Passe ça à Kevin, passe ça à Kevin, passe ça à Kevin ... Kevin est pas là, Kevin est pas là, Kevin est pas là ..... KEVIN!!!!!
Will upgrade from the BD I bought last year. I hate all of the logos and stuff they throw on these boxes though. :P
If you missed it, Lego will also produce a huge set based on the McCallister house, after a successful Ideas campaign. It was announced only recently and these things normally take time, but you'd think they'd want to target the anniversary.

I begin to receive Christmas catalogues, letters and emails in September these days so, this early release date comes as no surprise to me ... 🎄

Why did nobody tell me about this?????
Who am I kidding, its going to be expensive
Every year my wife buys me a Christmas set for a Christmas village display. She might frown on this one...
Having watched this film recently this year, I was actually surprised by how well-done the cinematography was. I was expecting a flat, shot for TV look reminiscent of that period, but the lighting is actually quite dynamic.

Oh really? Interesting. From more of the Vault side of things I guess. Gives me a bit of hope for stuff like Die Hard sequels or Alien sequels. It's a faint hope at least.

Yes. Other digital movie storefronts like Vudu also have a 4K version.
One would assume it's a new or relatively recent 4K film scan. Most movies that get upscaled are new films that get finished as a 2K Digital Intermediate and then get upscaled to 4K for the Ultra HD release.
Really loving 4k UHD right now, with loads of great catalogue titles being released or upcoming.
Jaws, The Blues Brothers, The Goonies, Top Gun, Home Alone, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Flash Gordon, Pitch Black, Hitchcock Collection, 300 and District 9.
Plus talk of Back to the Future, Indiana Jones and Lord of The Rings Trilogy.

And it's cool because older stuff on film and modern scanning techniques make that stuff look fantastic on the format.
Yeah most things shot on 35mm, good quality film stock can really shine in 4k, providing they don't DNR it to death of course.
Yeah Disney needs to get their act together with these physical releases. The red band on the bottom of all of their titles is terrible.
Amen! It's been a killer year for 4K. Also l Dawn of the Dead later in the year and Zombie just out.
That scene in the church with the Southbend Shovel Slayer is gonna look dynamite. I remember that scene being legitimately beautifully lit.
Is the 90s remake of Miracle on 34th Street in 4k by chance?

Of course. And it being Disney I'm a bit cautious to pre order this or anything right now. Give me that grain.
Fun Fact: as Angels With Filthy Souls appears in Detective Pikachu, we can only assume that both it and Home Alone take place in the same universe.
Well buy this one to support and show interest in them doing 2.
Funny that apparently the Terminator franchise works the opposite way. Keep buying the (flawed) 4K Blu of T2 so we can hopefully get (a flawed) The Terminator one day.
T2 is one of my favs. Why did you have to break my heart again.
Oooh, now is the perfect time to ask then!!
What's the best version of T1 and T2 to get on Blue ray? I thought the 4K version of T2 looks good but how is the quality?
There's not really a definitive home release of T2 unfortunately. I personally like the T2 Blu-Ray from 2015. But it's pretty shitty tbh.
edit: at least you're getting that absolutely badass DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack on either the blu or the 4K.

Not sure about the answer to that one. The truth is, I personally don't mind DNR at all (although I do appreciate film grain), and I found T2 to look amazing. A few friends I've shown it to have thought it looks really great as well.
