacrifice that you have to be prepared to make, rather than leeching off of every else's contributions all the time.

I'm pretty sure virtually every member here has an illness of some kind.

I dont know how you do with regions but heres what i have:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Prede...lu-ray/118213/

US is in 2.39.1 with lossless sound and it has a few extras, 75min feature, bloopers, and another feature.

I think an employee has this one, region bfriendly
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Prede...lu-ray/114154/

i wasn't trying to be annoying it's just there's no infomation on these releases and i just wanted to know if i should get the hong kong release or not because i don't have a region free player and i just want to know it's not an upscale or compressed or other video issues. i seen a lot people who have the uk release and some who have the hong kong release and two who have the spain release and there no reviews of them anywhere that's why i asked that's all i mean if there were no reviews of the tv series i would have bought a garbage upscale. i just like to know i'm not getting ripped off. please i'm sorry i just don't know where to look. how do find out what releases that have no reviews look like so you don't get ripped off?

The Nordic one is supposed to be similar to the US release, but Region B friendly. I think it's difficult to import to the UK now though.

i'll try to make this my lost post on here so i don't bother anyone anymore. how do you find out what releases that don't have reviews are good if there are no reviews so you don't get ripped off? even amazon who sells the uk and hong kong release don't have reviews on them i don't know where to go for an answer.

If someone already has the release you could try PMing them to ask or post in the respective International country forum asking the question. Other than that, and if no one else owns it, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, take a risk, and purchase the release to find out. Someone has to purchase every release to find out otherwise we'd never get any information about any release. That's just the way it is.

I'm sure there are some who would gladly help you if they could. You just need to calm down a bit and be patient. Sometimes you may not ever get an answer, unfortunately that's just how it is. Ultimately someone has to be "ripped off". How do you think people review discs in the first place? Unless someone is given a review copy for free, we all have to purchase certain titles to find out the quality of the disc.

isn't there someone who might be willing to ether buy the three blu rays and review them or buy them and put screenshots on caps a holic.com along with the dvd version?
