A Few Words About The Searchers in 4k UHD (1 Viewer)

[The Killer Meteor]

Ah! I wasn't aware he'd found a new home. I assume "a different forum" is that different forum?

The Svet one?

 

[haineshisway]

Yes, the Svet one. It's just what you'd expect from over there. Lots of damaged slipcases "I've returned five copies because it had a scratch on it" - people are wacko about this stuff. Then one person posts that the color is lackluster and instantly you get people chiming in that they've cancelled their orders. Richard W. shows up on page 39 - you're welcome.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't participate in the forums "over there."

Wicked is very much a modern "theatre kids" production. If you weren't a theatre kid in the 80s and beyond, or had theatre kids during this period, Wicked likely isn't for you. I enjoyed it, but because of the above proviso [my kids were theatre kids during the 00s and 10s, so Wicked was well known].

I suspect you meant to post this in the - Wicked - thread

Yep. Whoops.

He's always been a pain. He used to troll horror forums back in the 00s having proto-incel rants about James Bond's boss being a woman.

You can tell it's coming from the Archive rather than from the regular Warner label because the cover art isn't some gaudy Photo Shop job. Very nice!

Thank you WAC for not releasing this as a $70 steelbook with “special” limited edition cartoon cover art

There better not be frozen grain halos and noise reduction in the audio like the Searchers release

So, it's not very good?
What is frozen grain halos? I googled it but can't find anything. Any screenshots (even from another blu-ray) to see what are we talking about here?
Also, pity about the noise reduction..

I’m sorry but there’s nothing wrong with The Searchers 4K/UHD.

Frozen grain can be a thing, haloing can be a thing, but ne'er the twain shall meet. Unless that person is referring to so-called sticky grain, or magnetic grain, which can follow objects in motion.

In any event, "frozen grain" of any kind isn't an issue with The Searchers.

Woah not so fast Robert. I'm in my mother's basement analyzing the grain structure frame by frame with a magnifying glass and will get back to you.

With apologies. I believe I’m the source of the frozen and magnetic grain verbiage.

I’m certain that High Society will look as bad as N x NW and Searchers. And some will have a field day discussing the dupes. Why do we need dupes in 2025?

I do hope at least the soundtrack won't get the treatment The Searchers got.

Oh no, duped again!

Sticky grain in MPI restorations is sadly a very common occurrence. Very frustrating.
