Freeway is an interesting one. I may bite.

Just sagged a TV series that I was a always a fan of. "Two Guys, A Girl, and Pizza Place" from the late 90's starring Ryan Reynolds before he became a star.

It's always been $30+ for years since its release but today it's down to $20, so have to snag it now. It's only SD, but it's the only way to catch it all in one package. It's from Shout Factory and it's on 11 discs:

MVD pulled me in with their tractor beam -- they have some great B-movies and such at ridiculous prices:

Basic Instinct 2 (Unrated cut and TC) BD
Delirious (Tom DiCillo's Director's Cut) BD
Nemesis BD
Nemesis 2,3,4 SD (the BD was sold out)
Lionheart BD
Double Impact BD
Windtalkers (director's cut and TC) BD

agree, stay safe yourself

this is like golf you should try and get the smallest number possible. You need to take better care of yourself.

Sorry to hear and wish you both the best.

In some people we can clearly see that there is a lot more happening under the skin then just: you get sick and then get better. That is what disturbs me the most about it

there was a time when we could have stopped it, unfortunately IMHO that time is long gone.

It is everywhere (can't say isolate one place where it exists), our bodies are very bad at building immunity against it (e.g. why Steed has caught it 3 times in under 3 years) and it easily jumps species (so even if we manage to eradicate it in humans it will just jump back after a bit from all the animals we have contaminated)


I think we need to learn to live with it. But in an intelligent way where we don't restrict ourselves much but still keep each others safer.

Fully vaxed and I have not gotten it either (as far as I know) but all the extended family and many friends have caught it and some more than once.

But I still avoid big crowds and I always wear a mask when in public areas.

I received an email from a new company making 4K disc players called Magnetar.







I don't know anything about them as this is the first time that I have heard of them, but another company making 4K disc players is welcome news. It uses the Media Tek MT8581 chipset. It supports SACD, too.

Caught it at work mate, surrounded by folk with low immune systems.

Flicker Alley is running a 25% off sale and I went with one of their 4K disc sets:

I'm a big fan of the Cinerama series of BD releases and own almost all of them on BD. I had totaly forgotten they had released a 4K disc of the above.

A couple of stragglers showed up today:

It may just be another Sony-like player like Reavon. What’s the MSRP?

€1,599.00

[sapiendut]

Nevermind, I went to their site. Looks like another Reavon-type scam. It uses the cheapest DAC available and overly heavy chassis (for no real reason). No unique/ special feature set over any other brands. Not even unique OSD (they use Mediatek default menu system and looks)

8K TV sets to be banned in Europe from March next year because their energy demands are too high.

Could have huge impact on 8K industry as 30% of high end tv sales come from the EU.

I do feel like Disney plus has killed their disc market.

this year I got:
coco 4k with dmr
the little mermaid 4k with dmr
spies in disguise 4k with dmr
beauty and the beast 4k - $6
beauty and the beast 4k live action-$6
free guy 4k- $6
cruella 4k-$6
mulan 4k -$4
black widow 4k- $6
aladdin 4k-$4
solo 4k-$7
encanto 4k exclusive- $10
jungle cruise 4k exclusive-$10
the kings man 4k exclusive -$10
thor love and thunder 4k-$2
doctor strange multiverse of madness -$2
lightyear 4k-$2
raya 4k- $12
turning red 4k exclusive- $10


The price I'm willing and expect to pay has probably decreased 33 to 50% since Disney plus became a thing and reselling Disney movies isn't really worth the trouble anymore.

[bhampton]

I know what you mean.

We have D+ so I don't go looking for Disney discs as much as I should.

[unberechenbar]

bought these this week:


Getting closer to 200. I might make it before the end of the year.

I apologize if my intent on humor ended up coming off as judgmental.

I know this thing is everywhere and even if people try their best and do everything right it is still no guarantee.

Nah, not at all Anthony. Absolutely no worries.

For those that stream -- The "Wednesday" series on Netflix is fantastic. It's in 4K DV / Atmos. If they were to somehow release it on 4K disc I would totally buy it.

I've been binging Discovery of Witches on BD since I was sent the new boxed set of the trilogy (three seasons). It's pretty good. Matthew Goode is in it and he's good in it. *snare*

I had Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's house and he and my sister in-law both said they really enjoyed the first episode so I've added it to my queue
