Upcoming Blu Ray Releases

Postby Andrew Forbes » Tue Aug 24, 2010 10:30 am

Why are the releases for the current week removed from the Upcoming Blu Ray Releases page on the release date? Sure, there is the option of seeing all combined DVD/Blu releases for the week, but the option to filter by format is useful when I want to quickly skim over the day's new arrivals.

Excessive digital manipulation has left your posts feeling flat, lacking in fine detail and depth. All in all, not a very film-like comment.

That's rich, coming from someone whose posts look like wax dummies.

Guys, I've been a fan for most of my life, so it pains me to say that you've all felt pretty stock since about 2007. Its like you're all afraid to take artistic risks.

That assertion is front heavy and not very dynamic, with a digital sheen that renders it weak in comparison to truly lossless comments.

The colour correction on that rebuttal doesn't match the chroma key of the original theatrical print released in 1954.

As a longtime fan, this comment is near and dear to my heart. I had high hopes of agreeing with it, but the interlaced transfer and excessive compression has resulted in distracting moire artifacts.

Quite frankly this thread needs far more DNR than it got. Too bad. We'll have to wait for another remaster.

This comment certainly preserves the original grain structure and really looks organic, but the woefully misframed 1.85:1 transfer just can't hold a candle to the original theatrical aspect ratio, even if this is the Cinematographer's preferred version.

Daddy-O Productions (a subsidiary of Dan Mancini Enterprises, LLC, recently acquired by Time Warner Inc.) wishes to express its confidence in Vittorio Storaro and his vision for the comment. We stand by his work.
