I wouldn't go that far considering Mann is notoriously bad for tinkering with his work and not always for the better.

There used to be a ending edit for The Thing where it listed the fate of everyone. So everyone is dead of various causes of froze to death, except MacReady’s hat.

My Alien video is an homage to that video, which also used Sweet Home Alabama.

Why I keep hesitating to buy the better Blu-Ray version of The Fugitive. I know the 4K will be announced a week or two after I buy it.

I suspect the your TV isn't calibrated. Runaway Train's cinematography definitely takes from the 70s era of cinematography, which is all dark, low light, naturalistic cinematography and that style in particular lends in itself to having to watch it on a calibrated screen. Too bright and everything looks washed out with milky blacks, too dark and everything looks crushed with no shadow detail.

Ohhh the Fugitive would be an instant buy for me. Basically, I want Harrison Ford's entire 90's filmography on UHD. I've been meaning to buy the Jack Ryan set but I've held off because it's painful to buy a 5-film set when you really just want two of them(I already own Hunt For Red October).

I’m not sure it’s my TV, all the other movies I’ve watched on it have looked great. Or are you saying I need to calibrate it a certain way specifically for this movie? Because that’s dumb.

No it's usually just a simple setting you find in the video options that will be like "standard, calibrated, calibrated dark" and a few others. Obviously the specific terms will change from brand to brand but usually there's one in there called something with the word "calibrated" in it.

But that would be a one-time adjustment that you wouldn't have to change for each movie. Is it possible you just haven't watched anything with that gritty 70's cinematography yet so you just hadn't noticed an issue up to this point?

…yes. I think for me it’s Krull. I grabbed it because it was cheap and my bro and I had seen it’s trailer a few weeks prior. We’re planning to watch it one of these days, just gotta find the time to waste.

Does the case just look like it’s from a rental store with a tape popping out or is it more involved than that.

I added Hudson Hawk to another order I was making because it was $10, and I have a soft spot for that goofy movie.

I bought the Silent Rage one. It's just the slipcover to make it look like it's from a VHS rental place. It's a regular case underneath it with the original poster.

Silent Rage rules, by the way. No one told me Chuck Norris did a sci-fi thriller that is basically a slasher film, in 1982. With a synth score! And William Finley!


I'm double dipping on that Silence of the Lambs 4k. The Criterion release is amazing, and I will absolutely buy a Demme movie twice. Married To The Mob 4k UHD when? New Melvin and Howard blu-ray when?? (The Twilight Time blu-ray is like $40)

Everything is graded on calibrated monitors so it'll look the same across anything that's properly calibrated. Depending on the movie, it can still look good if it's not calibrated (particularly movies that are brighter and use more of the headroom in the dynamic range) but if it's something that's designed to be presented a certain way (like "The Godfather"), it will absolutely not look right unless you're viewing it on a calibrated monitor.
