I've been a diehard fan of Harmy's Despecialized editions for a few years now, but I've been hearing buzz about 4K77 for a while. Harmy is doing new versions using the 4k stuff as a base now.

The only legit copy belonged to Carrie Fisher. She made getting it a condition of shooting some stuff for a DVD special features section. She claimed she liked to put it on at the end of parties when she wanted people to leave.

Eureka are having a November sale: https://www.eurekavideo.co.uk/news/eureka-november-sale Having a tough time not grabbing Man With A Movie Camera and Double Indemnity. Also Lucky (with Harry Dean Stanton) because it doesn't appear to have had a local blu ray release, and also includes the Partly Fiction doco.

Most (all?) of the MoC releases are Region B locked so no, it won't play on your US player. But like I always mention when this comes up, you can grab a region free player for less than $150 from Amazon. Get a refurbished one and it's even cheaper. My region free player is the best thing I've ever purchased. And I own a house.

Boywhiz88 posted:Looks like 2001 is delayed for a month. So apparently the likely reason for the delay is a mistake in the transfer, where a particular scene transition uses a hard cut instead of a fade. While it's not an enormous flaw, I'm glad to see Warner rectifying the mistake, especially with such a loved/important film.

Region B includes Australia and Europe, so that'd be fine; if you're in the US/Canada, you're Region A so you'd probably need a region-free player. They're a worthy investment.

Decided to go ahead and pick up a UHD player. Best Buy had an LG model for $200 that supports Dolby Vision, Hi-Res Audio, Wi-Fi, etc. 2001 is still the only 4K I own, but I wasn't prepared for how much of an uptick in quality it would get.

It took me forever to find when it came out but it was worth it. And I even used that ticket for the remake to see it. Which was good, because I really didn’t like it then but I’m cool with it now.

I’m not sure what levels get access, but if you’re part of the My BBY program from Best Buy, there’s an early access thing going on with some of the movies in their Black Friday ad. I got John Wick 1+2, Hell or High Water, Halloween, Deadpool 1+2, and Ex Machina on 4K for $70 after taxes.

roffels posted:The Fleischer Studios Popeye shorts have awesome animation, I'd love to see them in HD. I'm not too familiar with the Famous Studios releases though. Even with the Fleischers, the budgets went down by the early 40s - there's a clear difference from the last year or two of their cartoons compared to their prime from the 30s. However, I find the Famous cartoons to have their own perks. The first few years of Famous cartoons are really good - often as good as the best Fleischers. It sounds like this is Warner's last attempt to try animation through Warner Archive unless it's a success, though. Their 5-disc Porky Pig B&W set from last year apparently only broke even, though I think they're consistently having unrealistic expectations. They'd sell twice or triple the amount of sets if they simply partnered with someone like Criterion or Shout! Factory. Or just work with Kino Lorber considering they've had no issues releasing close to a dozen volumes of DePatie-Freleng Pink Panther, Inspector, and Dogfather cartoons. Also, they announced the Hammer Horror of Dracula (bare-bones, but will use the BFI 4K restoration with apparently new color timing) and a restored The Sea Hawk.

I don't think many people saw it but it's a loving gorgeous head trip that deserved to have a wider audience than it did. Oh my god, I totally thought they were talking about that Anthony Hopkins movie The Road to Wellville about the founder of Kelloggs and his crusade against masturbation.
