The entire catalog was freshly scanned at 4K by Lowry. How much cleanup work they did or did not do on each title is another matter. I don't care about 4K. We don't need more pixels, we need better pixels. HDR 2K beats the crap out of SDR 4K i…

In an interview, or in print? Doesnt make any sense why he would say that, unless there are other reasons he didn't want to get into and said that thinking the layperson wouldn't think any more of it. Maybe Panavision wanted more to lease the scop…

"Is Thunderball Overrated?" No, no, and no. In a hypothetical alternate dimension where, for some unholy reason, I had to chose only one Bond film, it would be Thunderball.

He was asking for a disc which matches the others, not the jacket.

Its not just Bond, its everything. Streaming services like Netflix have transient catalogs. They buy rights to stuff for a finite period. They cant afford to maintain everything for life. Comes down to whats popular at a given point in time. T…

My history with the films is somewhat different from others my age, me being in my mid 40s now. In my teens, in the mid 1980s, my family was overseas living in a country which only recently got its independence and still had a strong colonial influe…

True, but it is my contention that the way it works now is short sighted as best. They are only cannibalizing their own income by not allowing a cinema engagement to run its full course like they used to.

Geez that feels.....too soon. That really deflates the cinema run (hardcore fans, ie everyone here, notwithstanding). I remember when it would take at least a year, often longer, for the home video to come out, and many times there would be a ho…

@timmer Are you in Toronto? Personally, I was devastated when Ontario Place was shut down back in 2011: Cinesphere was in my opinion the finest facility on earth. Besides having the distinction of being the first permanent IMAX facility back in '71…
