On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Wish they were putting out Hero in 4K instead of another Blu-ray release. No doubt the transfer will be better for this one, but not sure it's worth a same-format double dip.

Oh wait, they're releasing the director's cut with it, which includes an extra 8 minutes. That might make it worth it...

Yeah, I am on the fence with this. I am loath to double-dip too but, at this point, if a boutique Blu-ray releaser is scanning the negative and only releasing it in HD, can we assume that's the best possible picture?

I saw their previous releases, which were more interesting to me as a whole than this set, so I ended up picking it up with those since shipping is so costly.

  • Hero (2002)
  • The Sea Is Watching (2002), Akira Kurosawa's final film, and the first time on Blu-ray
  • Lost in the Stars (2023), Chinese murder mystery described by some as "Hitchcockian"; it was a blockbuster in China
