What was this tweet about? Seems to have been removed.

Richard Dreyfuss' son was joking that Quint killed Ben Gardner and not the shark.

Apparently there's a new Jaws UHD Box set being released in Europe in Sept. Sold out already along with the Jaws 2 box that is coming out in July. Anyone know if there's any difference in the transfer of Jaws from the initial UHD release?

IMO zero chance it's different.

Initial 8k release. Players should arrive in Europe mid-Sept. ‘Bout time, as 4k is almost impossible to distinguish particles of film base from dye clusters.

And yet is anything more ridiculous than the world's first 16K TV (with a pathetic contrast ratio)? https://gizmodo.com/110-inch-16k-big-screen-tv-china-chinese-television-ai-1850474588

I've said it before-I'll say it again:
You cannot see 8K unless your TV is 160" or bigger. This is not an opinion- this is science!

Doesn’t matter to me. I have Jaws on every home format it was ever released on. From Super 8 Sound to UHD. If they were to put it out in 32K I would want it.

That was the one format I missed went with Laser Disc instead.

Also Jaws doesn't even have 4k worth of picture resolution anyway.

35mm film can resolve well beyond 4K... sometimes up to 6K.
(I get this info from actual DPs, rather than some guy on YT. (No offense)).

MCA DiscoVision?

35mm film resolves up to 6K.

Maybe in 8-perf Vistavision in the most pristine condition but not a 4-perf Panavision film made with 1970s lenses and processed with 1970s photochemicals.

You must be new here.

Unfortunately, even filmmakers and DPs can buy into the myth of film's magical infinite analog resolution. (Hello, Christopher Nolan!) In reality, very few 35mm films have as much as 4K effective resolution.

The abundance of movies with 4K masters scanned from pristine OCNs that have little to no discernable improvement in actual picture detail over their comparable 1080p Blu-ray editions should speak to that.

I agree. The only time I will upgrade for some of these is because it’s a brand new transfer or if the color grading is better. Otherwise, there are some older films I’m plenty happy with in Blu-Ray. The HDR and Dolby vision k prove ents On my way! I to play as well For some films.

It was 0n my phone and I didn’t check it before being sent. I hate (sometimes) when it assumes what I want to say vs. What I do say nd I hate the small keyboard (sometimes) as well plus my fumbling fingers.
