What Blu Ray's do you own?

[gor289]

Band of Brothers is my all time favourite series/movie.

I think I've watched it from start to finish about 30 times. I really hope this next one is as good..
Its also the only 'WAR' movie I can get my missus to watch.... damn chick flicks!!!!

[Snickersma]

Absolutely Gor - only tv series even comes close was Deadwood... band of bros was like 10 Saving Private Ryan movies end to end - just as good quality + with an incredible storyline.

May fav bit - when Easy co. is stuck in the snow in France (or Belgium?).. hellish stuff.

[gor289]

yeah BASTONE I think.. I'de have to agree that's one of the best episodes

[Tank1252]

Which 'the descent' film are you talking aboot? The Scotish one?

[Snickersma]

Yeah think it was Scottish - random teenagers in cave - unholy monster thingy crawling around - you could guess the rest. Not a bad flick tho...

[Tank1252]

Yeah, thought so...googled it & got some dodgy looking Luke Perry straight-to-video affair too. :Hangman:

[kobeson]

it's english I think, but yeah that's the one... and I agree with stiffy - one of the best genre pictures in recent years...

After Snicks specifically warned me, I still managed to self-ban myself quoting his message! *:banned:

Anyways I'm back now thanks to Sly. :thumbsup:

Band of Brothers has supposedly already been announced for Blu-ray release, but no date has been given. I loved every episode, except for the one where the dude went wacko and kept staring into the sky - that was not as good as the rest, but still pretty good.

Hadn't heard anything about the Pacific, thanks for the heads up snicks. Although I'm not going to get overly excited. Band of Brothers was based off a book(s?) by Stephen Ambrose which were themselves based on a true story. The Pacific is fictional and written by somebody else. I think it will lose a lot seeing as for me a lot of the attraction of Band of Brothers was knowing that all this stuff really happened to these people. Also it won't have the same characters either from what I can gather, at least looking at imdb.com, which makes sense I guess.

[Snickersma]

Point taken Stiffy.. but i reckon if they can get the script rioght - and HBO productions are usually spot on - like Deadwood for example ... and the war itself was just as bitter and hard-fought in the pacific. But i know what you mean re the authenticity of the story.

[AStiffBreeze]

Easy company in real life was unique because they fought in nearly all of the big/interesting WW2 battles: d-day, market garden, battle of the bulge, the eagles nest... hence band of brothers made for a pretty riveting story because it was the same characters in all of the situations. Don't know if there were any such units in the Pacific *i.e. ones who fought in all of the big battles. Plus many of the biggest battles in the Pacific were primarily naval, so may not make for the same sort of action as band of brothers.

Like you say though Snicks, HBO have a good track record, so fingers crossed I guess.

[YNWA01]

@ Tanker... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Descent#Production *..a Brit flick (yank funded I'll bet though). Makes ya' proud doesn't it? And no Luke Perry fo'sure!!!

[Snickersma]

Hey dont knock ..."the Legend"...

[Quandons]

Just added another 3 movies to my collection
3:10 To Yuma
Hitman
Alpha Dog (I love this movie)


Might be ordering season 1 - 3 on blu ray soon.

[Miney]

Lol.

[Snickersma]

Miney your missing out mate - get some NOW!!! Thats an order!! *:finga:

[Miney]

No worries Captain Nickers *:finga:

[kobeson]

:vom: * * *:retard: *:crybaby: *:banned:

sorry, but I hate hearing that people have no Blu-Rays (LOL)

I just added Cloverfield and The Descent to my tally also, and last weekend I bought Mission Impossible 3 - it was out of print, and a month ago JB said according to their computers, there was one shop in NSW that had a copy... well, I found a $40 gift card for Big W lying around, and walked in, and lo and behold, it was sitting there behind a few other titles on the Big W shelf!!! snapped that baby up!!

I now have 30 I think(!) and I have Face/Off SE on the way from the states also...

I'm a bad bad man... I have to stop... but my missus loves them as much as I do, so nobody is in trouble at least

[Miney]

Sorry? No apology needed Captain Snob-e-son *:finga:

[Quandons]

Whoops I missed what seasons of what I was ordering. I now have season 1 and 2 of Weeds on their way, Season 3 will have to wait abit.

[kobeson]

LOL mines

[Snickersma]

Anyone got/getting Zodiac on BLU?? Saw it in store for $30 the other day ... fukn love that film... one fo the best in the last 10 years I reckon ...

[Quandons]

Just added Underworld 1 and 2 my collection and also Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. I think Close Encounters is the best value for money, You get 3 versions of the film on it and it looks great on blu. You get the Original Version, Special Edition and Directors Cut. I watched the Directors Cut, I will check out the other versions later, You also have an option to display what has been added or deleted from the Original version.

[kobeson]

yeah, CE3K is awesome hey quan... and the PQ is pretty good - quite gritty and grainy, but prob the best it will ever look tho... pretty sharp when it needs to be...

[Quandons]

yeah, Well the grain at the start of the movie I put down to the fact they are in a sandstorm but yeah there is other grain in the film *:P . You can also notice some weird depth of field in it as well, the bottom of some signs are sharp where as the top is blurry and stuff but all in all it came out pretty well.

[Quandons]

Still waiting on the Matrix Trilogy as promised like 12 months ago *:\

[kobeson]

damnit!

you just overtook me bastardo!!!

that's it, off to Big W I go then!!!

the nearest Big W to me is shitehouse - where is the best Big W in Melbourne for Blu Rays, anybody?

[Quandons]

Batman begins isn't in the 2 for $40. Batman was an import.

http://catalogues.bigw.com.au/portal/dy ... gotopage=1

There is a link to movie cataloge. The blu rays are on the last page.


[edit] It took me forever to find the blu's at my local big w and they day I found them was a very happy (and expensive) day. They had a shit collection last time i was there (about 2 weeks ago) but there collection is pretty decent at the moment so maybe it will be similar with your local stores. Maybe they get more stock in for the sale.

[Natzke]

Ohh i c...i guess i'll have to buy BB when i buy teh Matrix on BRdvd and TDK, another year or so...

[Quandons]

Batman begins is region free so feel free to import it
