Finally picked this up. I’d enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express and I’d been looking forward to watching the sequel. I’m glad to hear they’re working on a third film. It’s nice to sit with a movie that isn’t a bombastic CGI fest. Also, I loved the remix they used for the trailer |

| Apparently, Criterion has acquired the licensing for Disney movies. Their first release will be ‘Wall-E’. I’m far more interested to see what they release in the future. |

That’s awesome! I kind of feel like Disney was a little more committed to their physical media releases at the start of the DVD era and early into blu ray. Maybe not as critically as a Criterion release but some releases did seem more geared towards serious collectors with less focus on bright colorful characters and packed with bonus material than their current releases which are more targeted towards children and often lack even bonus features from previous releases     |

| Given how Disney/Marvel is so resistant to physical releases of its streaming shows, going back to the Netflix shows, I really appreciate that Paramount continues to release their Star Trek shows on blu ray. Some new listings have gone up for pre-order that I’ve jumped on     On top of that, I also ordered the Star Trek Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan Director’s Cut blu rays   |

| My wife and I are big fans of physical media (we need to get to Ikea for a couple book cases to organize and store DVDs and related media, but with supply chain issues combined with our schedules we mostly have a large mess). We bought this back when it came out, just for the packaging. Obviously never opened, but with the news of scenes being re-edited, it's more than just a cute collectible now.  Here's some good stuff, though. This is my original VHS copy of Star Wars; I nagged my mom to take me to see it 11 times before 1980. Not bad, considering I was not quite three when it released in '77. It's flanked by the most recent versions of 4K77 and 4K83, which are extremely worthwhile if you want the closest possible experience to the originals.  Speaking of bootlegs, these are my wife's circa 2000-2001 DVD copies of the original 1989-1990 laserdiscs.  We have some other copies on VHS as well.  And a shelf of discs, too.  |

This arrived on Friday. Honestly, I had forgotten I had pre-ordered it. Especially since I already had the two-part blu-ray release. But like the ‘Dark Knight Returns’ adaptation, I much prefer it all in a single volume.  |

| Upgraded my Man Cave set-up from a 40” 1080p TV, to a 50” 4k TV with 120hz for gaming. I have had a XBox series X for a year or more & probably have an hour on it tops. Maybe now that I can hook it up in here, I’ll actually get to play it.  I still have to upgrade my surround sound to really enjoy the new set-up to the full, but even going from 40” to 50” is going to make movies more immersive.  |

| @Bronte Thats awesome. I have a few props, but nothing like that. A Graboid Bobehead & action figure from the unaired pilot to the “Tremors” TV reboot with Kevin Bacon. A T-shirt from Chang’s gift shop from the “Tremors” (2003) TV show. (I love the Tremors franchise, at least the first two movies). A Batman bar stool from the set of the “Big Bang Theory”. Unused “Joan Wilder” book jackets from ‘Romancing the Stone’ (1984). |

My wife & I are both home sick with different ailments. Instead of a belated anniversary trip, we essentially have to isolate from one another. To lift my spirits a little, I made couple picks-ups in a recent Amazon sale. I’ve wanted Blade Runner 2049 for a while but wanted a deal. And now with the 4k option in my Man Cave, there’s no way I was passing it up for $10. The Scooby-Doo collection has been on my radar & getting the deluxe release for 1/3 the original retail price made it a no-brainer. And upgrading ’Psycho’ 2-4 to blu-ray has been something I’ve wanted to do, but it was a very low priority. ‘Psycho II’ is a pretty good movie if you haven’t seen it. Part 3 is a bit too trashy. But part 4 (an origin story, that was originally a TV movie) is better than most make it out to be. |

| Hey guys, I upgraded to the 4k version of the same release. Anyone interested in this blu-ray? It’s the two disc limited edition steelbook of the original RoboCop from Arrow video. I’d do a swap if anybody has something they have doubles of. Just throwing it out there.    |

| I’ve pumped the brakes a bit on comics to concentrate on upgrading my Man cave. It’s a particularly small space & I spent a couple weeks researching the right audio set-up for my new T.V. I wanted the Sony HT-A7000 sound bar, but unfortunately even the HT-A5000 was way too large for my space. Ended up ordering the HT-A3000 and SA-SW3 subwoofer. Simply because they’ll fit. What’s cool is, the TV has an S-audio option that will also turn the TV’s built-in speakers into the center channel. I’ll see how they sound and decide if I really need the rear speakers. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim A quick review of this set-up if anyone is interested: I was initially not impressed. But I realized I wasn’t watching Atmos or DTS X supported content. Just cable & Netflix in standard 5.1. Once I turned up the volume a bit higher than I typically did, the surround effect kicked in and it sounded richer. But it was when I put in a 4K Atmos supported movie, that it sounded great. As most reviews suggested, I turned up the subwoofer a little over what the digital optimizer suggested and it made a big difference. I will be adding rear speakers eventually. And if you’re considering a Sony sound bar, I would certainly go with the bigger model for the up-firing speakers if possible (the HT- A5000, or better yet, HT-A7000). But for its size, the 3000 isn’t a bad choice. |
