Just saw this on my news feed. So sad and my heart goes out to the Coppola family.

I think there is something to be said for the "state of mind" the artist is in when he/she finishes the project. I do think there are external issues that cause the final product needing more time than what it was given (GFIII is a good example of a rushed film), but for One From The Heart I...

Me when I get the disc and start looking for "frozen sky blogs (FSBs)".

Busy week so I haven't had to watch both version all the way through, but I did watch the opening of the Reprise and Original Theatrical Cut. I recall that being the biggest difference between theatrical and blu-ray. Gotta admit, the opening of the original cut is my preferred edit. Here's my...

Hmmm, interesting. I do recall a scene where Franny is driving home and she kisses the tickets to Bora Bora, being very excited about presenting them to Hank. I dunno, it was 40 years ago, my memory is probably playing tricks on me, but it does sound like the '82 version is the original...

Would love to know if the "original" is the theatrical release or the Blu-Ray version. You will know the difference when the camera goes through the window and into the travel agency at the beginning. Franny talks to her friend about wanting to go to Bora Bora and buying the tickets for her...

You make a convincing argument. I wrote to the CF, hopefully I'll get a response. Since this is a co-sponsor program with Netflix, I think there's s slim chance it may be both. We shall see....

While it is not the Coppola version, it seems the Cinémathèque Française version will be making its debut this summer. https://thefilmstage.com/the-7-hour-version-of-abel-gances-napoleon-a-restoration-16-years-in-the-making-will-premiere-this-summer/

It's true. Watched it last night. It looks incredible!

I did test editing on both FCP and Davinci Resolve. It is WILD to be able to walk up to the screen and inspect details on a gigantic wall in front of you. I did notice that FCP's UI looked very sharp and crips, Resolve looked slightly muddy. I'm wondering if developers need to modify their...

Quite a few. :-). I’ll duck the “is it worth the money” question and just bullet-point my reaction to the technology. Technology: Headset does have weight, but it isn’t oppressive. I don’t feel fatigued after wearing it for a few hours. But I can see why it would be an issue for some. The...

Had an interesting experience today of watching LOA on the new Apple Vision Pro. Gotta admit, it looked amazing in the virtual theater where it was being shown on a HUGE screen. Felt like old times seeing it in a big theater on a big screen. The only thing missing was an eager crowd and a tub...

Nice!!

Pure conjecture here, but it may be that the goal is to not have to use your laptop at all. The sharing of the laptop screen is to allow apps that are not Vision Pro-ready to be utilized. In my thinking, the VP is about (eventually) not needing laptops and monitors, just a headset that you can...
