BTW, Bill, that PX 1 PRO Projector is NOW available from AmazonUS for $1799 if you apply their $100 off coupon. VERY SUSPICIOUS and reviews of their other projectors are extremely mixed citing POOR customer service!

From a 3-D standpoint Hisense mentions "polarized" 3-D. I'm guessing that's an error and instead will use standard DLP 3-D shutterglasses. Reason being is a projector doing polarized 3-D would require a special silver screen specifically designed for use with polarized 3-D. And that special screen could cost as much as the projector.

Ring~A~Ding~DING: From the rumor mill: Martin Scorsese is awaiting script approval from Tina Sinatra to film a biop of her dad, Frank with Leonardo DiCaprio slated to play the icon and Jennifer Lawrence to star as his second wife Ava Gardner.

I, for one, CANNOT WAIT!

But please, Tina, not too much censorship. Frank wasn't exactly a Choir Boy!

Wonder if Leo will do his own singing.

Wonder if Leo will do his own singing.

I certainly hope NOT! That's why Scorsese needs the FULL cooperation of the Sinatra family.....so they can use Sinatra's master tracks!

 

[mrcond]

Well that was horrible. But obviously horrible is what was called for in the context of that film. Knowing Dicaprio's abilities and dedication to his craft, I bet he will pour 10 months of practice into sounding just like ol' blue eyes.

Doubtful anyone could ever sound like Ol' Blue Eyes .... except maybe his son, Frank Jr. but sadly, he's deceased and never had daddy's charisma!

Many have tried. I always liked Joe Piscopo's impressions of him on SNL in the 1980s. Done, of course, for comedic effect.

A bit of exciting UHD news this morning. Boy and The Heron's Japanese UHD went up for pre-order last night... no English dubs or subs, but this morning the US one just was announced for preorder via GKids (and Shout Media distribution).

Both Japanese and English versions will include Dolby Vision and Atmos (and the US disc will include both sub and dub Atmos tracks)
https://gkids.com/films/the-boy-and-the-heron/home-video/
This is the first ever Studio Ghibli 4K release!

And a personal fav of mine growing up, Weird Al's UHF is finally hitting UHD!
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/UHF-4K-Blu-ray/360409/
New 4K transfer from Original Camera Negative, in Dolby Vision HDR, but sadly just the original stereo, no new audio tracks on this one. Will look nice next to my Shout Media version of Weird: The Al Yankovich Story, the recent film of his (which despite what the specs say on the back and Amazon... *does* have an Atmos track. They misprinted 7.1 on the back)

I have UHF pre-ordered and I'm waiting on the Amazon listing for Boy and the Heron to go up before I order that
