I agree. Isn't this what lobbyists are for, so that stuff like this gets nipped in the bud?

Only picked up a couple of Black Friday titles:



Reservoir Dogs is a revelation. I've seen it in the theater and on every format released and I have never seen it look this good.

We saw The Banshees of Inisherin in theaters. Outstanding film. Martin Mcdonagh never disappoints. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson deserve acting nominations as well.

Also caught Smile, The Wonder and A Christmas Story Christmas on streaming. I was a tad disappointed with Smile but still enjoyed it.

I had never heard of The Wonder. It stars Florence Pugh as an English nurse in the late 1800's that travels to Ireland to watch over a girl who supposedly hasn't had food in 4 months. Interesting little film with beautiful cinematography. It's on Netflix.

A Christmas Story Christmas is the best sequel to A Christmas Story made yet (it is the third). It was enjoyable for nostalgia reasons and better than I was expecting. But of course it can't hold a candle to the original.

Reservoir Dogs is $40 in Canada (about US$30). Sigh.

According to comments in the Reservoir Dogs 4K thread, this release is missing a line of dialog:

So even without the passed out line the scene still makes sense...

The bolded part is the line that is reported to be missing.

I didn't notice that line missing when I watched it. I may have to go back and double check.

I have this one in My Collection in HDX, can get it in UHD for $12.99!

Wow, I thought the complete animated TMNT on DVD was well priced at 25 dollars, but now it's at 20. Had to blind buy it for that price. Don't remember being into that show as a kid, but I rather enjoyed the 1990 movie last year, and the game from earlier this year was okay.

That's a great deal! Loved that show as a kid. The 1990 movie is cool, too. Judith Hoag is a babe.

I’d rather have it on physical media for $17.99 than paying $12.99 and get nothing in return.

Not to mention the disc comes with the digital. Also, if one was sharp enough, the digital 4K could have been had for $4.99 a couple of weeks ago via iTunes.

Oklahoma is OK, when I got back from Vietnam I was stationed in Fort Sill, Oklahoma they made me an Instructor Pilot. Sylvester Stallone is an Ex-Mob Boss released from prison, and the only thing they have for him is an opportunity in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Good Series on Paramount+!

Sounds great, pay more for a defective Disc and hope they fix it. I'll take it on Digital, Physical will keep getting more problems with Budget cuts, dropping Sales, and Duplication Facility troubles!

The 4K disc is selling for just $13.00 at the moment and it includes the 4K disc, the blu-ray, and the digital code.

The streaming version probably has the same missing line of dialog as the 4K disc. Both were likely sourced from the same master. The disc is not defective; the source for it is.

I will gladly buy a 4K disc combo pack that gives me three ways to watch the movie, two of which I truly own, over relying upon frequently unreliable internet service and over taxed servers to deliver ephemeral digital diarrhea.

That's the operative phrase here, isn't it?

I bought Earth Girls Are Easy in iTunes when it was only available in HD online. It's the wrong aspect ratio. They are going to fix it never.

Don't pretend some Digital Copies aren't defective. Speaking of budget cuts, streaming isn't profitable and may never be and the server farms are a prime target for environmentalists.

I’m hoping my next 4K disc doesn’t have dancing pixels and really bad edge enhancement.

That is trolling, people here have already expressed their dislike of your troll post here. I believe you have already been banned for such actions.

You have proved you can post about titles that you like or dislike or other topics without cheap shots at disc enthusiast. Why not continue in that vein!!

That's why I generally just ignore his posts now. He knows what he's doing.
