Been on a Waitlist for these beauties for a few weeks now. Artist PhaseRunner has made prequel trilogy limited edition art print posters featuring the iconic duels within their respective films and finally got the preorder in today.

All of those 3 fights are absolutely amazing, but my favorite duel will always be Vader vs Luke in Return of the Jedi

My favourite lightsaber fight is Obi-Van vs Vader in ep.3 followed by Rey, Kylo vs. Snoke’s Praetorian guards.
Also awesome posters.

I like Count Duku vs Yoda best bc Yoda really moves and then when it’s over he goes back to walking like an 850 year old man.

I just made a more expensive impuls purchase. I knew I wanted to upgrade to a OLED panel down the road, but not today. The sale convinced me and the overall very positive reviews.
I bought a new monitor, the GIGABYTE AORUS FO27Q2.
I stayed in the 2560x1440p resolution, instead of going for 4K. It’s an OLED panel with 240hz and 0,03 ms (gtg). I’m very excited to see the difference from a stanard TN panel to a OLED panel.

I bought three CCTV to monitor my baby and her baby sitter as I and my wife are going to work. The baby sitter is good, but due to human nature every parents are always indulged in their baby’s attention and care.
There were two recording option with cloud storage or memory card option. I installed the microSD cards of 64 GBs each, hope it will suffice.
To better place the focus, I made these wall mount crafts to align the angle and direction.
Hope my baby does not become Agent 47 and remain undetected from these cctvs 
The CCTV has motion tracking 360 x 114 degree rotations, night visions, 2 way audio calls and some AI motion detections which can be monitored on mobile app remotely over wifi internet. Hope I made good investments on these.

Bought Terminator 2 in 4k, sold my old blu-ray version.
Later I learned that there doesn’t exist a 4k version of the extended cut. It’s a 4K transfer of the theatrical cut. However it comes with a Blu-ray that contains both version…I gained very little, other then a higher resolution.
It baffels me that, they would remaster the film again in 2017 in 1080p + 4K and not include the extended version on the 4K disc. It was already remaster in 1080p in 2009. It’s a niche market and those of us who buys physical media are collectors. If I knew this, I might have skipped it and just keep my 2009 version.

Word from the wise. When it comes to alternative cuts and 4K transfers. Chances are if they’re coming directly from the studios home videos release they will prioritize only one 4K Transfer.
I still buy movies and tv shows physically, literally just bought Seinfeld in 4K. But my general recommendation if you want that bang for your buck Shout Factory, Arrow Video, Kino, and Criterion are the good less niche options. If you’re looking for more niche things Vinegar Syndrome and Terror Vision exist, except the downside with both especially Terror Vision is they make releases for the fans/collectors and not the general consumer meaning there releases can range from only 100 available to 2500 available.
All and all though the biggest issue is just waiting for an appropriate transfer of your favorite movies to release. That alone takes a lot of time.

This is the first time I ran into this issue with 4K transfers. My collection isn’t small, still the majority of my films are still standard Blu-Ray.
Example another James Cameron 4K transfer, Aliens comes with both the extended cut and Theatrical.
I’m just disappointed that they didn’t go the extra mile.

I don’t know if you have already shared it but would you mind showing it off? I’d like to see. I’m starting to build up a little physical collection myself. I have about 8 movies so far

Sure, I’ll do that in the collection thread and I’ll tag you. That said it isn’t as big as it once was, it was considerably larger when I only owned dvd’s. I have no dvd’s left. My girlfriend have a few.

Lovely colorway. Tiffany-esque.
I’m guessing the minute and hour hands spring back to the top 12 after one rotation of the semi circle?

Yes! I have wanted one like this for a long time. Sadly the only double retrograde I could find was a Stauer and it was quartz. Xeric is making this one around a Miyota automatic movement from Japan. They don’t have the history or build quality of the old Swiss houses, but Miyota makes a fine movement and the other Xeric auto I have is a wonderful watch so I’m very excited about this one.

Yeah I looked into Xeric after posting. The gold-black and silver-gold versions also look really nice.
Probably a little too unconventional for me as I prefer a traditional 3 hander, but definitely a striking looking watch and a conversation starter. You’re gonna get a lot of people coming up to you and asking about it.

A generic precision screwdriver set because fuck me, you start working on a computer only to realize halfway though that the tools you need were misplaced by your dad.
