    Between your coverage and chase from avapopculture lists we will all run out of money. 😂 Glad you didn't lose the video

    I will never forget the sign at the video store I went to that they hung by all the new copies of Congo when it came out in the nineties that simply read “Wrongo” 😂

    Vinegar Syndrome does the best transfers, period. It's like owning a pristine 35mm print. I wish the major studios would put as much effort into their releases.

    I was so close to getting this, changed my mind last second. I remembered I haven't wanted to rewatch it in years finding the Blu-ray thrifting will be just fine I think.I do love the VSU sets though.

    I'll be honest, I only grabbed this one to keep my VSU collection complete. It'll be a fun re-watch for the first time since childhood but I am not expecting to view it too many times.

      Their website is down for the whole month. After big sale like Black Friday, they shut down the “vinegar syndrome” part of their site & only sell partner label movies so they can focus on shipping, it’s stupid lol

    I like the 4k. The colors do pop but also look natural at the same time. Blu ray isnt really a faithful representation of the original source. They were always pushing colors and sharpening the image in the old blu's.

    I cannot see a difference in most of the shots between the 4k and blu ray (except where there is a lot of red then it looks bad on 4k and awful on Blu) and when I look at the dvd I wonder why I buy blu rays and not dvd as I do not see anything that would make me enjoy the movie more on blu ray than dvd. I know some dvds are awful, they have really soft focus and look terrible on modern tvs but ones like this are fine. The blu ray and 4k also do something that bothers me a little, a lot of the shots have a blue tint to them and I am not sure about you but in my reality everything doesn't have a blue tint to them. Starting to question my blu ray purchases, I have the Blu Ray of this but I only watched it once when it was released and cannot remember how well it looked.
