Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow/Drunken Master

The PQ and AQ is wonderful for SitES. The subtitles are great too.

The AQ for Drunken Master is disappointing having the dubbed English come on for the missing Cantonese dialogue.

Tonight Im watching the television broadcast version of John Carpenter's The Thing for blu ray. Interesting how some of the scenes are edited for that version

Friday the 13th (1980, UR) from the DE, of course... glorious transfer and the 5.1 was booming. Just FYI: but defaults to 2.0. Looked great and that Manfredini score is amazing. Great movie towards the end. Palmer killed it. Literally and figuratively. Like watching first time. Can’t wait to dig into extras.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Not as good as the Christmas one but the cold open is one of their absolute best.

The Last Starfighter...what a fun movie. I was so in the mood for this and it didn’t disappoint. The transfer was stellar and the 5.1 was boisterous. Very clear voices and great sound effects. Bluray.com made a big deal of the inclusion of the 4.1 track. Why would that be a big deal when it had the original mono and 5.1? One less speaker doesn’t seem like it should be a big deal, but to me the 5.1 sounded best. Really impressed by transfer. Catherine Mary Stewart still looks good, but weird that her interview, while recent was in b/w. That was odd. The 30+ minute doc was rough and def not HD, but interesting and they seemed to think that the CGI was groundbreaking for the time. I dunno. Was it? I mean it looked like archaic Apple IIe graphics, perhaps better, but I’m sure not revolutionary like the makers made out to be, but nice vintage making of nonetheless.

This is just a fun movie, saw it in theaters and enjoyed just as much now. Even got chills when everyone came to see Alex break the record. Really good presentation all around.

I never see new releases immediately, but just felt like a fun romp and this certainly was.

Highly recommended for fans of fun, 80’s nostalgic, space adventures. Arrow did this up right.

I found this to be a fascinating watch, and I loved the sense of nostalgia in that it just felt like you were back as a kid watching a censored, full-screen television version on like your old 20" TV (even, though, of course I still watched it on the big-screen). And the graininess and what not really sets a tone. If you're like me and you've watched the movie probably upwards of 50-60 times, then checking this version out from time to time can be refreshing. Kind of wish more Blu-Rays had this as an extra, as I can't imagine it takes up that much space on the disc...I wanna say the Scream Factory Halloween or Halloween II discs had the TV versions but I could be wrong...
