Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters [20th Century Fox/3D/DTS~HD MA 5.1] More FUN than a Barrel of Monkeys, Jeremy Renner and Gemma Aterton ROCK as the titular bro and sis battling what else, WITCHES. The 3D effect on my LG OLED 3D TV is SPECTACULAR and for $3.99 HOW COULD I RESIST?

HIGH BROWS and PRUDES NEED NOT APPLY!

Because you're a Rock 'n Roll Head Banger, MM and not a 'Cinema Person!' And BTW, Rosebud was a reference to William Randolph Hearst's mistress, Marion Davies', PRIVATE PARTS .... which is WHY Hearst tried to ban the film.

I visited Hearst Castle as a kid and remember gold leaf flaking off the floor around the pool!

Wowsers! I was there as a kid on family get away also. I think around ~1965. Since I'm older than you I can report that's what I remember about the pool as well. So at least the condition, I guess, was stable. What really impressed me was the 35mm movie theater. I mean, how great is that? To be able to watch feature length movies on a big screen in the comfort of your home?

Man, that's cool remembering the same thing! I was there in 1987. I remember kicking off the gold with my feet as we walked along. It's surprising there's any left but there sure was a ton of gold all over that pool. I think the main pool colour was a deep, dark blue. Blue and gold. Hope my parents still got photos of that trip somewhere.

I was just ribbin' you, MM. I have a friend who loves movies passionately but doesn't get the allure of CK! I found it boring as a child but as I grew up and appreciated the significance of a 'lost childhood' [thus his passion/longing for his simple sled Rosebud], I grew to respect Welle's imagery. We will finally be able to behold Gregg Toland's groundbreaking cinematography in Native UHD4K utilizing HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

I think David Fincher's recent MANK would've been a nice addition to Criterion's UHD4K disc set. A little tedious at times, it did capture the period feel of Welle's masterpiece...but did question whether it was Welles who actually authored CK or Hollywood script writer Herman J. Mankiewicz.

I know you were RIBBING ME….got a spare one!!!???

I watched Citizen Kane on BD with my dad a few weeks ago and it was awesome. I hadn't seen it for about 15 years and dad hadn't seen it since the 70's. Orson and Joe Cotten were great together. Looking forward to seeing Mank at some stage.

In all the excitement about Criterion and 4k, I missed Once Upon A Time In China I-V on br. Hello B&N sale, usually around Thanksgiving.
