BUT I LIKE IT WHEN THEY LOOK LIKE FAT MIDGETS It's true that there's no non-amamorphic Blu-rays but squished 4:3 content is just as annoying as pan-scan (depending on how belligerent your relatives/friends are about it). caiman posted:Silent Era --> Sound Era --> Nolan Era. brb, writing wiki article on post-nolan filmmaking

I've found that your average person largely doesn't give a poo poo about any of this stuff and that a lot of people who've adopted the blu-ray format just did so because "it's the new thing".

Read Point Blank was on sale and got excited thinking it was the other Point Blank (38 B.N.). I'd love for that movie to be on bluray.

So as far as I'm concerned, July 31, 1970 is actually January 1st, 0001. It will be nice to have Christmas2 (aka Nolanmas) right near Independence Day.

I think I read something about a German DVD but I won't hold my breath. I don't blame Criterion, they'd probably be taking a huge bath on any halfway decent release. I know they took a sizable hit for The Human Condition. I wonder if anybody's ever suggested the idea of a Kickstarter to them.

Unfortunately HMV Canada doesn't carry it, but at least our cover art is nicer than the US one. Anybody pick up Contagion this week? It doesn't have a Soderbergh commentary which sucks because I always enjoy them.

I noticed this triple feature of The Searchers, The Wild Bunch, and How The West Was Won blu-ray is out now. This is a fantastic collection of classic westerns. The Searchers is probably in my top 5 favorite movies period. The Searchers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI2AZb04HAc  Just look at those incredible wide landscape shots in technicolor--they are a treat in HD. The Wild Bunch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOTkmO23k7I How The West Was Won https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RQbcUP8PO0 A glorious super widescreen Cinerama classic with an incredible cast (John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck), and fantastic score.

How the West Was Won is a surprising film. I was expecting it to be a bloated mess, but it's incredibly entertaining. The cinematography is mind-blowing, top-notch cast, and there's even a few musical numbers. I'm wondering if the triple-feature release uses the Smilebox version. I can't say the "flat" Cinerama transfer is very effect since it's about 2.90:1 and only the curved version corrects geometry as you would see in a theater. The audio mix is great, too. Cinerama used a 7-channel magnetic system that required everything to be recorded in 7-track. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jan 5, 2012 |

Yeah I'm really curious myself, I hope it has both versions or at least the smile box version. I actually got to see How The West Was Won this summer in a real Cinerama theater in it's original 3 projector glory. Let me tell you the experience was jaw dropping.
