Nope, they took extras from all three discs. One By One We Will Take You: The Untold Saga of The Evil Dead was from disc one, The Evil Dead: Treasures from the Cutting Room Floor was from disc two and the rest was from disc three, with some of the features from disc three not being brought over.

how much did you pay? $17 seems a bit much. I predict it'll hit the $10-15 range in a few months.

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Is anyone having problems playing this? I got it yesterday, and it starts up OK and plays all the trailers, but that's it. I had it sitting for an hour and it never got to the menu. I have not yet checked if there's a firmware upgrade, that will obviously be my next step, but this doesn't seem like the kind of movie that would need an upgrade. So, has anyone else had issues with it?

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
This is now 12.99 at Fry's but sold out online. I have mine waiting for pickup.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I might have to pick this up soon. Oddly enough I only own 1 version of Evil Dead :)

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Listening to the new commentary now. Not impressed so far. Bruce is asking questions like he's an interviewer and it's mostly about pre-production and production. If you've read the books and listened to the old commentaries there's not much of new information (if any).
Haven't finished watching it yet, but so far I really like the more upbeat group commentaries from Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. EDIT: I'm impressed with video quality. To my surprise it looks like the contrast difference between the "post stamp" moon and the footage of the house has been cleaned up. I'm gonna miss it... |
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
It's been tweaked a little more, too. Remember that jump cut near the end when Scotty realises he's not dead and jumps up? It's been smoothed over with some digital trickery.
It still looks odd, though. I might add-- some of the melting effects seem to be tweaked too. Kinda blurred or, like, cross-faded with added flicker to cover the rough spots. Funny the things you notice when you've seen a picture a gajillion times. |
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Picked this up at Fry's today for $12.99 ... they had a SURPRISING amount of copies (10+). Also finally picked Let The Right One In (w/ theatrical subs, thank god) for $15.49, which is the cheapest I've ever seen.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
This is one damn fine looking Blu-ray release. I had a blast watching it again, it was like watching it for the first time.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I had forgotten that the Book of the Dead edition and the Japanese import DVD is in encoded in DTS-ES 6.1 (matrixed) sound, the bluray from what I can tell - isn't... right?

I picked up Evil Dead for $12.99 at Fry's too. I was originally going to hold off until reviews of the Sony UK BD came out and I could make a decision between the two, but based upon the PQ reviews and the low price, I made the decision to purchase now. |

I'm not really against tweaking the movies, but things like that had certain charm to them. The Book of the Dead edition of Evil Dead 2 cleaned a few things up too and I kinda miss them every time I watch it. |
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Too bad AB didn't use the same cover art as the upcoming UK Blu-ray, which adds a Picture-in-Picture track but apparently drops the 1:33 version.

The UK release is from Sony and the US release is from Anchor Bay so it's obviously not a case of one of them trying to screw anyone. It happens all the time. |
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Actually, I read "and so it begins" referring to "and so it begins that we start collecting multiple versions of Evil Dead on Blu-Ray".

US/Canada Releases Only for me.. though the UK coverart looks good |
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
UK BD Art is awesome.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
The font kinda reminds me of the original Dawn of the Dead.
|
Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
I liked that art when I saw it online, but when I had the US art in my hands I preferred it. Like the neon green quite a bit.

I think I know what AnonymousBob15 means. He's from Auburn, an SEC school, I'm from LSU another SEC school. On our respective Sports message boards, our fans bitch. And they bitch about anything & everything you can possibly bitch about. They make Fran Drescher's Nanny character's whining look amatuerish. My guess is "And so it begins" is marking a spot where people will bitch about the artwork & why studios don't "Simply use the original film poster", which leads to "Floating Big Heads" topics, along with "My 5 year could have made that cover" comments. My guess is Bob & I would both agree that Nick Saban is approximately the same height as an Oompah Loopah, despite Bama attempting to make him appear taller, using Tom Cruise's photographer. |

Not that I'm looking, but I think I see.....a nipple on the UK cover

Re: Evil Dead - August 31, 2010
Does anyone own the Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player and had problems with The Evil Dead BD? It won't load for me. The menu says Can't Play.
I have the latest firmware for it. Thank you. |
