Don't you need a certain TV to watch the 3-D version that Paramount is working on for next year? I won't be upgrading my television for QUITE a while so I wouldn't be able to take advantage of it anyway. As crappy as the red/blue version was, at least I was SOMETHING. I've spent way too much money on this franchise and I'm not spending anymore until Paramount gets their act together. |

They didn't have the F13 3-D DVD, so I tried to have them transfer it from another library. But they told me it was too new and to try back in 7 or 8 months. :jawdrop: It's a decent system for fairly mainstream films, but hard to get movies are just that... hard to get. I tried to get the Phantasm II VHS (I've STILL never seen it), but only a handful of libraries had it listed and none of the would give it up. :( |
Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
Got these today on Blu:
Part III is 3D (red/blue). Will give it a spin tonight/tomorrow and post impressions. I have my UK BD so I will compare some scenes and see if any look better. Kinda surprised they stuffed 3D on a BD50 though (along with the normal encode). Wonder if the US encode was dumbed down a bit to fit the 3D version on. I also have my Part III DVD so I will compare the 3D between the DVD and BD. Busy night for me. |
Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
Nusy indeed!
Keep us posted.

Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
Wonderful news, indeed!

Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
Still not sure if I want to get these or not. I spent $60 on the dvd boxet when it first came out. I'm not sure I'm willing to upgrade just yet. At least not at $20 a pop.

Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
Looking forward to getting these soon. I think I'll collect them up til Jason Lives. The series sorta went downhill after that in my opinion.

Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
Sorta? :lol:

Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
So how's the quality of the two flicks? Do they look better than the UK counterparts?

From what I can tell Identical. I viewed a few problem scenes from Part III on both the UK and US BD as they each had the same issue (water spots, scratches).

I can't believe I'm about to triple-dip on films that aren't even particularly good. Oh well. If you're going to have a guilty pleasure, you might as well enjoy it in HD.

Re: Friday the 13th Part II and III ----> 6/16/09
FYI -
7 and 8 have been announced for DVD on September 15th. You would think 4, 5 and 6 would come out this day as well on Blu-ray, right (judging by the previous waves)? Wrong. No more F13s are listed for Blu-ray by Paramount this year. Not sure if that's an error or they are waiting to see sales numbers of 2 or 3. |
