Just rewatched the old Blu-ray of Fallen Angels (WKW), a pretty dark movie overall, color-wise. I forgot to move the chair into the desk before beginning. It was in front of the speaker the whole time. Good thing it's netted, allowing some sound to go through. Good thing it's black, because I couldn't even see it. At all. If I had seen it, I would have moved it in. Never happened before.

OK, a blind buy for Where the Crawdads Sing based on your post.

bhampton · 11-08-2022, 02:58 PM

Enjoy

And I just read about AMC Zoom Rooms

AMC is turning movie theaters into Zoom Rooms for big-screen videoconferencing / Yes, you will be able to get popcorn and soda during your all-hands — and may even be able to catch a movie afterwards.

Theater meetings. It's like school days when they wheel in the TV.

sort of.

Looks like Amazon is doing BF deals early on a lot of UHD BD and BD titles. Judging by the ship times they have sold out on several titles.

bhampton · 11-08-2022, 04:12 PM

In previous years I noticed the titles that go to Redbox in the US are the titles that come up as Black Friday promos in the US.

I've seen more of that this year so far. And it looks like a lot of places just declare the whole month the be Black Friday now.

cheez avenger · 11-08-2022, 09:39 PM

Hooked up the new APTV4K and right off the bat, this thing is fast and has great response to the remote. Speaking of the remote it has the new USB-C input, so I will need to grab an adapter at some point in order to recharge it. I don't have any hardware that is USB-C compliant at the moment and all the new Apple stuff will have it.

bhampton · 11-09-2022, 05:17 PM

some of my early Black Friday Sales orders just arrived.

I really enjoyed this blu that arrived yesterday. Much better than my DVD and so much better than the iTunes version which isn't even in the correct AR.

Mind sharing the reason for procuring a new one?

I rarely use my Apple remote, the main use use is my programmable remote for the ATV4K (and about 19 other devices

).

Just wanted that chip boost and to have the latest one. Whenever it comes to the newest streaming box-gear, I want the latest APTV4K for sure. What also sealed the deal was that a buddy of mine that works for Apple gave me one of his discount on the device.

cheez avenger · 11-10-2022, 02:30 AM

Snagged a 4K disc copy of Saturday Night Fever, Casablanca, and Dressed to Kill from Best Buy.

bhampton · 11-10-2022, 12:16 PM

I stopped buying Disney UHD when I realized I will always have D+

But, Black Friday prices are too much fun. I expect to get caught up on a lot of Disney titles I passed on starting with Love and Thunder.

Will be looking for Luca, Turning Red, Raya and more.

Edit - Ordered Lightyear even though I never finished it on streaming. Trying to resist ordering Mobius as I never finished that one streaming but I think that will have to hit $5.

The last Disney movie I bought was Dr Strange Multiverse. I liked the first one and am a Sam Raimi fan, so it made sense. Happy I did, as I really enjoyed it and was able to dial the system in to overcome some of the usual Disney audio shortcomings. The video was beautiful on it also. Before that it was Cruella, but still haven’t popped it in yet.

Alexcap · 11-10-2022, 03:22 PM

there is a new label coming to the UK called treasured films and their first release is the Antonio Margheriti the last hunter

cheez avenger · 11-10-2022, 09:47 PM

Scored two new titles on 4K disc:

The Outsiders
Bad Times at the El Royale

Both were used, The Outsiders was from GameFly and El Royale was from 3rd market seller on Amazon.

I finally picked up Edge of Tomorrow 4K. I'll get it next month.

bhampton · 11-11-2022, 11:49 AM

Tried not to upgrade The Green Mile.

This Black Friday I dare any UHD BD to be $10.

Wendell R. Breland · 11-11-2022, 02:46 PM

The blind buy of Where the Crawdads Sing was a winner, thanks to the post here. I like the music track by Mychael Danna. Quite a few years ago purchased a CD titled North of Niagara by Mychael Danna & Tim Clement, a favorite of the New Age genre.

With the Amazon sale have added several titles to the library. For western fans added Guns for San Sebastian and thought the A/V was quite good for a 1968 movie. Used Pro Logic IIx for the two channel audio track with pleasing results.

This is pretty big. I'm being super selective with my Blu-ray purchases now. UHDs are pretty much inevitable as the market grows since there's more profit to be made.
