If it's helps, the 1923 version is still crying out for a restoration. The Handschiegl and Technicolor segments shouldn't be extras, they should be part of it.

The current disc is like a collection of bits saying "you do it".

It's still well worth seeing, but take it into account when double dipping (but there's nothing better yet, either).

This is from the cap you posted. Look at the detail and richness in his headdress in the 4K image: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x...7&l=0&i=5&go=1

Anyone order this from Amazon recently and get a slip? I didn't get one from Best Buy.

No slips and all were the rewrapped edition (likely no digital code) at my local Best Buy.

Paramount has so far not removed digital copies like Warner does. Warner only prints "digital copy" on the slipcover so they can remove that and also the digital copy. But you'll notice Paramount prints "digital copy" on the case insert.

I might try my luck and order one from Amazon.

Regarding the baked in smearing is that also on the Blu-rays or is it just a special feature on the 4k disk?

It's likely an artifact of the restoration process to cleanup grain when they erase dirt and scratches. They probably went too aggressive with their digital tools. You can sometimes catch the same motion smearing with "My Fair Lady." Also a Paramount release.

Amazon charged me for my Steelbook. And what's more surprising is that they honoured the £20 miss price. Hopefully I will get this tomorrow. I love that this includes the 1920's silent movie, as I never got around to watching it.

Just wondering if you received your Steelbook yet and if you could post up some photos.

Sadly my smart phone broke (as it was old) and I cannot take any photos at the moment, otherwise I would. Sorry.

Is this eye candy or what? I saw alot of people complaining. Is the 1.78 aspect ratio glorious? I'm about to hit that Best Buy checkout button!

It's good, but not perfect due to the motion smearing.

You're not going to watch a 1920 silent movie, and I don't know anybody who would. That movie is 101 years old, and your parents probably wasn't even born.

It looks to be an artifact from the restoration process when they were removing grain to get to the scratch, dirt, hair, tear removal process. They went a little overboard on the DNR and de-graining part. That leaves motion ghost trails when someone is moving quickly, like arms and legs.


Paramount's 4k restoration of My Fair Lady has this too, but not at the same level and not as often.

I can't figure out if this is serious or a joke?

My grandparents weren't even born when a reasonable chunk of my collection was made. And it includes some of my favourite films.
