Can I keep the extras ???  In my humble opo, extras is what sets a Blu ray apart...good restoration and sound quality should be there too ...!!

I haven't been following this restoration jazz on Dracula.
Are there marked differences between the BFI and Hammer versions?

I hate extras. I never, or rarely, watch them, no interest I'm afraid.
Sometimes, maybe once a year if I can't sleep but my eyes are tired I listen to audio commentary for a film I know very well, but really I just think is all shit.

Especially the wanky making of featurettes for newer films, blarrgghhh

Okay, then you wouldn't be interested in this behind the scenes edition of ASTRO ZOMBIES I'm working on with Teddy Mikels, eh?
Lotsa extras, y'know...

Oooo... it's on blu ray?  Is it region free?

For anyone who is interested, Oppo blu-ray players are some of the best on the market with customer service that is second to none.   Mine started having some issues a few months back where it would not eject correctly.  I sent it in for service, and they had it back to me fixed and cleaned with upgraded firmware free of charge to include return shipping w/in 3 days of me sending it!  

Anyway, to get to the actual point, there is a component you can get and easily install (even for the technically inept) that will make them zone free or zone specific for blu-ray or DVD with a couple of buttons on the remote.  There are other zone free blu players out there, but their reliability can be suspect.

I'm in two minds weather to buy another Blu player, to cover the region A stuff, but I keep thinking 4K must just be around the corner. Anyone any ideas when this will be a sensibly priced option..?

Interesting. I am just the opo! I bought the Blu Ray Criterion Edition, the John Ford's Stagecoach  just to be able to enjoy the extras. Ah, that wonderful BBC interview with John Ford in his ever so weird mood. John Ford interview? You kidding? Boy did i enjoy watching that...I bought the DVD version too just  to make sure I was able to watch it on my player.



Long live John Ford....

Well with the sad news about Ray Harryhausen, I'm off to bed early to watch a couple of Black and White's.
Most likely Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, and It came from beneath the sea...
