Here's the deal with the Academy Awards, IMHO: the nominations are what matter rather than the winner. Because the noms are chosen by the artists in said field. For example, editors choose the nominees for editing. One hopes they know their stuff. And really care about getting it right. The...

Crud. Sorry about that.

Well said, Robert. And it's not just you. There's research that notes color memory isn't remotely accurate. Check out this article from one of The Digital Bits contributors: https://www.patreon.com/posts/single-least-in-100006052 (Hopefully the article, which I got from a Patreon account with...

Visually stunning (Storaro). Great score (Ryuichi Sakamoto). Whether you'll love it is harder to say. I found it very affecting. But I'm sure some roll their eyes.

Surprisingly moving movie, fine performance by Rourke. Ellen Barkin has some major fun chewing the scenery. And great soundtrack by Ry Cooder! Thanks Kino! Can't wait to pick up this one.

DD shouldn't be the only option. There should be a lossless track on there (Dolby TrueHD).

$13.99 at Best Buy. How good do we have it today? 4K HDR of a classic for about as much as a hot dog and fries. Absolutely love it.

Sam, this is from 2008. The tweeter is in effect saying it's been a long time since these pictures were taken. This year is the 76 edition of the festival, note the 61 in the photo. Sorry mate!

JoshZ, I’m an idiot. A bit later in this thread I sent out the exact same link to the Movie Censorship comparison page. Didn’t mean to double up. I need to read more carefully I guess! Be well.

For those wondering about differences between release and DC... https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=835082

Anyone watch this? Interesting and informative.

Same quote should be used for the recent and long-awaited release of "Big Night" on the blu-ray format. Absolutely disgusting transfer, not one s&%t given by the studio, this even after the success of Stanley Tucci's CNN doc where he travels to Italy to sample local cuisine.

Hmm...HFR sets my teeth on edge. Pretty sure you would've noticed though (considering your Avatar experience) so fingers crossed it remains 24fps.

Tino, is it in HFR or 24fps?

Definitely go with the PowerBridge. I've installed dozens. Work great. PS: as has been pointed out, running a cord inside a wall is against fire code. Good luck!

IMHO, it's not your TV and it's not you. I really think Mr. Mann did a disservice to this film by gutting the color saturation and making it so dim. To me, at least, LA screams vibrancy and color. (Which was how the film was originally graded. Well, at least way more vibrant and colorful than...

Agree that inventory is thin. However, my local BB definitely has a bunch of Denons and Sonys available in the AVR section. So not a total loss. If one has a BB with a Magnolia (I don't), it's a totally different story. Was in one the other day. High end AVRs, speakers from Martin Logan and...

Psycho, stay strong with your plan! HT Forum upgrade comments are like hitting a crack pipe! While I agree that an AVR with a load of passive speakers and a sub or two is the ultimate (that's my rig in the basement), there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with a nice Sonos Arc/Sub/pair of OneSLs...

You don't need to worry about the pre-pro mentioned in ManW's post. He's using separated to power passive speakers most likely. Sonos doesn't need nor can it support outside amplification. The amps are built into each product (they're active rather than passive). So you're all good in terms of...

These two pictures were of Edens #1. Despite the funky architecture (looks like a Star Destroyer), inside was pretty traditional movie palace with balcony, screen curtains, etc. That particular screen looks masked for a Euro 1.66:1 or something. Definitely bigger at 1.85:1 or 2.35:1. That said...

Big Night (1996; dir. Campbell Scott & Stanley Tucci) The Good Thief (2002; dir. Neil Jordan) Little Buddha (1993; dir. Bernardo Bertolucci)

That picture looks incredibly bright for DV on OLED. Please note (and if you know excuse me for being presumptuous) that when DV engages on an LG OLED, one can choose one of 4-5 DV picture modes. From that photo it looks like you're on vivid or standard. Both of which are far far from...

Apropos to nothing, Criterion blu-rays seem to be about 50% off on Amazon right now. I just picked up Topsy Turvy and The Grand Budapest Hotel for like $20 each.

Re: "at launch anymore," I really need to learn to read more carefully. My bad!

Understood. But look at it this way: $25 is so cheap you could keep BTTF1 and use the other disks as drink coasters, the latter probably more cost effective than buying actual coasters!

Holy cow, thanks for the heads up. My old digital copies upgraded to 4K so I wasn't going to buy this physical set but at $25? Too good to pass up, order just placed!

Dude, you just can't stop yourself can you? ("suggest both equals...pretty foolish," "padded rewritten mess," "ITH...a better film in every category when compared to WSS.") Good lord above, we understand you thought the 2021 version was a steaming pile of dog feces. However, a bunch of us on...

Any chance the 3 Color French releases have english subtitles?

I ranked Bond songs using a complicated algorithm on my movie blog. Take a gander and see if you agree: http://theconflictedfilmsnob.com/2019/02/01/ranked-every-james-bond-theme-song-pt-1/
