I read elsewhere that they will replace the disc if they have any stock which is unlikely as most of the titles are out of print. Apparently you can pick another film instead. A like for like replacement.
Did you guys never get plastic cases for your VHS tapes? Were they always cardboard sleeves?
Here in the UK, they were always in plastic cases.
On a slightly different note here in the UK, TV studios back in the 1960s/70s had all their programs stored on magnetic tapes. When they desperately needed more tapes, they grabbed some off the shelf and wiped the contents. Whatever on that tape was then lost for all time!
It must be just me, but I can't see what's so different about this new Shrek?
In a perfect world, I'd like a hybrid version. I think that some jokes in the extended cut fall a bit flat. Ideally, I would like the theatrical cut of the film but with the full dance number of the extended cut.
In a way, I'm quite happy the majority seem to hate it. I picked up the 2 disc Blu-ray edition in a Poundland store for just £2! When I got my PS5, it was one of the first 4K discs I purchased as it was only £5.
Liking the unpopular film has its advantages. 😁
I remember watching Tenet for the first time and giving up because the sound mix is rather odd, and I find it hard to hear what the characters are saying. A year or so later, I stuck on a pair of decent headphones and tried again. Watched it all the way through and absolutely loved it.
I'm also one of the rare people to actually enjoy Ghostbusters (2016)! The trailers had me worried, and I expected the worst to be honest.
There's a guy who sometimes pops up on my Instagram feed who is collecting just copies on VHS. Here's an article from last year : Experience: I own nearly 3,000 VHS tapes of Titanic.
Henry Cavill screen tested for Casino Royale back in 2006 as mentioned in the article, but he is too old now.
And not just because these auditions were found on a VHS tape that was found in a dumpster last month 😁, at the same time, there were tests with Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend and Anthony Starr.
Did anyone try watching Gemini Man in 60fps?
That takes some getting used to. It's hard to describe, it's like watching someone's home video. It doesn't feel cinematic at all.
BIG shout out to Thunder, a great app for both Android and iOS.
It's really nice to use, lots of nice features, I'm really happy with it.
VLC is all you need for DVDs. You just need to download this file, unzip it, and put the DLL file into the same directory where VLC is installed.
This file will enable VLC to access the DVD in such a way to bypass the protection methods.
I'm pretty sure there's an Italian 4K release as well.
