Wow, the Autumn Sonata transfer is noticeably different.

See, Ray...this is why you fail. It's all about the advertising. Thankfully, you didn't hold up Tootsie.

You guys are so immature.

This thread is supposed to be a serious discussion about serious films.

...I’m sorry that that the rest of our members had to see this.

I think it wound up being just a reel of footage (including multiple takes of the same shot), not an actual cut of the film.

The risque humor in your post is further enhanced by the Larry David avatar.

Of course, so much of life is context. 8 1/2 would be viewed as, um, "lacking" in Eastern Europe.

Since this is Ray we're talking about, I think Odd Man Out would be more apropos.

He should feel lucky that Little Man Tate isn't in the Collection.

BN sale should be most/all of Nov.

Criterion Flash sale is strongly suspected this week -- Tuesday is the leading candidate

Ideally, it should be a copy of Shaft, and then a copy of Head, but Criterion only has the latter.

And every other "comparison" heavily favors the new verison, showing more detail, finer grain, and more contrast.
