Blind buy from JB:



Thought I'd take a punt on this, trailer was good, got generally very good reviews and it certainly looks and sounds like my cup of tea, so...

Discovered that the new US blu-ray of Dario Argento's Opera is region b friendly so I ordered it from wow hd.

11.46 pounds is a good price for a brand new title being shipped over to the UK. I know that there has been some criticism of the image sometimes shaking a bit but I'm hoping that won't affect my enjoyment too much.

This latest version looks far superior to the Japanese and German blu-rays which I've previously bought. There's significantly more picture information (which does look correct), better detail, improved colours and no hiss (yay!) on the English soundtrack.

It may have been smarter to await and compare to the forthcoming Shameless UK release but this is one of my favourite Argento films so I ordered it anyway. Am really looking forward to seeing this new disc.

btw Not too fussed about missing out on the later US 'deluxe edition' as I strongly prefer using the post-Cannes English soundtrack.

Had an email from HMV earlier about my Cat o Nine Tails set, saying they’re having trouble getting the stock from the suppliers, which is why it’s still not been sent out yet!

Anyone had theirs from HMV yet?

That's a shame. They had plenty in store at HMV today.

I actually cancelled my order last week, £25 is too much for a single film and a book I'm never going to read...

It is bloody expensive. I'm really surprised that the Cat 'O Nine Tails blu-ray price didn't significantly drop. For many folks, it's not even one of their favourite Argento films. If I had the patience, it would have been wiser to hold out for a 'regular edition' release.

Am currently waiting for Amazon to deliver my copy. Is supposed to be arriving today. 4.50 pm and it's still not here. We won't be able to watch until Thursday but I would like to hold it in my hands.
