Films (Almost Entirely Surround)

Game of Thrones has the whole show in Dolby Vision/Atmos on 4K discs, but that’s also a modern show that likely planned for 4K from the start.

Right, I forgot about that, even though I own the 4K set. But as you allude to, it was shot digitally, perhaps even in 4K. I should have specified "*classic show shot on film/analogue video."

That said, Janus Films, parent company of the Criterion Collection has been posting still images from all Twin Peaks media on their twitter (season 1, 2, FWWM, The Return), as well as other Twin Peaks related ephemera (like a still of the Sesame Street parody Twin Beaks) leading people to think that some sort of 4K Criterion Collection Twin Peaks set is coming soon (if so I’m first in line)

Well, that's an exciting prospect! I have the previous deluxe box set that includes the pilot and Part 8 of the "Limited Event" series in 4K, and it's a lovely, lavish affair.

I nearly got that myself but I didn’t have 4K gear at the time and other than those two 4K episodes and a ComicCon panel I believe it has all the same features as the The Missing Pieces and The Return sets I already have. That said, the whole shebang in 4K is worthy of an upgrade.

I just received via USPS a disc in a paper sleeve in a sturdy cardboard envelope from "Paramount Home Ent-Consumer Replacements" Valencia, Ca. Titanic - 4K Ultra HD Replac .
Anyone know what this is about and how they got my address?

Barnes & Noble usually have their Criterion 1/2 sale again in November!

...SEVEN SAMURAI...

Looking forward to this one! I'm also curious as to whether the transfer/master for The Shape of Water will differ from the standard 4K UHD release.

Paper Moon is a great flick.

 

[4-earredwonder]

And Tatum O'Neal was the youngest actress to ever win an Academy Award for PAPER MOON

 

[Victor Bisio]

"Funny Girl" &" Paper Moon" are must buys.

That’s true and Amazon usually meets their price or lower along with free shipping.

 

[Marplot]

Amazon plays games with shifting discounts on Criterion during that time frame but yes, if you are patient you will end up with the same deal.
I can pick up locally so B&N is often a winner.

I wondered this as well. The new Criterion release states that it is a 4K digital master, while Blu-ray.com states that the original 4K release is a 2K DI, for what it’s worth. Not sure if that information is correct or not.
