Peter, the Benghazi ‘theory’ was debunked, but I don’t think the other unrest as result of ‘Innocence of Muslims’ was. No? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronol...nce_of_Muslims

Point is, the studio (or its leadership) can offer better than that to moviegoers.

Well, as an American (with two parents buried at Arlington National for active military service in WWII), I don’t like it either but, no choice.

Any theater operator with half a brain would have required theatergoers to sign a waiver to protect themselves from liability, perhaps not so much from North Korea, but from some nutter acting out inspired by it all.

I don't believe the hack had anything to do with North Korea or The Interview.

And Christmas has nothing to do with the spike in candy cane sales...

If you think the attribution is conclusive enough to warrant these type of silly replies then you have only the most rudimentary knowledge of the situation.

Varg, if not North Korea being the original and sole perpetrator, then I think that would make for an interesting book or movie, i.e…. the true mastermind(s) responsible for the hack - http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sony-hac...s-responsible/

I’ll tell you one thing, if evidence is ever uncovered that the initial breach occurred let’s say prior to March 2013….…http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...terview-430224 then that would shed a new direction to the investigation of the true culprit(s).

To me the only silly reply was to say that they didn't do it and not offer anything to support that claim.

It was a stated belief, not a claim. Are you always this bad at posting?

[Penton-Man]

As a quick aside to the studio hacking incident and its repercussions (which have become National headline news, just today I hear Amy met with the Rev as part of her apology tour to seek absolution…. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...218-story.html).

Anyway, an update to a Sept. 2013 posting – or ‘the jury is now in’…
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...ry#post8166457

and also to now give my old friend Wendell a more precise answer…
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...ng#post8193664

THX testing indicates the issue is “in lengths of five meters and greater”…. http://www.twice.com/news/audiovideo...fication/55334

Back then, true, but no sense in pushing one’s luck….http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/1...n_6349752.html

[Penton-Man]

Peeps,
Tomorrow I go in hospital for what the heart docs call a ‘touch up’, but to me, something which involves poking a hole thru the inside wall of my heart isn’t any “touch up” . So, if I’m absent from forum action (Blu-ray.com) for a little while, well, that be the cause/story. I don’t carry my laptop into the CCU with me….too many cute nurses there to pamper me. If not, I sign out and come back home as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, as I figure nowhere else on the internet is filmmaking information like this - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...d#post10107534
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...e#post10112285

readily available, hackers need not concern themselves with hacking into my email account and revealing all my correspondences with filmmakers, as the info is already public knowledge to Blu-ray.com members....as well as my recent surgical hx. as noted above.

Later.
See ya'll on the blood thinner side and hopefully stroke free.

[Geoff D]

Hope it goes well Penton.

God speed, Penton. I hope everything checks out for you.

Holy smokes, dude.


If they try to keep you in there, send up smoke signals and we'll bust you out of that joint. Unless the nurses are really nice, in which case we'll join you...don't keep us in the dark, either way.

[4K fanatic]

Will I need entirely new hdmi cables to handle future 4k 60fps snd the wider color spectrum or are the articles I've read true- that all hdmi cables are the same? My ( manufactured 2014) 4K TV has hdmi 2.0 and the HEVC codec built in already. Do I need new hdmi cables for 4k Blu-Ray movies and standalone players when they come out or will my monoprice ( non-Redmere cables work for a hdmi 2.0 60fps frame rate, color spectrum, or any other features enabled by the hdmi 2.0 spectrum?

[reanimator]

Best wishes Penton!

[Richard Paul]

Hope you get better soon Penton.

The "Guardians of Peace" behave the same way as North Korea, their wording is the same as North Korea, the programming language used in the cyber attacks was Korean, the cyber attacks are similar to previous cyber attacks that were made against South Korea, it is known that North Korea has a military unit devoted to cyber warfare, the IP addresses go back to Chinese servers that transmit data from North Korea, and the FBI has announced that it was North Korea that carried out the cyber attacks.

As long as the HDMI cables are "High Speed" they will work.

[hajiketobu]

is it tru that 3d movies only play in 2k stereo in cinemas? i'm utterly shocked.
i'm still not over the fact that most movies are still mastered in 2k at the moment... what is this?! the stone age?

[BozQ]

Current DCP allows for 4K 3D. But I don't know any movies mastered in that. Most, if not all are 2K 3D. That said, 4K 3D HFR is not possible.
