That always reminded me of the promo for The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb - "Half-bone, half-bandage, and all blood-curdling horror!"

You make many valid points - and clearly how Big Business "thinks" - especially these times. However, the issue with 'playing safe' is the result(s) rarely yield anything but mediocrity. Ryan Seacrest... ho-hum... who cares. It's doubtful had Merv been alive, and had say-so in the decision...

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a gross understatement. May as well cash-in now, while the ever-increasing number of multi-billionaires is still around to 'feel better about themselves', as they show-off their toys to their friends... who care.

WAC has done an incredible job with this title. It really is a lovely thing to watch.

You can always use a Felston DD740 Digital Audio Delay, or equal.

I'm trying to remember just exactly how it was done in the world of professional theatrical draperies. Obviously, depending on the amount of curvature, it will naturally force the 'backside of the curve' downward. I have to assume the curved pipe was rigged overhead from multiple loft blocks...

If your Harmony remote uses a hub, you could assign the control of one player to Mini Blaster A, and the other player to Mini Blaster B. Obviously, you'd have to isolate each mini blaster's IR transmission range so there wasn't any 'spillover' to the other machine, etc. (And depending on the...

I think Paramount had a slightly different definition back in the 1950's for the "Golden Ratio: 1.85

This is indeed a 'beauty of a disc'. What looked good on the DVD, now looks quite wonderful. Warner Archive has done it again. For those who already own the DVD, it's definitely worth a trade-up. And if you don't already own this film - what are you waiting for-??!! It's just a wonderful...

I believe you can place the blame on most of the "house cleaning" at Fox at Marvin Davis' feet.

Sometime back in the late 1970's, we (LACMA - Los Angeles County Museum of Art) had reason to run Treasure Island - and for the life of me, I can't remember what film series it was tied to. Anyway, Disney sent over a relatively-new CRI print (ouy vey-!) for us to project. A quick look, just...

The MyHarmony app wants to use Silverlight. And although it's a nuisance with the number of updates it requires (probably around once every two or three weeks) I've had no issues with it.

Aha-! That's what we like to hear-!! "I'm not a computer programmer, nor do I play one on TV", but I've been told there are only so many truly 'great ones' to go around - which leaves the rest to take-up the slack. Whether that's what's at the root of the (sometimes) oddities which give...

Raul- In my experience, two minutes is waaaay too fast for a reset. Clearly something is amiss. Try this little exercise. On either your Macbook or iMac, open MyHarmony. When it opens before logging-in, simultaneously press: Function - Option - F9, which will bring up this screen -...

Raul- I can feel your pain-! I have two Ultimates - one regular and one Home, and I love them both - when they work - which, honestly, is about 99.7% of the time. The 'downtime' usually revolves around an unsuccessful update - either thru a Harmony update, or a change I initiated. When...

I can't speak to the jump-back feature for the Tivo, but most-definitely the Hub has one hell-of-an IR blaster, that for many set-ups negates the need to use either of the two Mini-Blasters, provided with the Elite.

Of course, you're correct. But my memory of running many, many Technicolor IB prints - and especially those from Disney - is that Technicolor would print 'hard matte' frame lines at the intended projection aspect ratio - even if the camera aperture was set at 1.33, or even full frame -...

I'm sure when films (and I mean motion picture film) played in many a movie theatre it was probably hit or miss as to whether a film's intended image actually was projected. No doubt in many cases (especially with CinemaScope, etc.), aperture plates and squeeze ratios were 'fudged' to either...

Comparing the two versions does seem a mixed bag. It strikes me as if some scenes play better (color-wise) in one version than the other. The real mystery to me is Disney's (long-ago) obsession with presenting their 1953 and beyond, non-anamorphic releases in some other aspect ratio besides...

No offense intended - honest. If the truth be told, I actually debated a bit before including that line in my comment for the very reason you mentioned. I just felt it was stated innocuously-enough as to not cause any ruffled feathers. Although this is my first comment, I have been following...

Huh-? I didn't see that at all. I own both Pollyanna & Old Yeller. Both BD titles appear to have properly-set saturation levels. (Sounds like a display mis-adjustment issue to me). In fact, I might argue in a couple of scenes in Pollyanna the saturation may be just a 'tad' hot.
