Can someone here help us get the retail BD Dutch release of The Neverending Story?

Thanks

It is just the US Version, afaik. But it is announced to have better color and better sound than the US release, even if picture is not as sharp as US release.

A dutch online store seems to sell it for about € 12 not including shipping. To bad my vacation is still 2 weeks in the future, its only ~60 km to Venlo from home.

 

EDIT:

freerecordshop.nl wants a NL adress at registering. Seems not very european/international friendly. I can't find any other sonline stores selling NL stuff. Maybe I can locate it on a trip in my vacations somewhere in a store, if I find time for a trip.

We just don't get into "bare bones" releases, that's not our style, I personally don't care for them myself but that's me and this was requested in our thread so if you think you can do it then go for it, at this time I do not have or even know where to get the HDTV file or iTunes file, but MrBrown is a damn good friend of mine and maybe he won't mind the "bare bones" approach.

After seeing the images of the BD, I won't mind a bare bone, if it just would make the movie in the better quality avaible for me. (I can't buy at US iTunes.)

Sure, I really would love some kind of great work with best image and best possible sound, Bonus Features and menu, but I love the movie, so seeing the BD Version just hurt my Disney Movies loving heart, and I care more about the movie itself, than about (cool) additional stuff...

I just saw the images comparison and know, that something has to be done. :) I just don't wan't any fights on this. :) Because: No matter, if Team Blu or some other team or single member: you all are always doing a great job, and one thing for sure: you all love what you do...

...damn I always get emotional when drinking a beer and talk on movies. :)

I would say, that Team Blu has much cool project in the future, and that it won't hurt if this little pice of gem is movie wise put together by another one. Maybe, one day, after the queue is down Team Blu may have time to add a great menu and some great additional features could be added, and a proper cover art. At last we all have one thing in common: we have a hobby, and shall not argue about it, because we are little, compared to the DNR loving masses! :)

Info & Discussion: Fullscreen Laserdisc / DVD Preservations
Time

I really like open matte Full screen Versions.

i.e. I've seen From Dusk till Dawn and Desperado open matte on German VHS first, before seeing them widescreen.

I really would love to have the open matte Versions as DVDs, but afaik they were matted for LDs, and they were only Fullscreen on VHS.

My first DVD of Bad Taste was a bad full frame german release, which I gave away after getting a better quality Widescreen Version. Now I am trying to get that again. Same with Evil Dead. I am glad that at least the US company released Evil Dead as Full Frame Version.

I have a german languaged only DVD of an open Matted "Killing Zoe"

 

Too bad that open Matte Versions seem to die away, because I always loved the way some movies show some more informations, or some faulty of screen things like microphones...

Conan The Barbarian 1982 US Theatrical Edition & BONUS! *RELEASED*
Time

Today I got something in my Mail. :)

It is a BD. :) (I asked for it without artwork and case, to keep shipping costs and costs as down as possible. :) )

I just threw it in my PS3 after admiring the beautiful menu with nice music, I started it with the 2 channel mono sound.

 

Wow! I can't remind watching Conan, looking so beautiful (the Movie, not the guy. :) ) the warmer colors just give it the feel what I missed watching the regular retail BD.

The audio is astounding.

Now I check the 2.1 DTS-HD MA Track, and I am sure that my neighbors are now aware of me home, thanks to my Subwoofer... The sound just send me shivers down my spine. I may only have 2 speakers and a subwoofer here, but it is just damn great sound.

Thanks to Team Blu, this is an awful great work.

The Bonus Features are also very great. I love the Symphony.

Are Muslims really trying to take over, or are some people just suffering from Islamaphobia?

I hated seeing Wal-Mart in Germany and McDonald's in France. I wanted to see these cultures untouched. When in Germany, I wanted to see Germany, not Germany with some America sprinkled on top. ...

 

 

 

As long as you not want so see al German in that stupid bavarian leather trousers.

I won't say that WalMart is that far from German shopping behaviours, don't forget that we have Metro and Aldi coming from Germany. And Germany always was kind of a melting pot of cultures.

But, I think it is not a good thing that it is so difficult, to held people who exploit a social system  accountable. It is one thing if someone just cannot work, but it is another thing not even trying.

Too Many Darths on the Forum
Time

hairy_hen said:

The Darths in the movies tend to be abbreviations of words that start with letters 'I N'.  InVader, InSidious.  So--to fit with the ridiculous notion that 'Darth' was ever meant to be a title, there should really be a character called Darth Ane.

 

So a xxx Star Wars Parody would get a Darth Cest? Or Maybe a Darth Truder... What would be other "cool" Darth's with this sheme?

Darth Ception

Darth Sane

Darth Sect

Darth Convenience

Darth Surance

 

It is strange how cool it seem to be giving himself a "Bad guy's name" To bad Jedi's did not have such Name convention, so we could gather more Jedi to fight the evil Darth's...

Is it confirmed that for that release, the extended version is the Blu-Ray and not one of the included DVDs? Nevertheless, I'd be interested to see an extended edit of Evil Dead II if the AV is acceptable.

It is a collaboration between BMV-Medien and StudioCanal.

I found an older news (from 05-25-13) saying that it will be two BDs and one DVD. On BD and DVD a remastered release (the first german release was quite annoying) and on the second BD the extended, wich was only avaible as bootleg, yet, with the scenes added back onto the HD material. So the new scenes is not the same quality, as the rest of the movie.

Time

There is an announcement that Evil Dead 2 will be released September th 12th this year on BluRay in Germany by "BMV-Medien".

A so called 25th anniversary with a so called "extended cut" with a announced running time of 86:52 minutes. (About 2 1/2 minute longer than normal Version)

It is announced as a 3 Disc Set. (I assume 1 BD, with two DVDs, one containing the movie, one the extras)

Extras are stated to be:

  • commentary by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Scott Spiegel & Greg Nicotero
  • Swallowed Souls [98:13 Min.]
    The Making Of Evil Dead 2
  • Cabin Fever- A Fly on the Wall [30:22 Min.]
    Behind the Scenes
  • Road to Wadesboro [8:09]
    Set Revisited
  • The Gore The Merrier [31:51 Min.]
  • Trailer [1:29 Min.]
  • Interview with Bruce Campbell (23:43 Mins)

 

Edit:

I assume they will put SD MAterial Blown up into the Movie, and that there will be no new master. (...answered before someone need to ask this :) )

but then we'd have to get rid of the urinals, wouldn't we?  I mean would it really be appropriate for a man to stand at a urinal, do his business, while females could be walking around the bathroom?  

 

You've never been on a metal festival, haven't you?

Here at a local festival at some point the aiting line on the women's restroom is quite.. bad, while on the men's room ist is more or les short. So oftne there are women just using the men's room. And:

No one cares. Guys standing at the urinals just ignore the women, while they just ignore the guys at the urinal.

On the other hand, a guy never enter the women's restroom there. (well I would say because the waiting line is longer, but I thing men won't do it, if it would be otherwise.

Sexism isn't just a men problem.

Some femisists are just going to extreme in the other side. In a perfect non sexist world, there won't be any need of gender specificated toilet, even if I really have to say, I really enjoy the silence on a men's restroom, no talking, just.. well.. not allways such silent.

The best way would be some kind of the bathroom system:

Men, women and "I just don't care whom I am sitting next to"-toilet.

Some people just feel more easy on a gender specificated restroom.
