I watched the old blu ray a few weeks ago and those titles are covered with dirt that stays even after the letting fades away, only to be replaced with new dirt when the next credit shows up.

It's a really good movie, and I really don't get why people kick up a huge fuss about it every time it's mentioned other than the awful marketing. Like seriously, the marketing is the only "bad" thing about that movie because it shows it as a toddler's movie and it's absolutely not. But any kid over like 7 would be fine watching it.

Managed to swing the Nightmare on Elm Street boxset, the Rocky boxset, Scorsese's 3 hour George Harrison doco, and ozploitation classic Long Weekend (so 15 movies) for $45AU.

There's also a shitload of UHD stuff in there, and someone on the Ozbargain site managed to get Nolan's 4K filmography for $39 total.

Heads up, Vinegar Syndrome are having their Midway to Black Friday sale (50% almost everything) going from May 25-28 including two mystery blu rays. One of them they say will not get a second run after it’s initial 1,500 piece first run. They said it won’t be a horror film, so if you like weird porn on BR this is your reminder.

Hi thread, can anyone recommend a 4k player suitable for parents? So a nice simple UI that isn't going to stop supporting apps in 3 months. Do any players use android or is that a stupid question? They've got a hundred crappy devices that collectively do everything, but poorly. Trying to find an all in one for them. Thanks!

It seems like you and me have similar tastes. There exists an HD transfer of it too. I saw it a few years back on Comcast's VOD service.

Criterion titles for August

Ernst Lubitsch's Heaven Can Wait (1943)
Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life (2011)
Tomás Gutiérrez Alea's Memories of Underdevelopment (1968)
Susan Seidelman's Smithereens (1982)
Robert M. Young's The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (1982)

Nothing too exciting for me, but Smithereens sounds like something I might like.

While I'm sure it'll just be off of some master they have lying around, it would be kinda cool to see pure CGI movies get rendered out with what the artists would have liked to have done if they had the computing horsepower. If I remember correctly, they had a lot of trouble rendering wet hair the first time around.

Existing CGI movies on UHD are all an upscale of a 2K digital master.
Unfortunately their render farms are already at capacity cranking out 2K, but yeah a 4K render would be amazing. It's not like there aren't any 4K theater projectors.

I admit that CGI has made some major strides since 2004, but really? The Incredibles still looks great, mostly thanks to the brilliant art style.

Eh, I'm not sure we need an HD Remaster Special Edition culture to take root in CGI films. That's been the death of creativity in this game generation.
I usually feel like early CGI films have rigging or animation shortcomings more than render issues.

If you didn't like the clay-model faces or weird ears it was a little disconcerting. I think some of it is art style or design, but Violet looks really rough at stadium at the end.
