Hi,
I just read your review of ShoutFactory/ScreamFactory of The Hunt 4k. There is some sort of confusion regarding the DV, maybe even an authoring error. The back artwork does say “4k Ultra with Dolby Vision HDR Playback Requires Dolby Vision Capable…”. During playback on my Panasonic UB820 and LG CX 77 OLED Dolby Vision was detected and enabled on the display. However, detailed Playback Info on the Panny didn’t seem DV was present. The picture was very desaturated. I went into the Panasonic and disabled DV(I’ve never had to) this ameliorated all the color issues and saturation was back to normal. I’ve tried to contact Shout in regards to this disc and the issues I presented, they have not gotten back to me. It would be really great if you could investigate this further or contact them. I did read that you said it was originally supposed to be in DV. All this conflicting information and odd playback issues I believe clarity. Especially with the back artwork regarding DV. Thank you.

Thanks! And great review btw, can't wait to pick this one up. I have the Arrow 4K steel, should make a good double-feature.

Hello,

I read your review of Taxi and I want to know if the subtitles can be switched off. I bought another title released by Samuel Goldwyn Films where it wasn't the case.

Best regards,

I assume this is a simple cut & paste error, but in your recent Robocop 2 review, screenshots 34 & 38 are listed as being from both the Orion Home Video 1991 LaserDisc and the Orion Home Video 1997 DVD?

Screenshot #s 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 25, 29, 34, & 38 = Orion Home Video 1991 LaserDisc (1.33:1)
Screenshot #s 22, 26, 30, 34, & 38 = Orion Home Video 1997 DVD (non-anamorphic 1.85:1)

Greetings, I just want to say that your reviews and taste in film are impeccable and that I hope you’re well right now. Happy New Year!

Hello
You recently reviewed Strand Releasing's The Doom Generation on Blu Ray. Is there much difference between this release and Second Sight's release from 2012 ? I understand the Strand Blu Ray has the same audio commentary. Any new footage on the Blu Ray?

Thanks
