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...
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.
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."
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 . . .

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.
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.
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.
