I've been invested in 4k media since 2020. I bought a fald Sony and upgraded to an lg oled in 2024. I spent more money than I was comfortable with (not that it put me in financial difficulty).

Anyway, I can go days without turning the TV on, and when I do, little interests me. I have a combination of depression, ADHD which I'm seeking a diagnosis of, and problems with doom scrolling, although I've made an intention to stop using my phone as much.

My mental health affects my hobbies in general, but it sucks that I have such a high end setup which I don't feel like I get enough use out of.

It took me over a month to finish avatar fire and ash, I still haven't completed Ben-hur, I finished project Hail Mary in two days, and I've seen about 20 minutes of super mario Galaxy so far.

Sometimes it's mentally easier to commit to TV shows, although I can get bored of them too. Concentrating in the cinema is relatively easier. I haven't been in over two years. Even then, I did catch myself checking my phone to see the time every hour or so.

All the colors really pop on the Speed Racer 4K. I want to imagine that Dick Tracy would look just as good with Dolby Vision

Oh my god. I have completely fallen back in love with movies. Especially these gorgeous 4k remasters of older films. They look like they could have been shot today, whilst keeping their distinct style of the times.

The lighting, the miniature megastructures, Rachael. I was skeptical at first but after watching a couple of films (apocalypse now, the thing), it feels like I’m watching them again for the first time with fresh eyes. Very, very happy I stumbled across this sub, otherwise 4k would have never really crossed my mind. Thank you for bringing the love of home movies back for me.

Are there any plans to re-release the original Spider-Man trilogy again? The previous releases lacked Dolby Vision and Sony have recently re-released some older blu rays with Dolby vision so was wondering if there’s any plans for Spider-Man

If any of you picked up the The Warriors steelbook from Wal-Mart - check the interior cover graphic. Mine has Zootopia on the interior.

Ive been collecting blu rays and 4ks since 2007. Rebought all the favorites on 4k that I had on blu ray, save a few. I probably have 1200 at this point.

That being said....this hobby is starting to get so expensive. Am I crazy or are sales just...lackluster these days? Nothing in my amazon basket drops to a great rate. Dont even get me started on new releases. $38 for Pleasentville!? Thats wild....thats a solid $25 movie. Not a penny more.

Its been something Ive noticed since 2026 started. Yes, there are still the B&N Criterion sale twice a year and few other ok ones but man....Im not buying as much as I used to. Ill let those things sit in my cart at this rate.

Frustrated rant over.

P.S. I know its even more expensive for Canadians, Aussies, etc. I feel for you also.

Is it worth it

I’ve got the Universal Monsters in 4k, and they’re spectacular! But I can’t find much else from the era.

It would be totally rad to see King Kong in 4k, or some of the Cecil B DeMille classics like Cleopatra or Sign of the Cross.

Why so few from that decade? Are they harder to remaster or do companies just think they’d have appeal?
