Empress Brosephine posted:When they call each other fag The thing about The Warriors is that it's the gayest movie I've ever seen after Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Ajax calling someone a human being is really just part of the narrative of them all being closeted homosexuals. In his case he was the self hating kind. It's no coincidence that he's hauled right out of the movie when he makes advances towards a woman.

February Twilight Time: Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? Bedazzled Talk Radio Also, it's rumored Shout! Factory might have the Miramax/Weinstein library now because they just announced a big box set of Robert Rodriguez films. The Mariachi Trilogy is with Sony, but the rest are with Miramax or Weinstein Co.

According to some Google-Fu, Paramount currently hold the rights. The last time the non Directors cut was released was the DVD back in 2001. Don’t know who’s working with Paramount right now, but I’d love to see Arrow or Shout take a crack at a special edition. Edit: Actually, after doing more research it doesn’t look like Paramount licenses much to anyone. I found a few Criterion releases, but not much else. That’s a library waiting to be explored.

Don’t know who’s working with Paramount right now, but I’d love to see Arrow or Shout take a crack at a special edition. Paramount has been weird about licensing for years. Shout! Factory was only able to license The Duellists years ago and it's been out of print for a while since it was apparently a short-lived deal as a favor to Ridley Scott. Criterion has licensed only 25 films from Paramount since 2007 - 14 of which never had a DVD or Blu release by Paramount directly. Meanwhile, nearly the entire Republic/Spelling/NTA library has been licensed to Kino Lorber and Olive Films since 2014 resulting in hundreds of releases. Both have also issued way more than 25 titles of just Paramount films never before released on DVD or Blu-ray. Apparently, the deal with Kino and Olive is only for titles Paramount never released themselves on DVD with only a few exceptions. Kino has even over a dozen silent films from Paramount. Ironic thing is that Universal owns the 1929-1949 Paramount library (it was sold to MCA in the 50s) and Criterion has released 19 films from that batch of films in addition to 30-40 actual Universal films since 1999. It's kind of a pity because there's a ton of Paramount films released on DVD that are still MIA. Just of films I'm interested in, there's The Elephant Man, Popeye, Diabolik, The Court Jester, War of the Worlds '53, The Errand Boy (and the rest of Jerry Lewis' 50s and 60s films), Hud, Targets, Catch-22, Play It Again Sam, Paper Moon, Murder on the Orient Express '74, The Tenant, and Ordinary People.

I knew you’d come in with all the answers. I was wondering why Paramount is tight with their licenses, but then realized they were a Viacom subsidiary and it all made sense. Oh well, at least they tend to put out high quality releases in house.

Stink Billyums posted:The gangs are almost entirely played by Broadway actors/dancers too. I didn't know that, but it makes so much sense. The movie is absolutely dripping with homoeroticism. One of the big fight scenes takes place in a men's room (in the loving 70s). It's gay. It's very gay. I saw some MAGA chud wearing a Warriors t-shirt recently and things like that crack me up.

Even the female gang is lesbians. The boys constantly complain about the Rosario Dawson look alike, the only hetero female, coming with them too. Love that movie. Watched it not too long ago with my son, he also enjoyed it.

I always assumed it was a reference to Lizzie Borden, who was rumoured to have had an illicit affair with a maid at her household before she chopped her family to bits.

Iron Crowned posted:I wish this wasn't Mill Creek I'm going to walk this one back a little, but not all the way. I bought the VHS slipcover of Happy Birthday to Me on a whim. The transfer looks fine. I would like it a lot better if it was $2.50 cheaper as it is literally just the movie, no menus or even chapters. For a Horror movie I'd never heard of there are worse things I could have spent $7.50 on. Also, it's amusing to have Mary from Little House on the Prairie in a slasher.

Would HDR help a b&w movie at all? It's download-only, but It's a Wonderful Life is now available in 4K HDR (Dolby Vision). Not sure why it didn't get a physical release since it's from a new restoration from the camera negative. Also, Schindler's List is coming out in a few weeks on UHD with Dolby Vision.

I've never finished something at 8k, but I was working with 8k red footage already shot at a 7:1 compression the other day and it was over 1.3TB per hour. So you'd still be looking at hundreds of GB for a 10bit film to look halfway decent streamed. Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Dec 3, 2018 |

There's literally no point to 8K as a presentation format, except for maybe IMAX. I can see 8K monitors being good for graphics and computer use, but 4K accurately captures detail you'd see in a 70mm print let alone a direct camera negative transfer. Even six years ago, Lawrence of Arabia projected in 4K DLP looked sharper and more detailed than a new IMAX 15/70 print. Here's the films scanned in 8K so far: Gone with the Wind (35mm Technicolor) The Wizard of Oz (35mm Technicolor) Oklahoma! (65mm Todd-AO 30fps) Rebel Without a Cause (35mm CinemaScope) Ben-Hur (65mm Ultra Panavision) North by Northwest (VistaVision) The Leopard (Technirama) Lawrence of Arabia (65mm) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (65mm Ultra Panavision - general release cut only) My Fair Lady (65mm) The Sound of Music (65mm) Doctor Zhivago (35mm Panavision) The Bible... In the Beginning (65mm) Doctor Dolittle (65mm) 2001: A Space Odyssey (65mm) Hello Dolly (65mm) Tron (6K for 35mm/VistaVision sequences) Baraka (65mm) Samsara (65mm) Many primarily 35mm films have been scanned at 4K/6K with effects scanned at 8K-11K like films with IMAX sequences (like Blade Runner and M:I Ghost Protocol).

We're pretty much at the end stage of transfer quality improvement. Good thing for the studios that streaming and the death of physical media came along, so in the future they'll be able to charge people for access to their libraries in perpetuity.

Yeah, 4K already seems like more than enough quality. Honestly, why keep going up from there? The difference has gotta be imperceptible to the human eye, and if 4K Blu-Rays aren't flying out the door, why would 8K?

The resolution is really the least important aspect of what they've done with UHD, at least for me. Sure, the bump in resolution is nice, but really what I like about the format is they've (mostly) taken the necessary lessons from certain blu ray releases and made real efforts to maintain the natural feel of movies that were shot on film. So you get some extra sharpness, you get a very noticeable improvement in the deepness and variety of color from HDR/Dolby Vision, and all while still watching something that feels like it was made during the era it was actually made. So for me it's a total package that makes the format worthwhile, just simply upping the resolution again isn't going to change much in my opinion.

Amazon has the deluxe White Album set for $95 right now. No video content, but it does have hi-res 92Khz stereo, mono, and 5.1 mixes on a Blu-ray. Also, the price of Kino’s Pioneers: Early Women Filmmakers Art is down to $64. Almost 24 hours of pre-1930 cinema from new 2K and 4K transfers.

Shout are starting to announce March titles with Man’s Best Friend and Warning Sign. They’re kinda “whatever” but Warning Sign is a Fox title. I don’t think Fox and Shout worked much before, or if they did it’s been a while. Hoping this is part of a larger deal.

They released Phantom of the Paradise a while ago and Return of the Fly was in the second Vincent Price set, plus all the MGM library stuff has been through them. I think the reason why there hasn't been a lot of actual Fox titles is because Kino Lorber and Twilight Time grabbed most of the horror/genre films. Also, on that note, Kino has another sale and it's one of their best of the year so far: https://www.klstudioclassics.com
