I was finally able to update my online collection, so so far so good!

In essence, isn't Techniscope really just a non-anamorphic version of the Cinemascope Technicolor process? I can see how there would be a difference, but I'm with you, I've never had a problem with it.

I don't think things are 100% yet. I tried to update my online profile and it said there was an unexpected error.

This film is cinematic poetry. Can't wait for the 4k release.

Also Governor Breck from the hugely underrated Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (particularly the superior director's cut)

Film doesn't involve pixels and it can resolve much finer detail and RGB resolutions than even 4K digital. Some have argued that to fully capture the full resolution of film you would need 8K. Mind you, for many films, this is possible with 4K. I'm no expert, but that is the way I see it.

There were numerous movie references in Barbie to other films (2001, of course), but did anyone else notice the visual reference to Tati's Playtime?

IMO, the Criterion release is worth it over the Kino for the Charles Laughton Directs the Night of the Hunter feature alone

E.T.: We'll always have Paris.

I think the Scotty Apple IIe scene works great. The only reason it wouldn't work is if you demand absolute scientific accuracy and realism from your science fiction at all times. The whole point of the scene is to take a 23rd century engineer and put him in a 20th century world. The "realism" of...

I have the 30 film Blu-ray Universal Monster Collection and that will do me fine. That, and I don't have a 4k display/receiver etc. But even if I did, I don't know if I would upgrade.

All the mention of Claudia Cardinale, Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Woody Strode but not a single mention of the heart of this brilliant film, Jason Robards. Tsk tsk tsk. (No mention of Jack Elam as well, or the greatest performance by a fly in cinama history, but thats wnother thing)

nooooooooooo!!!

I am reminded of seeing Jaws 3D in the theaters on release way back when. It was pretty terrible, but at least some of the 3D was ok. I remember this particularly because after it was over, we ran into some other friends who were there. One of them said the whole thing was stupid, it didn't look...

Just to add a not so unrelated comment here. I am reminded of the time in the early 2000's when large numbers of people I knew couldn't see the difference between DVD and Blu-ray/HD DVD, or said that you can't tell the difference between SD and HD from a reasonable distance. These same people...

Yup, DVD Profiler appears to be up and running again!

Invelos site is still down for me, and DVD Profiler won't connect either

Same with Blazing Saddles on TV.

I stand corrected. I have no knowledge of this film. I am very often wrong, and this was no exception. My point still stands though :D

Let me give you my take on the Blazing Saddles farting scene. The scene is not "funny" because it's a bunch of guys sitting around a campfire farting after eating beans. The scene is "funny" because of the combination of a few factors: 1: Cowboys in films for decades were known for eating...

I was born in 1962. We had two channels on the TV, and had to use a 30 foot antenna to get those and got cable when I was in high school, giving us 7 channels. I watched any movie from any time period and had little choice in what was offered. One things for sure... I never EVER judged a movie...

I have a 2400 movie collection (small by many people's standard, I'm sure), but I never ever considered their monetary value when buying them, only the quality of the transfers, and mainly the ability to watch them whenever I wanted. I have no desire to sell them and I have no idea whatsoever...

I can confirm that the John Waters commentary on this is excellent. I have the Mommie Dearest: Hollywood Royalty DVD and I always watch it with the commentary now. He makes the valid point that while everyone quotes the "no wire hangers...EVER" scene gets all the memes, the real winner is the...

The scene where Merrick is invited to Dr. Treve's house for dinner and cries upon meeting his wife. The line "I'm not used to being treated so well by a beautiful woman" gets me every single time. What a deeply powerful scene. I saw this film in the theater upon release and it has never left me.

Man, what an HD drought we've had to go through for just to get Elephant Man on Blu-ray in NA. And to get a Criterion release at that? Immediate purchase.

RAH this has been discussed before I'm sure, but the moire artifacts in Cary's shirt early in the movie are pretty much always going to be an issue, right? Is there any way to correct it?

His performance in The Stuntman is possibly my favorite of his, but he was competing with Robert De Niro in Raging Bull that year so....

Sadly, I have to report an error in the original post. Peter O'Toole had been nominated 8 times, but criminally, never, ever won an Oscar.

Jim Carrey completely lifted his Scrooge from Alistair Sim. Completely.

Robert, do these Blu-rays contain the hilarious audio commentaries that were present on the past DVD's? It would be a shame if they weren't because they are very funny and very informative.
