    What was the last live concert or show you've been too?

    I saw this small, up-and-coming rock band called The Rolling Stones recently in Stockholm. Here's my long-winded review of the show and some general impressions on the band as well: http://ramblingmusingsbyseppo.blogspot.fi/2014/07/the-rolling-stones-in-stockholm-more.html

    Rumor: Remastered Rocky and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on the way

    No theatrical cut, and "remastered mono" has me a bit suspicious. https://twitter.com/FinnAtFox/status/438780219818655745

    Rumor: Remastered Rocky and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on the way

    Any chance this might include the shorter, original U.S. theatrical cut of the film too or just the so called "director's cut"?

    Gorgeous transfer on this Blu-ray, and a wonderful, moving motion picture.

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray

    You're welcome. That made my day. It's hard for me not to get choked up near the end of the documentary when Lean in his early eighties talks so lovingly about filmmaking, saying, "I just love making movies. I have a sort of burst of adrenalin when I get behind a camera. I just love them. I...

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray

    I've been a longtime reader of this wonderful thread. What a treat it has been reading all the Lawrence and non-Lawrence related stories, the clever Bolties, and to just have so many people share a passion and enthusiasm for this miracle of a film. I love "Lawrence of Arabia" so much that it...

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in 4k/UHD Blu-ray

    I just noticed something peculiar. I'm watching the movie on a scope screen by zooming out the black bars. However, during one brief moment the aspect ratio seems to shift from 2.20:1 to 2.35:1 (there's a cut to Jose Ferrer between these two shots). Anyone else notice this? Here are two poorly...

    The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

    Thanks, guys. My first attempt at writing a movie review. I watched "Batman Begins" less than a week ago and have to admit I got choked up during the moment where Gordon puts the jacket on young Bruce. It was nice how they took elements from the first two movies and incorporated them in "The...

    Writing a Thesis on Digital Film Restoration

    Thought I'd post an update as it has been a year to date since my previous post. Time does fly. Last week I finished the first cut of my master's thesis titled Digital Film Restoration and Remastering. Roughly 62 pages, written in English, and yes, I'll upload once it has been graded by my...

    ET: 30th Annivesary Blu-Ray?

    Bob O'Neil from Universal Studios said this in the December 2008 edition of American Cinematographer: "For example, we just finished some work on E.T. at Motion Picture Imaging; we discovered the negative had been torn somewhere along the line, so we scanned those shots, repaired the damage...

    Writing a Thesis on Digital Film Restoration

    Well, the first thesis is pretty much done. A total of 29 pages, 7 700 words, four pictures, 25 sources (ranging from books to conferences to studies to magazine articles to documentaries). I used the digital restoration of The Godfather films as the main use case. This means that each chapter...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Wizard of Oz -- in Blu-ray

    Anyone know who produced the "Prettier Than Ever: The Restoration of Oz" featurette? I'm writing a thesis on digital film restoration and I'm planning to use this featurette as one of my sources. That's why it would be good to know who produced it.

    Writing a Thesis on Digital Film Restoration

    Thank you very much, Beth. I just ordered a digital version of the April, 2009 issue of American Cinematographer. I'll probably get to read it sometime this week; they'll email me when it's available for me. I emailed American Cinematographer asking permission to use the pictures from the "Post...

    Quote: Thank you, Beth. I have actually read that article a few years ago and I wanted to use it for the thesis, but because it's a web article I thought I couldn't use it. Then I realized that I actually can use it because that article was released on a printed format. So thank you for linking...

    Blu-ray Review HTF Blu-Ray Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    Same here, and I think I enjoyed even more on my third viewing. After the first viewing I was so freaking disappointed. "Crystal Skull" is pretty much the only movie I've ever truly waited to see. I'm so glad I decided to see it again and it proved to be a fairly enjoyable experience. The movie...
