Has anyone confirmed this? I’ve only got my HD DVD of this and while it’s fine with my present gear, WB HD DVDs have a high failure rate on my shelf. I grabbed Unforgiven in UHD to get the new BD transfer (was another WB HD DVD on my shelf) and would do the same here if this is confirmed.
I chose "have not decided" but I suspect 4K will be it though I'm not there yet. Hell, I still have an SD CRT in the living room. :eek:
I have an Epson 5030ub projector in the "cave" and have been (surprisingly, as I don't often enjoy it at the cinema) watching a fair amount of 3D releases. As...
This was a blind buy as part of a Twilight sale and had been sitting on my shelf for a while. Finally cracked it open last night. An interesting example of early 70s cinema, reflecting the cynicism of the period rather well. I'm a big fan of the three lead actors and enjoyed watching them...
While I've not had much time lately for recreational listening (i.e. listening to entire albums without doing anything else), when I did have time, this was a frequent choice on my DVD-A pile (bought it when it came out).
And quite rightly so. Dunning’s work represented a methodological advance over earlier texts on Reconstruction, but it is woefully outdated in a number of ways. Both Foner, and Kenneth Stampp before him, transformed our understanding of Reconstruction and gave us a much more nuanced, complex and...
I teach Native American History and Cultures and the final assignment is an analysis of cinematic portrayals of indigenous peoples in North America. The students pick from a list of films spanning nearly a century of production and the gamut of historical topics. This film will make a fine...
True. Saw it the same way.
Also true, for at least a decade. Probably longer (save perhaps for those who have room to accommodate extremely large screens—an 8k version may well work for those few).
I’m not 4K capable at the moment (won’t be for a while as I just replaced my projector last...
I give them away to family and friends. If they are work related titles (I frequently screen excerpts or, on occasion, whole films in class), I keep the DVD as our gear is not BD friendly. On rare occasions, I keep a DVD if it has interesting extras not on the BD release.
Not yet on the UHD bandwagon (my displays all work well and I don't usually upgrade displays unless something breaks -- still have two SD CRTs in regular use in living room and kids' playroom :eek: ). However, since my last post 9 years ago, my list of players has grown considerably:
Sony...
Excellent explanation of how the extended cut A) works better and B) was clearly the cut Snyder wanted to release.
I'm a bit more forgiving of Suicide Squad, but otherwise, pretty much exactly how I feel about these films. Especially Man of Steel.
I have the German Blu-ray. Pretty sure it's 5.1 (I needed to replace my worn VHS widescreen copy for classroom use, so I found a disc a few years ago online).
Unless there are significant extras on this release, I'll live with the German disc menu.
Costs in Canada for initial releases often seem grossly overpriced vs US releases (Twilight Zone series Blu a notable exception). Once we factor in exchange rates, however, the difference is often negligible. I live in Canada and work in the US. I do the price comparison with all costs (taxes...
Just scored a copy from Amazon Canada. Comes to 88$US taxes included (no way to avoid sales tax in Canada). Close enough to best US deal currently available.
I was at a 15/70 venue last week and the preview for Sully filled the screen convincingly. If the film itself looks that good, a 15/70 screening would be worth the detour.
Judging from his comic book depiction over the past two decades, bloodthirsty and sadistic are a bit extreme as labels, but closer to reality than the 70s Superfriends version everyone who makes jokes seems to be stuck on. He's a rather imperious and aggressive character in the comics going back...
I love TOS. My first and favourite Trek series, since 1973. But I also love the Bad Robot movies--mostly because they are NOT a duplicate of the original version. They offer a different perspective on a familiar "universe" that I find refreshing and interesting. In fact, while I enjoyed Beyond...
Much like the new Trek cast movies, it seems there is a powerful vocal objection by some viewers to depicting well-known characters in early phases of their evolution. I love the exploration in Trek and in the Cavill Superman stories of how a different set of circumstances can lead an iconic...
Warner dropped the ball. The longer cut should have been the theatrical release (if they truly wanted to avoid an R, I estimate fewer than 2 minutes, a few frames at a time, could be excised for that purpose). Wouldn't satisfy those who don't like the basic premise but, and I say this as a fan...
There were other living beings (like Jaylah and the three goons she dispatched) but they were scavengers, escapees who were not part of Krall's forces.
