The Thing StudioCanal 4k Bluray Collector's Edition & 4k Bluray Steelbook Unboxing and my thoughts on the 4K transfer.
• The Thing 4k Blu Ray S...
Very lovely edition. John Carpenter is most probably my all-time favourite director.
Yeah he's my favourite director of all time as well and great to get such a beautiful release of the thing. Thanks for checking it out
One of the best movies ever made awesome unboxing
I couldn't agree more with you and thanks so much for stopping by and checking it out. I really appreciate it
@@millerman9991 yes I totally agree about the scene with Mcreadys light being on so creepy
It gets me every single time when I watch it. It's a testament to how good of a director John Carpenter is
The THING is one of my all time fave films. It's brilliant and this set looks incredible. Like how the box looks like the frozen block of ice in the movie.
Hey Paul. I couldn't agree more with you and the movie still holds up so well today. Titans of cult have done a remarkable job on this release and it's probably one of my favourite releases from them. The Steelbook in particular is one of the best looking steelbooks I've ever seen. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out my friend
@@millerman9991 Cheers! John Carpenter's The THING is a horror masterpiece, great to see it get such an awesome Steelbook release.
I mentioned in the video that I owned four Steelbooks of the thing but I was wrong I actually have 5 and I'm going to have 6th very soon. It goes without saying but I love the movie
I totally agree with what you said about the scene with the cabin lights being left on. It is definitely creepy and I think it is because it makes it clear there are things happening around them that are out of their control.
Hey Frank. I absolutely agree with what you said. Ennio Morricone score really does add a lot to that scene aswell. My movie room is in the bottom of my garden and I'm just waiting for the day when I look out my window from the house and see the light on. That will be the end of my movie room 😆 🤣. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video Frank. I really appreciate it
Got this release delivered a couple of days ago and watched it straight away - it’s an amazing film that still holds its weight now as it did in 1982. The girlfriend watched it with me and she usually rolls her eyes if I want to watch any 80’s flicks but she was blown away by it, which is rare for her lol. Great release from Titans of Cult - I’m very pleased to own this 👍🏻
Hey Charlie. I have to tell you it's kind of refreshing to hear that your missus enjoyed the movie as much as yourself. I remember showing my fiance this movie for the first time and I took her a few times to watch it before she grew to love it. Now she probably loves it more than me 😆 🤣. If that's even possible. As for the release itself honestly I think it's one of Titans best releases and that Steelbook is jaw-dropping. Great to hear that you pick one up yourself Charlie. Thanks again for stopping by and checking it out my friend
Love the artwork on the steelbook Keith and I agree The Thing Is one of the best horror sci-fi films out there. Thanks for sharing.
Honestly I think this is Titans best effort so far. The outer box was fantastic but the Steelbook is something entirely different. I've never seen a Steelbook like it. Easily the greatest sci-fi horror movie ever made and it's great to get such a unique release for it. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out
This movie should be in the hall of fame of double dipping.
That is the best comment I've read today. I couldn't agree more with you my friend. The only problem is I own it over 10 times 😆 🤣
I know Brandon it's heartbreaking. I wish it was 3 releases a year 😆 🤣
That's one frosty looking boxset Keith, love the eerie opening music. The effects in this film were ground breaking. And the audio commentary on this one with John and Kurt is one of the best I've heard, I think they did it in their front room. I can't believe this movie is 40 years old and it never looks dated.
Hey Gary. You know yourself I'm showing a release of the thing so I had to try and find the most eerie music I could find to put at the start of this video. It's amazing 40 years old and I'm still blown away by how this movie looks every time I watch it. Honestly it's a testament to how good of a director John Carpenter is. It's amazing the amount of his movies that hold up so well today day. Thank you so much Gary for checking out the video my friend. Probably Titans best release I've seen to date
Yeah this is in the top 3 that Titans have brought out. In the 90's this was my nr.1 horror movie of all time, and still is in the top 10. Amazing looking edition and my will arrive next week I hope. Star Trek is again a bit of a letdown but it's the first 4k edition that I will own of the movie so it's ok. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend Keith.
Hey Sebastian. I'm like yourself definitely in my top 3 release from Titans and I think it's the best Steelbook they've done.
Honestly I think that Star Trek release looks terrible and Incredibly lazy. But like I said in the video I have to see this through and I do have it pre ordered. I think you're going to be blown away by this release when you get in your hand Sebastian. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out
The whole movie gives me the creeps lol. Brilliant film but even after seeing it so many times, the whole mood and atmosphere always gets to me. The score is incredible as you said.
There is no question about it the movie is incredibly creepy but it is that one scene that really sticks with me. Like I said in the video I love everything about this movie. The cast is fantastic. The practical effects are phenomenal and the score by ennio Morricone is one of the best out there. Perfection in my eyes
Very nice looking boxset and SteelBook.
I think it's one of Titans best releases especially when you see that Steelbook. It's great to get such a stunning release for one of my favourite movies of all time
Hi Keith,
A much better release from Titans of Cult in "The Thing" its my no.1 all time Horror movie, i"m liking the frosty looking cover on this release, the steelbook they got it right with a epic looking cover & the back is nice also i do have two editions of the movie & might be considering a third one 🤔
Great looking steelbook. It really shows when they think about it and get creative. I still need to buy and watch this in 4K. Been on the buy list for a long time. Thanks for showing us your steelbook Keith
Hey Darren. Without a shadow of a doubt this is the most creative release I've seen from Titans of cult and like you said when they put there mind to it its amazing what they can come up with. Unfortunately there thinking caps were obviously not on for their next release. Looks terrible unfortunately. As for the thing on 4K it's one of my favourite 4K transfers and definitely recommend checking it out Darren. All the best my friend
Looking pretty good, waiting for my box to arrive next week. Can't wait.
It's a beautiful looking Edition and it's probably one of the best that Titans have done. I think you're going to like it when you get it through the door
This Must be The 5th Steel Book Release For The Thing😮
I actually have 10 steelbooks of that movie. It's one of those films I don't mind owning multiple versions of
This is the coolest one they have done yet!
Yeah I thought it was there best edition by far. The Steelbook in particular I thought was stunning. Thank you for checking it out my friend
@@millerman9991 NP buddy, thanks for keeping me entertained at work
I really appreciate that my friend and thanks again for all your support
Yes! You're not the only one who found that scene creepy! Part of what makes that movie work so well is not knowing eveything that is going on. Everyone's whereabouts can't be accounted for all the time. If they were to remake that movie today it would be very different. Today they have to show everything, leave no stone unturned and that ruins movies like this And you're right the practical effects in this are the best i've seen. I am one of those people who say CGI has ruined horror movies. And its not because I don't think they can make good looking monster or ghost with today's cgi (though most of the time you can tell its fake), its just that showing nothing and leaving it up to your imagination has always been scarier than any cgi apparition they can put on screen.
Great review, keep it up!
I have to admit Chris every single thing you said in this comment is perfect. Like you said everything nowadays has to be explained and nothing is left to the imagination and it spoils movies particularly horror. How many horror movies have we seen today where there was so much unnecessary CGI used when practically it could have been done better. I know it's a lot more work when it comes to practical and it can cost a lot more but when you see the results I honestly think it's worth it. Just look at the thing prequel. Now I have to admit I did enjoy it but the overuse of CGI really did ruin the movie for me and it's a shame because I think it would have been a hell of a lot more enjoyable if they stuck to the practical side of it. But anyway thank you so much Chris again for stopping by and checking the video out. It's great to get such a beautiful release for one of my favourite horror movies of all time
@@millerman9991 I agree completely. I liked the thing prequel too but like you said, it would have been so much better if they used practical effects. Anyway thanks for another great review my friend!
No problem at all Chris and thanks again for taking the time to stop by and check it out
Thanks again. Nice intro for a change! All the boxsets look great together.
About the creepy scene, I'm going to look that one up.
The artwork is simply amazing. From the steelbook tot the slipcover. Very very very very nice.The artwork itself is worth the buy.
But if I'm honest, I never such a big fan if what Titans of Cult does with the rest in the boxsets. I never get the pins. What is that about? I don't care about pins or patches for on a piece of clothe. I'm not in a scouting group haha. Also have that feeling with the Event Horizon boxset. I'd rather want a booklet or a poster included.
Hey Robert. To be honest I only care about the outer box and the Steelbook. The patches the pins never made sense to me from the get go. When Titans first started you used to get a miniature sized Steelbook that housed your pin and that made a lot more sense to me but unfortunately they stopped doing it. I'm hoping someday they will go back to that.
For this edition honestly I think it's the best effort they've ever done. When you look at the outer box and the Steelbook in particular just amazing. Never seen a Steelbook like it and for that alone it's worth the money. Thanks again for stopping by and checking it out. Really appreciate Robert.
I've got to say that an absolutely brilliant steel book keith, Definitely one of the best ones that titans have got out!! Love the way you can see something behind the ice, But it's just but it's just a bit obscured, Amazing, and as you say the 4 k looks absolutely spectacular! Fantastic edition cheers Keith 🤩🤩👍👍
Hey John. I knew this release was going to be special the minute the pictures were revealed for this release. The outer case I thought was very clever and the Steelbook is without a shadow of a doubt the best steelbook I seen from Titans. As for the 4K transfer honestly I cannot wait to see it on my new television. I can only imagine what it looks like. Thanks for checking it out John
Hi Keith , this looks great , ordered mine form. Amazon Italy and awaiting shipping … fingers crossed ;)
Hey John. Honestly it's one of Titans best releases and I know you're going to love it when you get in your hands particularly when you see that Steelbook. Amazon Italy I find very reliable and hopefully everything will be ok. Thanks for checking it out my friend
Amazing edition Keith 😍 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks again Roy for checking it out. Really appreciate it
Nice, I have this in my collection alongside Goodfellows and The Matrix! My Poltergeist Limited Edition arrived from Amazon France yesterday well happy with it, thanks again👍🍺🍺
The Matrix is one of my personal favourites from Titans. Goodfellas is another beautiful edition as well. Great to hear that you got your poltergeist edition from Amazon France and I hope everything was ok with it. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video
@@millerman9991 arrived in perfect condition I wasn't in but got a call from the Amazon man and told him to hide it in my recycling bin and fished it out when I got home!😂
It's funny because I get him to do the exact same thing with myself. Straight into the recycling bin
Oh I never noticed the dog on the 4 of that pin when I unboxed it Keith, well spotted. I think it's easily the best looking titans release followed by maybe matrix and goonies? Great cover art and steelbook indeed and I thought when I saw it, it was the steelbook seen through the ice as some frozen flesh. A must own for thing fans.
Hey Steve. I absolutely agree with you and I would stack it up with the likes of the Matrix and Goonies. Honestly for me I think it's the best Steelbook they've done. When I first got this in my hands I thought it was the Steelbook as well and it's only when I open it I realised it was the patch. It just goes to show how good these releases can be when Titans puts a bit of imagination to it. Unfortunately their imagination is gone out the door with the next release of Star Trek.
A great looking steelbook, for an incredible movie, Keith. I agree with you, Titans got this one right. I know the scene you mentioned. John Carpenter is remarkably effective at making a simple scene very chilling.
Hey Gil. I think this is Titans best effort when it comes to the outer box and particularly the Steelbook. That scene I was talking about gets me every time I watch it and that's a good point you made about John Carpenter and the way he can make a simple scene seem so chilling and he does it so many times in that movie. Thanks again for stopping by and checking it out my friend
Still Waiting For The Expanded Scores For The Thing and The Fog😊
Got mine in the mail yesterday. Very pleased with it.
It's a beautiful release and probably one of Titans best. The Steelbook in particular I thought was stunning. Great to hear that you managed to get one Cody.
I agree with your comments about the cabin sequence. Just watched this recently and that scene is very creepy. I think the score adds to the eeriness of the scene.
I absolutely agree with what you said. Ennio Morricone score for this movie really sets the movie Up incredibly well and I think this movie wouldn't have been the same without it. Thank you so much for checking it out
What a trophy of steel book Keith. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Shannon. It really is a beautiful looking Steelbook and thank you so much for taking the time to check it out. I really appreciate it
Just got this in..so happy i held of on the studio canal edition because this release is a blinder💯
It's definitely one of my favourite editions from Titans and great to hear that you pick it up yourself Paul. Thanks for checking it out my friend
That steelbook is one of the best looking editions that I've seen for The Thing. They really need to re-work their rating labels since that's the only issue i would have with it but it is what it is and it's still incredible looking. Enjoyed the video Keith!
Hey Sean. I absolutely agree with you. I own so many steelbooks of the thing and none of them come remotely close to this one. It's amazing how great releases like this can look when you put a bit of imagination to it. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out my friend. I hope you're doing well
Fantastic set Keith and nice addition, the movie is just epic , I loved the Ps2 game back years ago , it was basic but a great homage to the movie, it’s sits along side Krull for me in the Sci Fi arena . I hope you enjoy 🇦🇺🙏🇮🇪💪🤙
I cannot believe you brought up the PlayStation 2 game of the thing. As stupid as the game was I loved every minute of it. How many fuse boxes do we have to fix in that game and those injections you found in the game they look like something the Joker came up with. I would love to play that again. Thanks for stopping by Conor and checking it out
@@millerman9991 hahahah ya ! I remember it well , it was ace ! Silent hill , Resident Evil ,Clock Tower, Fatal Frame , I have a CRT Tv connected in my games room and I often return to play them, classics . I thoroughly enjoy the videos produced here, it’s very warming to see a community who appreciate the great classics ! Movies are such a art form , I think you can relate a experience or a moment in time , place etc back to movies and that for me is what makes them timeless ! Great work 👍
I'm actually jealous that you can play a lot of them classics. I have not played Clock tower since I was a teenager and the original Resident Evil game wow I think that might have been 97 when I last played that. I must look into that
yep that scene sends shudders down me spine lol yep im waiting for this come
It's great to hear I'm not the only one who thinks so. I don't know what it is with that scene but it gives me the creeps. It's a beautiful edition from Titans and I know you're going to love it when you get it
@@millerman9991 think it's the atmosphere amd how the camera cuts to it
It probably is. One of my favourite scenes in the movie
Carpenters version of The Thing, REC, and Day of the Dead are my favorite horror movies. Great looking steelbook Keith!
I'm embarrassed to say that I have not seen REC yet. I've heard so many great things about it and I still haven't gotten around to watching it. I will definitely add it to my list and maybe now would be the best time to watch it seeming where in the month of October. Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the video my friend
Another great vid buddy. Yeah I have that Thing set too. It's great but I would have like a tiny bit more transparency in the outer box so you could see the thing inside it. Still great. Only realised watching this that the patch is a Petri dish. Duh ...ha ha
I see what you mean Michael and you're probably right. But you still can sort of make it out particularly when you have it in your hands. It was a lot hard to see it during this video. I had no idea that the patch was a petri dish until you said it now. How stupid do I feel
@@millerman9991 I only noticed it after watching your video even though I had my own one in my hand.
If you had not said it to me Michael I honestly wouldn't have noticed it. Thanks for that
Looks cool no pun intended. Waiting for mine
Why did I not say that in the video. Talk about a missed opportunity. Thank you so much David for checking it out
great looking steel book yes you can pick the dog out on the pin
Hey Mike. Thanks for letting me know my friends because when you're shooting these videos it's very hard to make out whether or not you can see it.
Can't wait for star trek titans
Honestly Gary I'm not. I think it looks terrible and probably one of their worst releases. I hope I'm wrong
Thanks Keith.
Thanks again my friend. Really appreciate it
That scene is scary. Excellent video.
I don't know what it is about that scene but it always sticks with me. The entire movie is creepy and it's great to get such a beautiful released for it. Thanks for checking it out
Hope my titans of cult steelbook will be here sat mate
It's one of Titans best releases Gary particularly that Steelbook. I think you're gonna love it
I love this Movie and as a lover of melodic, electronic Music, i love the atmospheric Synthie Soundtrack. I have this Movie in a wonderful Collection Box, available in Germany (the green Box) from Turbine Medien. And i have also a blue looking 4k + Blu ray Steelbook of this awesome Movie.
Hey Martin. I am trying my best to get that turbine edition that you do have of it and I'm hoping someday I can pick it up. The thing is one of them movies where I try to pick up as many releases as I can for it and it's a testament to how good the movie is. As a matter of fact I actually have another edition pre-ordered from filmarena. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out the video
@@millerman9991 Thank you for your Answer and your nice, friendly Worths.😀 Sorry for my bad English. :-) I wish you good Look to find the Turbine Edition and this for a good and for you akzebtable Price, go and check the Internet Webside of Turbine Medien. In Germany the great Publisher and Labels of many good Movies we have, are Anolis Entertainment (the old British Hammer Films are great in great Mediabooks, wonderful Releases 👌 ), Wicked Vision, Turbine Medien, Capelight Pictures, Nameless, Filmjuwelen / Fernsehjuwelen, Koch Media / Plaion Pictures, Camera Obscura and so many more good Labels that exist hear in Germany.
Hi Keith
I dont know if you are aware but i found on eBay the Zombie flesh eaters Arrow window edition you are missing. If you check it out you can make up your mind if you want it or not. Keep up the good work mate.
Hey Gordon. Thank you so much for the heads up on that and I'm going to make my way over now and see what it's like. Hopefully it's not too expensive. It's an edition I desperately want because I would love to finish that collection. I will let you know if I pick it up. Thanks again my friend
@@millerman9991
Good luck mate.
Thank you so much Gordon
@@millerman9991
Hi Keith , did you go for it or was it too expensive,mate.
Btw i got Dog Soldiers limited edition what a cracking set and what a perfect upgrade to 4k from 16mm film amazing thats the second edition ive got from Second Sight (Flight of the Navigator ) being another i know you always say they do good conversations and on this one i wholeheartedly agree.
Hey Gordon. I went over to have a look and there was no way I was ever spending €150 on it. Actually know that I think of it they wanted €20 delivery as well. They will never get that and I actually had chances before to get it for well less than that. But thanks again Gordon for that and if you ever do come across another one please let me know. Great to hear that you picked up the dog Soldiers release from second sight and I can't believe how incredible that movie looked on 4k. I have the Flight of the Navigator release as well and I still haven't watched it yet. Second sight really do take their time with their releases and they put a lot of work into their transfers and it's quite easy to see when you look at dog Soldiers how much work they done on this release
Congratulations on 6k subscribers Keith 🎉🎇🎉
Thank you so much Roy. I had a feeling you'd leave a message. Thanks for all your support my friend
Is it a normal thing to have trouble keeping the top of the plastic case closed on these editions?
Hey Declan. It's funny you brought that up because out of my entire Titans collection I only have one that I have trouble with when it comes to closing. Apparently it's a common thing with these releases
Yes just pre order the king Kong steelbook 1976
I'm looking forward to picking it up myself
@@millerman9991 just saw the trailer on you tube studio canal 4k trailer
Just seen the trailer myself. I reckon studio canal are going to put a lot of work into this one
Cool set.
Thank you so much for stopping by and checking it out. I really appreciate it
On order, I have the Arrow 4k set and there was some back and fourth of two 4k transfers of this, the UK looking a bit more naturally warmer and the US version (Shout Factory) looking cooler, its going to be down to preference on which one you prefer but I am just wondering which transfer this Titans is going to be, any ideas or is it unknown as yet?
Hey Ethan. Be careful my friend because arrow Video have not brought out a 4K release of this movie neither has scream factory. Both companies brought out 4K Masters on Blu-ray but that is it. Universal is the version you want which is a proper 4K release as well as this Titans of cult release. Both of them have the exact same 4K transfer.
@@millerman9991 ah yeah my mistake you're right it was for the 4k mastered blu rays. Ignore me lol
No I just wanted to give you a quick heads up just in case you do want a proper 4K release.
Great video and that is one great steelbook and box
Hey Danny. Honestly I've never seen a Steelbook like it and so great to be able to get such a deluxe release for one of my favourite movies of all time. Thanks for checking it out
There was a DVD some years back looked pretty wood came with Ice pick frost look
Hey Mark. That is the first time I've ever heard of that. Now I'm going to have to look for it 😆 🤣. Thanks for that
😂 mate honestly you talking about that scene is EXACTLY how I think when that scene comes on . The light being on in the shack just sends shivers up your spine out of any other scene lool
It's one of those scenes that is so beautifully eerie and atmospheric. Only John Carpenter could capture that the way he did. Great to hear I'm not the only one who loves that scene. Thanks so much for checking it out
The shack scene is very creepy indeed! Is this the identical to Universals 4K Transfer ?????
I don't know what it is about that scene but it just creeps me out. Yes this is the exact same transfer as the Universal release
Good video as always Keith, haven't gone for this edition as didn't think much of the images when announced but does look good in your video 👍
Hey John. Wow it was love at first sight for me. I thought it was very unique looking set particularly when you see the Steelbook you get with it. Great to hear that my video has done it some Justice for you John and I hope you consider picking it up in the future. As always John thanks again my friend. I really appreciate your support
@@millerman9991 Yes it's definitely under consideration now Keith 👍
That's great to hear John. All the best my friend
It’s a brilliant release keith glad i picked it up
Hey Simon. I know I was a little underwhelmed by the steel book but I'm still very very happy to have it in my collection and the 4K looks stunning and that's the most important thing. Thanks for checking it out my friend
Hey Simon apologies about the comment above I thought I was talking about the Fright Night Steelbook. I didn't realise this comment was coming from the thing video that I done the other day. You're probably a little confused by this comment
Nice set
Thanks for checking it out Mark
Is this the same transfer as the Universal and is it the same DTS:X sound track? Is the origins
4.0 track added? So many questions 😅
It's the exact same release that we got from Studiocanal. Absolutely no difference with it whatsoever
@@millerman9991 thanks
No problem at all my friend
@@millerman9991 So Studiocanal and Universal have the same transfer? I just ordered the Universal 4k from their website and hoping I'll receive the same quality image if not extras and packaging. Thanks.
Hey Pete. Massive apologies my friend I'm getting my Studios mixed up. It's universal I was meant to say not studiocanal. The only reason why I said studiocanal was because they done the other four John Carpenter's movies that came out and they all look identical to the universal one
So how many times has everyone bought this movie? Pretty sure I had the VHS as a kid, so about 6 times for me. Not sure if I'll dip again for this edition, but it's an undeniably handsome set.
Hey Daniel. I'm actually embarrassed to say how many times I own this movie. But what I will tell you is I mention in this video that I own this movie four times when it comes to Steelbooks but I'm wrong it was actually 5 Steelbooks I have and I have a 6th one coming. It goes without saying but I do love this movie
@@millerman9991 There's certain movies that I know I'll just keep updating as long as physical media is a thing. Like many such as yourself, this is definitely one of them for me too. Long live The Thing!
I couldn't agree more with you Daniel and like you said I will continue to build on this collection until I can't anymore.
Scream factory the fog 4k steelbook and evil dead remake 4k came today and fright night 4k steelbook on the way
I have my Fright Night Steelbook coming in a few days as well as scream 2. Can't wait to get my hands on them
Great job.
Cheers buddy.
Hmmm, I am a stickler for fancy packaging, and this is a nice looking set…… 🤔
I am the exact same and this definitely ticks All the Right boxes. Very clever how all of this was put together and the Steelbook really is beautiful. Thank you for checking it out
Great review. I have mine and yes the artwork is exceptional. What was the thing remake film like as I never watched it. Is it worth a look ?
Honestly I think that thing prequel is a very enjoyable movie and a very faithful prequel. The only thing that's holding it back is the use CGI instead of practical and it's just not the same. But I definitely recommend checking it out. Guarantee you will get some enjoyment for it. My advice is to watch the original thing particularly the scene when they go to the Norwegian base and just remember a lot of what you see in that scene.
Thankyou
@@millerman9991 Pleased to hear that you like the prequel. Some die hard Carpenter fans give it a hard time. I really liked it, and appreciated the love for the 1982 original shown by the makers of this much maligned movie
It's strange but a lot of people went into this movie instantly hating it. You can clearly see the director is a huge fan of John Carpenter's the thing and I thought he done a very respectful prequel and hopefully someday it will find an audience because I think it deserves it
Keith which version of the newly announced Pulp Fiction will you be getting, the steel book or standard version??
I had to go for the Steelbook. Cannot wait to get my hands on it and I've also pre-ordered the steelbook for Reservoir Dogs as well. That one in particular looks fantastic.
The steelbook looks very mediocre. Almost bad even. The slip is the classic with a noir touch. Slipcover is the clear winner. Did pre order the steelbook for reservoir though!
I have to admit you are absolutely right. But whatever it is with me I would rather pick up the Steelbook edition if there is 1 than the standard release. Honestly I think it's one of the most boring looking steelbooks I've ever seen especially when you compare it to the Reservoir Dogs one which is incredibly creative.
@@millerman9991 it's funny, because I'm not normally like that where I'll just pick the steel over the slipcover just because. But I was very tempted for this release just because it's my favorite movie ever. So I almost felt obligated which is weird. Amazon pre order is still up, but I really like the slip. And yes, you're absolutely right, that reservoir steel looks awesome. I can't wait
I think that's why I picked up the Steelbook as well because it is my favourite Tarantino movie and I suppose I want to get the more limited release of the two. But Yes the Steelbook is quite poor
Will you get the fun house 4k
Hey Gary. I just received it 2-days ago and I'm sure I'm going to be doing a video on it. Cannot wait to see it
And just sent for return of the living dead 4k
Hey Buddy,
I have a Oppo 203 that I plan on selling very soon. I haven't put it on Adverts just yet. It is in immaculate condition and as you may know is the holy grail in BD players.
Would you be interested?
I live in Ireland btw
Hey Jimmy. Thank you so much for thinking of me but I have to admit I'm very happy with my setup over here. I'm sure you will have no trouble selling it and best of luck with it
Hey Keith, do you remember saying to me that I should let you know if I have any more ideas for you? I've an idea......you have surpassed 5,000 subscribers on your channel and I think you should do a giveaway to mark that milestone. That's right my friend, give the Titan's of Cult The Thing set to one lucky winner (nobody else but Keith is to read this section within the brackets!! It should be a rigged giveaway where I, against all odds, win 🤣🤣🤣). That's my idea 😁
My god what a beautiful steelbook (It's going to look great on my shelf 😉) the whole set is great but the steelbook is very special.
I'm having an x-ray on my foot on Monday as it's not improving. If anything it's more painful. Anyway enjoy your box set while it's still yours but please don't scratch it 😁😁😁
When I was halfway through reading this comment Jeff I just let out a Roar and went WHAT. That would be the biggest rigged contest you would ever see. I nearly go out and buy 3 of them just so I can win all three 😆 🤣.
This has to be Titans best release. I thought the outdoor case was incredibly clever but when you see the Steelbook itself it's just jaw dropping.
I'm sorry to hear about your foot Jeff and I'm hoping everything is going to be ok. It's incredible isn't it you don't know what you done but it's leaving you in so much pain. Please let me know when you get your x-ray results back.
@@millerman9991 Of course I'll let you know my results. 3 or 4 weeks ago I accidentally left my debit card at the local shop. I phoned the shop and they definitely have it but I haven't been able to get it yet and the shop is only 150 yards away across the road!
That is incredible Jeff and I'm so curious to hear what has caused that. It must be some sort of fracture or a sprain or something like that.
@@millerman9991 There's something not right. Maybe it's the implant the aliens put in my foot 🤣😉
Those aliens can be a real pain in the ass Jeff. I should be really careful how I phrase my words 😆 🤣
I was hoping those ugly rating numbers could come off.
They are a bit of an eyesore and thankfully they do come off. I don't remember seeing them on my other Titans releases. I must check that out
Such a film. Not a huge fan of Titans of Cult though. Too much plastic; straight steelbook release would suffice for me.
I have to admit I am a fan of Titans but I probably could do without the pins and the patches and posters you get. I find the outer case can sometimes complement the Steelbook. But thank you for taking the time to check it out
Nice. I am still waiting for my copy from Amazon UK. Almost guaranteed it will be damaged.
Film Arena is doing one as well, but is one of the worst things they ever put out. Hideous art. What a shame. They usually do really nice stuff.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you my friend and I'm sure everything will be fine. I have that filmarena edition pre-order and it comes with the original artwork and I can't really ask for more than that. I'm very excited to get hold of it the only thing I wasn't crazy about was the Steelbook you get with it. I'm very surprised you don't like it
@@millerman9991 Hmmmm? Will have to look to see if they changed it?
@@millerman9991 Hmmmm? Will have to look and see if they changed it?
Nope. It is the same. The art on the slip is not original art. It is tweaked and not crazy about how they changed it. But you will get a lenticular magnet with the original art. :)
The steelbook is the World Wide Release, so we got that as a Best Buy release when it came out.
I am actually surprised you were able to get a pre-order in. Must have been a lot of people who did not want it.
The main negative about Film Arena is they give out numbers to people and you have to get EVERY release and you get that number. But the same person to get multiple numbers, just to resell, keeping other collectors from getting a number. You can sit on a waiting list while someone has 10 numbers.
I had a number for a short while but did not want 50% of the releases and had to get anyway and then sell. So dumped it. It was right before the Back to Future Maniacs box set, so missed that and will never pay aftermarket for it. Was too expensive as it was. I was able to get HDzeta's Back to the Future Box set and that is really nice.All good.
I just went over and check that again myself and you actually are right there is quite a difference. I think what happened with me is I just instantly notice the thing on filmarena and purchased without even looking at it. I've had a good look at it now and I still quite like it if I'm completely honest. It's always nice to get something a little different and chances are it probably will look a hell of a lot better once it's in your hands. Unfortunately I don't know when that's going to happen.
The fake star trek
Absolutely Megan
Fake? My god, you are so wrong. Open your mind
this movie is only very good from the monsters of rob bottin,but the movie itself its a bad movie,,transformation and flame thrower,again and againand when the monsters transformations begin the flame thrower dosent work as all we can see the monster nice and clearly then the flame thrower works again and burnnn
To be honest I think you might have missed the point of this movie. But that is your opinion and I completely respect it. Me personally I think it's one of the greatest sci-fi horror movies ever made. It's drenched in atmosphere and the cast is Fantastic and it's wonderfully directed by John Carpenter.
Beautiful item but I hate how UK stuff slaps those ugly 18s on their packaging
I need to check it up but they could be stickers. Yeah I'm not a fan of those ratings myself
