How much roughly would it cost to send a DVD from England or Wales to Ireland? |
Quote:
Around £1.26 by first class post. |
A couple of years back i tried to post two books to England they tried to charge me €30. Not the same as a dvd/blu ray granted but €30 :xmastongue: |

Sorry people, just put on Zombi 3 and respectfully have to disagree about the quality. I don't think it's bad at all. When I hear people talking about awful Italian blu-ray transfers, I think of Arrow's initial Tenebrae release. This is nothing like that. But we're all entitled to our opinions, even if i'm right and you're wrong. I'm joking with that last sentence there! :D |
I've only had a quick flick through Zombi 3 and it looks fine to me too. Was the scan actually done in Italy or was it done elsewhere, because it's an alternative negative they used. |
Quote:
Not sure where it was done. As mentioned earlier about other transfers, I would agree about other films with the colours "popping". Doesn't really happen here, and some scenes look pretty soft, but I wouldn't say it looks bad. |

On the plus side Hitch Hike looks pretty good. |

Predator was actually grainy as hell. He must've hated it. I bet he loved the dnr'd to hell Ultimate Hunter Edition blu-ray! |

Predator is a real unfortunate film in my opinion. In some ways it looks better on vhs. |
Quote:
The crazy thing is that people went apeshit over the original blu-ray, which retained the very grainy look of the original cheap film stock, and Fox went a complete 180 with the special edition and turned it into a reject from Madame Tussaudes. |

I just stuck with the original Predator Blu-Ray. It lacks the extras but I still have the DVD. My only real gripe with the original Blu-Ray is that the colours are very drab. There's like a brownish tone to everything. Thankfully, the detail is there. |
I'm not big on grain myself, but the Ultimate Hunter Edition does go too far, i don't personally think its as bad as many say but there are times when the characters look like CGI. The first 15 mins or so are the worst. |
Where are people complaining about Zombie 3? I stuck it on and thought it looked f***** ace. Possibly one of the best looking of their Italian Line. Italian films of the late 80's and 90's all looked soft focus. I enjoy the films from this era, check out Sodoma's ghost, touch of death... all soft looking. For me the Blu-ray really does represent 88's best efforts. I checked on Amazon and no one there seems to be unhappy. Perhaps it's Blu-rage? ? (copyright stephen) If so those fellas are never happy. |

A couple of people here. And it's cool, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I just didn't think it looked as bad as people thought. The "blu-rage" people actually thought it looked ok (surprising, I know!). |

I think it was Camera Obscura who said the other year when they first started releasing titles on blu that a lot of Italian films look better in SD than they ever will in HD. For a HD master to look amazing there are a lot of things that need to be right, the negative has to be in decent order to begin with, but if the actual film was shot with bad lighting and on grainy stock it's never going to look fantastic. Unless of course people prefer a DNR'd look and boosting. |
great news on Trancers 3 will defintiely pick that one up, the decision then lies if parts 4 and 5 are released as I thought those 2 were particularly awful compared to the rest of the series |
Only ever seen the first two Trancers. Definately pick them all up though. |
