    3D An Advance Look at "3-D Rarities" from the 3-D Film Archive and Flicker Alley

    I'm a little confused. If ICFOS was Universal's first 3-D feature, what did the 3-D trailer play with?

    3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant

    Fantastic news Bob and Greg! Can't wait! I was there for the 2003 3-D Expo showing and enjoyed it immensely. I'll be picking up 2 copies to support the cause and your efforts. btw...be careful when mastering the audio, because "...at these levels, sound can KILL!" :D

    3D Inferno (1953) 3D Blu-ray

    There are several Golden Age 3-D films where the depth of the title cards is misplaced in the stereoscopic stage. Inferno and Mad Magician are two of the most egregious. Man In The Dark had the opposite problem: the titles are correct but the city-scape behind them is in reverse 3-D. Next time...

    3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant

    I would think Kiss Me Kate would be given serious consideration ahead of some of those other titles.

    3D Top 30 Must Own 3D Blu-Ray Releases

    Only Panasonic's passive 3-D displays are 1/2 HD resolution. Their active 3-D displays are full HD.I don't think they have any passive plasmas. Refer to this list which details actual (effective) 3-D resolution for various display models.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Man Who Knew Too Much -- in Blu-ray

    I have no issues with mindless popcorn fare...as long as some of the spoils are rolled back into preserving and honoring the film hertiage that brought us here in the first place.

    70mm film transfer to bluray using SmileBox simulated curved screen

    What I would really like to see is for someone to produce a 3-D BD version of the SmileBox process, wherein the left and right edges of the virtual screen appear physically closer to the viewer then the center. That would be an interesting experiment and would go farther in recreating the...

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray

    Unlike the set in the video, my set had the BD on the left and the film frame on the right. I must have gotten the left-handed version. :D

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in Blu-ray

    My frame is a view of Lawrence and Farraj through a tattered window screen. The actors, happily, can be seen clearly through a tear in the screen, but about 80% of the rest of the frame is darkened by the screen. I know, I know...it's a beautifully composed shot in the context of the film. But...

    Blu-ray Review Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 2 Blu-ray Review

    Matt, your review states that Day & Night was Pixar's first 3-D animated short. However, I believe that honor goes to Partly Cloudy, which was shown in 3-D with UP! a year earlier.

    3D Toy Story 3D Trilogy available for preorder on Amazon

    Disney 3-D releases make use of "floating windows" to ameliorate stereoscopic edge violations. You can see a goofy promo video describing the process here. For this reason, the primary stream from one of their 3-D BDs could not be made to pull double-duty as a 2-D version. This is why they have...

    3D 3D GLASSES QUESTION

    I would certainly double-check with the manufacturer before using any kind of chemical cleaner on expensive active glasses. Again, the only thing I use on my eyewear (both active and passive) is breath and the cleaning cloth that came with my sunglasses.

    3D 3D GLASSES QUESTION

    I wouldn't use water unless they are so smudged that you have nothing to lose. What I do if I have a particular stubborn fingerprint is breathe heavily on the lenses (no joke) and then wipe off the breath (condensation) with the cleaning cloth.

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray

    I always thought it was a little more than that. Dryden is talking about the desert being a "burning, fiery furnace". Lawrence poo-poos the notion, retorting that "it's going to be fun" and extinguishing the flame with a single breath, as if demonstrating his power to control it, to contain it...

    3D 3D GLASSES QUESTION

    I use the cleaning cloth that came with my sunglasses on my 3-D eyewear. Oh, and if your "peeps" are the marshmallow kind, your glasses are going to get really sticky.

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    Indeed, product placement predates the Bond films, as Fleming's novels are saturated with it. From Bond's Sea Island cotton shirts, to his custom-blended Morland Specials cigarettes, to the Dom Perignon champagne he favors. Fleming name-dropped in order to ground Bond's incredible world in...

    3D Blu-ray Review THE HTF 3D ADDICT: Legend of the Guardians 3D

    There is no short subject included with the 3-D BD of Polar Express. Coyote Falls 3D was included with the BD of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, which is probably what was meant to be stated.
