This like the best film news of all time for me. Seeing The Searchers at a film festival many years ago in a UA 150 Cinema Dome did 2 things for me. It made me a life long fan of The Duke & John Ford plus blew my mind starring a ton of other actors I'd seen in B&W TV Westerns growing up. Along...

"For those unaware or initiated, a MacGuffin is a device used for hunting lions in the Scottish highlands." I didn't know there were lions in Scotland ;)

Wow what an insulting post by a know-nothing. So you've watch something on 10,500 inch screen so now you're an expert in film transferring and color timing etc and can watch a 10 minute YouTube video and prove that it's all a scam by bleary-eyed tea drinking incompetents. Got it. Must be nice to...

There's no such thing as "Golden Ears", it is "Confirmation Bias". It's not the ears but what is between them.

IMO, LOTR reminds me of a couple other films that were not done justice until a 4k release. Lawrence of Arabia & 2001: A Space Odyssey. Certainly there are others. A couple that come to mind are Gone With the Wind, Ben-Hur & laugh if you want Oklahoma! I have the Todd-AO of Oklahoma and find it...

All I have to say is: Get it? Got it. Good. Brilliant.

HDR a crapshoot? Huh? As Robert said, home projectors with 1 exception, are not bright enough to do HDR justice. OLEDs especially LG & Sony are. Where's the crapshoot?

Gawd, is it still the year 2000 in here? Those bastard studios are at it again, trying to make a profit & not giving you exactly what you so deserve. It's like Hudson in Aliens, some people aren't keeping up current events. Physical media is a money loser, repeat money loser. I'm not saying...

Question or 2. Whatever you order from a non-native Amazon site is dependent on them, not Amazon.com. There are a ton of factors external to any Amazon site. I pre-ordered Police Squad BD from Amazon.com. The original ship & release date was 4/14. Got updated ship date a bit ago and it was 4/16...

Nothing whatsoever to do with differing opinions. Just curious as Wenders is a unique film maker, love him or loathe him. It's Robert's prerogative to reply or not. I always enjoy reading & re-reading his POV, regardless. I'm fine either way

Wondering why Robert hasn't posted regarding Wim Wenders' about Until the End of the World Criterion release? True shame that there wasn't a UHD release given the extensive work done. I'll be ordering it as I generally like Wenders' films. Love that he shoots in story order. Unique. No...

I with you Aurens!

So sometime in 2020 is the latest speculation for Lawrence? I understand that these things take time & we have no choice but to wait but JHC, WWII was won in a shorter timeframe.

Stated simply, Kirk Douglas was one the greatest film making artists in the history of cinema. Acting, producing, giving a blacklisted screenwriter a plum opportunity. Giving an unknown director a job on a film where he starred. So many things. They don't make men like Kirk Douglas very often...

On disc? Maybe I'm a dummy but I can't find it.
