I could have sworn i had The Last Crusade in Letterbox Laserdisc from Japan but couldn’t find it so i bought a no frills viewing copy for 6 bucks, its loose from the box set. The cover is damaged. But if the discs play what do i care. I just want to see all 3 films.
So i have Raiders Rental with OBI Letterbox, Temple with no OBI Letterbox, and Box set Last Crusade Letterbox.A weird way to watch them sure. But i paid 24 for Raiders, 13 for Temple and 6 for LC, way less than the 80-100 dollar price the boxed set goes for. It also means i don’t have the making of disc but i have the making of Raiders from the us release, and great movie stunts which the Japanese set doesn’t, yeah its analog no digital, but is digital sound and great adventurers and their quests worth another 50, not for me.
While looking for LC letterbox i tested both the evergreen pan and scan which was nice, and first issue which is rotten.
I also tested 3 Criterion titles so far Akira was very nice, same for CAV DR No, Ghostbusters CAV is rotten its an expensive gatefold this made me furious. Going to have to test all my Criterions there is a good chance most of them will have rot, i hope its just Ghostbusters.
Edit: None of my Criterions have major rot except Ghostbusters.
Just purchased Indiana Jones 4K 4 film collection I already have Dial in 4k. 70 bucks is a bit much for 4 films but with 4k and Atmos it is a substantial upgrade. Deep Discount beat Amazon’s price by a couple of bucks.
Added the rental Laserdisc for Dr. No, no OBI that was 30. And added the 2000 Star Wars trilogy laserdisc set that was 99 bucks also no OBI. Added Project A-ko Perfect disc OBI, gatefold, glue edge damage and laser rot a waste of 40 dollars.
