Oh, I see now - you were criticizing Warner Bros for changing the logo on the TRAILER, not the film proper. Is that right? I haven't watched the trailer. But your post made it seem like you were talking about the film itself, not the trailer, because you did not quote anything and frankly...

Okay, let me inject some reality - a) I don't know what Blu-Ray Ron is referring to above, but the Logan's Run Blu-Ray that I have begins with the standard Warners logo BEFORE the film - it is not PART of the film. When that logo fades out, we then get the film proper, which begins with - an...

Columbia is really something else and it only makes one wish they'd get to the classics - but if they're taking their sweet time doing them right, then they should take their sweet time. But oh boy can I not wait for things like The Big Heat, Bridge On The River Kwai, Guns Of Navarone, Picnic...

Just ordered it. My all-region Blu player arrives tomorrow and I can finally watch The Red Shoes, Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Brief Encounter, The Bed Sitting Room, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Hamlet, Henry V, and a few others that have been sitting on my shelf taunting me.

I found this page: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Tora-Tora-Tora-Blu-ray/6966/ Seems like it's coming November 20. There's an amazon link on this page - would this be amazon.de?

Need it NOW.

Where did you order it from - I must have it.

[/url] The presentation is lacking sometimes but Mr. Feldman certainly does know his colours ...

Well, at least one person saw what was going on. Thanks for your post. "Then, then your name isn't Kaplan?" "Can't say it is, 'cause it ain't."

Mr. Harris, as always, cuts to the heart of the matter concisely and clearly and it is much appreciated. My entire point was that in this age of DVD and even more so with Blu-Ray, we seem to be losing the ability to just watch and enjoy a movie. If a transfer is bad or not up to snuff, sure we...

Luckily, your obnoxious and specious words speak for themselves. You simply make it too easy - I don't have to do anything. You can't respond without insults, therefore you are a big 0. And isn't selective quoting fun? Happily, my refutation of your original obnoxious post is there for all...

Some of the most quotable dialogue in movie history, some of which would be at home right in this very thread, if you get my meaning. Like "Games? Must we?"

Go Ernie! :)

I didn't really think about the politics of things back in 1959 - I was eleven when I first saw North By Northwest. I just thought the film the most exciting, funny, clever, and wonderful thing I'd ever seen. I played being chased by an airplane, literally running down the street looking over...

"Now if only you'd have been able to explain the anomalies in question you'd have helped to prove your dubious claim of "expertise". But all I'm reading from you is a whole lot of hot air instead." You had your answer back on November 7th, when I DID explain the anomalies. I believe I said it...

And what some of us have been saying since the minute we saw it right down to the word "replicated."

To answer some questions - there were no VistaVision prints on opening night. Just like every VistaVision film after the first one or two, all VistaVision films were released in standard 35mm, but they always looked sharper and better because of the process itself. Second - the Blu-Ray of...

My comments were more general in tone, and if that wasn't apparent, apologies. I wasn't picking on one specific post, just an amalgamation of them not only in this thread but in The Wizard Of Oz thread and every other thread about a classic film transfer. As to the person who rolled his "eyes"...

I, a drama queen? I don't see anything either dramatic or Queenly about anything I've written - I do, however, see a great deal of unnecessary emotionalism and yes, queeniness, in your very own diatribe. My point was and is, there is a lot of what is, IMO, silly nitpicking - frame by frame...

The discussion of film and Blu-Ray interests me, not this incessant one-frame nitpicking, but unfortunately it happens in every thread about every transfer, no matter how small the "imperfection" that turns out not to be an "imperfection" at all. In the good old days, you know, when you just...

This sort of frame by frame nitpicking is so tiresome, really. Matt is right - it's spots on the lens - just as there are spots on the lens in the opening shots of How The West Was Won - let's blame that on the transfer, too. I'm wondering in this age of Blu-Ray (and DVD to a lesser extent) if...

While there are sections of this transfer that are nice and sharp in Blu-Ray, it's not a stellar transfer - many scenes are printed too dark, and the transfer is quite erratic. Wonderful Life, on the other hand, looks really nice.

I'll check it out, but I can't go by anything on the previous transfers since they didn't look like they should - this one resembles closely the 35mm IB Tech prints and the shot you call out, which I remember well, has always looked like that on the prints.

Sorry, it's always looked like that - and I've seen this film over 100 times.

Talk to the makeup people.

All you have to do to know how grand this transfer is is to put on the old DVD - people have been saying "ooh, it is darker" - yes, just like it always was - that's called contrast and it's perfect here. One of the biggest problems of this film on home video has always been that it's been...

It is NOT more brownish. It is more bluish. Brown is bad. Grant's tan makeup has always looked like that in the Tech prints - has nothing to do with a brown cast to the transfer.

That's the one! I probably got it from that online store, actually. But I had to have read about it somewhere and now can't find any reference to it on any board that I frequent.

The DVD was good for it's day, but if you watch it and the Blu-Ray back to back, well - toss the DVD. I've watched the first fifteen minutes of the Blu-Ray (and now have to run to a meeting, but will be finishing it as soon as I get back) and it's as good as you could hope for. As I've posted...

That's weird - I made a response to this last night, but I'm guessing I clicked "clear" instead of "submit" because my eye always seems to go down to the left. Anyway, I think what I have is Australian maybe - packaging is all in English, 2 DVDs, from Studio Canal and Universal, and if I'm...
