    What kind of projector screen

    I have more or less the same question. I haven't followed the front-projection screen market for a few years and don't know what's good today. I'm also looking for 100-120" and unity gain or lower. Can anyone help with an overview of the current marketplace or point me to a sub-forum discussing...

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    Wahoo! I was so disappointed when Five Easy Pieces was stuck exclusively into the boxset. Individual release, here I come!

    Mad Max Collector's Edition (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder

    I'll take the radio silence about it in the above release to mean no new transfer on this one.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ 2001: A Space Odyssey -- in BD & HD

    Yes, I'm happy to see Soderbergh (like so many of us, his peers) continuing to steep, mull, and enjoy the film, and pleased for him that he can "play with" the edit to his heart's content, but his take on 2001 is definitely not my own. I braced myself and tried a little taste of his handiwork...

    Official KINO Insider Announcements Thread: STRICTLY MODERATED: READ GUIDELINES

    Hi, MisterLime! I was so pleased by the release of The Lina Wertmuller Collection in 2012 but, I confess, largely because I thought it portended the imminent Blu-ray release of the other titles in her catalogue at Kino Lorber. Are any of the remaining Wertmuller titles in the near-term plans...

    Kino Lorber Studio Classics: Blu-ray Release Announcements

    Is it worth holding out any hope for a release of the remaining Wertmuller titles Kino Lorber controls or did the ones released a couple years ago sell too poorly?

    WHV Press Release: The Wizard of Oz 75th Anniversary (Blu-ray 3D)(Blu-ray)(DVD)

    My course of action is not covered by the poll. I own the 70th Anniversary version and I plan to decide whether or not I will upgrade to the 75th Anniversary 2D version when I see some reviews comparing the two.

    Especially when the showman is presenting both and they both reflect upon the showman's showmanship.

    Patton (1970) Reg B Version

    There is the curved look that would have been produced by playback onto a curved screen.

    Patton (1970) Reg B Version

    Dimension-150 was intended as a curved-screen presentation format, the 150 being the degrees of your field of vision intended to be enveloped.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Birds -- in Blu-ray

    Yeah, it was frustrating enough having to wait out the big boxset, but I wasn't expecting them to then spring the little boxset on us. :angry:

    The years half over and I'm still waiting for-----

    I'm waiting for some stuff, too. I recommend Rubik's Cube to pass the time.

    I'm just waiting on the re-mastered Goodfellas and Lolita discs we've been quasi-promised.

    Ever cancel a Blu-ray order because of bad cover art? I just did....

    There is no movie that I want enough that I would own it, but that I also want so little that any poorly-designed disc cover could ever dissuade me.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Cleopatra (1963) - U.S. Release -- in Blu-ray

    What am I missing about the placement of the entr'acte? It would seem to me the original placement, at the end of disc 1, would provide the user more (and more convenient) viewing/presentation options. I don't understand what's "strange" about that placement.

    Sony Mastered in 4K Blu-rays Available For Preorder

    :huh: If Levi Strauss develops a new pocket reinforcement technology that makes the pockets of 501s less likely to develop holes than the pockets of the jeans they sold you 5 years ago, do you wait by the mailbox for your free pair of improved 501s to arrive?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Who Framed Roger Rabbit -- in Blu-ray

    Sadly, I'm not gonna hold my breath. I'm sure the transfer (of what they did transfer) looks great, but I'd never be able to feel comfortable calling it a "perfect presentation" until they give us the movie intact. However minor the changes are in functional terms and however few people may...

    The Swimmer (Frank Perry) coming to Blu-ray

    Cool, Steve! The Swimmer used to by in my Top 20, but dropped out some years ago. I don't think I've ever met anyone else who ranked it on a shortlist. Incidentally, I'm only waiting on 3 Blu-ray releases to see my Top 20 completed now, as well. :3dglasses:

    Do you know what "rights" means? It means it is their decision whether the title is released or not. If you were entitled to it, whether they release it or not, their rights would be meaningless.

    Interesting new "facts" about Cinerama and 70mm from the latest Widescreen Review

    An IMAX screen would've actually given him a semi-legitimate excuse to put that crap in the magazine- at least it would have something to do with watching movies.
