I guess they used temporarily the poster of the previous release, right?
I just hope they could use the original poster now!

Finally a release date.

Awesome news, thank you for posting!

Shocker, the release date is in September...well that bring the September total up to about 100 releases for me!

Remastered "25th Anniversary Edition" cover art from a Hong Kong distributor, not sure if it'll be the same as the US release:

Ugh! I don't understand why they use everything else as background BUT the original background!

captainjoe · 07-13-2014, 05:13 PM

Ah yes my favorite scene from Rain Man. When their car breaks down and they have to hike uphill to the nearest gas station.

Whether or not one's personal taste thinks it's over processed or not is another story. I usually go for the unprocessed look, but the new transfer just looks way too soft. People may say that it may be more "film-like" or "natural looking" now, but wow that movie was just shot too soft.

You couldn't be more incorrect. Fargo remaster has zero DNR on it. It just loses all the ridiculous edge enhancement from the previous release. Grain is clearly visible on the remaster, and looks the way it should (natural). The original release looks processed to the hilt and horrific.

Look at this shot:

The original looks better to you?

It does to me. They all do.

In the second picture, you can't see the plant vines at all.

The original Fargo is one of the (overall) worst Blus I've ever seen - and it's probably the most "electronic/digital" looking Blu I can ever recall seeing unless I am forgetting another title.

More detail is not necessarily accurate detail.

The old Blu-Ray is nearly unwatchable, IMO.

Dammit. Wish I'd known this was coming. Grabbed a copy yesterday in Hmv. Ho hum. Will be another double dip for me.

Weirded Wonder · 08-26-2014, 11:38 PM

So no extras? Damnit

It'd be strange if they didn't at least include the extras from the previous release.

maely · 08-27-2014, 12:28 AM

Do we have a release date on this yet? I've been holding off on this title because I had previously seen this thread... a while ago...
Thx.

Hope there's a comparison soon, want to know whether or not to keep my preorder.
