I'll take what I can get at this point since I missed Godzilla in theaters.

There's a UK 4K Blu-ray listed on this site, but I don't know where it's available to buy.

I want to watch Godzilla Minus One but not enough to watch it on NF.

(even though I have NF)

It's in 4K/DV / Atmos on NF.

It doesn't exist.

I am not the biggest Godzilla fan, but this movie looks interesting to me. I just watched the trailer over at Vudu.

Vudu offers two variations: the full color version in 4K for $14.99 or the black and white version, Godzilla Minus One Minus Color, in HDX for the same price.

I still have access to Netflux, so maybe I will try it out first over there? Maybe a disc version will yet come to be, but I feel time is of the essence.

This post doesn't make any sense to me.

I think that he considers watching movies on "NF" to be slumming it.

If streaming is that abhorrent why even have it? Even if it's for his family he shouldn't want to subject them to that quality either.

It's probably just that shark, er, I mean sharp sense of humor of his; he'll probably make an exception for Godzilla's sake.

I bet it looks OK even on my low tier NF plan I just am interested in the movie and want to buy it. I would rather watch and especially hear it with higher quality.

That said I bought a DVD yesterday and quite enjoyed it.



Certainly the best Sharks on a Plane movie I have seen so far.

It doesn't really take up much space. its actually rather expensive to have a full shelf stacked for sales. The turn over probably just isn't fast enough for the cost of stocking and maintaining the shelf. Its not like the best buys are stuffed and needed that 3 foot by 6 foot space from what i have seen physical media got replaced by bare carpet and larger aisles.

I had time so watched Godzilla Minus One on my NF.

No doubt my favorite Godzilla movie. Highly recommended. !

I guess this is available but so far it's not english friendly. I think that's fine. I know the story now I don't need the words.

I don't get your comment. Haven't you never paid for something for others that you are not interested in just because it would have made them happy to have it?

Thank you for your input. In case you didn't see the razz emoji in my post, here it is again.

You should really categorize your movie collection so that your fellow forum members can browse it more easily. I should do a better job myself, but I have a list of excuses a mile long for why I haven't.

I am betting that you probably own the largest "Shark!" movie category of anyone here at blu-ray.com or maybe even the world itself! I'd really love to see your entire list.

Haven’t posted much this last few days in here, I’m getting harassed by that sock account again. Using my user name and then adding an abusive context to the end, they are now using the thanks button as a tool to harass me across multiple threads, thanking my posts with the abusive sock name.
The mods delete the accounts, but they just keep popping up.

What would you guys do?

I noticed the stalker on the Melusine sight. Sorry that you have to deal with such nonsense. Other than getting the mods to delete the accounts and posts I'm not sure what other options there are. You've been handling it about as well as you can from what I've seen. Just remember there are plenty on members here that enjoy your posts and try not to let it get you down.

To quote a classic movie "B!tches, man". That's all whoever doing it is. Just ignore it, they're not worth the energy.

It’s not so much the fact they are hassling me, it’s the text they are using, last month I was a derogatory term for a homosexual, this month I am a homophobe, they seem a little muddled as to what they want to label me, but it’s damaging because I noticed some members have checked this member’s page out. A couple of months ago, he declared his hate for English and started ranting about freedom for Ireland. I think he may be mentally Ill, which is always a worry.

It's stocking the shelves but it's also low profit margin and a niche product. Best Buy caters to a mainstream crowd and those people are streaming. For most people in the world, discs are seen as a dead or dying format. There was really no reason for Best Buy to continue to carry them. You have shelves of physical media hoping that some guy comes in, buys one movie and you make $5 in profit?

Meanwhile, you could put an appliance or really anything in its place and potentially makes $100s in profit.

I'm a die hard physical media collector but I understand their logic. Physical media is best suited for online where it can sit in a warehouse or collector's/physical media shops which I actually think we are going to see more of going forward.
