Paramount obviously doesn't care and deems the DCP version good enough to be shown theatrically. Among the big studios it is probably only Universal that releases even worse DCP versions - they even have a Spartacus DCP that apparently looks as one might expect after having seen the Blu-ray version!

She is pretty much unknown in Europe because she wasn't in a Dove chocolate commercial like in the US :) This is not really meant to be taken seriously although it is probably not too far from the truth for a large segment of the younger population...

Interesting - over here in Europe she is still pretty much unknown but in the US Paramount and Warner should bring out more movies and advertise them as "starring the girl from the Dove chocolate commercial" - I am sure that sales to the unwashed masses will explode :D

I suggest that it looks as described as I know that version and believe it to be identical to the US transfer.It will also depend on your sensitivity to certain things and interest in film and how things usually look that are shot on film and in certain processes. I am not sure that I would...

That is probably the sad reality. A musical with Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn - Audrey who? And they are all dead, already!Still additonal expenses for grain reduction and/or sharpening are absolutely unnecessary in such a scenario and only make matters worse. If only studios understood this...

I have been saying this for a long time - bigger screens and close viewing distances are essential in mastering. Something that still looks good 10 ft away from a 10 ft screen will be even better on smaller screens and with bigger relative viewing distances so for practical purposes in...

Thank you Kevin, I like the JKP screen for the very reason that it offers a perfectly smooth surface, very important with higher resolution pictures and especially when the screen is not that big. And as a disclaimer the titles I mentioned were pure conjecture as I happen to find them...

Kevin, thanks for your impressions, I happen to think that Double Indemnity looks excellent in its latest incarnation which caused me to buy it again as my European release does not quite hold up. Yes, Joe has applauded some releases from Universal but I am sure it was not Spartacus, Jurassic...

Robert,it is great that you had a chance to visit Joe Kane. I had the opportunity to talk to him a bit at the IFA on several occasions and he really knows his stuff.I was told that back in the days of HD-DVD he tried to convince Universal to stop with the DNR and EE on their catalog titles. I...

Puts things in perspective, doesn't it? I looked into collecting 16mm prints some time ago but when I found out that the majority of them do not even have the correct aspect ratio let alone multichannel sound I quickly scrapped that idea.And while I may not be a fan of how this particular...

I have seen the Euro disc and I happen to think that it looks rather mediocre when projected. I cannot say I am that happy with some of the recent Paramount releases via Warner and for Funny Face I had hoped that the US version would be more on the level of White Christmas and The Ten...
