I don't understand the modes, is it just switching to 24p from (hopefully) 60?

I could never figure it out either (taking the baked-in motion smoothing off on the PS5). Probably a Sony issue because my X-700 had that problem too until I switched the 24p conversion setting off.

Severin posted that they are screening Emanuelle in America the 15th of June at the Austin Film Society, and that their Emanuelle boxset, The Sensual World of Black Emanuelle, will be available for purchase that date. This means that the boxset will be on sale at their website around the same time. One of my most anticipated releases, and Severin has been honeydicking everyone with this set for at least two years, so I'm really excited to finally have it in my collection. It's a really good time right now if you like 70s / 80s extra sleazy extra demented sexploitation films, and the Black Emanuelle movies are top tier in that subgenre.

The modes are set by the TV HDR settings and tweak things like sharpness, color temp, edge sharpening and contrast. Most of the time you can set them by input but since you’ll be using the same input for movies and games on the PS5 you’ll probably have to toggle them manually. You can turn off the noise reduction and smoothing for blu ray playback on PS5 but it’s not in the system menu, you have to access it during playback. Hit the three lines button and an in-screen menu will pop up, I think they’re listed under advanced or something but the menu isn’t very big so you should be able to find it easily. Fortunately it remembers and you don’t have to do it ever again.

Yeah I have a TV with Roku as interface, and there are two separate settings I change when flipping between movies and games on my PS5. I don't think I've ever looked at settings like that on the system itself, thinking about it.

barnold posted:are there still lots of 4K sets out there that don't do per-input video settings? my LG C1 does so even if I had a standalone player rather than using my Series X, I wouldn't have to worry about disabling game mode because they'd never be connected to the same HDMI input i'm pretty sure my samsung 'the frame' doesn't have the ability to do this.

The Arrow release of The Long Good Friday turned up yesterday, just in time (along with their 4K release of the good Crash, which I've never seen). I saw it once, years ago, on TV and so all I could remember was the final shot, which I didn't even remember accurately anyway. A fantastic quality transfer and restoration, and really well shot with some inventive camera movements. A great look at 1979 London, and funny to see Hoskin's character comment on what slums certain London houses were, when these days they'd be going for £1 million easy. Also featured an early appearance of Pierce Brosnan.

I'm gonna split hairs here and go rogue as I like to do. David Lynch's Poltergeist would have hot film noir style women in tight dresses saying cool stuff, and a guy with a pompadour saying genuinly tight funny dialogue, and we'd have a cool jazzy soundtrack. I love David Lynch, and every offputting or weird movie getting compared to him never has the full Lynch package. Lynch movies rule, and I don't have much interest in Skindadink. Also I guess David Lynch's Poltergeist might have a ghost too, but that's not the point. The ghost would be really cool, he'd be into hot rods and stuff. There can be only one...

Tesh posted:Any Kino sale recommendations (any format)? Thinking about picking up Silence of the Lambs 4K and maybe a couple of the Kubrick 4Ks but I’m curious what hidden gems are in their huge sale Career Opportunities was one of my favorite movies growing up. Still love it. Early 90's department store perfection. Laws of Gravity is a super influential and very well acted low-budget movie from the early 90s that isn't really talked about today, but a bunch of directors made their first movie because of its existence, a la Linklater's Slacker. If you're into silents at all, Die Nibelungen is pretty spectacular. Underseen as compared to some other Fritz Lang movies, but no less great. On The Bowery is kind of like a proto The Wire / The Corner, focusing on drunks in a crappy part of NYC. Bend of the River is a steal at $6.99. Every Anthony Mann western rules. I don't even tend to like westerns much, but I like all of his. Beware the Blob is terrible but I did the captions for it. Heartbeeps is a movie that exists.

Some quick Kino recs: The Adventures of Prince Achmed (Milestone) - Groundbreaking, but still entertaining eaarly silent animated feature done entirely with silhouette cutouts. Has the original orchestral score (by Wolfgang Zeller, who scored Dreyer's Vampyr) Blackmail - Hitchcock's first talkie (and Britain's first), has both silent and talkie versions plus lots of extras. American Film Theatre (Filmed versions of plays with top-tier stars): Butley - One of my favorite from the series, Alan Bates plays a gay teacher. A Delicate Balance - Katharine Hepburn and Paul Scofield are great in this, same writer as Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf (Edward Albee) The Iceman Cometh - The best one, John Frankenheimer directs Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Fredric March, and Jeff Bridges. Has both the 4-hour cut (sourced from 35mm and 16mm) and the theatrical (35mm) version. In Celebration - Alan Bates and Brian Cox, directed by Lindsay Anderson Rhinoceros - Absurdist play starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. The Connection - Cool as gently caress faux documentary about jazz and junkies, Shirley Clarke's first feature. Le doulos - One of Jean-Pierre Melville's best, stars Jean-Paul Belmondo. Fantomas - One of the older silent serials, but really entertaining. Fritz Lang: The Silent Films - All of Lang's silents from the Murnau Foundation restorations in deluxe packaging. Great deal for $90. The General/Three Ages - While the Cohen version is a better restoration (same as Region B Eureka), this has a wonderful score by Joe Hisiashi. Gog - One of my favorite 50s 3D films, gets nice and weird. Hannibal - Kino's first UHD and an underrated sequel. The Hitch-hiker - One of the best noirs, directed by Ida Lupino! The Hunchback of Notre Dame - While a public domain staple, this uses Universal's beautiful 4K restoration. Irma la douce - Underrated Billy Wilder comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. The 4K restoration is gorgeous. The Kid Stays in the Picture - Great doc on Robert Evans. Kubrick UHDs (All of these are stunning new 4K Dolby Vision restorations. While they don't have Criterion extras, huge improvements in the image quality): Killer's Kiss The Killing Paths of Glory The Lady from Shanghai - While this had previous editions, this adds two new commentaries and uses the master Indicator used. Best artwork out of all the releases. The Landlord - Hal Ashby's first feature is wild. Last Year at Marienbad - Big improvement over the long-OOP Criterion Blu, I think this even has better extras. The Long Goodbye - My favorite Altman and Kino's new 4K remaster is a gigantic improvement over the old disc. Madchen in Uniform - Incredible early 30s German film. Marty - Remastered version uses new 4K transfer finally in the original 1.85:1, plus a new commentary. The Mask - Weird little Canadian horror with 3D sequences. The Maze - Another weird 3D film, this one directed by William Cameron Menzies. The Mystery of Picasso (Milestone) - Awesome look at Picasso's artistic process as he paints for the camera for Henri-Georges Clouzot. Never Give a Sucker an Even Break - W.C. Fields' last released feature is a hilarious bit of postmodern satire. Our Hospitality - Underrated Keaton silent, this has a great 4K restoration. The Party - Underrated Blake Edwards comedy with Peter Sellers Pioneers of African-American Cinema - Incredible box set of early films by African-American filmmakers. Worth it just for the silent Micheauxs and the western The Bronze Buckaroo. Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers - Good companion set to Flicker Alley's box, worth it for the Nazimova version of Salome. Planet of the Vampires - Mario Bava's sci-fi gets a spiffy 2K remaster and new extras. The Raven - One of my favorite Corman films, this time it's a comedy take on Poe's poem starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and Jack Nicholson. Reginald Denny Collection - Obscure silent comedies are a lot of fun, especially What Happened to Jones? All Universal 4K restorations. The Sicilian Clan - Cool French-Italian gangster film with Alain Delon and Lino Ventura. Silent Avant-Garde - Just released recently, sort of a "best of" based on the Unseen Cinema box set released on DVD a long time ago. Worth it just for the short N.Y., N.Y. Some Like It Hot - One of Wilder's best and I think has better extras than Criterion. The Song of Songs - Underrated Rouben Mamoulian drama starring Marlene Dietrich. The Sound Barrier - Lesser-known David Lean film. Sweet Charity - Bob Fosse's debut as director, really awesome. Shirley MacClaine stars. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - One of the best 70s thrillers, now in UHD. Touchez pas au grisbi - One of the great 50s French noirs. AVOID: Night Tide - Newer restoration out from Indicator that's region free. A Star is Born - 4K restoration out from Warner The Stranger - Good disc, but might be getting a remaster soon. The Train - UHD coming soon.

The only Kino I own is their women directed silent film collection. Pre Hayes code stuff is something. The most well known of the collection basically seemed to be simultaneously railing against eugenics but saying that only poor people should get abortions and that rich people shouldn't.

katatonic posted:The older Criterion blu doesn’t have the Matrix filter applied to it, and looks to still be available for purchase from their store. exactly what I did, WKW sucks for altering all of these. Fallen angels being the worst offender and chungking being the least. I have a feeling the older BD will eventually go out of print in favor of the boxset and individual versions, so I would grab it when possible No clue what I'll do for the rest, fallen angels on blu is dumb expensive at this point And yeah, he cut the DP out of the process, you can find an interview with christopher doyle where he basically just shrugs. Sure, the stuff is technically flaws or workarounds for the budget at the time, but it also set the visual look we all know dudes as bad as storaro cropping all his stuff now

I forgot that Kino Lorber was still doing "While Supplies Last" for some titles. Basically, releases that will go OOP once they're sold out either because they haven't sold enough to justify another printing or the rights will be running out (practically all titles licensed from Disney and Fox). https://kinolorber.com/collection/kino-lorber-while-supplies-last-2022 Here's some of the highlights... After the Fox (MGM) - Vittorio de Sica directs Peter Sellers and Victor Mature The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend (Fox) - Only Technicolor feature from Preston Sturges, not as great as his early 40s films, but still fun enough. The Boys in the Band (Paramount) - William Friedkin directs Mort Crowley's play about gay men in NYC. Brilliant all the way. Cabin Boy - Stacked SE and unlikely to get reissued by Disney. Fixed Bayonets! (Fox) - Sam Fuller war film, brilliant. How I Won the War (MGM) - Richard Lester's anti-war satire with an interesting cast that includes John Lennon. Kazaam (Disney) - I'd imagine a lot of people are nostalgic for this. Kundun (Disney) - Likely to never be released again, one of Scorsese's best. Has a second disc of extras, including a feature-length doc! Oscar (Disney) - Underrated film by John Landis starring Sylvester Stallone. It's 100% a homage to the works of Lubitsch and Sturges. The Pink Panther Cartoon Collections 1-5 (MGM) - The first 2-3 volumes are pretty essential at least, great remasters with commentaries and docs. Prince of Foxes (Fox) - Good swashbuckler with Tyrone Power and Orson Welles. Western Union (Fox) - One of the few Technicolor Fritz Lang films. X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (MGM) - Great Corman sci-fi horror with Ray Milland.

The Cabin Boy Blu is fantastic 'cause it's not a culty VS reclamation project where everyone comes back on the bonus features all "Finally, our day in the sun!" Everyone's still sad about how utterly despised the film was. Also you get six minutes of B-Roll footage of Chris Elliot kissing a worm. Highly recommended.

How I Won The War is extremely good. Everyone buy that. It's great, it does the basic thing every World War 1 movie does about how the military leaders were incompetent rich buffoons who spent the lives of their soldiers without thought so thousands of British men died pointless deaths for nothing, but it does it about World War 2. Which was not well received by British audiences in the 60s. edit: in case that description doesn't make it clear, it's a comedy. Gripweed fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Apr 10, 2023 |

I just watched Dragonslayer in 4k and man it looks great. I mean, truly great, they did a wonderful job. I consider it to be THE alpha example of "80s dirty fantasy movie" in terms of aesthetic so seeing it done up so right really made me happy. I also listened to about 10 minutes of the commentary between Guillermo Del Toro and the director Matthew Robbins and it was good, so this one hit the sweet spot for me.
