I think it's great. It's one of my favorites this year.

The movie, not the Steelbook.

WTF? Why does everyone have to go for that "Mondo" look? The vast majority of the time, this included, it ends up looking like shit.

Yeah, it looks like fan art.

You've got Charlize (i.e. close to perfection). Use a photo.

If it didn't have her name on top, I wouldn't have guessed it was her from that artwork. It looks more like Angelina Jolie wearing a wig. The only one I could pick out was John Goodman.

Re: Official New & Upcoming Exclusive Steelbook Discussion Thread

Well on this very heavy 4k steelbook day...I finally decided to get Close Encounters Steelbook at BestBuy (and sell off my 30th Anniversary blu-ray set), get the vanilla Wonder Woman 4k at Target discounted with my last perk, and skip Starship Troopers all together. I'm even selling off my two disc dvd. The deal was, that my memories with Close Encounters were much greater and more enjoyable.

My memories with Starship Troopers were mostly by myself laughing at the bugs, waiting for the sex scene and then dozing off for the rest of the movie. Sure, it was enough for me to get the two disc dvd back in the day, but I guess I matured on that one, lol.

I got Wonder Woman. It doesn't look quite as bad IRL as it did in the picture.
Best Buy maybe finally caught wise and shipped it properly in a box with good padding.

ST:TOM sold out while I was checking out on BB.com. AHH! I hope it comes back in stock. Saved me $30 I guess.

So, did anyone actually see Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars Steelbook in store today??? Strangely enough, not even one copy up on Ebay tonight.

Yeah, I think there was some issues with that release. If I hadn't ditched out on Starship Troopers at the last moment, I would have probably been trying to get that one as well...but I'm kinda glad I stuck to Close Encounters and that's it.

On a related note, I am upset this morning over a steelbook. Now you can count me foolish or what not, but I did buy an used steelbook over Ebay. It was for the movie, True Grit, the remake. Its the Best Buy exclusive (I think HMV might have done it as well). Welp, and the listing is relatively harmless, says it is in very good condition, etc. There were actual pictures too which I swear were in some amazing lighting and showed maybe one tiny little flaw. And I'm not the kinda guy to get upset over a couple of scratches or maybe even one very small dent. Heck with a movie like True Grit, it might actually add some character. Reputable seller too, only one negative in the last year. (99.6%)

Well, I got it last night, and I'm surprised honestly that it is still together. There are probably 4 or 5 dents on this thing. Plenty of scratches, and hanging on barely. The discs are fine...but if I wanted True Grit just on disc, I could have paid $5 and been done. It's frustrating to look at. Needless to say I'm going to open a dialog with the seller today (and then go through paypal if necessary). It's a shame, when I do ebay auctions or when I did the now defunct half.com, I would go out of my way to describe things accurately. It's hard to find people out there who do the same. Just venting. I've been looking for a good copy of that steelbook for a few years now and finally thought I had it. *sigh*

Edit: The Seller said I could return it but nope sorry my bad or any sort of emotion like he gave a flying flip. After consideration, I'm returning it...sad about doing so...but I can't accept this kinda crap. Back to the drawing board.

$40 for a catalog release, not even in 4K?

It was remastered in 4k by Arrow Video. I have their limited edition and it's very good, I think the price was down to $27.99 by release day.

Re: Official New & Upcoming Exclusive Steelbook Discussion Thread

Please pray tell me what this pile of Project Poop Art Shit is this?



Release date, December 5th, 2017. The steelbook is a BestBuy exclusive.

I love the Men in Black Trilogy, I could be talked into 4k...but that...I have no freaking idea. I have the steelbook for the third movie, maybe I can find separate steelbooks for the first two...that sounds like a more worthwhile venture.

Edit: - Why couldn't they have just taken the image from the UK Trilogy Blu-Ray Steelbook? I would have pre-ordered that in a second.

Spoiler:

I'll tell you what that is. Something that I am not going to buy.
I already own that UK steelbook.

These studios are making it real easy to pass on these double and triple dips by making the cover art look like ass.

I could probably be talked into the Split one if it came down to like $10 or something. It's a nice enough cover and beats the regular cover art (and I can slip out the dvd and put in my 4k). It's a shame it came out so late, and after the 4k release at that.

Men in Black Trilogy 4k Box
Agreed in look, except it's a big ole box at the end of the day. I think I might grab the uk trilogy blu steelbook (if I can secure it at a reasonable price) which houses three discs and use my MIB 3 steelbook in tandem and wait for cheap prices on the 4ks. Or maybe I'll just sit on what I got.
