I got this signed at the The Carrington House Hotel Bournemouth "STAR TREK sci-fi ball" around mid February 2002.
(Jeremy Bulloch) who plays Boba Fett

(Michael Sheard) Admiral Ozzel I noticed him when I walked into the Hotel lobby he was sat down mind his own business and I approached him and asked if was. "Indeed I am". Funny fela. I asked him he would be here all day and if it would be okay for him to sign the inside of the chapter booklet. I did have to rush home some 20mins and then rush back with box set and some STAR TREK DVD as I had no idea these cast members who I grew up watching in the 80's and then seeing the STAR TREK Next-Generation I know I can't show the DVD's here so maybe in another thread.

One of the Ewoks A Mike I can't make out the last name? I think > He was sat next to Jeremy Bulloch who signed the front cover.

A couple favorites.
Brazil (Beautiful box, tons of extras)
Seven (great movie and extras)
The Game (Super fun movie, excellent transfer. Wish it had more extras though)
Akira (Beautiful tri-fold sleeve, fantastic extras)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (fun to have both theatrical and the alternate, great extras as well)
Polyester (Love that it comes with the odorama card for the smells and super cool having the short documentary and extras) |

This is the real future of customer service from larger businesses, you will get these fool mom and pops who think they have to do everything
even if it makes them bankrupt but these larger companies will just blow us off and we will keep coming back for more.
Experienced both of the above situations too many times first hand from large and small.
Reminds me of this guy who when I mentioned that ebay wanted to do mandatory returns he told me, sure its a great thing even this department store in the
area did returns after 3 years. When I asked him what happened to that store he said they went out of business :lol: |

Hi,
For a few years I've maintained a website where I compare LD and DVD audio tracks to their blu-ray counterparts. Most are better, but some are worse. The gist of it is that since the early-mid '90s, noise reduction has obliterated detail from films in the same way that video NR has made some films on blu-ray look waxy and blurry.
If anyone here has the ability to capture any LaserDiscs they own, I'd be happy to compare them to their blu-ray counterparts. |

Yeah, 5555 on LD is a bit of a dream of mine. It would bookend the Galaxy Box so well... |

Not sure how I missed this, but the fella who runs Animeigo stumbled upon a treasure trove of original camera negatives for a whole bunch of anime that were presumed lost forever (I remember them from the Sheffield Space Centre small ads in Manga Mania in the early 1990's when Bubblegum Crisis was £25 per episode on VHS!). (source: https://normanicgrav.co.uk/2023/02/25/cyber-city-oedo-808-limited-edition-blu-ray-unboxing/)
He stumbled upon them in a vault in Japan when looking for resources for a Madox-01 project he was working on. So thanks to this lost treasure being rediscovered it would appear that original camera negative scans of things like Madox-01, Angel Cop (YES!!! :D), Appleseed. Megazone 23 and Cyber City Oedo 808 plus other titles could now be transferred and restored in glorious HD. This vault is where Project A-Ko was discovered too I think.
Anyway, out of all of this, I finally received the 'new' Blu Ray of Cyber City Oedo 808 this week which replaces the old SDBD released a year ago from Anime Limited. I say 'new' as just after the previous SDBD was released was when the camera negatives were discovered. Diskotek put them out in the USA as a Cyber City Oedo 808 steelbook though it didn't have all the fancy extras the UK SDBD had (e.g. the wonderful Rory McFarlane soundtrack CD and booklet) it was the lustful new scans everyone wanted.
Anime Limited put out the Discotek version this month in a more toned down set. You only get the Blu Ray disc and some art cards as opposed to the more deluxe SDBD set. I don't mind as I own both, but it's a shame they didn't include the other extras in the new updated version.
To eventually get to the point I watched the first episode (my favourite of the three) yesterday for the first time as it was originally shot from the camera negative and of course I watched it with the profanity-riddled UK dub track and the infinitely superior UK Rory McFarlane soundtrack (the proper and best way to watch Cyber City Oedo 808 imho, like watching Akira with the USA 'cowabunga dub', I can't watch Akira any other way. :lol: ).
It blew my mind how utterly wonderful it looked. The trademark Kawajiri blue and red tones looked even better as they lit up the bleak cyber distopia of the future megacity of Oedo. The dub is as crass as ever (and just as great. I'm 99.9% of the time anti-dubbing but make rare exceptions e.g Akira and Oedo) plus the UK soundtrack still kicks ferocious amounts of buttocks!
This is how Cyber City Oedo 808 was meant to be seen and what a treat it is for anime fans and just fans of quality entertainment that those camera negatives that were presumed lost for all those years finally showed up. Brilliant stuff and this UK disc (or the USA steelbook, whatever works best for you) is not to be missed. Brilliant stuff. Hoping to get more from this haul as it's released. Especially Appleseed and Angel Cop from the original camera negatives, wow! :thumbup:

It’s truly amazing how much detail and texture Blu-Ray can extract from even average anime. Shows like ZZ Gundam have *way* more beautiful line work than I realized and backgrounds have so much better color on BR than SD video or DVD.
Don’t even get me started on Angel’s Egg. It’s almost as if it wasn’t really released until the BR came out. Outside of a theatrical screening nobody ever *really* saw it until the BR came out. A quality 1080p scan of that movie made me love it even more than I did. |

Viewed TENET for another experience in null entropy retro genre.
Nolan created a masterpiece with an all star cast to deliver the plot.
Denzel Washington has to be proud of his sons role as main protagonist.........
Anticipated Nolans next project to drop this month so went ahead and viewed TENET again.
Cheers to the membership ..... |

Watched a rom/com with my girlfriend, "Blast from the Past"..... (again...)
Felt motivated to review being that we are living at def con V.
Like this fun movie. Not a Walkin fan however really enjoyed his role in this one.
My take - Clever, original, and actually humorous.
This one led me to share Dr. STRANGLOVE next !
Cheers to membership. |

Ironically it's probably a less confusing experience than watching it with the subs that currently exist for it. |

| Recently bought these two from two different sellers from lddb. These are stock photos. The Fifth Element is the Pioneer Edition and seller listed it rot-free because the Pioneer pressing apparently didn't have any issues with rot. Now here's a real shocker to most of you. I'm not sure I've ever sat through The Fifth Element movie. I've caught parts of it when it came on tv and I know my Father enjoys it. My Father is definitely a fan of Bruce Willis and has seen this movie. This movie is more or less for him and since I read online that this release is suppose to be gorgeous looking I thought this would be a good one for him. |

Well okay...
1. The Next Generation
2. Original Series / Deep Space 9 (hard to decide for me)
3. *see above
4. Voyager
5. Picard (last season was fantastic, the others... meh. mixed bag. Would have been the potential to get higher up in the ranking)
6. Enterprise
7. Strange New Worlds
.
.
.
99. Discovery :sick: :sick: :sick: Just no. No.
Never seen the animated series, so not gonna judge. |

| I sliced my still sealed copy open the other week to view it and there was disc rot. Most of the visual and audio issues were minimal and on the first side but its still a bummer knowing its been sealed for over 20 years and had issues right out of the sleeve. |

Looking to get the Serial Experiments Lain and Berserk LDs but theyre so expensive! Does anyone know where I can find subtitle files for some of these? Mainly Neon Genesis, but if there's others available I'd love to get them. |

Bubblegum Crisis AnimEigo Blu Ray 3 disc set.Blu-Ray i don't know if its compression or dnr but these don't look as good as they should on a 4k tv, i've turned off all filters shouldn't there be more grain.
Don't get me wrong its not waxy smooth like Ghost in the Shell which is supposed to be 4k but looks like a**.
So grain=good? Kodak would be so sad…they worked for 150 years to reduce it!
The BGC Blu-rays were spot scanned from, I think, a new print made from the original negative. You don’t end up with a lot of grain that way.
Ghost in the Shell used cels but was shot digitally so there should be zero grain. |
