And when it’s Elvis they will ask for even more than they normally would.

King Creole was not shot in VistaVision. Loving You has been remastered/restored in a 4k scan, as has King Creole. I’d like to see Paramount reissue King Creole as a 4k disc. We have the 1080p Blu-ray from the 4k scan (which is a available on Apple TV+ and iTunes) but no physical 4k. The...

Regarding Rio Bravo - this was never offered. Elvis was drafted in March 1958 and discharged in March 1960. He was stationed in Germany while Rio Bravo was in production.

Can the cube work like a universal remote control that can turn on/off multiple components (tv, BluRay player and stereo receiver) with a push of one button like a harmony remote from Logitech?

“Multiple components “ I’m referring to the tv, BluRay player and stereo receiver.

Thank You for confirming If I were to keep the fire tv cube I’m just doubling up on access to the same streamers. Does it act in any way to turn on the multiple components? I loved the Logitech Harmony remotes, unfortunately there are several buttons on mine that no longer work, hence why I’m...

Thank You. Another question. I bought an Amazon fire tv cube thinking it would act as a universal voice remote. I have a smart tv that gives me access to the streaming apps and my 4k BluRay has access to the same apps. So I don’t think I need it. Do I? I still need a universal remote, would...

Naive question- my 4k BluRay has hdmi arc out and a digital optical out. My Receiver has hdmi arc in and digital audio in - do I connect both?

Would someone be kind enough to explain why there is two versions of Marty at 1.37:1 and 1.85:1 please? Was it released theatrically in both aspect ratio? Or were we just used to it on TV in 1.37:1.

From Elvis Presley's filmography I think Warner can only release his work from MGM, Allied Artists, United Artists, and National General Pictures. They don't have the rights to his 20th Century Fox, Paramount or Universal titles. This doesn't make his best films available, that are not on...

I first remember seeing Isabel May in Young Sheldon, 1883 should make her a star. Her performance and narration was outstanding. As for the historical inaccuracies - it's not a documentary.

Hi Bob can you tell me if I have any AR errors in my list of Elvis Presley films please? Love Me Tender 20th Century Fox 1956 2.35:1 (shot at 2.55:1, soundtrack reduces AR to 2.35:1) Loving You Paramount 1957 1.85:1 (Shot with VistaVision Camera, Protected at 1.66:1. Composed to 1.85:1.)...

Hi Bob could you clear up SHANE for me please. the BluRay is 1.37:1 but I've read that when released it was projected at a wider ratio, 1.66:1 (which is released on a region B BluRay.) what ratio is the proper one to view this glorious film in?

do i assume the upcoming Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with Fredric March and the recently released remake with Spencer Tracy are both restored, scanned at 4k?

For the life of me i can't find any Academy Award nominations for Back To The Beach. Am I missing something?

This review from the New Yorker at the link I find misses the film completely. The author is not reviewing what’s on the screen but is reviewing a film that doesn’t exist. https://www.thecut.com/2021/12/west-side-story-is-not-for-puerto-ricans-like-me.html I am an older white Male Canadian. I...

West Side Story (2021) The 1961 film has been my favorite Broadway musical film adaptation for most of my life. Yes, it’s got problematic casting but we really didn’t think about Natalie Wood not being Puerto Rican when I first saw this in my teens. Over the years I’ve seen it 6-7 times, the...

You’re suggesting Spielberg retire? Are you insane?

For those who’ve seen either version of the film recently ( I’ve not seen my theatrical cut dvd in years and my roadshow vhs was stolen) is there any problematic performances or scenes that would be considered racially insensitive? If there are this would be a roadblock to release for Amazon/MGM.

It Happened at The World's Fair was Elvis's 12th film and the first under a new contract signed with MGM in January 1961. A “4 picture deal”, Elvis would receive $400,000 per picture plus $75,000 for expenses and $25,000 for musical expenses. The Colonel included a provision that once MGM...

It makes my head spin. For Redwind to complete the 4K scan and restoration without obtaining the music clearances first, seems out of step - backwards and in this case it bit them in the butt. Its' such a waste, the film is just sitting on a hard drive in pristine condition and no one can see...

would you be kind enough to contact them again to see if there has been any change on Loving You's status? what are the specific song clearences holding it up?

in Change of Habit (1969) they do not share any scenes together. the press release write up is a little too upbeat, this was a drama with a musical number over the titles, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end - just because it was Elvis. it is an overlooked, underappreciated drama...

was there any restoration done to this title? Can someone explain 4k up-rez please? I have the 2006 Warner DVD release of this title, is the BluRay a 1080p scan of the print used for this release? thank you

I take it you haven't seen "Harum Scarum", "Stay Away, Joe" or "Kissin' Cousins"?

this is with regard to the theatrical cut not the much longer directors cut, correct. That print is still rotting away?

Has there been any talk of scanning Fantastic Voyage into 4k and cleaning up the effects digitally to get rid of the grain and shimmer the composite effects cause on the BluRay transfer? Is that feasible?

Agree completely, it would be interesting to know why Curtiz didn't shoot in VistaVision. Budget concerns? artistic choice? As you said, we can enjoy a beautifully shot film in 4k and on BluRay in 2020. Now, if NBCUniversal would step up and release the 4k restoration of Loving You (1957)...

if it were VistaVision, hypothetically as I don't think it is, why would it not be advertised as such and carry the VistaVision trademark at the start of the film? In the 1950's widescreen period, for the studios, it was all about drawing the audience away from the TV and back to the Cinemas...
