The neon and car lights of 1970’s NYC should look amayzing with that HDR added- not like film itself mind you but amayzing.
So much for 1970’s grittiness/ realness. I will watch w bated breath.

You can't judge a disc release without ever having seen it.

The 2011 Blu-ray was fine, but technology keeps improving!

Bring on 3D Travis!
Seriously I’m looking forward to it. I just remember how this film was loaded w urban grittiness back in its day w that distinctive 70’s film stock. Not sure if it ever needed to “pop”.

I don't remember movies at this point in time popping.
This is where I spent my teen years, Times Square in this era, so it is practically home movies for me. I wasn't totally happy. I would have liked to have known the deuce and midtown in earlier incarnations but compared to what it is now it was the Elysian Fields.
I saw lots of prostitutes and pimps but never one as young as Foster.
