Picked up the re-issue of Edward Scissorhands on blu-ray. Skimmed through it out of curiosity and it looks fantastic. Should be fun to properly watch.

btw Been looking at my bd collection. I own 625 blu-rays. Of those, over 385 are films that I previously owned on dvd.

I'm gonna give 4K uhd technology a miss as I have absolutely zero desire to start spending lots of money on upgrading films again. Standard 1080p blu-ray is good enough for me.

Exotica is a fantastic film, probably my favourite from Egoyan.

That was my opinion as well, but then I bought a new TV which came with a UHD player, decided to upgrade my A/V receiver as well, and now tend to buy the 4K Ultra HD releases of newly released films (Avengers: Infinity War, Dunkirk, A Quiet Place) as well as the occasional upgrade when I like the price!

I suppose that the prices will eventually come down but brand new uhd is just so darn expensive. Back when I bought a Black Panther bd, I saw that the supermarket was selling the uhd version for 10 pounds more. A 25 pound asking price for a widely available film is crazy imo. There's only a 5 pound difference between dvd and blu-ray!

I suppose it was like that when Blu-ray was the brand-new format and very few people had the players. Like you say, prices will drop so the UHD discs are priced like BDs are now.

If I'd spent 25 pounds on Black Panther, I may very well have topped myself! (I was really underwhelmed by it).

Not changing my 1080P Sony Bravia until it finally kicks the bucket.

And it could last me for years yet. And by then 8K may be the new flavour of the month.

Been on a Naschy trip lately, so this goes into the pile of his films to watch.
Never seen any of these Filipino horrors so thought it was about time i gave 'em a going over.

Then ordered these online to continue the blood island films.

And continuing the Eddie Romero connection got this which i've always though looks incredibly stupid but entertaining.
