Oh well. If he wants to say "f*** you" to Arrow, that's fine. His blog. If he's a professional techie in these matters, he's bound to be extremely (overly?) analytical in his critique of a disk's presentation. That's fair enough, I guess. Though I can understand people getting annoyed and frustrated over bitrate corksniffing at times. Maybe Arrow could up their game in this regard? I don't know, I thought Demons looked perfectly acceptable and The Beyond looked superb, so no complaints from me. I never did see the "notorious" Tenebrae transfer though. But I can understand why someone might think that Arrow's adherence to fancy packaging and posters and comics seems to be getting the priorities wrong. I find the constant talk and emphasis over these things frustrating myself. But most (here, at least) DO prioritise these things, so I am clearly as ill equipped to comment on this as I am on the transfer quality. Everyone wants different things. I don't envy Arrow having to operate in such a picky, obsessive market. Back when VHS was about, we were just glad to get something uncut in the right aspect ratio. Now there is much more for people to obsess over. It must be hard for a small company to operate and survive in the cult films world! |

My only gripe recently were the delays, but thats because I really like the lable and hence the frustration! I do not expect anything too grand out of films that are often thirty years old or more, as long as effort has been put into getting picture and sound right I can get by.

My original comment was a bit personal towards him and I really should have worded it differently. But had he not had a pot shot at this site I wouldn't have wrote anything.

If he really does have that level of professional knowledge within the field of digital video, then that makes his 'f*ck you, Arrow' even more unnecessary. If he can't make his points in a reasoned fashion without resorting to petty name-calling, then his reviews are not worth my time.

With all the criticism about these 2 blu rays transfers I was not expecting much but was completely blown away by the picture on both films. These films looked so much better than any previous release and I genuinely didn't notice any artifacts on screen Now the audio I did have some issues with as a couple of places during each film the mono track came across as a bit muffled between the dialogue and the back ground music, but I only really noticed this in a couple of places. Overall I would consider them as good releases and as for The Beyond which was also moaned about, I found that one to be excellent overall I think some guys just get too caught up in the technical side of it instead of sitting back and enjoying the film for what it is. 26 years ago I remember watching pan and scan (and heavily cut) video tapes of these films on a 20" TV and I thought they were good then. Now 26 years later people are moaning about bit rates? How about a bit of common sense? |
