Go grab a br of Hidden Fortress ... lets see if that gets me a 4k release

;-)

I was thinking the same thing! Maybe I'll pick up a second blu-ray of AI: Artificial Intelligence to see if we can get some movement there.

No idea if that will embed (BlueSky is pretty new) but GRUV is having a $12.99 UHD sale and a $9.99 Blu sale. Use code SIGNUP20 for an additional discount. Money Man, which was recently discussed is one of the $12 discs. I also grabbed The Beekeeper which I’ve heard is dumb fun. Total for both, post coupon and tax (and free shipping) was a couple cents shy of $21! Not bad!

Hey @4-earredwonder when is the Searchers 3D getting released? It was originally filmed with 3D cameras.

Thanks for the heads up on Monkey Man. Finally got my SONY 4K 3D Laser projector professionally calibrated [what a PRODUCTION] so now I can enjoy all my unwatched films in all their 2K/4K splendor and as an aside, the man who calibrated my projector also is director Martin Scorsese's calibration expert!

BTW, PM, the Beekeeper is a fun watch...even though the critical 'buzz' wasn't that great!

Had NO idea, Jeffie, that John Ford's The Searchers was filmed in 3D...are you sure you're not confusing it with VistaVision?

I may have read that on the 3D film archive site......but I stand corrected.
I just used the perplexity search engine and it confirms Vista Vision was used NOT 3d

I BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHTY 4 EARS

Well, Jeffie, we ALL can't be PERFECT....LOL!

I enjoyed the Beesleeper but yeah, don't go looking for acting, character depth or dialog. It is a fun and violent revenge flick from 10 minutes on.

Hoping this gets the 4K treatment from Criterion. They've released it in the past on DVD and 2K Blu-ray.

Perhaps there was more that the hair hid?

The Train (1964) 4K:

I got this one: https://kinolorber.com/product/the-train-4kuhd

There's a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix but it suffers from whenever there's a "puh" sound, there's an enormous bass thump so I switched over to the DTS-MA dual mono and switched the sub off.

Superb image.

Such a gem of a flick. Frankenheimer sure was one of the great directors. Cinematography, script, acting, action sequences, stunts by Burt, all superb.

I think I've narrowed down intermittent green-tint weirdness I was experiencing on black and white 4K movies. Seems it's only on black and white flicks with Dolby Vision. Switch off the DV so the machine only reads the HDR10 info and away it goes. Ah Dolby, an extra 25GB of unwanted data. They really are the unnecessary middle-man of the AV world. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else experiences intermittent green-tint on black and white 4K flicks with Dumbly Vision.
