Only thing I can think of is they mislabeled which caps were the DVD and blu

It's no joke, I own it and it's the worst ****ing Blu Ray I've ever laid eyes on. A really shit quality upscale, the UK DVDs were better. Even for $7 I felt ripped off

Bought this ****ing disk and haven't bothered watching it due to the poor quality image.

lilboyblu · 01-27-2017, 05:05 PM

Has anybody in here upgraded their Happy Birthday to Me Blu-ray to the UK Indicator disc? I own the corrected Shock/Cinema Cult disc already, so I'm really just wondering if there are there any major differences in picture quality between the two.

If anybody can chime in, or point me to a screenshot comparison between them, I'd appreciate it. If there's only a marginal or negligible difference, I'll probably just keep the disc I already have.

Thanks!

so what happened to the planned release of braindead to blu ray a few moons ago? Was it just cancelled for licencing issues and never heard from again?

It was a rights issue. Peter Jackson currently has the rights to Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, and this. He's promising a special edition of all three, but nothing else has sprouted from this announcement.

Also, 666 posts.

Are these discs usually pretty light, as far as extras go? I just picked up my first, Flesh for Frankenstein - the only place, as near as I can tell to have it on Blu - and there's not much on there. Not even a trailer.

I heard around the traps that the CC DVD was possibly trimmed anyway, so even if CC released a blu of it, it's more than likely going to be a crummy upscale of a possibly trimmed DVD. Bleeeech.

Go Ahead. To hell with it all. Spend your children's inheritance. Order the Code Red blu with confidence.

I did...

Mill Creek level of 'light' on the regular.

That Flesh for Frankenstein is a 1080i upscale, but at least it ain't censored like the Japanese blu. See a few posts back.

Best option of that particular release around atm unfortunately.

El_Fez · 01-20-2017, 02:13 PM

Eh, no big deal - I was just taken aback for a moment. I only paid 15 bucks for it, so no big loss or anything, more just wondering.

In for both of these providing the pq on Criss Cross is okay. The Day of the Jackal should be a huge improvement by default and i wouldn't mind having even an average version until a suitable upgrade comes along, if and when that would be.

Word is the Cinema Cult release of De Palma's "The Fury" features the same transfer Arrow and Carlotta utilized.

Does it look as nice? Any problems with the encode, etc.? Looks like my only A-compatible option featuring the new restoration...

I have both releases, and would recommend the Arrow over the CC, but I guess if you don't have a region free option then the CC it is. It's definitely 'watchable' (unlike some CC releases), and actually has some bonus content lifted from the Arrow release included.

The 4 Bonus Features on the CC lifted from the Arrow are -

Blood on the Lens: An interview with cinematographer Richard H. Kline
Spinning Tales: Fiona Lewis on starring in The Fury
The Fury: A Location Journal
Theatrical Trailer

Recommend grabbing from JB Hi-Fi now as a part of their 3 for $20 sale. Currently listed for AUS $9.98.

Link here.

I appreciate the feedback (and link). In terms of picture quality, what sets the Arrow apart from the CC? It'd be a pity if Shock took the apparently beautiful new master and cramped its style with compression or a botched encode.

Cinema Cult specs

I threw both discs in earlier today, and do feel the Arrow image looks slightly superior, but not by to much, and the CC is still very watchable. Unfortunately, there are no Subs/ Closed Captions on the CC release should that be an issue. But for just short of AUS $10, it's a pretty cheap grab.

Confirmed it def is Region A compatible & extras played too.
