    That's one of the more fortunate examples. Sometimes you end up with something like this: https://slow.pics/c/JST3gImv

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Ah, discussion about viewing distances take me back to the good old days of 2008-2010, when people would defend various horrendously DNRed and sharpened (and sometimes SD upscaled) releases with "Scary Movie / Tremors / Zulu / Escape from New York / whatever looks GREAT on my TV at a NORMAL...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Oh, too bad. Anyway, I think Harris embarrassed himself so thoroughly with his review of Elizabeth on HD-DVD that no one should ever take him seriously again. Was that sarcasm? Hyperbole? Irony? Does it even matter? It's all just a bit of fun. And really, only nerdy losers care about movies.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    As long as "getting it right" means picking almost exclusively American or British films, right? Also, you know that in order to get a nomination, a movie has to have a pretty healthy advertising budget?

    Does that mean that his reviews of these three Cameron films are essentially sarcasm and he thinks they are garbage?

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Exactly. Say what you will about the Aliens BD, at least it still looks like film. If the UHD looks like the 4K stream, then it no longer looks like it was shot on film, but on some fairly early digital camera that applied artificial sharpening when shooting. I suppose that we should count...

    :) Well played. There is absolutely no reason to feel guilty about taking pleasure in The Hidden! It is quite simply amazing.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Bram Stoker's Dracula -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    To be fair, the 2015 BD looked quite different from the 2007 BD which we were told was an exact match to the answer print. So I guess the new BD definitely doesn't match the answer print - and I'm assuming that the UHD has the same colour scheme as the 2015 BD. Don't get me wrong, I agree that...

    I think I just described all of Argento's films.

    Suspiria blu-ray from Synapse

    I watched the Italian BD yesterday (instead of just looking at screen-shots which is suddenly acceptable [weird that]) and the green is definitely dominant. In some scenes it seems fine and in others... not so fine. Then, it was always a garish looking film and I'm not going to pretend that I...

    No, my name is Steen. Which is why it says "Real Name: Steen". And I haven't been banned from Blu-ray.com yet.

    Suspiria blu-ray from Synapse

    And Torsten Kaiser is working with the owners of the film. I guess we're at an impasse. Why should you doubt Harris? Well, he thought the HD-DVD of Elizabeth looked fantastic, and later he told us that the BD was horribly filtered... But the two are identical. So I guess he's not flawless...

    So a Technicolor representative came out in support of Synapse's screen-shots? I missed that one.

    Suspiria blu-ray from Synapse

    Oh, I think it's totally awesome that you guys spend time talking about other forums and arm-chair experts like Torsten Kaiser (who does that guy think he is?). And all those stupid screen-shot scientists over at THAT FORUM. Damn, they're so stupid. Hey, have you guys seen those screen-shots...

    Yeah, all those other people are so stupid. We're all so smart. This is the only worthwhile place on the internet.

    International German Blu-ray Of COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT (1970)

    Also check out Caps-a-holic. The sharpness is entirely artificial - just a healthy dose of edge enhancement - and it has clearly been massively DNRed. Compared to the almost VHS-like DVD it may look good, but otherwise it's typical old Universal-tripe, not unlike Tremors. :(

    Maybe he's just wrong, like he was about Back to the Future and Elizabeth and Coppola's Dracula. It happens.

    A PEEK AT FANTASTIC PLANET

    These discussion are utterly pointless. One poster could be watching this on an ISF calibrated screen, another on a TV set to "dynamic" mode - and the movie will look radically different. You guys understand this, right?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Apollo 13 (Take 2) -- in Blu-ray

    No, the HD-DVD is superior to the 15th Ann. BD. http://www.caps-a-holic.com/c.php?d1=598&d2=597 Actually I even prefer its more muted colours to the new BD.

    The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (4k Remastered Blu-ray) Single Available for Preorder

    As long as not everyone is watching these BDs via ISF calibrated screens/projectors (or have various degrees of colour blindness - supposedly some 5% of the population), these discussions are pretty pointless. If your TV is set to "torch" mode, the BD will look radically different from the way...

    "Registration issues" have been mentioned a couple of times in this thread. Could someone explain what that means?

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (Domestic release) -- in Blu-ray

    I agree. It's not horrible, but there's definitely something off about it. The grain looks like it's moving around on top of the image instead of being part of it. (This was the Danish/German BD.)

    Without having looked at it (still waiting for the disc to arrive), I would imagine that it is similar to what is demonstrated here (skip to 5:20): (And check out the rest of his videos - they're pretty good.)

    Man, this already looks like one of my favourite movies ever. :) Oh, and here's an annotated trailer.

    Oh yeah, the music's good too. I need an isolated score/sound effects track.
