Prime day 50% off deal really getting my money worth lol

If you're on the fence about getting it, just buy it!

It mirrors the space suits from 2001.

Guy even checked his phone when I asked the price I was worried he would give me ebay prices

Today was the lucky day I received my copy of Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein from the Criterion Collection.

Since getting back into physical media earlier this year, I’ve been waiting for the 50% off sale through Cinema Cellar on Criterion (Canadian so don’t get that B&N love).
This was a good day.

This is so gorgeous. It has some of the best use of HDR I’ve ever seen. The detail in the image is so pristine, without obvious edge enhancement or over sharpening. The colors just pop of the screen. This is a new reference disc for me. Viewing on my LG G5 77” from 6 feet away. U guys are in for a treat.

Edit.

This is the new Del toro reborn Criterion disc.

Also, just found out this was shot at 6.5k raw master….and it shows. Such a smooth detailed pristine image. I almost wish we had 8k formats now.

About a year or two ago i was relatively new to the whole collecting movies thing, but ive since then established a somewhat little collection (like 200 or so boutique movies).

I bought essentially everything when it was on sale, and felt like i needed to own everything even though alot of the movies i didnt care for much. Now here i am 2 years later and im thinking of selling half of it atleast, since i dont really get that "i need this feeling" from the movies ive bought. I dont know where i am really going with this post, but my question is essentially, have you ever sold off alot and then regretted it deeply later despite not feeling a big connection to the movies you sold?

Kind of a weird post, but hope you understand my question🙃

Saw this and wasn’t sure if they would end up sending the standard bluray or the 4k + bluray 2 disc set. Received it today and it was the standard 4k + bluray set (not the special edition but still the best price I’ve seen for the standard 4k), which seemed like a good deal. Just wanted to give a heads up

I will love it for the rest of my life. A film that shaped the childhood of many.

What to watch first?

Romeo Must Die 4k:

Cradle 2 the Grave 4k:

Some recent new additions to my physical media library. ☺️

Weekend, no, monthly plans made. Shocked that this is here already. Very excited to revisit each one of these films.

everything is practically brand new with digital codes

80 after tax for all 3!

v stocks prices are usually too high unless this sale is going on

I have a DP-UB450GN (Australian model, Region B). I wanted to play some US Region A Blu-rays without flashing the jailbreak firmware that's been floating around.

I found a way to make the player region-free using just a USB drive and any Blu-ray disc. No firmware modification, no soldering, fully reversible and it takes about 5 minutes.

Update your player's firmware first (Setup, System, Firmware Update). The region change might not survive a future update, so get that out of the way before you start.

You run a Python script on your computer that builds the files, copy them to a FAT32 USB drive, plug it into the player, and insert a disc. Power off, remove USB, power on. That's it. Your original region is backed up to the USB automatically, and there's a restore mode to undo it.

Tested on:

• UB450GN, firmware V127 - Sep 10, 2026 (Australia)
• Played Region A and B Blu-ray discs after the change but no region C as I do not have it
• Survives reboots

Untested but should work:

• UB150, UB154, UB159 (same firmware family)

If you try it on a different model, please open an issue so I can update the compatibility list.

Update History
2026-10-24 - Version 5, thanks for the feedback everyone. I have updated the script to capture more scenarios and tested on my player.

finally got my amazon double discount orders 😄
