I'm not sure which edition you're waiting for, but you might want to use HUB shipping whenever possible. I'm considering it for myself too. I'm getting tired of boxes showing up with big dents and smashed sides where I have to hold my breath when opening, not to mention those occasions where packages sit in customs for weeks (or longer). 

I had a great experience using hub for my Tenet full slip. Showed up super well packaged was kind of a life saver because I ended up having to move a few weeks ago

I really hope for another edition of Prestige cuz the quality of UHD Club's Prestige was subpar.

Oh snap shots fired! 😂

I think Warner has memento as well. Really dissapointed it didnt get a 4k transfer for its 20th anniversary. Maybe 25th lol

So it looks like Sony released the first Blu ray and it was not a good transfer. Then it got an upgrade years later by Lionsgate for the 10th anniversary addition. I'm guessing the Lionsgate transfer was used for the KimchiDVD exclusive in 2014. Someone needs to rescan those negatives baby!

Surely you mean Interstellar and theyve also done dunkirk. 3 nolan movies done. Now we just need prestige, memento, inception and the dark knight trilogy

I think TDK , Prestige and Insomnia are all possibilities because they are Warner Brothers and Manta seems to have a good relationship with them. I don't know who has distribution rights for Memento. Memento doesn't even have a 4k release. If there was a 4k transfer and release of Memento I would be SO pumped. It's never included in the Nolan box sets

Have seen 4 HDZeta interstellar go up and sell in like 2 hours.  Sheesh.  

Oh snap I'm #117 on the OC list. That's good luck for at least a year.

Now that you've all been visited by the Master Chief, you will experience increased vigilance and fortitude. 

@Fortis93 you're right. When it comes down to it, I just love da movies

Don't Forget UHD Club... Beautiful Edition... 

I'd give my baby TARS all the love it deserves 😚

@Lordosis There's room for both HDZeta and Manta Lab, both of whom come out with some fantastic releases.

 

Don't listen to these communist heathens. 😂

Someone's got to stoke the FrEe-MaRkEt fire lmao. Competition is the name of the game baby! 

All I'll say is there's a reason I bought this. It's a beauty! 

Now that I'm on the one click tho...question is, do I sell or keep? 🧐 It's a tough decision lads

Manta has always been on top but people kept sleeping on them. Drive want even a great overall release, only the box, the fullslip and the steelbook were great. But they're fullslips are always good. It also helps that they actually release stuff. 

 

I'd like to see manta do more announcements like this. announce and release beauty shots a couple weeks before preorder. Not announce, then cancel it a year later

I feel like the premium market has gone absolutely nuts this past year due to pandemic. 

Dunkirk manta full slip was my first premium. After I got that baby in my hands all I felt was quality. I was hooked! And now I'm just blasting through all the boutique options. 

I wonder how many new members MP has had over the last 1.5 years. I'm so happy there's a physical media renaissance and that there are so many different competitors with discreet styles. Big studios seem to be pushing there physical media to third party distributors while the studio focuses on streaming. I think that's really good. 

Am I correct that HDZeta often has more goodies in their releases compared to Manta? Manta seems pretty minimalist but I really like the quality of the slips and images they print 

Yo R1s1ngSon is doing heroic work for this GB lol. I already flubbed and sent deposit before getting an invoice. Not tagging because it's swamped over in the info thread 

MP mods are legends 🙏

I just wanted the SL, I screwed up and requested the OC as well.  Can someone fix?

Hope someone can help you homie. But have you read the RULES! 🤣 But yeah yo I did kind of a speed run through the GB order cuz I was pretty excited 🤫

Damn, I drifted off to sleep when this started.

 

I woke up and realised I was already on the 6th page of the GB.

 

I hope I managed to snag a copy of the One Click.

If I wasn't fast enough with the one click I'm gonna have to find a turnstile somewhere 

Just bought an HDZeta full slip on ebay a few months ago 😂 idgaf tho. First OC here we come! Very nervous, because I'm not a premium member yet, but still really excited for this gorgeous release. 

Is everyone else as surprised as I was to see this release? Getting closer to completing a Manta Nolan set 🧐

Lordosis is the position or posture many mammals use when preparing for intercourse. Specifically, it is lowered anterior, raised up posterior. An invitation, if you will, through body language. Always though it would make a good band name. 

The avatar is The Great Danton, of the 2006 Christopher Nolan film, The Prestige. It's the sequence that opens the film, The Great Danton drowning in a glass box as someone watches. It's a deliciously nightmarish piece of cinema. I love spooky avatars on niche forums. When I was a kid, 20 years ago, internet forums were like these mysterious digital caves. The anonymity, surprising content and comradery are kind of thrilling. 

Happy to be here! Happy collecting!

Is it too late for me to change to Hub shipping? I unexpectedly have to move out of my apartment 😬

I take it you've also read The Nolan Variations by Tom Shone? 

I'm almost done with it! I've also got the Secrets of Tenet book which is nice to flip through.

I got a chance to see it in IMAX 15/70mm at the Lincoln Square theater in NYC the other week. And omg it was transcendent. Saw it twice in one day. After the first showing I did some psychedelics. I was kind of tired and I was worried that the second showing wasn't going to be fun and I would just be exhausted, but I was so wrong. I always do some psychedelics for a Nolan film. He's one of the very few directors I trust to take me on a good trip.

***SPOILERS****

The final set piece just really did it for me emotionally that second viewing, when previous viewings hadn't hit me very hard (I've also got the best buy steelbook I've been watching, so I've seen the movie many times now). Neil running around this chaotic battlefield trying to save his friend just hit me so hard. My best friend is really struggling with psychological illness and I feel like that sometimes. Just trying to navigate this hopelessly chaotic environment trying desperately to save my friend. Chef's kiss. This movie is about the prison of time and the prison of our subjective experience and how love and friendship transcend that prison. I just think it's a really beautiful theme. Nolan was able to get at it in this movie without explicitly saying it, like Brand's speech in Interstellar (I love that monologue btw, which most people seem to hate it lol). 

Then I walked around Manhattan before getting on a train and I was on another planet lol. 

The 15/70mm presentation was SO fabulous. It's hard to describe. The resolution, the color, the massive visual field from the IMAX...it was really really special

Ayyy @Veum Excited for you to see it! You're gonna love it  Thank you for the welcome!

I LOVE Tenet. Jonathan Nolan told Chris that he thinks it's the apotheosis of Chis Nolan's fascination with time in filmmaking. Thrilled with this Manta release! Got a full slip and really had to restrain myself from getting the one-click. I've got the Dunkirk Manta full slip and it's gorgeous. 

Any other big time Tenet fans out there?
