You did. That’s why I said “confirm.”

It's only a preservation nightmare if they junk the OCN. You can be mad at Disney for lots of things, but their preservation efforts on their mainline titles are without equal.

I want to go in the near future, especially since SIFF has acquired the former Seattle Cinerama and reopened it.

Just checked my iPhone and can confirm the Director's Cut of Doctor Sleep is in 4K Dolby Vision on Apple TV/iTunes. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Gentlemen, you are adding to my reasons to tour the eastern seaboard.

Agreed. I'll watch pretty much anything with the Stath, though I feel like his comic possibilities need to be mined a little more.

I agree with all of the above but will continue to buy Arrow and Severin releases if the price is right. The Warriors LE from Arrow is well worth the money. I also note that the Disney releases are multi-disc titles, as are some of the Arrows and Severins. You'll find that if you buy local, you...

I'm more concerned about preservation elements.

As much as I love the original poster art, this is a pretty iconic image for the film.

Robert, Wishing you a speedy and successful recovery. I have some very limited experience with heart transplants, as my cousin had to have one in 1985 owing to a congenital heart defect which caused his heart to swell to 3 times its normal size. The medical technology has advanced significantly...

Vera Cruz was Superscope. I believe the first film actually labeled as Super 35 was Greystoke. I know it’s essentially the same process with a different AR in the end product (2:1), but there were some titles “converted” to super scope while not being intended for the format (Invasion of the...

Not just any man. Rick Baker, and his work as a "man in a monkey suit" is arguably one of the best things in the movie.
