Any word if free willy and Selena might hit blu ray?
You don't sound negative to me. I have to agree with you 100%....with one exception, they SHOULD remove all the logos they used during their "A Kinney Service Company" period. It was a LOW POINT in the company's history when they were taken over by a "parking lot" company. At least "Seven Arts" was a respectable company in the industry.Powell&Pressburger said:WB can save some money if they would stop wasting their time replacing all their original opening logos and replacing them with the brand new CGI version. Received my Warner Archive of Deathtrap today on BLU and they wasted time by adding the new logo. For a studio who wants to celebrate their 90th they want to erase their past logos.
I don't want to sound 100% negative so I will say the transfer looks wonderful and Deathtrap is a great BLU release. Available thru amazon now!
The reason I hate that logo is because when "My Fair Lady" was re-released in 1971 I worked as a projectionist at the Criterion. They sent in a used 70mm print and SPLICED that horrible logo on the beginning (as I'm sure you're aware, the "real" WB logo comes in further in). It always bugged me and I was thrilled when Kinney was gone. Everytime the Wall Street crowd becomes involved with a film or theatre company, it ALWAYS turns bad.Powell&Pressburger said:I still like that logo too! It plays over the start of The Omega Man. I like those retro logo's but I understand why you would hate it. I still think those should remain intact.
Universal does this also have u seen the blu rays of et and to kill a mockingbirdTechman707 said:The reason I hate that logo is because when "My Fair Lady" was re-released in 1971 I worked as a projectionist at the Criterion.

Yes, I have, the Blu-ray is the THIRD copy of “To Kill A Mockingbird” I’ve bought. The first SD version I bought wasn’t anamorphic and looked like $h1t and with shrunken titles (like Disney does). I could understand if there was a legitimate reason, however, there is none, the titles would have all been in the safe area. Although there’s no real reason for Universal to use their “new” color logo at the beginning of an OLD B&W film, at least they didn’t try replacing the original Universal-International logo or shrink the titles like on the SD disc, so it doesn’t really bother me that bad. It’s actually a separate file on the disc, so if you want to load the movie on a server, you could leave it out.redeye007 said:Universal does this also have u seen the blu rays of et and to kill a mockingbird
Eventually they will be, but I'm not sure when.Originally Posted by MattPeriolat /t/325992/warner-talks-with-htf-about-their-90th-anniversary/30#post_4014962
I'm curious if the Tales from the Lot will be released separately from the box sets. Nice as the boxes are, I already have too many of the movies offered to double dip, but would still like the doc.
Feel free. I need to dig through my pics.Originally Posted by David Upton /t/325992/warner-talks-with-htf-about-their-90th-anniversary#post_4013244
MPI allowed us to see the telecine process in action on 3 machines simultaneously, which was an incredible sight. It's quite incredible to see original film stock running through a scanner at 7FPS - each frame being scanned at 4K. This was on the new lasergraphics machine they just recently installed. Adam, are we allowed to post any images from MPI?

There will be several more titles coming out on BD too, but haven't been announced yet. Also, don't forget the Goldwyn and Paramount titles that Warner will be distributing over the next few years like Guys and Dolls and possibly The Best Years of Our Lives along with several other possibilities.

Yeah, I was exaggerating -- I should have added a smiley. I tend to read reviews before purchasing most anything these days.Jason_V said:Just out of curiosity, who will you return it to? No B/M store I know of will let you return opened media for anything but the same title.
It would probably be better to wait for the reviews to come in next year and ask the question before buying the disc.

There are many of us who have questions about the studio's plans regarding its many black & white television shows from the fifties and sixties.
