Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Ok, I tried this again with both players with the same result:

"A New Kind Of SuperHero: The Making of Kick-Ass"

"Play All"

Counter reads up to 000.02 then freezes with blank screen then jumps to 000.26 then freezes with blank screen then jumps to 001.12 then freezes with blank screen then jumps to 002.18 then seems to plays fine. If I try to back it up to get to the beginnng of the featurette the disc freezes up completely until I have to stop the disc and start over again.
If I do not use the play all feature and just go to the "Pushing Boundries" featurette I get the same results as using the play all function. When I jump to "Let's Shoot This F*****!" or any other of the bonus features it plays fine past the "Pushing Boundries" featurette.

Was worried that it was my player but tried to 2 different players with the same results.

I shot off an e-mail to Loinsgate as well to see what they say.

^ taco...i did not have any problems at all with the making-of.

was surprised at the nearly 2hr. runtime. that should be fun. and only about 2min. load time in total on Sony.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

On my PS3, the disc took no time to load. Less than thirty seconds.

On my Insignia, both this title and From Paris With Love took forever. Close to three-to-four minutes for both titles.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Here's hoping I just got a bad disc then. Time to exchange.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Took no time flat on my PS3.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

But they do it also on wall, boxes (like the one Dave first gets his wetsuit) and Kick-Ass' costume. The thing is that there are tons of shots of the same items that aren't all smeary and actually show grain detail. You see a lot of warbling on Kick-Ass' costume in one shot and then grain detail the next. It's really distracting.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I guess third time's the charm. Plays flawlessly.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I really thought this disc wasn't going to load when I put it in the player... it totally gave my Insignia WBRDVD a senior moment. Once it did load after 2-3 minutes, it was fine however. I haven't had such a long load since Fargo.

Great movie though... there's a few things I wish they would have touched on from the graphic novel like...


I think the ending is a bit different because the comic had not been finished when the movie wrapped, correct?

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

You have BD-Live enabled? When it took forever to load for me on my LG, I hit some forums and it seemed like Sony players were acting up.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Not sure what their meaninng is since this was a special feature on the disc and not something to be downloaded:

Please try putting additional memory in your player such as an external USB drive. This title needs requires additional memory to play. Please contact us again if you are still unable to view blu-ray correctly.

Thank you

LionsGate Customer Service

Not that it matters at this time since it looks like I just got a bad disc.

Did this come with a slipcover? I read that it does have one, but I went to a Barnes & Noble today & they had a bunch of copies with NO sleeves.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

It has a slipcover, but it's the same as cover underneath so you're not really missing anything.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Barnes and Noble throws away the slipcovers to all the films when they come in at my store.... Because they're fucks.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

They've told you this or you've seen them? Wow. That sucks.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Rented it, loved it. I'm seeing a 12.99 black friday price on this one... I'll be waiting.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I know Blockbuster used to do that as well.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Was at COSTCO today and saw what is probably the safe cover. They had a circlular sticker over the SS so the cover said KICK A. Too bad the back of the cover and side still said KICK ASS.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I worked at Barnes and Noble in the music/DVD section and I can confirm that we took slipcovers off because they were a security problem. The sensors were put on the sleeves, and then people could just slip the covers off and walk out with them. So, no sleeves.

As a DVD enthusiast it bothered me and I tried to get them to keep the covers behind the counter and give them out when someone bought the DVD, but no one wanted to go through the trouble, and when i tried doing it on my own it took up too much space behing the counter so I relented...

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I have a Sony BDP-S360 and I got Kick-Ass through Netflix.

The thing took forever to show up and then took another few minutes to load. I watched over an hour of the movie and then it just froze up. The whole player was gone and I had to unplug it. Tried again, sat through the load, and it froze up again. I still had 30 minutes or so to watch but I packaged it back up and sent it back.

Anyone else have this player and experienced problems?

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

have the player, put it in when i bought, have yet to watch whole movie, but booted up fine and extras played equally fine as some were having problemas with that. total boot time was maybe 1.5 minutes.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

Hmm. I wonder if there is some setting that is screwed up. Did you ever update the firmware? I have it connected to ethernet and it is running whatever the latest firmware happens to be. Maybe newer firmware is causing it?

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

never updated manually, don't know if it does auto. player was only bought a couple months ago so perhaps updated with newest when first started.

what is the exact time of freeze?

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I didn't check and I've already sent the disc back to Netflix.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

See post #101.

I had a lot of issues but after the 3rd replacement of the disc everything was perfect.

Re: Kick-Ass (Blu + DVD + Digital Copy) --> August 3rd!
 

I read that Lions Gate said some players need to have USB drive plugged in because of the massive amount of memory the disc uses. I guess I should turn off BD Live. Maybe that is the problem.
