    Warner Archive Announcements Thread

    How many times does it have to be repeated that complicated, time-consuming, expensive and sometimes insurmountable issues with film elements are frequently behind the non-appearance of those Big! Cinematically Significant! Box Office Smashes In Their Time! Ones I Really Really Want! films and...

    Full screen covering ads?

    I get this on The Weather Channel (“An IBM Business”) when I check my local weather forecasts. Also a few other sites I've long used. There's usually something I can click/tap that makes it go away after 3-5 seconds. I don't think I've had to wait 10 seconds for one to disappear.

    I bet there weren't the expensive music clearance issues with this one that there appear to be with some of the other series.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Apu Trilogy -- in 4k UHD

    Like he said in his review: "In the 1990s, AMPAS moved to properly preserve the films, and the original negatives were moved to a lab in London. Before they could be accessed, much of the footage was destroyed in a fire that also claimed a number of British productions."

    How about a text list for reviews?

    Huh. Don't ask me why I didn't notice the archive sections on that list :rolleyes:

    How about a text list for reviews?

    It would be much much much easier to browse reviews in a list than via large thumbnail images with small text titles below them. It's way easier to identify a film by its title than by a random still image from it, plus reduce the amount of scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling . . .

    Head honcho at the Silent Comedy Mafia forum, who is one of the associate producers of the Sennett Volume 1 set, posted there in August 2023 that Volume 2 will be released through Sprocket Vault rather than Flicker Alley.

    I think it's actually James Mason's movie. And Miklos Rozsa's.

    Me too. I've used mine for sizes ranging from 5x7 glass plate negatives (I don't have any 8x10s, but could do those as well) down to 110 negatives and transparencies.

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    Well, a Technicolor successive exposure negative for animation actually uses one strip of film, not the three that's used for live-action photography. This explains it. Of course, it still means three times the number of frames to scan compared to a black-and white or standard color negative film.

    Your thoughts on Kino-Lorber Blu-rays

    In this context use of the term “noir” is marketing strategy. And I have no problem with that. Through it, Kino is making many films available, and it's the selection in the sets that determines whether I buy or not, not the terminology printed on the box.

    Blu-ray Review Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Volume 2 Blu-ray Review

    Well that sucks, since The Eager Beaver has been a favorite of mine from the moment the package first started showing on local TV kid shows, oh, several centuries ago. I'll just have to hope my laserdisc player keeps working. If they can't issue a replacement disc, a nice thing would be to put a...

    With me it was hilarious from my first viewing - which had to be in initial release - and so it's remained with every subsequent one, most recently April this year.
