Great pics, @Paul13! I poked around on my Sony and it doesn't seem like I can add external subtitles (or if there is way, it's beyond me currently). But I popped in the disc anyway and sampled a couple chapters. Goodness, this is a beautiful disc! It looks and sounds wonderful!

My pleasure!

I'm super-impressed with how much speedier Amazon Japan is compared to Amazon US with Prime shipping! My god, how do we get this kind of service Stateside?!

Got mine yesterday and it looks phenomenal, packaging-wise at least. Haven't had a chance to put on the disc yet, but it's definitely one for the display shelf!

Haha, yeah, not mine either. This ain’t happening! 🤣

I have no idea if this would work with my Sony… I’ve also never even looked at the subtitle menu, if there is one; only ever used what’s on the disc already. Guess I might need to do some exploring.

Yeah… I have absolutely no idea how to add subtitles to this thing and the little bit I’ve looked into it tells me it’s way beyond my skill set, on top of requiring things I don’t have. So I’m just hoping a US release won’t be too far behind! 😂

Photos of the digipack and steelbook are trickling in on reddit and it looks absolutely gorgeous! I got my tracking number overnight and it looks like my copy will arrive on Friday. I'm excited to give this a watch, even if there's no English subs and I won't understand a single piece of dialogue. I just wanna see some Godzilla action cranked up on my home system. 🤣

Nice! Looks like there's some awesome texture on there. Hopefully they get the OC boxes fixed soon... I'm waiting on my one-click!

I appreciate that. It just won't be the same, you know? Especially if I end up having to go the digital route with these big collected volumes... However, we have a comic convention coming to town next month, so I may see if I can swing that and check out the vendors. It'll be my first-ever comic con if so! lol And lucky you rediscovering your stamps collection! That's fantastic!

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you got what you wanted and had fun.

My pleasure! I'm excited to see your next project, too. Keep the updates coming!

Bummer! How did you make out with your other albums? @nathan_s82 I was delinquent and didn't ask you how you did with RSD either! Sorry, man... I'm juggling too many plates right now.

They have ABSOLUTELY been welcome, Dan! This is fantastic news. I'm excited to get my XL edition. This is gonna be amazing!

Yeah, I loved those comics back in the day. Especially Jim Lee on Punisher War Journal and the crossovers with Wolverine. Then Chuck Dixon's big 6-part opener for Punisher War Zone. I was thinking of tracking down the Epic Collections, but it looks like even most of those are now out of print... man, it's frustrating. But at least the Kindle editions are still available and half the price of the paperbacks, so I might spring for those. And I'll have both of Ennis's MAX omnibus books soon (got volume two recently, and am waiting on the reprint for volume one). I'll just have to be happy with what I do have.

Well, if anybody was still doubting Marvel’s commitment to going for an R rating, this trailer (and the previous teaser, honestly) should dispel that nonsense! 😂

NOPE! LOL Not successful at all... I was only able to get to the store about 30 minutes before they handed out their stock lists to mark what we wanted, so I was at the tail end of the line, which wrapped around the block. There must have been a few hundred people ahead of me. The Garbage album was the only thing I wanted, but it sounded like they only got a couple of them... Oh well. Hopefully it'll get an iTunes release soon. There's no way I'll be able to miss that one! 🤣 Congrats on the comics haul, man! Funny story (not really) -- my parents were hoarders and I had a long box of comics still in their basement that I'd been searching for after dad passed away back in September (mom predeceased him about 9 years ago). But it was so freaking cluttered, I was never able to locate it. We had the estate sale last week and guess what the sellers found?! I didn't even know about it until I saw photos online of all that they were selling and I was so freaking bummed/ticked off to see all my childhood classics up for grabs. All the issues sold, which I guess is good news (more for the estate sellers pockets than mine, of course... 😡), but man, seeing all the pictures of The Punisher comics I had worked so hard on putting together entire runs of as a teenager freaking hurt. So now I'm on the search to find a complete run of The Punisher Final Days event because I really want to revisit that now. 🤣

Yeah, I’ve seen a fair amount of toxicity elsewhere. I always crack me up when the pros (self-ascribed and otherwise) get bent out of shape over a new 4K that looks beautiful while in motion but may look less than stellar when paused and go into the bit rates and nitpicking and and and. And I’m like, well, who the hell watches these movies just one frame at a time? 😂 I know there’s all kinds of technical whatsits to be explored, but that’s not where I’m at. That said, even I could tell Terminator 2 looked pretty janky. 😂 And likewise with my new little vinyl hobby. Yeah, I’m not a pro, and I’ve seen redditors ragging on others with my system because it’s entry-level, but… that’s where I’m at. I don’t need anything more than this little mainstream doohickey for the masses. It sounds good to me, and I’m having fun with it, and it didn’t cost me thousands of dollars and require a new room to be built. 😂 As for RSD, I’m keeping my fingers crossed! My local shop is supposed to put their list up tonight for what to expect. Worst case scenario, I just have to wait a bit for the iTunes release of the new Garbage EP. That’s not a bad first world problem to have. And thanks, man, I appreciate it. If any questions occur to me, I will certainly hit you up! Happy shopping tomorrow! I hope we get to see your haul.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60X. Snob away and judge me! (But to my ears, and as a vinyl no-nothing newbie, it works pretty well hooked up to my receiver and was decently priced.)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'm able to grab a copy of the new Garbage EP tomorrow, too. I've only just gotten a record player, so this will be my first RSD. I'm excited!

Okie dokie! 👍 (god, I hope it’s not a long wait for the next season…)

Bummer. I was really looking forward to The Movie Critic and dug the premise. But I also wish Quentin wasn’t calling it quits after his tenth flick…

Seriously. It seems like they only have WB now. Otherwise, I just don’t understand why it seems like they’re doing everything in their power to not announce Oppenheimer after teasing it last year. And what happened with their discless CP line? Feels like an age since they announced anything for that, too. I wonder what’s going on over there.

Thanks, man. Hopefully they release some details on what the Amazon exclusive actually is, but right now it’s about $10 bucks cheaper than the standard 4K release, so I’m happy to lock that price in. If JW4 was any indication, Amazon’s edition is only going to get more expensive. 😂

Just hopefully with less singing. 🤣
