Re: Last BD (or, unrealistically, HD DVD) you watched?

Taps (1981)
Very early work for Tom Cruise and Sean Penn. The BD replicates the movie well and the 4-track Dolby Digital is very authentic to the theatrical (4-track magnetic) sound. There's also a...

Re: Killing Eve (BBC America, AMC) -- S: Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer -- Premieres 4/8/18

The ending of S3 had me thinking where in the hell will they go with this next year.

Re: So what’s your particular reasons for buying physical over digital or nothing?

I'm getting over 600 Mbps, so no problems, except for banding, which is one of the anomalies of streaming. I can put up with it if it's something I really want to see now, but it has cut down on my...

Re: The last Blu-ray you bought (Round 3)

I finally got around to getting Superman: Motion Picture Anthology. The price was $54 and change, which was about half what it was going for when released. The original Dolby Stereo mix on the first...

Re: 2001: A Space Odyssey 4K UHD - 10/30/18

I've seen both the 70MM Unrestored print and the 4K IMAX DCP, and the color was the same, so no worries about revisionism. The UHD disc should be good.

re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread

Re: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind: 40th Anniversary

The best place near D.C. (just outside) to see film projected is the AFI Silver. I saw Dunkirk in 70mm at their main THX certified theater, and it is like it was back in the day, sound and picture....

Re: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind: 40th Anniversary

Joking maybe?
I pointed it out because if you see it in an "Atmos" theater, it's upmixed not a true Atmos mix. It would be in keeping with its original 70mm mix (hopefully).

Pro Audio Gear for Home Theater

I recently added a couple QSC SR-8101 surround speakers to my HT setup, replacing my old Mirage surrounds in a 5.1 configuration. I'm very pleased with these speakers, so I'm adding two more for 7.1....

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"

I just watched The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) on Encore, and was wondering why this isn't on Blu-ray in the US. It's available in Europe on BD. It's a very suspenseful story with fantastic...

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV

Mill Creek already released this in 2014, with improved AVC Codec (over the Sony 2007 MPEG-2 release), but was the same transfer. The Sony had a lossless 5.1, but the 2014 Mill Creek only had DD 2.0!...

Re: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly- New Remaster w/ both cuts this Summer 2017!

I've looked over most of this release and can say it could be the version to get, but only for the casual movie fan. The more savvy videophiles will no doubt have trouble with this one. It seems to...

re: The One and Only Kino Lorber Blu-ray Thread

I can't say I'm surprised that Kino's Krakatoa - East of Java is from 35mm reduction elements, but I can say it's a shame.
This Super Panavision film does not have the reputation to warrant a full...

Re: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly- New Remaster w/ both cuts this Summer 2017!

I thought it was nice to have, but I was too used to the original U.S. cut. My favorite version is in the MGM Trilogy LD Box. I think it's closest to the original, which I saw on a triple bill in the...

Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks

Ok, thanks. I had to go find that quote from Cameron about the Blu-rays coming, and I see that was already a year ago!:confused:

Re: True Lies & The Abyss Blus in 2014, plus The X-Files & Twin Peaks

I thought The Abyss was supposed to be out by now. There's a new(?) HD cable version out there of the short version, which looks good. Are they doing a new scan, or is something else holding it up?

Re: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly- New Remaster w/ both cuts this Summer 2017!

I'm no where near as bothered by the MGM 4K color as what I've read elsewhere. There are a few spots where the yellow does seem a little heavy, not sure why that is, but for the most part it looks...

Re: Last DVD you watched?

Total Recall Special Edition. I really enjoy the huge (1.85:1) 20th Century Fox Fanfare intro. Very loud, and the bass drum is massive!
I've seen a lot more original 1.85:1 movies in that aspect...

Re: What's The Latest DVD You Bought (Part VII)

It brought back the early days of DVD to me with all the extra content,...

Re: THE THING: 2-Disc Collector's Edition -9/20/16

I hope they adhere to the 70mm six track mix layout. Outland (1981) Blu-ray had a very good 5.1 re-purposing of the 70mm (blowup) Megasound soundtrack mix. Also, Logan's Run Blu-ray is another good...
