Yeah, Welcome Back DE, that was a long time. And glad to see the new avatar.
It felt like the right time to show to a more positive face. As much as I hate modern copyright laws, I love Man’s infinite, diverse ways of understanding the Divine more.
Any changes on the pizza or job front?
Quoth the Testa, “Nope.”
Anchor Bay teamed up with Shout Factory to release a huge boxed set of the first 10 Halloween films. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to get the original film with the damned mono track, and lossless to boot. But you can’t get it individually. Which is all I want. Goddamn first world problems.

You just have to keep looking on Ebay. People do break up the set from time to time.
You could also buy the set used and sell off the rest?
Where were you in '77?

How would I differentiate between the one from the set and the individual release from before? I doubt most people would sell off the only good movie in the set 😉.

This isn’t a bad idea…

We kinda discussed something along similar lines to this near the bottom of this page and some more people replied on the next page. I bought the 10-disc set not knowing that a 15-disc set existed so I was trying to figure out what I was missing out on.
From what I can tell the Halloween version in the 10 disc box is just disc one from the 2-disc 35th anniversary release (you get both in the 15-disc set.) You can buy the 35th anniversary individually, prices vary wildly but I’ve never seen it more expensive than the 10-disc set. I think that’s your best option, Mike.
But maybe the new film’s release this year will bring yet another re-release of the original so it might be worth waiting for that?
I’d love an HD version of the 25th Anniversary edition. Carpenter oversaw a color regrade that made it look like it was actually autumn in the mid-west instead of spring in California. It really looked great. Lost to time I assume.

The “mono” on the 35th anniversary version, apart from being lossy DD 2.0, is unfortunately just a downmix of remix. It’s only the boxed set version with the real mono, and lossless to boot.

This thought has more than once occurred to me. When’s the new film due?

They suck so bad, the forum decided it had to be said twice.

Of course they suck. They’re heavy metal.
(I’m kidding, I’ve got no vendetta with heavy metal I just don’t love listening to it).
Not enough people read the EU.
Nirvana is overrated.

Sheesh. Kids.

Nirvana is overrated.
Five Finger Death Puncher confirmed.
I usually get the impression they’re held to super high standards and that Kurt Cobain is such an icon basically because he did drugs and killed himself, so imo they get a bit too much praise and attention, more than they deserve.

To be fair, I don’t even know what that is.

I don’t deny that his death plays a part in it, but not the only part.

Ok so they’re a band and I feel really dumb because given the context it seemed pretty obvious, but I didn’t think a band would be named ‘five finger death punch’, so it didn’t even cross my mind. It kind of sounds like the name of an ultimate combo from a fighting video game or something. Doesn’t sound like something I’d enjoy listening to though

Not American, just Interntian. Actual Literal Laugh Out Loud.
