Blade Runner - Five-Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition - Limited Tin Box (1982) (Warner UK)

Bought this just for the 1982 International Version...and maybe the extras... ;)

I picked up a brand new and sealed copy of that one a few months ago for either £3.99 or £4.99 including delivery. I've never watched Blade Runner, but I'm aware of the reputation of the film.

I saw the Devil (Blu)
Into Eternity (Documentary about nuclear waste storage)

Veering off completely from the current topic of discussion, I'm highly interested in picking up the recent Scorpion Releasing DVD's of movies like The Survivor and Final Exam. Would you guys recommend them as a high quality company?

Can't answer that, but I just ordered my first Scorpion disc, The Pyx. I might get Nothing But The Night next, byt there aren't many titles from them that interest me...

Maybe have a look at their older pre-Katarina titles?

Welcome to Scorpion Releasing

I actually own more of those. ;)

I just bought Slaughter High from gaahl07 on here :clap: . . .

So did I. But I thought 'this shit is just gathering dust and taking up shelf space', so I sold it and got the natty embossed tin (nicer than the card one in the silver case set) :nod: . . .

Yeah, mine lives under a chair in the front room next to its cooler older brother the James Bond attache case.

I dust them both every damn week.

Red Dragon - Awful film, but Fiennes was good.
Hannibal (film) - Absolutely terrible, just felt like a cartoon.
Hannibal (novel) - Terrible writing, pacing, plot - just really dull.
Manhunter - Great film, but looks like a Hall and Oates video.
Gladiator - Good, like the epics of old. Not amazing though.

Russell Crowe - I like him, his performance as Bud White was career making, Gladiator made him a star. A few duffers (A Good Year, Robin Hood) but all in all, pretty solid.

Ridley Scott

Bad: Robin Hood, A Good Year, Kingdom of Heaven (original cut), 1492, Hannibal
Alright: Prometheus, Legend, Black Hawk Down, Matchstick Men, Someone to Watch Over Me
Good: Gladiator, Black Rain, Thelma and Louise, The Duellists
Great: Blade Runner, Alien, Kingdom of Heaven (directors cut), American Gangster

Never seen: White Squall, Body of Lies

I think that covers my opinion on all current discussions? Haha

As long as Ridley Scott has Alien, Prometheus, Blade Runner (AMAZING MOVIE), Kingdom Of Heaven and Gladiator on his Resume, I will never doubt the mans ability.

Am I the only one worried about the new blu ray set?
All 5 disc of the old set PLUS an extra 1000 photos on to 3 discs.
At least it said it had all the old content.
