I pre-ordered the Conan 4K two movie set..... so nice to get The Sure Thing back in print but if it doesn't have the commentary that's a bit of a drag.

These releases make me very, very happy. I'm so excited. I will definitely be getting the separate titles. They will look so much better sitting next to each other. People say physical media is dying. No, no, no, physical media is moving to an exclusive online market. As long as we buy, we have nothing to worry about.

I only just subscribed to you last week - And already you've tipped me off about Conan. - Thanks. I bought this on bluray a while back, only to discover it was some old version with all the 'Horse Falls' cut out of it. I remember that from years ago on a VHS release. Hopefully these 3 versions will take care of that issue.

Holy crap man your temperature is in the upper 80s??? Aren’t you in the Chicago area? I didn’t realize it got that warm this time of year. Holy crap that’s amazing. We got nailed with early snowfall the last couple weeks of October that was threatening to ruin Halloween. But we got incredibly lucky and we had a bit of a warm-up on the 30th and on the 31st. It was actually above freezing for a change. Our temperature peaked on Halloween probably around oh 45°F roughly. And by the time we were outside either trick-or-treating or creeping around as I like to do every Halloween it was probably closer to 36°F or so. Temperatures in the upper 80s is like our July lol that’s pretty awesome. We rarely hit 90°F except once in a while and it’s always in July or really early August maybe. I’ve always wanted to be able to have a Halloween that was actually warm outside still and you could walk around without having to worry about a bunch of extra clothing. But yeah that’s wild. I had no idea it was that warm in Illinois. I really need to move some place warmer! As for the Conan releases, that is just awesome! I watched them all the time as a kid growing up I will admit I was more of a destroyer fan as a kid because it was more polished and Hollywood style. Where barbarian is clearly a more superior film by itself. I enjoy them both, and I’d love to have a 4K copy. I’m not sure if I’m gonna shell out that kind of money for it yet, but I will definitely have my eye on those. Also, I am with you, I would much rather have the single copies than the set. The set leaves a little to be desired. I think with the cover art, but I love the look of the singles. Sorry about all the rambling, but just trying to catch up on your videos. Cheers

Never apologize for rambling! I always appreciate it. Hence the subheading for my channel. lol Actually I am from Chicago but I live in Texas now which is why it was so hot. And the temperature did drop for Halloween but still in the high 50's so it was nice out. Have one more uptick this weekend in the 70's then it drops. And I'm still without AC until Monday. Naturally. Haha I loved seeing your pictures from Halloween! Such an amazing job on your costume. Your costumes literally look like they are from the films. I am blown away by how well you do them.

I much prefer the Scream Factory version of Carrie. I'd much rather have a Blu-ray disc of the movie rather than having extras stuff like books and cards, the way I see it is if the 4K disc gets damaged in the future at least I have a 4K transfer on Blu-ray as a backup. There's no way to know if these discs will be available in the future so I like the peace of mind of having a backup.
@RichardDiaz
11 ай бұрын
I agree on having that peace of mind. Especially with not knowing how many films will ever be re-released in years to come on disc. I do believe that physical media isn't going away but that doesn't always mean movies will be available so it's nice to have some sort of backup especially with favorites.

I totally appreciate your perfectionism when it comes to the music... I have a bluray of the 1976 King Kong. One of my favorite scenes is when Jessica Lange wakes up in the ceremony. But the Bluray tones down the bass of the tribal drums - and raises the volume of the chanting - Which is just not how it used to sound. I expected it to be really 'Bassy' with the DTS. but no - they messed with the sound mix.

Is that the Shout Factory release?

I do think we will eventually get a really great release of it but it just may be a few more years. I will wait ... impatiently. lol

Many thanks Richard! Hope the AC trouble isn't the same as I had. That was a bundle. Lower 80s here. Big cold front coming in Sunday night. Should be a 40 degree drop overnight. I'll have to run the heater. I've never heard of Sand Piper. I did hear about Olive going out of business and selling all it's back stock to another company. I liked Invader from Mars but I don't even think I've got it on dvd. I might get Murphy's War. Still deciding on that. Nice cover art on that Carrie. That looks like 8 post cards. Really nice. Conan might have lots of extras. The artwork designs on that film were fantastic. I don't know that I've seen the extended cut. Somewhere I've got the Varabese soundtrack release. Would be nice if it had some Barry Windsor-Smith art from the comic. I'll pick up one of the versions. Too bad no new Arnold interviews. Thanks again and have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you so much! You feel my pain with this heat. lol It's going to be weird for the temperature to drop so quickly so I'm sure my body will be like, "What is happening here?!?!" lol I'm actually ok during the day with heat but during the night I can't sleep when it's too hot so the last few nights have been tough. I forgot about all of the cuts on Conan. I think the extended cut is the one that was mainly on video which had some extra bits of nudity and violence I think. That longer cut is the one that I think has extra dialogue scenes. The one I remember specifically is one that takes place before the last battle at the mounds. Been awhile though since I've seen that cut. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to get an interview with Arnold but I know getting time with him is tough. I am glad they included the commentary track with he and John Milius.

It's a way of appreciating the work on the film especially when it comes to cinematography, set design, and everything else. It's like seeing it in the theater in that regard. The added resolution and (hopefully) an accurate color grade makes it closer to the original 35mm film that the filmmakers set out to make. At least that is how I feel about it.
