Que la fuerza te acompañe

A ver si esta noche puedo poner capturillas...

Revisada muy por encima, pero lo que he visto me gusta. Es posible el uso de DNR pero muy tenuemente, porque grano tiene.

El book, precioso, al estilo de sus predecesores.

Pinta bien...

Tú poniendo los dientes largos Trekcillo, venga con esas fotos! cuantas páginas??

que edicion es la que tienes??

La edición británica supongo que viene con castellano tb, como todas las de universal 100th, además que tb lo pone aquí por ejemplo:

THE STING - 100TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTOR'S SERIES (UK IMPORT) BLU-RAY - Film-Details

Yo me la voy a pillar en zavvi por 14 euros a no ser que alguien me asegure al 100 % que no viene con idioma en castellano. A mi entender la que no trae castellano es la edicón USA pero la de UK sí que trae.

Me acabo de quedar a cuadros, en ECI Alicante el digi vale 24€!!! 2 euros más del precio oficial de venta!!! esto es para colgarse!!

Por ese precio prefiero comprar una edición sin castellano y ver la película en finlandés, con subtítulos suecos.

Pues le vendo la mía!



Go british, don't trust ECI.

Entonces usted confirma que la edición británica no trae castellano?

Al contrario. Que he optado por ella (la británica). Sobre todo por que prefiero los títulos en su idioma original en la cubierta. En unos dias en casa.

MacStingo

Pero no sabes 100 % si viene con castellano o directamente te da lo mismo? Es que yo tb me quiero pillar esa, pero si no viene con castellano casi que prefiero esperar a que baje un poco el precio de la española.

Que nadie de Alicante vaya a ECI buscando la peli, que tienen 3 copias reservadas y para de contar, aunque llames por teléfono, te digan que tienen stock y te hagan echar el viaje para nada. Servicio y trato pésimo el de esta empresa de cuarta categoria.

Al menos el chaval que me ha atendido se ha disculpado por sus compañeras de la mañana que no se enteran de nada, ayer preguntando y no sabian ni lo que era el blu-ray, me dieron información del dvd.

En el ECI de Pamplona me atienden de maravilla, así que por favor no generalicemos, ya que en todos sitios cuecen habas.

No generalizo, hablo claramente del ECI de Alicante.

Al final he llamado a MM Alicante y les ha llegado esta tarde, he reservado una copia, pero claro, además del viaje que tendré que echar no sé con qué precio me encontraré, puesto que por teléfono te niegan la información. Ya sé que esto lo hacen por norma en todos los centros.

Ambas cosas. No le sé y me da lo mismo. Perooooo si leemos el final de esta review fresquita... confirma lo que sospechabamos.

"...The Quill..." 12 Jun 2012
By Mark Barry, Reckless Records, London HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
*** THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE 2012 BLU RAY 'COLLECTOR'S SERIES' BOOK PACK VERSION ***

In April 2012 Universal Studios was 100 years old - and to celebrate that movie-making centenary - they've had 13 of their most-celebrated films fully restored for BLU RAY. But it doesn't stop there. As many as 80 other titles will be given US re-launches across the year each featuring distinctive "100th Anniversary" gatefold card-wrap packaging - and in some cases a host of new features. 1973's "The Sting" is one of the thirteen singled out for full restoration (see list below) - and like the other BLU RAYS in this series so far - is very tastefully done.

UK released Monday 11 June 2012 - "The Sting Collector's Series" comes in a gorgeous limited edition 40-page 'Book Pack' (Barcode 5050582893151). The outer hardback holder has an awkward card wrapped around it which is attached at the front with a flimsy circular sticker - not the most eloquent of objects it has to be said and it contains info that isn't on the back sleeve of the book pack - so you don't want to lose it. It's hard to keep in place without damage - so I put the whole shebang in a plastic sleeve for protection. It's also worth noting that most of the AMERICAN issues are 'two-disc' sets containing the BLU RAY, the DVD and also means to obtain a Digital Copy via download. It appears that the UK issues will contain ONLY the BLU RAY in the Book Pack. However, if you want say "Out Of Africa" or "Buck Privates" (which have yet to be given UK releases) - then the US issues will do because their non-region coding will allow them play in all machines.

PICTURE QUALIUTY:
Digitally remastered and Fully Restored from Original Film Elements - Universal are reputed to have stumped-up over $300,000 for the restoration - and the results are wonderful for about to 90 to 95% of the time. The opening four minutes will worry fans because the definition is slightly hazy - but once past that - there is a steady stream of moments that are truly breathtaking throughout the duration. Filmed largely on sets on the Universal lot - the quality lighting is consistent throughout even in those difficult and darkly lit night sequences. There is (it has to be said) slight blocking and grain at some points - but mostly you're enjoying the overall sparkle of the print too much to notice.

And because it's uber clean - it accentuates so much. We finally get to see the immaculate costumes and suits of the legendary EDITH HEAD (ties, shirts, hats, overcoats). Then there's the awesome sparkle of Paul Newman's famous blue eyes and Robert Redford looking so handsome in every shot that you just want to hit him! The clarity continues right through the plot cards to the closing credits - which are so clean it could have been done yesterday. The transfer is not all perfect by any means - but at times - this is as beautiful and as filmic as I've ever seen. The audio is crisp and clear too.

FILM ITSELF:
You also forget why it received 10 Oscar nominations and won seven - including Best Picture. Everything about "The Sting" works - the charisma of the three principal leads - Paul Newman as Henry Gondorff the master of the 'big con', Robert Redford as the reckless and wild small-time hustler Johnny Hooker and Robert Shaw as the vicious and egotistical Chicago mobster Doyle Lonnegan. Then there's the fantastic ensemble cast - Charles Durning as the corrupt Lt. Snyder, Eileen Brennan as the madam Billie who runs a bordello over an amusement arcade and Harold Gould as the dapper Kid Twist who hires the crew that will bring down Lonnegan on a racetrack scam (he wants the crew to be "The Quill..." which is Grifter-speak for the best). Aiding Gondorff in this endeavour is Jack Kehoe as Eric The Kid - a small-time Grifter who wants revenge for a friend's death at the hands of the mobster Donegan, Ray Walston as J.J. Singleton who helps in the poker game scam and reads out the wire in the bogus betting parlour, John Heffernan who quits his dreary bank job in a heartbeat to join Gondorff's crew as a teller and Dana Elcar as the supposed FBI agent. You may even recognize the dulcet tones of Robert Earl Jones as Harvey the Grifter at the beginning of the movie who gets killed - his son is James Earl Jones - the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars. The other big ingredient of course is the superlative and evocative film score by Marvin Hamlisch that brilliantly reintroduced Scott Joplin's ragtime music to the world.

BOOKLET:
The 40-page booklet is pure eye candy as you can imagine. It opens with a 2-page appreciation by film-critic and historian Leonard Maltin, a pictorial actor/character "The Players" list, 2-page spreads on Newman, Redford, Shaw and George Roy Hill, reproductions of the script, Edith Head's design drawings, Advert campaigns, a piece on the composer Marvin Hamlisch and the music, Oscar nominations, telegrams of congratulations etc. Lovely to look at...

EXTRAS:
Having directed Redford and Newman in "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" - GEORGE ROY HILL was the Director of choice for "The Sting". His almost army-like style is discussed in the pleasingly long and detailed principal extra "The Art Of The Sting" which is divided into 3-parts. He was clearly admired by the actors who trusted his vision (he won the Oscar for Best Director) - it's just such a shame there's no interview with him to illuminate the proceedings. It's also clear that both Redford and Newman who mention each other in the present tense were filmed just prior to Newman's sad passing in 2008. Charles Durning and newcomer Dimitra Arliss give telling and superb recollections of the shoot (how Shaw got his limp) - and both speak highly of the three principals - and the sheer 'fun' it was making the film. They also quite rightly keep referring to David Ward's almost 'perfect' script - which he'd worked on for a whole year.

To sum up - I've loved re-watching this timeless caper movie in such top-notch quality. And it's heartening to see Universal Studios finally throw some proper money at the preservation of their movie legacy - and be proud about doing so too. I'm collecting the whole series - and live in hope that other studios respect their past in the same glorious way.

In 2013 "The Sting" will be 40 years old and has (not surprisingly) stood the test of time.
This 2012 BLU RAY is a lovely reissue of it - and for fans of this glorious Americana piece - a must buy.
