Accidentally order from an Amazon third party ?

[Warm Gun]

No, PlayAsia. I'm not worried, but going from Hong Kong to Los Angeles to Hong Kong is a weird way for them to track it.

Only have one title via Mill Creek and was just checking out King Solomon's Mines (here). Is on YouTube, for now.

That's my concern as well. But maybe Mill Creek will up their game. There is a treasure trove of unreleased movies under the Disney umbrella.

A good Movie on Hulu is this one with Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck. Don't mess with this couple!

As much as I adore Ana and like Ben, ... I couldn't finish that one. I don't even remember what it was about and that's strange because I was excited to see it.

And, I tried to watch Blonde on Netflix and couldn't finish that one either. Actually didn't get far with that one at all. Just seemed terrible.

Maybe I'll try again for the second one.

I love Ana de Armas in these great movies....



I couldn't pick a favorite .... all 3 are amazing and even better on disc with the lossless audio and reference quality video.

Any Movie with Ana de Armas is worth watching, she is so Alluring!

Watched Knives Out sometime back but do not remember much about it, maybe I need to re-evaluate for purchase.

PS: Do have UHD BD of Blade Runner 2049

This will likely mean more Disney TV shows get released on disc. That's great news to me.

I hope you don't mind SD DVD, especially for TV Shows. Maybe BD, but it cost 6.5 x DVD to make 4K Discs!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Clone Wars Blu-ray box set. Clone Wars Season 7 was fantastic and I was just so upset that they never put it out even on DVD.

Good news and bad news at the same time.

Glad this deal is happening, but Mill Creek ?

Hope Disney provides decent masters.

I don't mind DVD. All physical media is superior to streaming because it can never be modified or taken away.

Here is a rundown on this new deal. Jeff from Films At Home lays it out real nice. Like I said, DVD maybe BD, but 4K Discs are too expensive!

Pre-ordered this today from DiabolikDVD:








I already own the Turbine 4K set but since SS will be doing their own restoration with David M. and Fidelity in Motion, I am excited to see that one, as well. I'm skipping the domestic U.S. release even though I read that they have the exclusive rights to the Friedkin/Hooper interview.

"Don't expect anything new that hasn't been released before".
Well, that's disappointing. Much ado about nothing.

Looks fantastic mate. 👍

[Wendell R. Breland]

From the Digital Bits (here) in regards to Mill Creek:

First, this deal does NOT include 4K Ultra HD titles.

This deal also does not include new content, new transfers, or new remasters.

Titles that were previously released on DVD will be re-issued on DVD, and titles previously issued on Blu-ray will be re-released on Blu-ray—there will be no format upgrades.

The total number of titles to expect is in the 100-200 range.

Better to have facts than BS post about manufacturing cost of disc. If there is truly a valid reason about disc cost here then I will ask Stacey Spears what one could expect.

I can live with DVD if we can get some of the TV series like Mandalorian, Clone Wars Season 7, The Bad Batch. It's a travesty some of this stuff is streaming-only.

The deal does not include Star Wars content. They stay on Disney+ so Disney can collect monthly fees - Evergreen deal.
