Did Legend get delayed a couple weeks? Wasn’t it 9/28? Amazon says 10/12 now.
|
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Seems like it did. It says the same thing with my Zavvi order of Legend. Oh well.
|
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Sounds like a jammed great edition. Which cut to see, 1:30 te or 1:54 dc? Sounds like theatrical looks much much better but longer on dc. Anyone see longer version?

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
My copy arrived today and:
The U.S. Theatrical Cut has been exclusively restored by Arrow Films for this release. The original 35mm camera negative (conformed to the International Cut of the film, which could not be included in this set due to territory specific licensing restrictions) and additional interpositive film elements were scanned in 4K resolution at Company 3, Los Angeles. The scans were manually conformed to the U.S. Theatrical Cut by Arrow Films and graded and restored in 2K at Silver Salt Restoration, London. So the TC cut is the one that was restored from a 2K source. The DC, which is technically the better film is still the same one that was released in 2011. |

Hey, look! It's DVD Talk's review of Children of the Corn (UHD).
Pretty much the entire time I grew up, my mother went on and on about Children of the Corn being the most terrifying, most disturbing movie she'd ever seen, so when I finally got around to watching it in the early days of DVD, I was just...what, this? I couldn't wrap my head around how a seasoned horror nut would've been unnerved by something that tame. This was the first time I'd seen the movie since then, and...well, I dislike it less, so I guess that counts for something! |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Like you, I was never a fan of the movie. Never owned the movie, even if it was on sale.
|
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
The new TC version of Legend looks fucking great, IMO.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
If I’ve never seen Legend in full, better to go with DC or TE? DC seems more fleshed out character bits…

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Best Buy had the limited edition Donnie Darko UHD set for $29.99 in stores when I picked it up this week. I had held off on this set because the first pressing had problematic discs for the theatrical cut. I can confirm the copy I just picked up from Best Buy had the corrected disc.

The two cuts have very different musical scores (Tangerine Dream for theatrical, Jerry Goldsmith for DC). Preference for that is personal taste. Both work in their own ways. However, only the theatrical cut has been remastered for this disc, so it will have the better picture quality. The DC only exists in less-than-ideal film elements. |

I saw this too at a few of my local Best Buy B&Ms and held off for the same reason. Might have to go back and pick up a copy. |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Wow. I was so excited for like 2 seconds when I saw they were doing a Chabrol set before I realized 4 of the 5 were already released by Cohen. I don't think there's another major director who's as poorly represented on blu-ray. The guy made like 60 movies and maybe 10 of them (mostly mediocre ones at that) are on Blu.
|
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yeah, apart from the mesmerising L'Enfer, those films don't exactly represent the master of domestic discord at his best.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yeah….x2 on that. I bought these solely on Adam’s great reviews on them. I’ve heard of them in name only, but that’s about it. Looking forward to seeing these.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
One more...!
https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/imag...38393204_1.jpg The last review of mine on the docket (for the moment, anyway) is Arrow's UHD limited edition of The Hills Have Eyes (DVD Talk Collector Series). It shares the same extras, packaging, and even the same 4K scan as the limited edition from five years back, but the color regrade makes an enormous difference, there are more audio options, and a series of subtle improvements (even the paper stock used for the accompanying booklet) help ensure it's worth double (or triple or quadruple) dipping. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I just got the Arrow Blu. Funny.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I already have the Arrow 4k. Funnier.

If it were just a matter of resolution, HDR, and additional audio options, I think the UHD set would be a much tougher sell as an upgrade. I don't care for the colors or contrast on the Blu-ray release, though, and this updated version addresses those issues. But if you're locked into the Blu-ray set, you won't be miserable or anything. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Looks like I need to nab the UHD. Should be a nice upgrade to my DVDs.
|
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
And the price is very good for this one. It’s only bumped up a few bucks since I bought it, and it’s still only $27.99.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Anyone have the UK Arrow version of Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins? If so, how is all around, including extras? Thanks.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I’m hoping for Super Inframan on volume 2.
On one hand, I’m really excited to see so many people’s copies arrive early. On the other, I’m getting this as a Christmas gift from family on the opposite end of the state, and unless Amazon ships ‘em early too, it could be months until I get my grubby mitts on it. |
