To add to that, Freddie Young makes You Only Live Twice a better movie than it has any right being.

So is it in synch on the old Laserdisc/DVD which didn't have true stereo music?

Probably what happened with The Exorcist at least.

I think this thread has run its course.

BTW I'm watching Part I in Dolby Vision* on Paramount+ right now. Blacks are good, but the fact that whites are now pure instead of cream is very off putting compared to the way I've seen it for years. *Disclaimer: Even though Roku just updated their OS today, Paramount+ still does not output...

"Kim Aubry, Projectionist ZAP’s founder and owner, is the former Vice President for Technology and Post Production at Francis Ford Coppola’s American Zoetrope in San Francisco. Prior to his 16 year collaboration with Coppola, Kim worked as a documentary film sound mixer, sound engineer and audio...

I'm sure Kim Aubrey will do a better job.

With all due respect that's the dumbest thing I've ever read Francis Ford Coppola claim to say. On top of the other dumb things he's done. ...like thinking Jack was a good idea for a movie.

"pays homage to RAH's earlier restoration"? I think you will find the 34 previous pages of this thread beg to differ.

It should be pointed out that before he developed the Univisium standard based off DaVinci's last supper, Storaro's 2.00:1 crops were originally based entirely off the idea that full 2.35 letterboxing had a lower resolution on standard 4:3 television screens. Therefore a ratio like 2:1 splitting...

Yeah but UHD Physical has already failed miserably with Joe Sixpack. You can see that in the massive divide in UHD Players sold vs. 4k televisions. So essentially Paramount has managed to piss off a large chunk of the real user base (film fans who exist entirely in the e-commerce bubble) in...

"I knew it was you Chris. You broke my heart."

Film mode is 24 FPS output, not fake grain.

If and when I'm buying this its likely going to be strictly for Coda.

I just feel its kinda insulting to Gordon Willis's memory that Paramount would just toss the version he approved of (one that could have easily been slapped on to UHD) in favor of a revisionist take. And its not even a particularly good take either.

Was basing that on this cap. https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x=409&y=156&d1=17251&d2=17089&s1=191145&s2=188292&l=0&i=9&go=1

So why is this restoration blue?

Its dark but its missing the yellow push that's been part of every home video release since 1997 at least on the Bonnasera clip. If that yellow is more accurate, that this HDR grade is botched full stop.

Maybe its darker if you have Dolby Vision? Maybe?!? They should totally get Dean Cundey to supervise the next transfer just for reaction sake.

Your name is not "Gary Tooze". Stop making this about you.

True but at least Caps-A-Holic's are slightly more valid than a certain OTHER website.

Aside from the (sure to be controversial) grading, there's very little difference in the image quality here. In fact I'd argue from these caps that a more recent blu-ray with a better encode would look almost exactly the same...
