What's Your Last DVD/Blu-Ray purchase?...

[Gazjam]

StarTrek Discovery Season One Blue Ray.

Hopefully its got some redeeming qualities and not as bad as others say, or I think it might be.

Its different Neil, stick with it and you’ll be rewarded.
Setting it’s scene and laying out its premise can initially seem off putting if you view it in terms of the 80’s/90’s Trek mindset...its not episodic like those shows..but the payoff is that it gets to the fundamentals of what makes Trek “Trek” in a bold new way which, imo (unfortunately), put off some ‘stuck in their ways’ fans.
A lot of the bad press came from this.

I’d ask, what’s more “Trek” in concept than growing and developing?
Just not in a JJ Abrahm’s Way...

History will judge it well, judged as an entire series it’s Terrific and absolutely canon.
The last 2 minutes of the final episode is, well, a TOS fans wet dream.
And Season 2 continues this.

Just like Breaking Bad, I envy anyone seeing it for the first time.

3 disk Steelbook 4K remaster of one of my favourite Carpenter classics.

And another...this one’s Bad to the Bone:


Not got Prince of Darkness yet, one of my favourites and trying to track down a Zavvi 4 disc Steelbook copy, but the films terrific in whatever format it’s watched in.

Good stuff, Gaz. Two of my favourite films

I do like to watch some new stuff too, though....

A Quiet Place is tremendous Marco, saw it in the Cinema and one of those films that you can look back on and say you are glad you did.
Great atmosphere, you’ll love it on your AV setup.

No mulled wine here at Gaz towers (yet), but a good shout and will get some in!

Interesting - I found 'The Fog' to be not the least bit frightening, in fact I thought it a load of rubbish, whereas I loved 'Christine': far more subtle and creepier.

I have never found any movie scary.

The first watching of the original 'Jaws' had couple of unanticipated moments, and 'Alien' had very good suspense. The creepiest film I can think of is Roman Polanski's 'Repulsion'. Carpenter's 'The Thing' was cleverly nasty too.

Geoff,

Look at George C Scott in “The Changeling”...

Scarier film than any of the Exorcist films (The third - and best one - to me ironically starring that same George C Scott) was this, up there with Bob Wise’s The Haunting.

‘Do you have time for a Story?’ (John Houseman on the beach...at night...reading to children...under candlelight)
‘Six must die”... the guilt ridden Priest coming to terms with own demise (later in the film)

Barry...watch it again, if we still disagree that’s ok, happy you watched one of my favourites again!

Yups... I missed it when it was in the cinema, so it was a no brainer to get it on a 4K Blu-ray!

Wot - ya wants a recco on some mulled wine?

No wonder, having got used to looking at THAT face in the mirror every morning... Nothing would scare you after that!
