I would be too... my steelbook came in yesterday.. if it wasn't for someone that isn't getting his delivered until tomorrow

Now that Im all caught up for new shows this week, time for some creature features...

Godzilla (1954)
Split Second (1992)

Putting season 1 of The Flash in now!!! Time to hit the ground running!

Dolphins v Jets.

Never watched a full NFL game. Thought I'd give it a go!

Not sure why it's starting so late today, but since I don't care about the early NFL games...

DW Brain of Morbius
DW Robots of Death

Just back from my first time seeing The Martian. By far, the best movie I have seen this year. I am sure I will go again, when it isn't so crowded. The show was sold out.

I really enjoyed the movie, it had enough of the book to make me very happy. The added scenes worked perfectly. And I enjoyed the EFT-1 launch on a big screen. Just the right mix of humor and drama for me. And the visuals were amazing in 2D, both on Mars and space. And JSC looked really nice in the future, LOL.

I have to wonder how NASA gets all of it's money in this future.

I was a bit hesitant with the first ep, but the last two have shown real improvement with the pacing. Not as much jumping back and forth between different plot points.

The Flash "The Man Who Saved Central City" finally

Scream Queens "Haunted House"

Started anthology week...

The House That Dripped Blood (1971)

Then caught up on rest of the shows from this week

Blindspot "Eight Slim Grins"
The Muppets "Bear Left Then Bear Write"

Now for some Creepshow (1982)

Awesome flick.

Finally watched Avengers Age of Ultron (2015) last night.

Was going to get back to anthology watching, but my Battlestar Galactica Definitive blu ray set came in this morning (the classic series)... couldn't resist checking out the first disc to see how it looked.

So I watched "Saga of a Star World" and am finishing up "Lost Planet of the Gods" now.

If you haven't checked out the releases... there are two sets. Remastered, and Definitive. Remastered has the original series and 1980, in widescreen HD. The Definitive set has the original series, 1980, and the theatrical movie- all in two formats, widescreen and fullscreen HD.

From the reviews, Id have to agree in that the Definitive is the way to go. I have seen screenshots comparing the two, and the widescreen remasters all have a darker image, and a blue tint. Just doesn't look right. I'm watching the full screen version, and the picture looks great.

I think the best example is this set of comparison shots from 1980... remember the uniforms turn white when they travel through time?

Widescreen remaster:

Fullscreen remaster:

The other thing I have noticed, Im wondering if the dvd releases were edited for syndication versions.

At the beginning of Lost Planet of the Gods, there was a scene that shows Greenbean and the other pilots preparing the drinks they 'appropriated' for Apollo's bachelor party. A pair of colonial security blackshirts (Remember them?) show up because they found out about the missing food and drink and were investigating, but Colonel Tigh shows up and claims he authorized it. They go away, and Tigh tells the pilots they shouldn't have gotten caught, and to get the party going by the time Apollo and Starbuck get back from patrol.

I have no recollection of that scene in all the times I have watched the dvds. At times there have been other snippets I do not remember either. Then in the reviews they state that there is about 3 and a half hours worth of deleted scenes from the classic series.

Well, Serina's dead, so much for Kobol. Time to wait for Nu Who, then time for Trick R Treat (2007)

I actually remember that scene on the DVD set I have.

I dug out the dvd... sure enough, that scene is in there.

Guess I hadn't watched that one in a long while. I didn't think the blackshirts had shown up until way later in the series.

The other bonus about the blu rays... no more double sided discs! Those are way too easy to get scratched.

Started watching Tenchi Universe (1995)

Now to see the Cowboys get destroyed...

NFL Week 5 NE v Dallas

The Flash "Flash of Two Worlds"

Scream Queens "Pumpkin Patch"

Catch up day..
