It's amazing and it just makes you realize how poo poo any US produced documentary is on the subject because they can't show things like Hitler at a party enjoying boobs etc

The rumor I heard straight from a very reputable source was that it was Olivia Harrison who didn't want it released, because of George Harrison. There is a scene where George and Paul get into a vocal fight and it really upset George never really got over it. This is the scene:

But that scene is part of the Beatles Anthology that came out in the 90's which George was a part of?

:shrug: I guess it really bothered George.

The problem is they didn't even break up in that period. The Let It Be film was shot prior to Abbey Road even being recorded.

We still haven't got any Beatles CD's that don't sound like poo poo. :smug:

Once George Martin dies though, we will.

Yeah the Mono ones are fine but the stereo mixes are a abomination because of Martin. Giles Martin has done wonderfully on Love and that was his project, so once George is gone and Giles can work his magic on everything else atleast we'll have decent stereo mixes.

It seems cool but its dissapointing that keanu is still a twat about that movie though. Would've been nice to get a commentary with him.

Also wouldve been nice to get some of the other stuff like the cartoons or the universal parks show stuff

Cool im interested then. I like Napoleon as a historical person, but I usually have a thing against silent movies because the frame rate in them (or whatever it is) makes it seem REAL creepy to me. Although watching trailers for this it seems like it doesn't have that real sketchy frame rate?

Does any of that make senes

I'm surprised it is compared to DVD tbh. You'd think theyd be too expensive to press to be worth it but I guess alot of companies see it as the last form of physcial media possibly ever

im confused and would like some help if you guys would be so kind


i've never seen Lawrence of Arabia

I would like to see it.

I read some articles about a 4k remaster being mind blowing


all I see on Amazon is a blu ray version if it though

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Y1YK0I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER


There's a supposed 4k digital version? But i thought streaming is limited to like barely 1080p with a fake 4k?


What one should I get? :qq:

This is a great Blu-ray. One of my favorites of the year. I like how my collection is 95% exploitation / horror / martial arts / 80s action. It's what the format was truly meant for.

Another absolutely amazing release that came out in December is Indicator's new disc for Happy Birthday to Me. It's packed with tons of extras and multiple soundtracks (including that garbage score from the 2004 release). The picture quality is just beautiful, a million times better than the 2-Movie edition with When a Stranger Calls. Maybe the best looking slasher I have on Blu-ray. Go region free if you haven't already and pick this up.

glad to know i wish someone would put out really nice versions of the shaw brothers martial acts flicks. and Come Drink With me.

if you didnt check it out check out this years a touch of zen criterion

i hate lady snowblood tho so i dont have the best opinions

yeah honestly don't know the difference between the resident evil movies and some of the poo poo this forum likes in regards to old horror movies. If anything it seems like something has aged a certain amount of years it's considered campy and "good". So perhaps in 2037 we'll have Arrow producing the Resident Evil 20k rays
