I just received the Wings of Desire 4K steelbook release. The transfer is indeed an absolute knockout from what I sampled, and huge improvement over the older Criterion release. But what I was not expecting was SDH-only style English subtitles. Obviously great to have as an option, but horrible...

I received Darby O'Gill. The audio is encoded at a whopping 96 kbps (much like the last batch of releases such as Make Mine Music). Not using lossless audio is disappointing/puzzling enough, but why encode it at such a ridiculously low bit rate as well? Happy to see some catalog releases that...

Glad there will be a second season, as I am enjoying it quite a bit. One thing that's been bothering me, though: does anyone find the score in this show intrusive and grating? Every time you're about to feel any emotion in this show, and those damn couple piano keys come in for about the 400th...

Mainly sad to assume Disc + Digital is going away, no one else had anything like that. Loved getting to buy the digital copy before the physical release was out, and then having Walmart ship the disc when it streeted. That was really the main reason I use Vudu.

Crossing fingers, seems crazy it has taken so long for this to happen. However, we have been fooled by iTunes banner ads before... https://www.reddit.com/r/appletv/comments/7djl8s/marvel_in_4k_hdr_did_disney_cave/

Well, you have me there.

Very excited for this release, but very disappointed that they will not be releasing Sherlock Jr in this set, which was included in the Masters of Cinema release (and is definitely one of my favorites!) Not sure if they intend to release it later with another Keaton restoration, here's hoping.

Left out the most exciting one for me, Elevator to the Gallows on Feb 6! Silence of the Lambs is in some ways almost disappointing to see going back to Criterion, as there has been a 4K master popping up on Vudu and iTunes. I'd rather have an Ultra HD Blu-ray, even if it meant still having to...

Creed and Magnificent Seven are MGM titles, and Last Vegas I believe is CBS. Sony may act as the distributer for the discs, but they don't own the titles. Hopefully the last of the studios will come onboard before too long.

Nice find! I noticed another title like this, Kiss Me Kate (1953). Purchased through Vudu and shows up in my iTunes library despite not being available when searching. I wonder what other hidden iTunes movies can be had this way.

Darin Morgan is some kind of hero, it's a shame he hardly writes anything outside of Chris Carter shows (which aren't exactly plentiful these days.) As far as "plot holes" in this episode go, well... I guess you either like the absurdist humor or you don't. It's not meant to make logical...

I would like to hear confirmation from someone who has seen the disc here as well, as I am now hesitant to purchase it. I would like an option to watch the film without logo watermarking and the descriptive IDs and text. I actually like the descriptions as an option and would definitely like...

Hi Jim, Glad it all worked out!

Hi Jim, As you were already thinking, you can try grabbing a bluetooth transmitter and plugging it into the headphone jack on your receiver, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0169TWV8O/websearchengi40-20 The biggest problem would be latency, which might throw the sync...

Hi Jim, It depends on your specific devices, but generally your installer is probably correct. If the remote that came with your TV has dedicated app buttons, your universal remote may have a learning function that will allow it to copy those buttons. Otherwise the macro option would...
