Yes, Spidey 3 was also Super 35, with VistaVision for the effects shots. It also got a 4K DI, contrary to the IMDB listing, though the effects were upscaled 2K, natch.

I see, thanks for the info. I always thought that the TV broadcasts were cropped to full screen. Now I know that's not the case.

That was a huge thing at the time, like Superman Returns had some effects finished at 6k

Superman Returns could benefit from a remaster.

So could 80% of all Warner discs

No question those VC-1 Warner titles are bad in terms of being so smooth and filtered. I watched Swordfish on BD the other night and it was like watching something between 540p and 720p.

I'm more interested in seeing some Paramount titles get fresh scans. Face / Off and Election come to mind. I also just watched Fargo and was surprised at how dated and harsh it looked, I imagine a new scan would produce a significantly less ugly disc.

I think Fargo was MGM wasn't it? Either way, ugly disc.

Yes, I switched topics slightly without mentioning it. That happens when you're multitasking.

It's too bad. Their disc of Raising Arizona looks great. Maybe when they finally decide to put Barton Fink on Blu, they'll re-master Fargo. Actually, there's a title for the Signature Series, if Fox hasn't forgotten about it...

Just horrid. I remember watching thinking how could any so-called "technician" add that amount of sharpening even if mastering on a small CRT. Zero excuse on that one.

Raising Arizona looks like pure film. Very natural transfer.

TheDrunkenSpy · 07-09-2013, 08:14 PM

When it comes to the Fargo Blu-Ray, its just bad. And I don't even own it.

Holy crap that's awful! The car in "Cap 8" looks like it was outlined in white.

Yes, I am fully aware it's out there, but I hear the PQ is only okay and I know it has no extras. Would like to see the distributor who released a 2-disc DVD in France release a Blu-Ray.

RyanPom · 07-10-2013, 07:37 AM

A redo of Spider Man 3 would be great. There's a lot of problems with the older BR.

Since they did 1 in Wave 1 and 2 in Wave 2 I bet this is a possibility.
