Have you ever regret spending money on a certain blu-ray?

What? It's probably one of the best black and white films ever made.

It is but I just thought it was 4/5 at most.

I agree completely, comparing the 2 I find Persona a 9 or 10 for the director, and 7th Seal a 4 or less. Persona is exciting and interesting. The 7th Seal is like a 3 hour boring ass church sermon. It's dull and mundane.

The movie is also spoiled right from the start, and the director gives away the ending minutes into it anyway. That's just movie making DON'T. You're better off reading Tolstoys short story The Death Of Ivan Ilyich, or watching Kurosawa's take (which I haven't yet) in Ikiru because I've had and previously read the book for over a decade before I knew it was made into a movie. The 7th Seal is one of those overrated movies no different than TDK. It's simply overrated, and doesn't deliver anything exceptional it's just an over hyped spectacle of even older ideas done more interestingly and previously if you care to look around.

I really like your collection/taste in movies.

I got caught up in Black Friday fever the past couple of years, and bought Pacific Rim, G.I Joe 2, Into Darkness, Brave, Monsters University, Despicable Me, and WWZ in 2D

Now I have a 3D projector.

Also the Tom Cruise blu-ray collection. No bonus feature discs.

Gotta say - Bachelor Party.

I like a lot of dumb similar movies but I couldn't get through this one it just has them all beat.

Veronica Mars · 09-13-2014, 09:43 PM

The list is too long for me to type out.

But I did like Noah, though.

Dark City - Love the movie but it's the only Blu-Ray in my collection that has a sound problem.
Sunshine - Mine has the pip problem. Still haven't gotten around to requesting a replacement disc. Otherwise, the movie is great.

DeadEyesSmiling · 09-13-2014, 09:47 PM

The only blu-ray I've ever returned was Bram Stoker's Dracula. I had remembered not really loving it, but thought I'd pick it up on blu-ray to revisit it. The movie was horrible and the picture quality was abysmal. I couldn't get it out of my collection fast enough.

2$ blind buy and it's impossible to sell, i'm about to throw it out

Face/Off. Great flick, but the DNR is so bad it renders it unwatchable, literally. And I have a fairly high tolerance for that sort of thing.
