But it must say somewhere on the web that MOD=burned. This error continues. The facts: There is nothing wrong with pressed discs. There is nothing wrong with burned discs. There are occasionally defective examples of both.

I have far fewer reservations about HDR now that the process has gotten more mature. Initially, I don't believe that many colorists knew how to properly use it. And secondly, it's not always either necessary or helpful. This is an instance where it does its job.

The Crow, a 1994 fan favorite from filmmaker Alex Proyas, and the final appearance by Brandon Lee, is making its 4k debut via Paramount's Miramax label, and it's a beautiful product. While I'm not well versed on the film, and am unable to comment upon original color, densities, et al, the new...

Steven Soderbergh's three Ocean's films have been conveniently packaged as a set by WB as the Ocean's Trilogy, and it's a worthy upgrade. Shot on film in S35, by the occasionally mysterious Peter Andrews, who may have one of the closest relationships with their director, takes advantage of the...

Guillermo Del Toro's 2015 gothic tale arrives again via arrow, and it's a gorgeous 4k of the film, presumably derived from the 2k DI. With richer blacks and redder reds, it's a nice improvement over the Blu-ray, but unless you love the film, might not be worth the upgrade. Wonderful cast...

Ms Gerritsen WAS provided basic compensation by virtue of the purchase of her novel by New Line. It was after the purchase of New Line that responsibilities became muddled, and her credit as author of the novel as basis for the film seems to have been rejected, even though it had been part of...

It’s a new, more moderately priced version of the older 2-disc set, still with both discs...

Did I mention that this release is a great and inexpensive means of obtaining this important Atmos mix?

Gravity has been released in various editions inclusive of 3-D and one of (if not the) earliest Atmos mix. The special Atmos edition was designed within a gorgeous acrylic folding case, which one should presume is now hitting six figures at auction. Gravity, directed and purportedly written by...

Sorry, but all of this is meaningless, as there is no true reference - only byproducts of various scans, as compressed, down-rezzed and otherwise affected.

Recorded from data files.

We lost two 70mm prints of Vertigo at the same theater in Westwood within two weeks. It’s A rough world out there.

Book to the wrong theaters, and that beautiful 70mm print will be chewed up within weeks.

Don’t believe everything you read on the inter-web.

Point taken. Haven’t been to either venue in aeons. Angle of projection can be problematic, as the image must be derived from a trapezoid.

Superior in what way?

Her penultimate performance.

Opinion. Newer scanners are better. More film friendly. More bit depth. Higher resolution. Would a major difference be seen on a 4k Blu-ray comparing a 2007 scan and a 2024 scan. I don’t believe major. Especially after compression. The main reason to re-scan on newer gear is more toward...

Why bother?

“I’m Mama Lucy…”

My former projectors are living happily there.

Why would they focus something designed to be out, if the filmmaker is overseeing?

Bet it shows up in Somerville, one of the best.

A very thoughtful and meticulously prepared video. One point does not tell the precise story, and that is the comment re running the OCN through printers/scanners and the perceived value of the OCN reels. Film printers and scanners are two very different mechanisms. While a physical film to...

There’s a disconnect in this quote, as I’m certain Jan knows the technology. There are zero “artifacts associated with the lab processes and duplicating stocks of the era.” The Searchers had no duplicating stocks. It was printed via 35/4 reduction matrices in dye transfer Technicolor. No...

Did you tell management?

No.

No. But the alternative?

Which would be 2k in most situations.
