      Yeah, it is difficult to decide, because you don't know what the studios are going to end up doing. If it is released in Germany and you wait for a U.S. release but it never comes to the U.S., then by that time it might be too late to find the German release for a good price. Conversely if you get the German release right away and it does end up coming out in the U.S., then you might have spent more money importing it when you didn't have to. It's just hard to know what decision to make.

    Crash is my most anticipated Blu Ray release for a long, long time. And the fact it's 4K, makes it even sweeter. Fingers crossed the release is amazing and other labels take note. Additionally, I don't think every film needs to be released on 4K, but a great deal of films will benefit from a UHD disc, particularly those shot on film in which a scan of the camera negative is required *cough-criterion-cough* Alot of modern films shot digitally, don't really need 4K as the picture is such good quality anyway. Just my 2 cents. Great video, your excitement was palpable aha.

    • @SamLovesMovies25

      4K discs are so worth it though, watching a good 4K transfer looks/feels absolutely luxurious! So I would recommend upgrading, even if the difference isn't AS apparent/drastic as the difference between DVD and Blu Ray. That being said, though, there are some 4K transfers that aren't as good quality (i.e. Terminator 2 unfortunately) and probably wouldn't be worth it over the Blu Ray, so just do your research and look at comparisons, reviews, screencaps, etc.

    I have to admit that I like Arrow more than I like Criterion these days - Criterion still does higher quality films in general, but Arrow makes better discs. Compare the Gamera set to anything else released in the last five years, and I don't think there is a better set out there.

    • @ElliotCoen
      @ElliotCoen  4 года назад +3

      I agree, in that Arrow have come a long way over the years! I know many people say that the Gamera set blows Criterion's Godzilla set right out of the water. And it definitely says something that they have adopted 4K releases first..

      @@ElliotCoen Criterion still have the "highbrow" cinema market covered, but Arrow is definitely lighting it up in terms of how they put a release together, especially the box sets. Even Second Sight lately are eclipsing Criterion. I have not received my Varda box set yet as it's still sitting in my Shipito warehouse in Oregon but from reviews it seems it's a tad flimsy and nothing like the quality of their massive Bergman set. There seems to be some controversy floating about also of the quality of the transfers, particular around the colour timings in some of them (though have not been able to verify this myself yet). Of course we all want definitive box sets but we don't want to be having quality skimped in any way, especially given how costly these sets are. The Gamera set is hardly "highbrow" cinema or even that well known outside Japan but look at the quality of the set - it's stunning. Both the disc content as well as the packaging is incredible. As was the Bergman box mind you. I'm not saying the Godzilla and Varda sets aren't amazing and must haves but just feels like both sets could have been just a tad more carefully handled. Let's hope the Criterion Fellini set is a return to "Bergman box" (or Zatoichi box) form. I know it sounds like im being really picky about Criterion and these great sets but Criterion themselves set the benchmark high and now other boutique labels are reaching them and even surpassing them in some instances - but I guess with the bar being so high now in the boutique physical media industry (look at what Blue Underground is doing with 4k for example) it can only be good news for the obsessed collector/film fans like ourselves!

    Heard a rumour that sainsburys will stop stocking physical media in the UK soon, think physical media will become niche over the next year, with streaming becoming more mainstream partly due to the lockdowns, I can see major studios adopting the streaming route and leasing out rights for films to smaller companies such as Arrow think we will get much more in the way of limited releases and possibly price increases as there won't be such big print runs but hopefully enough releases to keep these smaller companies going there is a market for this just much smaller than we have seen upto now!

    • @ShanghaiRooster

      This has now sadly come to pass. Whether it's the terrible news you might think or just meh! really depends. Sainsburys were hardly the kind of place you'd find the discs put out by Arrow, Criterion, BFI, Indicator, 88 etc. More likely the people who'd buy blu-rays at a supermarket are (for the most part) the kind who'd maybe pick up a couple of discs a year maximum.

  • @nerdommeetsboy
    @nerdommeetsboy 4 года назад

    Preordered Crash because of the stock issues and don't want to miss it - I've been needing this since Turbine announced the 4K restoration in 2018. (The French 4K seems to be barebones - unless they're yet to announce something.) Most of the extras were made by Calum Waddell for Turbine's release, but Arrow adds the commentary, video essay and booklet.
    I adore Cronenberg (he actually appeared in my dream last night - I had to babysit for him!) I've seen most of his films - including his half hour TV shorts that only seem to be available on RUclips (and maybe a Japanese DVD?) I'm looking forward to Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor - unfortunately it's being released over here by Signature Entertainment, so I doubt it will get any special treatment - and the US will get a longer cut on VOD. There's actually a new David Cronenberg film this year - he stars in the Canadian horror film Disappearance at Clifton Hill! But, some Cronenberg needs upgrading - Naked Lunch has only been released on a barebones Blu-ray in the UK, Fast Company only on Blu-ray in the US, Dead Ringers no domestic Blu-ray, and M. Butterfly and Spider only on DVD. Even A Dangerous Method is OOP in the UK!
    I just picked up the DVD of King of New York for some exclusive extras, but rather foolish because those extras aren't worth anyone's time and the 4K will be much better. I've actually only seen it as a RUclips rip! Just wish Bicycle Thieves would be 4K UHD.
    I already have Flash Gordon being posted to me, and I think I'll be getting a 4K player ready for November or so - especially with Dawn of the Dead. For some titles the Blu-ray is enough, but many 4Ks are newer restorations than the Blu-ray, or aren't combo packs with a Blu-ray so you need the newer player. I expect the difference is probably people adopting 4K for the new generation of game consoles - PS2 is tied to the growth of DVD as well.

    Yesterday I watched the DVD released of Hitcock's The Birds, and was surprised to find that the quality didn't bother me much - sure a nicer restoration on Blu-ray or 4K would clean up the image somewhat, but it was very watchable.

If there's a chance of getting an Arrow release I'll cancel my order. :). Oh by the way, Crash looks great on the 4k release, and the new blu-ray also looks good.

    Don't get me started on the arrow postcards. I found the A Fist Full Of Fingers card, Edgar Wright's early ametur feature. It's been more than teased for years now, and it was supposed to be released a couple years ago, loads of hints and teases in the run up, then all of a sudden, nothing. Not a shred of info since lol

    Great defence of not yet seeing Crash, personally I'm old enough to have bought the DVD when it came out 🤣 pre ordered both of these 4Ks I have Pitch Black it looks good but not as good as other titles I have. Have you got the Blue Underground titles? They're essential, although maybe Arrow will get around to them 🤔

    Surely the king of New York release will be the same transfer and 4k restoration that was but on blu ray but obviously the full uncompressed file. Still the same restoration from before though surely? Personally loved the original arrow transfer. I highly doubt they will go to the original and restore again when they have the 4k file already.

    • @ElliotCoen
      @ElliotCoen  4 года назад +1

      The old Blu-ray was from an old HD master. This is a brand new restoration of the film in 4K for the first time, so it should look brilliant!

    • @IamHedgehog
      @IamHedgehog 4 года назад

      Thanks for the clarification 👍 thought it was a 4k master down scaled to 1080 like most arrow releases. Haven't watched my arrow steelbook of it for a few years so my memory of it must be wrong. Be great to see how the new transfer turns out.

    Still a tad on the fence about these purely because I think Arrows artwork is awful. They have a couple of good artists they commission but I honestly find 85% look mediocre to painfully bad. And considering Crash is a UK only release there’s a chance someone else in the US will release it in an equal package - hopefully with better art
