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!

Me too! ❤️ 

 

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!

yeah - really only way I know to do it is to rip the disc and add the ripped file and and a subtitle file to VLC and watch on the computer which is not my ideal viewing situation.

 

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.

mine's on the way too.....

 

Looks gorgeous.   Now I need to figure out the subtitles...

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!

So, long story to say, I'm sorry you won't get your comics back @MikeH5856 my man.  Although replacing them will be fun too, you get to relive buying them again.  

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!

I got the two I wanted, which at this point in my waaaaaay too big of a record collection, is enough.   My Everybody Digs Bill Evans mono re-issue is pretty much a gem, but suffers from a little piano warble (I believe it's from 70 year old tapes stretching), but I've listened to it 4 times in the last three days.  Also, Jazz Dispensary is the only compilation series I collect.  Every year, it does not disappoint.

I couldn't help @nathan_s82 or my cousin, or another bud, that I was trying to find stuff for, but it was fun scrambling around trying to find stuff.

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

Thanks for the Support on this Mike! 

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

Yeah, that was a tough one.  My local (7th in line) didn't even get one.  Then the other two stores in town, no dice.

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.

Slim slip sets shipping from Monday with XLs to follow, I hope my updates have been welcomed with this release

 

 

Thank you everyone 

 

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

I'm sorry to hear that. As a comic collector myself, that hurts my heart seeing they get sold that way. That 80s/90s Punisher run was so good too.

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! 😂

Happy Monday All!

 

After long lines and standing in the Rain on Saturday, Record Store Day 2024 was a success this year. Thank you @BreakBeatDJ for trying to help me as well, you are such a good dude! Were you successful as well @MikeH5856? After RSD, hit up a local comic convention, and found some old 90s books, I need to fill holes in my collection.

 

Sunday was all about Volunteer work, making breakfast for over 600 people at our local church. I hope all of you have an amazing week!

 

26 Days Until Texas Frightmare Weekend

46 Days Until Fan Expo - Dallas

81 Days Until Retro Expo

187 Days Until Cowtown Comic Con

192 Days Until Halloween

220 Days Until Thanksgiving

247 Days Until Christmas

254 Days Until New Year

298 Days Until Valentine's Day!

329 Days Until St. Patrick's Day

363 Days Until Easter

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. 🤣

While my comment was in jest, it is absolutely true that the vinyl/audiophile world is toxic.  Not joking, MP, and even the steel discord, reddit, etc, are so much more fun to be a part of than the online vinyl/audiophile world.  Just brutal elitism and one-upping all the time.  The sharing and community that goes on here is virtually non-existent in that world.

Your system is great! I'm sure it sounds fantastic.  I've never stopped with vinyl since I was 15 and worked in a record store, then went on to a mini-career in DJing (duh, BreakBeatDJ), so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.  I love chatting about it audiophilia (with no judgement of course).  

 

Good luck with your RSD hunting!  My local hides what I want for me, I know . . . unfair, but I spend a lotta money there.

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.

Just so I can judge you and snob flex 😆 . . . what turntable did you get?

 

 

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!

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…

For real though, does Manta still have the Universal license?

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. 😂

Either it works great in 30 episodes or it's Peter Jackson's The Hobbit all over again. Those are the only 2 options. 😁

Just hopefully with less singing. 🤣
