I thought the reason we couldn't mention region coding on the Kino Lorber thread was because they could only get the Region A rights and didn't want the thread full of Europeans moaning about not being able to watch the movies.
Does anybody know if there are plans for the restoration and release of the Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers serials on Blu-ray? There are currently reasonable, but by no means top quality, DVD editions of the serials and more gawdawful PD releases than you can stick a shake at.
Can anybody tell me...
Catwoman. Splendid ladies, all of them, but Julie Newmar is the clear winner.
Maybe you get a fresh Catwoman for each of her nine lives. If Julie Newmar's the first, Lee Meriwether the second, Eartha Kitt the third, Michelle Pfeiffer #4, Halle Berry #5 and Anne Hathaway the sixth. That means...
FFS! I thought the days of carving up proper theatres into multiscreens was over. They're always a mess, waste capacity and are an inevitable sign of decline and closure. Bloody disgusting.
In all fairness, a lot of consumers aren't familiar with the settings of their displays. Only last week, I had to help my neighbour switch off the Trumotion "feature" on his plasma as it was causing all kinds of weird motion artifacts. I've seen loads of flat screens displaying a stretched 4:3...
I think it's another issue where context is everything. You have a still image with a choice of colour palettes and any of them could be the right one. In the context of the movie, I'd expect it would be easier to judge the correct look.
Possibly, but you're not going to get the same blaze of publicity for the home release of OTGAP as the theatrical release. The home market is still very much an afterthought for the industry (if only by force of habit) - the advertising bucks all go to the theatrical run. Hopefully this shows WB...
Strictly speaking Moonraker is full of opticals - credited to Robin Browne, Bill Hansard and Louis Lapeyre among others. Derek Meddings and his team achieved an astounding amount of work without benefit of ILM-style composite work, simply by winding back and multiple exposure, but the movie does...
As a wearer of spectacles, I managed to source a couple of pairs of reasonably priced (under £5) clip on 3D lenses that work brilliantly with my 42" LG LCD. I compared active and passive systems when I was getting the set and personally found that the passive system (while compromising vertical...
From Wikipedia:
Maybe the effect he was trying to achieve was more of a comic-book style? Bleach bypass would give you basically a black and white movie with a colour overlay. If the colours were oversaturated, that would make the effect even more pronounced.
I don't think Peter Jackson shares George's professional disregard for his actors. After putting Christopher Lee's nose out of joint leaving Saruman out of ROTK's Theatrical Cut, I can't see him slighting Ian Holm by substituting him in the Rings pictures. Give the man some credit.
