Not a bad article that, not bad at all. I don't agree that Criterion is the tipping point for 4K disc, it's always going to remain a niche of a niche as evinced by installation matey estimating that two thirds of the people he services don't even have a disc player at all (there's a surprise), but the tech points are mostly correct and that's very, very rare coming from randos on the internet.

Interesting that they say the Dr. Strangelove UHD isn't worth upgrading to.

That movie has some history - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...rst#post320237

As does The Great Escape staring an actor who the next year went on to compete in what is considered to be the Olympics of Motorcycle Racing (Six Days of tough riding) for the U.S. team – https://motodomains.com/famous-dirt-...ix-days-enduro

'Top Gun: Maverick' ... 2022
I've heard similar rumors.

'Bruce Lee"
Same here. We can assume, and it's very easy to do that.

* By the way Penton, I've watched 'Don't Look Up" on Netflix ... I give it 10 ... out of 100.
Not even worth talking about.

I've also watched 'The Lost Daughter', also on Netflix.
I am not rewatching it, ever.

'Dune' on 4K HDR Blu-ray? Oh yeah, it'll get few Oscars for sure...sounds, visuels, music score, ... Probably the best flick for CGI of the last couple years, ...no?
Too bad we don't have the IMAX shots. That's a real bummer.
• I did not see the 3D version, so I have zero idea.

'West Side Story' (2021)?

How times have changed. Back in the original romanticized West Side Story days, street gangs used switchblades - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...s#post18477299. These days it’s Tec-9s, Glocks, and such.

Since content rules, no matter it be HD, 4K, SDR or HDR, as far as romances go, I’ve been following that of Elsa and Ennis -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13991232/ and I’m an episode down on that series after having watched too much football and Prem league soccer over the weekend. Just not enough hours in the day.

Insider Penton household baseball here - until Walter Reed or others come through with a *universal solution*, my wife and I hope that the only thing that directs us to Pi (if you catch my drift ) is rewatching this on one of our movie nights - https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Life-...lu-ray/140434/ , because 2022 is not starting out with the kind of bang we enjoy.

Walter Reed will contribute to many being awakened from their pods. I, for one, am very enthused for 2022.

Hopefully so, as the last thing we need is for the TG:M release date to be pushed back yet again.

[Waboman]

Please, on all that’s holy, get your 74th booster and let’s pray TG:M isn’t pushed back.🙏

Wabs, you really have to watch Ted Lasso, if not to learn about English football, but to learn some of Ted’s leadership lessons –

• See good in others
• Stay teachable
• Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing
• Happiness is a choice
