El dia de la bestia quickly became one of my all time faves, I’m really glad it’s back out there for more eyes to see.

checkplease posted:Is the final cut of apocalypse now the best cut? Or simply what’s available now? I actually have yet to sit down and watch all of apocalypse now, so haven’t kept up with the various versions. Another vote for the theatrical version, so good. codyclarke posted:If anyone's taking advantage of the Synapse sale over at MVD going on right now, I highly recommend Jim Wynorski's Sorceress. My second favorite of his after Chopping Mall. Very Vinegar Syndrome kind of movie. Right on, so many nutty entertaining gems from Jim. Deathstalker 2, Sorority House Massacre 2, and Hard to Die are too good.

Yes, Happy Lawrence Day to all those who have been holding out all this time. As someone who's had the UHD for a while already, I still feel better that it's gonna be available individually now because I've been paranoid that my copy would get a scratch on it or something and I'd never be able to replace it.

Last time I watched LoA was in 70mm at the MoMI so I'm super hyped to own this.

It should be there when I get home today. I almost wanna force my GF to watch it tonight even though she's not a big fan of 2 hours movies let alone 4 hour epics. gently caress I love Lawrence, it's so beautiful. That's the worst part of modern cinema, no amazing sweeping vistas that aren't computer generated.

Drive My Car and Lamb both come to mind as very pretty movies with great vistas from last year. edit: Hell, even OLD was filmed at Playa El Valle in the Dominican Republic. Movies are thankfully not all CGI gloom right now. edit 2: DUNE was filmed in the same desert as Lawrence of Arabia, the Wadi Rum Valley of Jordan.

There's just something about watching a film like Lawrence and being totally secure in the knowledge that it's all real, they really went to those places to shoot scenes there. You're not deciphering what might be CG and what might not be, you know everything that was done was done in camera. I get the same feeling watching Aguirre.

I think it's also the film stock and the cameras too that give it a "this image is printed from real things onto real film stock with real analog cameras" visual tone that is hard to replicate with modern cameras these days. That's why projects like PTA's Inherent Vice are so visually cool, because they purposefully used old unused reels of film to give it a classic feel. And that's why I tend to buy older films on 4k instead of the new stuff. I liked how Suicide Squad looked, for instance, but I'm more curious abouthow, say, An American Werewolf in London or Gremlins looks with the 4k treatment.

just a time and place thing. studios just dont want to invest that kind of money anymore (its prohibitively expensive to shoot in locales nowadays and sometimes you just logistically cant do it in the genuine place because of real world poo poo happening) when the lowest common denominator project can either make back the budget or more. It's also just a trade off as well. There's a dearth of unified vision lately. The Batman was the last clear example of a unified vision of a production team and studio going "we have a plan in place and we're committed to a vision the creative team has set forth". I bring it up in my job a lot because I deal in the creative field, but there's a clear line where you can see money/marketing/brand interjecting their "creative" into things and not trusting the people with the vision or respecting it enough to let them loose. This lack of risk taking isnt just a problem in the movie industry its seeped into every form of entertainment.

I impulse bought The Living Dead At Manchester Morgue from Synapse films after seeing an ad for it. It just arrived, hope it lives up to my memories of watching a bootleg like 20 years ago.

Is The Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee worth a blind buy? It would be a true blind buy as I'm not familiar with any of the films included, but Severin has it at 60 bucks during the flash sale and for that price I'm willing to take a voyage of discovery.

Just got to the memorial sequence. The texture is insane. I can’t get over how good this looks. Gonna lose my poo poo when we get to the desert. Edit: Lawrence is getting the orders to leave Cairo. The uniforms! Every piece of these sets. I drat near could kiss David Lean. I’m so excited for this summer. Lots of great older movies.

Yea I was definitely struck by how much better those black funeral suits looked in the opening memorial scene. HDR really made a big difference for that scene.

I saw Lawrence on our small kitchen tv, then on Blu-ray, and now I’ll see it in 4K. I’ll see a 70mm showing one of these days too.

You're not deciphering what might be CG and what might not be, you know everything that was done was done in camera. I get the same feeling watching Aguirre. There's a shot of stars and another of the sun that are actually paintings because it would have been impossible to photograph otherwise. I think another shot is a painting where flashes from shells exploding can be seen behind a mountain range. Probably less than ten seconds. Basebf555 posted:As of August the only Kubricks left without a UHD will be Barry Lyndon, Lolita, and Eyes Wide Shut. Does Criterion still have the rights to Barry Lyndon? 99% certain Criterion will do Lolita this year and Barry Lyndon will get an upgrade. Eyes Wide Shut could be a toss-up between Criterion and Warner directly. Kino has also said they're open to releasing Fear and Desire on UHD if it meant making Kubrick's filmography UHD-complete. tonedef131 posted:What happened to that 4k Army of Darkness Shout announced like two years ago? Figured that would be out by now. Might be to coincide with a UK release through Arrow or StudioCanal. The rights are split between Universal (North American distribution, as well as US theatrical cut), MGM (international cut via DEG), and StudioCanal (worldwide ownership, non-NA distribution from DeLaurentiis library).

That panavision glass + 70mm film stock look...chefs kiss e: This is the type of thing that shines in a 4k or 8k scan, 70mm has that resolution so you get detail that is meant for giant rear end projection. I would probably buy just about anything actually shot in 70mm..well not you hateful eight and not you phantom thread, but anything else. Hell I'll even extend that to anything shot entirely on an imax65/alexa 65, etc . This is why UHD should exist zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Jun 7, 2022 |

It's almost an extra cruel joke that phantom thread exists in UHD...and I actually forgot the 70mm showings of that were just a 35mm blowup..not sure why I thought he actually shot 70mm. I would instant buy most of his library on UHD...anyone know what's up with him and the format?
