This is why you never use DNR (digital noise reduction) excessively on anything. A case in point is the 2011 Blu-ray of PREDATOR (on the left) in comparison to the 2018 4K UHD Blu-ray (on the right). The Blu-ray looks like wax for Arnold's skin in comparison to the gritty 4K.
Alright. Here’s the first physical media contest of the day. One brand new copy of ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE on 4K UHD Blu-ray is up for grabs for US residents without a PO Box address. To enter, BE FOLLOWING, click like and RT (retweet). I’ll DM the winner 24 hours from now.
KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR is one of the most wanted 4K UHD Blu-ray releases. This is both volumes (films) cut together as one epic. Tarantino loves this film and might consider some involvement with a 4K as it’s about to be celebrating its conclusion’s 20th anniversary.
Hey,
@Walmart
. You’ve been given a great responsibility and opportunity with the 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray SteelBook torch that Best Buy was ready to let burn out. You also are now one of the only places we can purchase

in stores. Yet, you don’t have a single new
Umm, I think Warner strongly underestimated the demand for this release. It’s time maybe they realize how large the fan base for
@ZackSnyder
is. Maybe they should treat us better and the man himself, most importantly. They’ll know after today. Trust me.
Amazon actually has sold out of THE HOLDOVERS on Blu-ray. Proof that the film is great and that once again the retailers and studio have underestimated the demand. This should only help the release get an eventual 4K physical release.

Let’s hope this Black & White version comes to 4K UHD Blu-ray. In fact, let’s hope the color version and the minus color version get separate 4K BD-100 discs.

I’m glad I’ve held onto all of these 20th Century Fox Studio Classics Blu-ray Disc releases of older films. Most all of these are now OOP (out of print) and downright impossible to find. It’s a shame that

In honor of the fact I could get them and the site’s main twitter account approaching the 6K followers mark, I’m going to be giving away THREE copies of ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE on 4K UHD Blu-ray later this month. Stay tuned for details on how to enter. * U.S. residents only.

Do you? Declare it yourself with the hashtag and make a point, given that many titles digitally are going to be removed from a certain marketplace soon…
That’s why you own your movies and TV shows physically and keep them on shelves.
This is why Christopher Nolan is trending. Those are some extremely amazing compliments about
@ZackSnyder
. And to come from an extraordinary filmmaker like Nolan, that’s just incredible.
Christopher Nolan says “there’s no superhero sci-fi film coming out these days where I don’t see some influence of Zack Snyder.”
“When you watch a Zack Snyder film, you see and feel his love for the potential of cinema.”

Re-watching it I can’t help but thinking that BLADE RUNNER on 4K UHD Blu-ray is one of the most incredible releases on the format. And the same goes for the sequel, BLADE RUNNER 2049. Not only do they both look incredible but they also sound amazing in Dolby Atmos.

Regarding the Dolby Atmos on 300 4K UHD Blu-ray: holy shit!! First off, the height channels get used from the opening & they don’t ever back down. 2nd, the original TrueHD on the 2007 Blu-ray had slight dialogue distortion & it is entirely fixed! THIS IS Atmos demo material!!!

What say you,
@ZackSnyder
fans, should DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) remake get a 4K release from Universal? I think it’s a great horror film and proves to be one of the good remakes out there, like Savini’s 1990 remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Another title that should come to 4K.
When you see Best Buy with now empty shelves where Blu-ray and DVD once sat or they've totally removed their shelves entirely, you probably should start thinking about shopping elsewhere. I wouldn't support a company that makes a decision as stupid as abandoning
#PhysicalMedia
.
I call this proof
#PhysicalMedia
is alive and well. Consumers purchasing this much is always a good thing. Too bad you have to search everywhere to find these titles. It would be absurd to imagine buying these in a store, even if you wanted to. So, online retailers are thriving.
Okay so here’s the deal. Japan doesn’t allow English subtitles on their 4K UHD Blu-ray releases, so I’ve been told. Well, after the Academy Awards the other night, it’s become obvious that we need GODZILLA MINUS ONE and THE BOY AND THE HERON on the format stateside somehow.

Look, if you’re surprised that Best Buy has removed their shelves for

There was no cut-off point to stop buying [collecting]
#PhysicalMedia
be it Blu-ray, DVD, LaserDisc, or VHS. People still collect it and are going to, no matter what someone says on a YouTube video or such. That's just silly and it hurts the community by sending out a dumb idea.
I’d like that BATMAN (1989) 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook a lot more if they had used this art. I got this Blu-ray at Best Buy back in the day. Still hold onto it because it uses that iconic poster artwork and color scheme.
