The second half of my latest update, this time showing you our new Blu-rays! Oh, and there's one DVD too. The only reason it was saved 'til last was because it was Annetta's, and I usually split our respective purchase up into their own sections when I do these updates.

Want to see those Blade Runner DVD vs Blu-ray screenshots for yourself? The site's all in Spanish, but you can see the screens easy enough. Make sure you click the "zoom" buttons for each one! Take a look:

Hey sean I just rented the Directors Cut Blu-ray of Dark City from netflix and when I tried to watch it it was filled with background static (and as such is forcing me to watch the DVD version, which I don't mind too much) I get the feeling that its due to the fact that my 5.1 system was trying to decode a 7.1 audio track. Did you happen to have any of these problems with your blu-ray, and if you did (or didn't) do you know what to do to fix them?

[Zaranyzerak]

@JPM2875 That shouldn't make a difference, lots of titles have 7.1 tracks and your system should just downmix it to 5.1 without any fuss. Dark City DOES have a horrible transfer full of post-transfer digital fiddling (slathered with DNR, for example), but other than that I didn't notice any issues with the performance of the disc itself. Maybe you just got a faulty disc?

american psycho was fucking stupid.. waste of damn film :P

[Zaranyzerak]

@Robertahausen I thought it was a brilliant social commentary/satire about middle class America.

I don't know how a Blu-ray that good ends up in a bargain bin. Must be a pretty bare bones presentation?

[Zaranyzerak]

@chimpiki Some are, some aren't. Blu-ray has been around long enough that we're starting to see a lot of decent titles in the bargain bins now. You see a mix of barebones and nicely loaded titles.

[Zaranyzerak]

@insomnia100 And you have a very ugly soul if leaving comments like that is how you enjoy yourself. I pity you.

Zaranyzerak

what is your favourite version of Blade Runner ?

[Warren111able]

,so disc 2 & 4 are dvd's which are the same as in your brief case edition?{because you can still get standard def. on blu ray}

[JPM2875]

@Zaranyzerak maybe, but I've never had that problem with any other blu-ray, so that could easily be the problem. but I've also done some research and I wasn't the only one with the issue. Either way I'm still gonna rent the DVD so I can enjoy the film :)

[TheTubbyOnline]

@Robertahausen i thought it was one of the best book adaptation of all time

[2012PIOTR]

Nice!

[Robertahausen]

@blackbel4T what is amusing is that my initial comment was simply my opinion, remember you were the first to respond, whether or not it was a joke you did not state it as such. I do not have insecurities and as long as there are comments allowed to be made I will do so, I need not bow down and accept anything from someone such as yourself

[blackbel4T]

@Robertahausen Your behavior seems pretty enigmatic to me. I thought my Paul Blart joke was rather amusing and your retort only makes it that much funnier. Learn to take joke and laugh with it rather than trying to alleviate your insecurities by attempting to insult someone via the Internet. :)

[Robertahausen]

@blackbel4T Actually no, .. Seven, Blade Runner, Fight club, Kite runner, Empire of the sun to name a few that focus on enigmatic human behaviour. The film was poorly written and acted, so therefore a waste of film, and therefore fucking stupid. You;re so damn immature to suggest that a ridiculous blob in a movie would be my favourite, the only reason why people know about movies like that apart from television is from immature people as yourself. You're a loser

[Robertahausen]

@blackbel4T umm.. actually no.., Seven, Fight club, Blade runner, Empire of the sun, Kite runner,.. just to name a few that focus on the enigmatic behaviour of humanity.

Your level of immaturity is not suprising, nor unexpected. The movie was fucking stupid, there was no reason it had to be written as it had been to get the point accross, it was very, very poorly written
