Dammit. Didn't want to do it, but Shouts latest cock-up is the last straw.

Ugh. I said I wasn't going to waste my money on Sony's new Blu-rays since they didn't seem much better than the DVDs, but seeing them all in a row on a Wal-Mart rack made me give in. I'm still not replacing my King Kong vs. Godzilla and King Kong Escapes DVDs, though.

I also originally passed on these, but buying them on DVD for a friend got me to also buy them on Blu-ray for myself.

And because I don't have enough fucking monster movies in my collection:

The BFI Collection is definitely the more economical way to go. These two are the only ones I feel an urgent need for though, having recently sold off my original Anchor Bay copies (which went a good way to subsidizing this purchase).

Ended up tossing in a couple more titles to leverage the shipping, and because the prices seemed worthwhile.

Violent Saturday ends up being about $12 less than I was planning to play for the Twilight Time in a couple months. While it's great to have access to better editions and things unavailable domestically, saving a few bucks here and there is also a worthwhile motivator to import.

It sounds like those old Anchor Bay releases might be worth keeping around for the commentaries.

Pre-orderd the BFI Herzog collection and Saturday Night Fever (for $4.99).

All the talk of mummy films over in that topic got me wanting to see Tale of the Mummy again, which I had only previously seen on a shitty non-anamorphic DVD. The Blu-ray should naturally be an improvement. And since I still enjoy the Brendan Fraser movies that everyone seems to hate, I wanted to upgrade my trilogy DVD set to the Blu-rays.

Also, talking to someone about Revenge of the Nerds the other day, I felt it was high time to actually own it, and the new Blu-ray looks pretty good.

One is an upgrade of the DVD that I already have.

The other is a movie I should have owned by now but never have.

After doing a marathon of the six Rocky films and then picking up the Raging Bull Blu-ray, I couldn't very well skip over Grudge Match, aka Rocky vs. Raging Bull. Even if it sucks like so many others have claimed, I sort of need to see it.

Finally got around to buying this. I've seen Casablanca before but the rest are blind buys.

Like them all except for The African Queen which is not a bad film but IMO is very overrated.

Still Mine, a very touching story about an elderly man struggling against the system to finish a house for his dying wife. It looks incredible on Blu-ray:
