I've had my copy for a week now. Usually. not my type of film, but I enjoyed it in the theater.

Yes, 3D as a cinematic format is alive and well. But, as you note, no consumer 3D displays have been released in the last seven years. I can only assume the runs for 3D Blu-ray must be very small, given the tiny market for 3D home video.

Still hanging on desperately to my beloved 3D serup, and buying movies like they’re going out of print. Got Avatar II last week, but it’s on the pile, and not the top.

Over the weekend I checked out the Native 4K restoration of Scarface ‘83 and thought it looked spectacular. Nicely detailed and grain left untouched, just how I like it. Never owned the blu-ray and was coming from the non-anamorphic DVD from around 1999 so quite the upgrade. Acquired it from the Prime Day sales for 18.99 CAD. Even came with a slip to my delight. DTS:X downmixed to 5.1 sounded full bodied and depth was wonderful. The DTS (original?) mono sounded tinny in comparison.

Movie still holds up as one of Brian De Palma’s finest and of course a tour de force performance from Al Pacino. Lovely cinematography from John A. Alonzo who also shot Chinatown.

With Scarface, first you get the non-anamorphic DVD, then you miss the Blu-ray, then you get the 4K.

LOL, I too have a 3D TV and it replaced my last 3D plasma TV that had the hdmi circuit board scorched by Lightning. As with everything in life it was cheaper to replace than fix
Luckily my internet TV box has 65 3D movies with more added slowly.
But as you can see 9400 channels, there is always something on

Do you have an LG OLED 3D TV, Bruce? I had a 65" 3D Panasonic Plasma Flatscreen and the 3D image was dreadful. Way too dark ..... the OLED is night and day with an almost 4K image.

BTW, what internet service provides you with 65 3D movies to choose from? Pretty impressive!

This thread normally focuses on 4K and BD~V releases but a recent doc which has received widespread recognition from the press has just been released on DVD. Hopefully the streaming services will pick it up because it deserves to be seen

edit: It is available to rent [or buy] on Amazon PRIME

I watched Sisu last night. I think the decisions were along the lines of 'the less he speaks the higher our blood budget'.

It was rather ridiculous and bloody, so I enjoyed it.
I won't mention my favorite parts to leave their surprise/wow factor intact.

I have my old 60" Panasonic Plasma sitting in the back room, as I found out, I could use RCA cables to bypass the burnt out HDMI, after I bought my new set. And yes its a 65" LG set and it has a great picture, I thought my Plasma had a good pic, but I agree with you, the LG is better.

I get a cable modem from my local cable provider, then use a box I bought elsewhere. Thats really all I want to say about it, other than I pay $11.00 per month service payable every 6 months. The box gets every signal in the atmosphere of earth and brings it to my TV. Every channel from every country......

I would watch 90 minutes of Margot Robbie silently reading a book and occasionally sipping on a Sprite.

I thought she was magnificent in Babylon even though the critics panned the movie itself! But Ryan Gosling as KEN??????? Gimme a BREAK!

Isn't KEN supposed to be a EUNUCH?

May be he believes in method acting!

What's wrong with Gosling? He's a pretty good actor. See: Drive and Blade Runner 2049.

Totally agree that Gosling is an excellent actor but I thought at 42, he might've been too old for the role but preliminary reviews indicate OTHERWISE!

And lest we forget his performance in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL ... he was both hilarious! ... and touching!

"Master and Commander" makes great use of the surround channels and not just in the battle scenes. The surround mix places you on the boat with activity happening all around you.
