Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Is The Gift a movie that needs lossless? Been years since I’ve seen it, but it didn’t strike me as a title that would need lossless to enjoy it.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Whoa, Map of the Human Heart!

Not only is that a movie I love, it's one I mentioned in the "Name a Movie You Love That Very Few People Have Seen" thread :

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

I watched some but am not sure if this five-day event is a sale or a guided tour through Vudu services. :lol:

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

It needs a proper 5.1 at the very least. Even the fucking DVD has it. I hate when streaming services do this but as Alan Smithee pointed it out -- that is was has been furnished by the studios. It's lame. I have the VUDU copy of Hedwig and the Angry Inch in stereo, when the DVD has the full 5.1. :sarcasm:

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

The 20% code for vudu has arrived (quantities are limited)

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Thanks

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

If I'd have waited I could have used that 20% off coupon along with my $5 credit and buying 2 $2.99 movies would have been free instead of $0.98... LoL....

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

I used the 20% off code on seasons 1-5 of Babylon 5 (I won't call it "complete" because it doesn't have the movies etc.), which was already on sale, so $40 + tax.

I received the $5 off code for the first day, but nothing yet for the D2D or the "watch a free movie" offers. :(

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

I ended up using the 20% for a season of Parts Unknown (Anthony Bourdain) to get it down to $7 which is where I wished all the seasons were at. On the $2.99 end, I snagged 4, Psych the Movie (since I don't have cable), He Never Died, Committed, and Beowulf. More than I probably should spend (also bought S1 of the Missing too)...but they only do something this nice once a year pretty much.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Got Dice Season 1 for $5 since it still isn't on disc, and House of D for $3. That one's only 2-channel on Vudu but 5.1 on FandangoNow.

Fun fact: Map of the Human Heart was the last Scope movie to be released on laserdisc only in pan and scan format.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

I picked up Super Mansion (a funny spoof of superheroes by the Robot Chicken staff) with the 20% off code.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Thoughts on how it looks? I'm so on the fence as I have the DVD's.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

I did get the two additional codes, for 10 and 15% off. :up: Both expire on 1/21/18. Because I rarely buy new releases, I'll try to use these in their year-end sale.

I just compared it with the flipper DVD I have of The Gathering and The Beginning because that was convenient. Both are SD fuzzy, but to my eye, the DVD looks a little better upscaled on PS3. This particular DVD is 4:3 while the Vudu is 16:9, but I believe the full-season DVD is 16:9.

So maybe not the ideal purchase, but I've been meaning to watch this for years (have started season 1 a couple times), and the convenience may help make it finally happen.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

My 15%"off "Movies on Us" coupon came this morning.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Thanks for the info...yes, make time for the show...it's one of the more rewarding shows as it goes on.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Me too, heck if I know what I'm going to use it for though. I guess we have a little bit of time, I think I saw 1/21 as the end date.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Yep, both 10 and 15% codes had 1/21/18 dates. I went ahead and spent them on bundles: 15% off the 14-film Hitchcock, and 10% off Rodgers and Hammerstein (my copy of Sound of Music--a single, not the deluxe box--is not D2D for whatever reason). I also did the two for $9.99 deal on When Harry Met Sally... and Definitely Maybe.

I know the rewards are there if I get through the first season. If I do and then want to explore the movies, those get interesting for digital purchases. I didn't see them at all on Vudu, and Xbox has them as "episodes" of a movie collection for $1.99, or you can purchase Legend of the Rangers as a "movie" for $14.99. :lol:

50% off action sale, 1/1/18 only

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Sweet, finally picked up S4 of Strike Back. $11.99 isn't terrible since nobody here was selling the code.
Anyone watch Quarry? How is it?

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Quarry is no Banshee, but I thought it was worth watching.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Quarry is great, but a bummer that it got canceled after just 1 season.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Only good this did me was that it help me to complete Nikita Season 1 which I had been collecting slowly off T-Mobile credits. Therefore I was able to complete the rest of the season for a measly 2.78 after all discounts. On to Continuum Season 4 now :).

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

So Vudu has an interesting sale on Buffy The Vampire Slayer Complete Series for $29.99 today:
https://www.vudu.com/movies/?CID=Ema...content/907940

It's in SD, but interestingly it's also 8 Seasons. It's the complete seasons 1-7 of the live-action series, but then it includes "season 8" as a motion-comic version of issues 1-19 of the comic that takes place after the end of the show. None of the original actors came back to voice the characters for the motion comic. Also, the motion-comic is only 12 minutes per episode/issue.

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

From what I understand, an HD version of Buffy was remastered a few years ago, but it has a lot of things wrong with it. (lighting, coloring, things getting cropped or stretched or showing up that weren't supposed to be there, etc)

Re: The VUDU Thread - News, Bargains & UV Codes
 

Yeah, the HD version has a lot of issues with it. It's only been shown on cable TV so far, although I think Netflix for a while had SD 16:9 versions, which had their own issues. There's a Facebook page dedicated to documenting all the issues with the HD version:
