    I know a rep theater in northern New Jersey is having their booker contact Warner about the 70mm print.

    There are two coming up in LA that are mentioned in this thread. Presumably there will be others as Warner works with local rep theaters and film bookers to firm up dates.

    I'd love to see it either way, but 4k is probably 'safer' in most venues. As long as they don't relegate this to a Fathom Event.

    Press Release SPHE Press Release: Taxi Driver (1976) (4k UHD Combo)

    The final sequence was optically altered to avoid an X rating. As far as I remember from the special features on the Blu release, the original unaltered footage does not survive.

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    The audio issue they fixed was that the mono track wasn’t the original, it was a fold down of the 5.1 remix so it had new and incorrect sound effects (a faucet squeak in the shower scene is the example most cited). The fixed pressing has the correct original mono track, but they did not fix the...

    Very interesting, thanks. I knew that Disney used to use that process but never found an explanation for what it exactly was.

    UHD Review 2001: A Space Odyssey UHD Review

    We had Dullea and Lockwood as guests at the Lafayette in 2004 for a screening and it was a blast. Both guys were friendly to everyone and patiently did a Q&A on a Sunday night after the film, then another hour signing autographs. Standing at the back of the auditorium with the two of them as the...

    I have a lot of these and similar snipes (from Archive.org and other sources) and they are fun to use like that with a show for a group. Only issue with Plex player (and Infuse) on AppleTV is a playback gap between them or a filename display that comes up. I usually end up putting them on a...

    Strange Dots on Blu-ray & 4K Discs

    Both good questions... to which I don't have an answer. :) I've only ever noticed surface contamination like that on some (but not all) discs that were stored in an unheated garage.

    Strange Dots on Blu-ray & 4K Discs

    They shouldn't be there at all. Is it possible you have a humidity issue and the spots are indications of mildew and/or mold?

    You would connect the minidisk to that phono input and put the switch above it to "line" Or you can connect the MD player to the 3.5mm AUX input

    UHD Review The Abyss UHD Review

    Answered my own question by watching it tonight on Paramount +. The credits at the end reference the new 4K master from Park Road. I can only watch in 1080 on my projector and thought it looked good, but I haven’t seen the film in any form for over 20 years so have nothing to compare it to. It...

    Great Room - Home Theater (speech) Audio issues.

    I'm assuming you went through the test tones to set the speaker levels. If you didn't, that should be something to do. Also, after setting those levels, you can raise the center a couple of notches so that it can cut through some of the louder soundtracks. It's not ideal, but it can help.
