Why would I kid? What am I going to get by kidding lol?

Here are few that ended recently.

Price at ML website + shipping: $50. I believe GB price was around $56. So converting to $ (using PayPal's exchange rate) these sold between $50 - $53.

I'd be surprised if any of them went for over cost, as the lenti slip (non-PET) is the only one that's not still available directly from Manta.

Side note: I finally got around to watching the film in earnest last weekend. It's a fun little movie, but the amount of product placement was uncanny. I don't think I've ever found it so distracting in a film.

Full slip is impeccable, though. Manta's exclusive line, particularly in regard to their full slips, has become the one to beat imo--provided your appreciation of a release isn't inextricably linked to its going rate on eBay, of course. ;)

Watched this tonight, such a great movie. Might have to double check my setup though, there were some moving images that didn't look great and I'm wondering if it's my new tv or my player or the disc transfer itself. Anyway have any jumpiness like when Walter is running in front of all the big time magazine posters featuring Ben Stiller?

Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary when I watched it last weekend. I've got a 128" screen, but my projector isn't exactly cutting edge these days. Someone with an OLED or a nicer beamer would probably be a better reference, but I'll take another look this weekend. Happy to check out any particular scenes/shots you found troublesome if you post the time stamps. :thumbs:

When I noticed it was the scene from 36:30-36:50.

Double checked and didn't see any issues on my gear. Seems like a good scene for identifying judder, though. I could never get my old htpc to output 24p properly, which made long tracking shots like that one appear incredibly choppy.

If you haven't already, I'd check to make sure both your player and tv are set to output/receive at 24p. If your TV is getting a 60hz signal, the 3:2 pulldown is probably the culprit. The default motion smoothing setting (TruMotion, Auto Motion Plus, etc.) on your set could also be the source of the problem.

Here's hoping you get it sorted. :thumbs:
