Apparently, people are proclaiming this is the best film of next year and possibly the century!

JoBlo Article.

This reminds me of the old Bioware CGI trailers which were stunning but of course, the finished game could never match them.

I think there are several terms floating around getting mixed up by marketing people. There’s only one kind of 4K Blu-ray. If that’s what you meant?

According to the article, there’s no official title yet.

I’ve realised that over time, a lot of my favourite films or ones that I enjoy and basically mainstream blockbusters.

I try to broaden my horizons but quite often, I find these amazing acclaimed films boring.

It’s not quite the same but I was amazed when I got the Criterion edition of Armageddon. All these bonus features about a great blockbuster film.

So imagine my disappointment when every other release from Criterion is a film I’ll probably never watch in the first place.

Example, I took a chance on Brazil because I was in a bit of a Terry Gilliam phase. I quite enjoyed that one. Then I tried Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That DVD never got a second play.

The only one that I unsubbed to pretty fast was the 8bit guy. I generally enjoyed his videos and then in one of them, he had a fairly rare IBM PC and for some reason, he sticks a screwdriver into the power supply and blows a component.

But what really turned me off was when footage of him turned up on Reddit, taken by himself, of shopping in a place like Costco with his assault rifle on his back. I think he was taking pleasure in scaring some of the customers too.

(I think I’ve remembered that correctly)

Anyway, never went back to his channel after that.

EDIT: I found this Reddit page where someone asked what he did. Didn’t realise that was 5 years ago now!

Yeah I find that I tend to stick to the first version I saw syndrome. It’s the one you grow to love first.

For my image manipulation, I use paint.net. I’ve tried other free open source stuff but can’t get on with them. I’ll gladly give this one a go! Thanks for posting.

Didn’t they update that scene twice? The first Special Edition release and then updated the Jabba CGI a second time for another release. (The Blu-ray’s? I’m not sure)

It’s all a bit moot anyway as everything in the “new” Jabba scene is almost a repeat of what was said in the Greedo encounter a few scenes earlier.

And they forced in Boba Fett which was cool at the time but just seems out of place now.

This rebate looks even better but 4K77 is the best choice for now.

Yes, the original originals from 77, 80 and 83.

Didn’t Blu-ray win because it was basically neck and neck with the amount of studios backing HD-DVD vs Blu-ray. I think everyone was waiting to see what the final studio would pick (off the top of my head it was either Fox or Warner Bros).

Sony paid said studio basically a massive multi $m bribe to pick Blu-ray (to help promote their new console, the Playstation 3) which they duly did and that format was declared the winner.

HD-DVD would’ve been great as the winner as the specifications don’t include any form of region protection. But blurays hold more data and therefore allows for better quality encodes.

I love this game so much that I’ve only completed it three times! 😁

So if this film turns out really good and he ignores most of the sequels, will we see Cameron telling us that Terminator 7 should be considered the real Terminator 3? 😁

It can’t be worse than Genisys. 😂

Yeah, I have a horrible feeling that I’ll see the first trailer and it will be very disappointing.

As I imported mine to the UK, I was worried if they would even honour the replacement discs. Thankfully they did.

When they released Back to the Future for the first time on DVD, they got the framing wrong on parts 2 & 3 but only for certain shots.

The most memorable was when Marty had the future jacket on. It beeps with a flashing button at the base of the coat which he presses.

For whatever reason, the shot was framed too high and you can’t see the button or him pressing it. Ruins the whole point of the scene.

Here’s a TLDR.

I loved my many Xbox360s! Either the build quality was poor or I was just very unlucky.

I went through at least five machines I think. It started on day one where I got home and started playing Just Cause 2 but the machine kept locking up after 20 minutes of playing.

Two machines suffered from the red ring of death and another had the DVD drive go bad.

However, I have great memories of playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, especially when I got my 5.1 surround sound system.

Was that the game that also had the Vietnam DLC? Love that too.
