Your error was leaving to go to The Egyptian. You missed the latest digital 3D conversion tests -- Edison's The Sneeze, a sequence from The Patriot (1928), a short test from South Park, and Kiss Me Kate. Best to never leave one's seat at The Reel Thing.RAHChuck Pennington said:It was a test of the recently completed 4k restoration of MY FAIR LADY. They said that definitely. It was not just a test of a possible restoration.I also saw new 4K restorations of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, THE CABINET OF DR CALIGARI, and A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. I missed seeing DUEL so I could see PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET at the Egyptian.We heard a really cool sound demo involving Fox's STORMY WEATHER as well.
None of that was on the program, but I had never seen PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET before (loved it!) and I got to meet Sam Fuller's widow and daughter. It was very nice. I'd never been to LA before, and it was a Thurs-Sun thing. I'm still glad I got to the Egyptian, though I'm sure the stuff I missed was probably wonderful too.I didn't stay for WHITE DOG at the Egyptian as I was really tired by that point.Robert Harris said:Your error was leaving to go to The Egyptian.

and you wouldn't issue a press release that has a link to a site with the information included.http://www.broadcastnewsroom.com/article/The-Reel-Thing-Film-Restoration-and-Preservation-Symposium-Slated-for-August-21---23-in-Hollywood-3453917lukejosephchung said:If anyone were to try to keep a lid on this info and demonstration viewing after revealing it both at a bricks-and-mortar event AND its official website, I'd be wondering about the reasoning behind it, especially since the OP who delivered the news on this thread is a non-industry attendee at the viewing...if non-disclosure of this news was the intent, the event organizers and CBS' representatives did a piss-poor job of it...regardless of their intent, the cat's definitely out of the bag!!!
Am I the only one getting "Eyes Wide Shut" flashbacks right now? I'm alluding to the scene where Cruise infiltrated into the orgastic ceremony.Chuck Pennington said:I'm not in the industry, and I was there.
I have no opinion at all about this 'leak'.haineshisway said:No, they are not the reason this got out, sorry to tell you. Why? Because NO ONE searched, and even IF they searched, no one came up with that website, and therefore NO ONE posted here asking the question, "Is there a new 4K scan coming?" That at least would have been a QUESTION. I understand what the World Wide Web is just as you understand the real point here - which is simple and stated by both Mr. Harris and myself. I'm sure you've read the blurb by now, too, so you know what that says. There was no question posed in this thread - there was only someone attending an industry event who within a short time of having attended it and despite the admonition that CBS was not ready to announce anything came directly here and announced it. Until that time, no one had searched for what you are saying, come up with that site, and then posted here. It's pretty simple and no amount of dancing around it is going to have anyone come to any other conclusion.
Googlers are getting failing grades.Yorkshire said:I have no opinion at all about this 'leak'.
However, knowing how often I've googled 'a matter of life and death blu-ray' over the past 5 years, I doubt very much that a large number of googles for 'my fair lady 4k' haven't been made.
I also doubt very much that, having found that link, everyone who read it decided not to post the information due to it being 'secret'.

and we ARE!!Chuck Pennington said:Some people just want to be first, I guess. I just thought I'd share what I saw because I figured people would be interested.
Put My Fair Lady 4K restoration into the browser and Home Theater Forum is now second on the Google results.Yorkshire said:However, knowing how often I've googled 'a matter of life and death blu-ray' over the past 5 years, I doubt very much that a large number of googles for 'my fair lady 4k' haven't been made.

That's probably due to the Roseanne Barr nude pics out there in Google land.Robert Harris said:Googlers are getting failing grades.
