That is exactly when I grabbed it.

Ooh, I did not have Atmos capability when I watched the first one. Now I am even more stoked for my double creature feature.

I hope the neighbors are, too.

Gutted that The Green Knight has been pulled from our cinemas. It’s been getting rave reviews everywhere. I hope it’s region free when it’s released on Blu-ray or 4K in USA. It will probably go the crap route with streaming here.

I read about that getting pulled at the last minute. It's a bummer.

All I need now is to borrow your popcorn machine and maybe your nine subwoofers and a portable reactor to power it all.

I don't think that I have ever heard that expression before; trademark it while you can!

We're still on for Friday night's show but no premium screens. Beggars can't be choosers in this case.

Memories of Murder SDR 4K digital is $7.99 via iTunes and Amores Perros 4K digital with DV is $4.99. That is a bargain for both considering there is no 4K disc of either. They serve as a nice placeholder until we get an actual 4K disc of both of them. FYI

It is meant to look absolutely stunning. Hope you enjoy.

I did not get to watch anything last night.

My sister insisted that I go shopping with her and 2+ hours of wondering through stores exhausted me. It may have been good exercise, but it kicked my butt. I am still tired from it; I just don't have any stamina yet.

Been there, done that. You did well there mate, 2 hours is a big achievement considering your recent issues.

Related to the image, perhaps a indicator to how BF with be in the fall, I see 4k BTTF trilogy has dropped to only $30. Now they need to get 4k Indiana Jones set to take a nose dive on price.

Good to see that you are still with us; why have you been absent for so long in the Oppo 203 thread? Are you burnt out on providing all that free tech support?

We all love a bargain. Sometimes we love them too much. Over in the Smallville threads some people are balking at the price of the complete series set on blu-ray; 10 seasons on blu-ray with an MSRP of $179.99 or $18 per season.

We all know that it will sell for far less come release day and later, but some people only want to pay $5-$10 per season. Is it any wonder why we get so few TV shows released on blu-ray yet alone on 4K disc?

Cheapskates like these will kill physical media long before streaming ever will.

Speaking of the evil of too many bargains, I snuck in a couple more Criterions before the semi-annual sale ended:

and a blind buy; someone well known around here really approves of those.

Just got a new Roku Ultra for the bedroom. My year and a half old stick kept overheating with some 4K content. Usually only HBOMax or Youtube. my mother had the same issue with a few sticks as well. so now i have 2 STB's. I dig it.

I read that as "so now I have 2 STD's at first glance.

Giant bunnies failed to scare me in Night Of The Lepus:

Even this lil bunny in Monty Python And The Holy Grail failed to frighten me:

I have my doubts that lambs or sheep can spook me much, either. I agree that the movie looks trippy weird and that alone is more than enough to make me want to see it.

That is not what you are supposed to bring back from Colombia.
