Can anyone tell if the German BD of RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3 is worth getting?

4 of his best films :nod:

I had it. It's the unrated version. It was no better than the R-Rated US dvd. I believe it's actually an upscale.

Probably a lot more entertaining than the actual artwork. Someone at Universal needs a slap for those covers!

They sure are to be honest its only recently that i wanted Casablanca i was convinced i would not like it but a mate of mine told me to give it a watch i just loved it right away. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is one of my fav films of all time i may have mentioned that once or twice before :blush:. The Maltese Falcon is a fantastic film. I have not seen High Sierra before really looking forward to watching it tonight.

This one for The Blues Brothers is fine. Can't see why it would cause any consternation!

They're all bland.

It's that annoying thing of making all the covers (to vastly different films) look like part of a set just because they belong the same studio. Its like Sony and those nasty white and gold covers for Taxi Driver, Close Encounters, Bridge on the River Kwai, Stand By Me and the like...

Well this is no blander than the original artwork for The Blues Brothers, which was nothing special. In fact, I'd say it was an improvement. Nice and colourful. I'd go with "minimal" rather than "bland".

I like minimal.

Anyhow, doesn't matter, so long as the HD Landis lols are on form!

Hmmmm I have to disagree. Iconic Blues Brothers artwork or that blue monstrosity. No contest. :)

I don't think it is iconic - that standing by the car in front of the building site thing is colourless and ugly. Which is why it has changed so much over the years, I guess. I don't agree that there even is a definitive, iconic bit of artwork for The Blues Brothers. And the current UK DVD is truly repulsive. This BD looks great in comparison, with a much classier font..

I also disagree that it is a "blue monstrosity". I genuinely cannot see anything in it that warrants it being branded a monstrosity. It's a pleasant and more than serviceable bit of artwork that suits the film and looks nice on the shelf and in the hand.

Each to his own mate. You think the original is bad.....and I know the truth. :)

I quite like all the covers for the new series of Universal releases.

Out of the UNIVERSAL 100 series it's probably the one that works the best, what with the 'blue' connection :loco: (though the quote plastered at the top looks rubbish). The one for The Birds is probably the worst of the bunch. The series as a whole shows a total disregard for the art of cover design, with their cut-and-paste cookie cutter 'one design fits all' template :mmph: . . .

And they call me mad! ;)

Lets be honest, I suspect its partly to stop people skipping to certain scenes directly for a little 'self gratification' ;)

Hell yeah. That tramp chick behind the cafe is SMOKIN :smokin: . . .

I just like the metallic blue effect.

They all sit together nicely on a shelf i would think and pretty much look the same, which is the ideal for a series of films.

Nice choice of quote for Jurassic Park - "Welcome to..." :doh: . . .

I'm a massive fan of just about everything David Lynch has made, from Eraserhead to Mulholland Drive and The Straight Story, Lost Highway to Wild at Heart and, of course, Twin Peaks.

Yeah same here! David Lynch never really disappointed me :nod:

Hopefully he'll get round to making another film soon (anyone bought his album?) . . . !

Doesn't seem to be in filmmaking mood – according to his most recent tweet, he's concerned about finding the right food for a mole in his garden!

Well, quite !

Yeah ebay bargains! Just got Murnau's Faust for £6, and Aki Kaurismaki's Man Without a Past for £4. Check me and my cinephilia :woot: . . .

I caved into temptation and just purchased this.

Excellent buys :clap:

Recieved BFI's 100 Silent Films book this morning, so hopefully lots of cool titles to discover. Got the Criterion of The Phantom Carriage in my sights. Plus in the run up to La Havre coming out on dvd (missed it at the cinema), I'm trying to work my way through the whole of Kaurismaki's filmography. Man Without a Past and Matchstick Factory Girl are my current joint favourites . . .

I see we share the same taste:) I recommend you Murnau's Der letzte Mann

Decided to finally get around to buying some more Ghibli on Blu, both Laputa and Whisper Of The Heart.

I am sorely tempted right now for those German BD's of Enter The Ninja and Revenge Of The Ninja though. My bank account is going to croak over the next few months, I know it. :D

Ooh £7.50 on amazon. Tempting. How about The Haunted Castle? Sounds cool (assuming its about a haunted castle) . . .

Ok buy it now! I mean The Last Laugh .I haven't seen Haunted Castle yet,I think it's a drama with some horror elements

I too wish he would make another film. Lynch is a true visionary in my opinion.

The album 'Crazy Clown Time' is pure Lynch by the way, it's the nearest thing you're going to get to a new film for the forseeable future or perhaps even GULP.....forever :sad: Think the 'Pink Room' track from FWWM soundtrack and you have the sound of his debut solo album.

I had to snatch these up at $5.99/ea. shipped.

I seem to be having some real good luck so far in finding out of print Code Red titles for regular retail :dance: .

Exceptional luck! Good on you!

for the cover alone i would say yes :rockon:

I have had shipping confirmation from Amazon.de about the limited edition three disc BD release of Assault on Precinct 13, something I had completely forgotten I had ordered!

I also missed Le Havre at the cinema but, as someone who stumbled across Aki Kaurismäki's films by accident and now love them, it's one I'll definitely pick up on DVD.
