Linda Hamilton Returns To Terminator - New Film A Direct Sequel To Judgement Day

Anyway, not everyone in the world uses the same spellings for English words as North Americans. (Cue a tirade from R.R. along the lines of, “Damn you! It’s how the freaking film title is spelled!” etc.)

True…but in this case, is the spelling variant actually used in the movie title?

Judgment is used for the movie title and that’s why I was being a picky asshat about it.

MOVIE-CENSORSHIP.COM has only a comparison between the ALIEN theatrical version and the director’s cut.

I don’t have a Blu-ray drive, so cannot provide any screen shots.

Anybody still owning the old QUADRILOGY DVD box set - or the 2003 2-disc DVD release of ALIEN - as well as the current ANTHOLOGY Blu-ray release, (or just the Blu-ray release of ALIEN) can check for themselves.

I’ve the Anthology Blu-ray disc release. 1999 DVD release too. Kind of counts but I have no idea why it should.

Movie-Censorship.com has tons of version comparisons so there’s that.

The 1999 DVD release of ALIEN was only the theatrical cut. To view the differences between the 2003 & 2010 DIRECTOR’S CUTS, you need the 2003 DVD release of ALIEN (which included both the theatrical and the then new director’s cut) and the 2010 ALIEN Blu-ray (which also includes both cuts).

An example: The bonus creature shot of the Alien dangling near the chains above Brett before it attacks. This shot is exclusive to both director’s cuts. Compare that shot between the 2003 & 2010 director’s cuts and you will see they are different takes of the same scene. The camera pans up and almost past the Alien (for the 2003 version), and for the 2010 version the camera is still and stays on the Alien

I checked your link and there is only a comparison between the ALIEN theatrical and director’s cut but no comparison between the two versions of the director’s cut (2003 & 2010).

There are literally THOUSANDS of comparisons on that site I linked for movies.

Stephen King's IT (1990) - Original two-part version! [RELEASED]

The UHD disc format, still Blu-ray disc but different 0 and 1, uses HEVC/H.265 for the video codec and uses a better compression algorithm. AVC is H.264 and is widely used on Blu-ray disc amongst other digital formats.
The Blu-ray disc released by WB for Stephen King’s IT (1990) uses the AVC codec. As obviously stated in this thread it’s the edited 187 minute version compared to unedited sans commercials as was broadcast.

Well the PS4 plays Blu-Rays, but idk about HEVC. I would imagine so.

I know it plays Blu-ray discs. Does it play UHD or is that the PS4 Pro or Cheeheadmullet or what?

Do you have access to a Blu burner? If so, I’d simply grab a cheap pack of 25GB blanks and burn a menuless Blu-ray movie folder structure & be good to go. TSmuxer spits those right out easy as pie.

I always buy spindles (50 count) of Optical Quantum 25GB 6x logo top. Runs me around $27 and they’re very great quality if you store them correctly. Have always made sure to use Verification/Verify with IMGBurn and burns in about 30 minutes. After I create an ISO from the Blu-ray disc folder with IMGBurn, I re-use IMGBurn to just burn the disc. BDRebuilder helps too if you don’t want a BD50, unnecessary audio/subtitle tracks which some fan preservationists and fan edits have.

Anyone have thoughts on Dishonored? I picked up the PS4 “Definitive Edition” the other day for like $10 while I was looking for (and failing to find) a copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider at my local non-Gamestop shop.

Haven’t popped it in yet, just curious what I should be expecting. I see it’s Bethesda-published, but produced by a different studio - is it in any way like Elder Scrolls or Fallout 3/NV/4, or completely different?

I played this at a friends house and didn’t like it very much. Maybe I need to give it another playthrough.

IDK what that is or means. lol
I converted it to MP4 and kept the subtitles, but the PS4 won’t recognize them. 😕

Recommended Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings games for PS2, GameCube, GBA, DS, PC?

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, for GameCube and PS2.

It’s an RPG centering around another party (not the Fellowship) in Middle Earth whose adventures bring them across the path or in contact with the Fellowship itself. The idea for the game was that the Fellowship’s actions are fixed exactly to what they do in the books or movies, so exploration in an RPG as themselves would be limited. However, following someone who is following the Fellowship allows you to go where they went but you can also wander off on a tangent if you want.

Such a great game. Wish this was also for PC.

Never got to play Third Age but there’s a similar game called War in the North that I adore. You’re part of a group of three whose mission is to help support the Fellowship in the background. The gameplay consists of very fun hack and slash mechanics, with lots of varied loot and gear rewards throughout. It has three person online co-op that is a blast to play with others. It’s available on PS3, 360 and PC. And it looks great on PC. Here are some of my own personal screenshots:


Really need to play that and have been meaning to. There were quite a lot of The Lord of the Rings games released for DOS, Amiga, whichever, when I was a kid and also teens. I even have Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor installed, all DLC, but haven’t even gotten around to it. The Hobbit PC game was decent but I preferred the GBA version for some reason.

CUPHEAD HAS RELEASED! Awesome cause I’m a huge fan of 1930s cinematic animation. Both movies and the shorts.

Alfred Hitchcock

I find Edgar Wright a quality and interesting director - so much that I’d go watch a movie or tv series of his even if I didn’t particularity like/interested by the genre, plot, actors, etc.

If you haven’t already watch Spaced (1999 UK comedy on Channel 4) I suggest you give it a go mate - some really nice homages in there and references to a lot films he, Simon Pegg & Jessica Stevenson enjoyed or were influenced by, plus it was pretty funny it it’s own right too 😃

Think it was free on netflix not so long ago - though it goes for pennies on dvd at ebay etc…

Spaced is great.

Are there bands for who you have all they've ever done?

I’ll admit I’ve way more movie soundtracks and scores on CD, WAV, and FLAC way more than I do compared to bands and individual singers.

Except my The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Simon & Garfunkel, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Cream, Eric Clapton, Electric Light Orchestra, The Cars, AC/DC, The Police, Talking Heads, Clearance Clearwater Revival, yes, Boston, Chicago, Beastie Boys, Genesis, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel side of my music collection is decent.

Thanks. I already did it with Handbrake. 😃

Harry Potter literally didn’t exist for me when I was 10 in 1989.

I’m confused - were these games recommended to you? Are you asking if we would recommend them? Are you recommending them to us? Why make the point about the non-existence of Harry Potter at the seemingly arbitrary age of 10 for you?

All of the above.

Superman I-III extended TV cuts & Info - Where have the Preservations gone? (Released)

My concern is the 2.40:1 is the aspect ratio of the already released cut that is on there and the full frame is the previously unreleased extended cut. Why else include the words Full Frame?

It’s 2.40:1 as stated on blu-ray.com forum. Damn, do the research and scroll up to JayArgonauts post for the complete information. OAR and in DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 to boot.

Try being a little nicer when you post.

20% or 40% or 60% or 80%?

ger-el said:

I did see JayArgonauts post, and I looked at the link. I appreciate him posting it. The issue is the link he posted has some slight differences from the link for the preorder, namely his link lists 16x9 letterbox, while the order page lists 16x9 FULL FRAME. It’s an odd choice to list is as full frame, and considering the International Cut was only ever shown on TV in fullframe as opposed to widescreen or letterbox leads to the question. I have done the research and checked it out. Not sure where the anger is coming from considering I haven’t asked anything out of lack of research. The same question has been brought up on other boards, where some people have actually reached out to WB for clarification.

As an aside, I have loved being a part of this community for quite some time. This is the first time I have ever had such a response. Oh well, have a great day! I hope it is in widescreen.

It’s the same with Amazon and other sites which don’t have completed disc specifications. Cull all information from what you can gather and then get the stuff for thing for the complete details.
Personally, I learned about this release with the Latest News section on the front page of Blu-ray.com

Watched all of FARGO. Season 1 and especially Two I really liked. Might need to rewatch Season Three. Currently rewatching Reilly: Ace of Spies, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy + Smiley’s People, RED DWARF I-XI, Black Adder, Mr. Bean, The IT Crowd, HUMANS (can’t wait for season 3), and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Been recommended The Wire, Game of Thrones, Blake’s 7, and tons more.
