Not related to the home video release, but I was able to catch Superman in 35mm at the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta last night. Bonus that it fell on the 85th anniversary of Action Comics #1. Print was not in the best shape (understatement) and the reel changes were off. It was quite funny to see...
I was able to replace my battery. It was not difficult to do.

I did order the kit from ifixit (prying tools).
I ordered this battery:
This re-release of S:TM sure not looking good based on the back cover from this site:

I’m definitely not preordering this box with a press release still leaving us all speculating regarding what is and isn’t on the S:TM UHD BR. Who even knows if the WB “rep” Bill Hunt communicated with has accurate info?
All in all I’m happy enough with the 2018 release, even with that orange...
Responding to earlier comments, I thought it was pretty obvious that Worf was Raffi’s handler in Episode 1 when “you are a warrior” or something life that was said in their text chain.
And I also noticed the Voyager in the end credits, but I think that’s just an Easter Egg showing which...
My take is nothing should have been cleaned up on the theatrical cut with the DE being redone in 4K.
The DE does have matte lines that could have been cleaned up. I don’t have any issues with the ones still in the movie but I wouldn’t disagree with anyone who wishes they were dealt with.
Wanted to add that the Italian disc has one major flaw. No auto resume!
Not a flaw but you also need to select the English audio option from the menu since it defaults to Italian, but that’s totally understandable since it is an Italian release.
Bought this one last year and it’s the only version on my shelf now. It has the correct dialogue for the theatrical cut. There was also an audio “blip” on the Lionsgate, probably due to seamless branching, that only impacted the theatrical cut and not Redux.
Thank goodness for this disc!
Glad more wasn't done to the theatrical cut based on the few hack job "fixes" that were done to it. Still not sure why it wasn't left alone what with the DE getting the 4K treatment.
Was the VHS release Pan & Scan? Perhaps that contributed to some of the conspiracy theories about the diner scene since you would have seen each actor's face and not much else.
It's all here folks! https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/a-few-words-about-tm-the-godfather-s-50th-anniversary-restoration-in-4k-uhd.375209/
I held off on this but took the bait with that Prime Day price. It'll be nice to have Coda and all the Part III cuts.
I see that the theatrical and SLV will be on the same disc and seamless branching will be used. I hope that means this particular disc will have a true version of the theatrical cut and the problematic "fixes" that were done for last year's 4K release will no longer be present (the shot of the...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this deal, but Amazon has the 4 movie set for $39.99 for Prime Day. Exclusive to Prime members. I think I can live this, maybe sell off the digital codes (HD digital copies I bought years ago already upgraded to 4K on iTunes) , and then pick up V and...
I would go so far as to say it’s a logical way to look at it. I’m in the same boat where I have 1-10 on iTunes and 1-4 already upgraded to 4K last year.
I’m going to pass on the box o’junk. I really only want to own TMP:DE and TWOK on 4K Blu, but if the 1-6 set can be had for $60 around BF then...
BONG!!!
While it's fun seeing Rene Auberjonois in a different role I am not a fan of the Scooby-Doo "It's Colonel West!" reveal. Klingons and Humans conspired together so why wouldn't the assassin be an actual Klingon?
The first home video cut was the one that was on the DVD release in 1999. I...
Are there plans for larger A90K sets this year? Can’t cite a source but I thought the A90J will be carried forward to the 2022 lineup and the A90K is just adding smaller sized WOLEDs to Sony’s lineup.
I went with DiabolikDVD and it arrived a few days prior to 4/12. They also packaged it incredibly well (bubble wrap inside a box), so no smashed corners, dents, etc… In other words, it was in mint condition! This was my first time buying from them and it won’t be my last.
Yeah, turns out I don’t have premium. Thanks Neil! As a side note, I’m a big fan of your work!
I think I’ll hold off on Premium. I have tickets reserved for the Fathom event and the UHD Blu-ray will be a day one purchase.
