I was finally able to update my online collection, so so far so good!

In essence, isn't Techniscope really just a non-anamorphic version of the Cinemascope Technicolor process? I can see how there would be a difference, but I'm with you, I've never had a problem with it.

I don't think things are 100% yet. I tried to update my online profile and it said there was an unexpected error.

This film is cinematic poetry. Can't wait for the 4k release.

Also Governor Breck from the hugely underrated Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (particularly the superior director's cut)

Film doesn't involve pixels and it can resolve much finer detail and RGB resolutions than even 4K digital. Some have argued that to fully capture the full resolution of film you would need 8K. Mind you, for many films, this is possible with 4K. I'm no expert, but that is the way I see it.

There were numerous movie references in Barbie to other films (2001, of course), but did anyone else notice the visual reference to Tati's Playtime?

All the mention of Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Woody Strode but not a single mention of the heart of this brilliant film, Jason Robards. Tsk tsk tsk. (No mention of Jack Elam as well, or the greatest performance by a fly in cinama history, but thats wnother thing)

nooooooooooo!!!

I am reminded of seeing Jaws 3D in the theaters on release way back when. It was pretty terrible, but at least some of the 3D was ok. I remember this particularly because after it was over, we ran into some other friends who were there. One of them said the whole thing was stupid, it didn't look...

Just to add a not so unrelated comment here. I am reminded of the time in the early 2000's when large numbers of people I knew couldn't see the difference between DVD and Blu-ray/HD DVD, or said that you can't tell the difference between SD and HD from a reasonable distance. These same people...
