We should?

Just doesn’t have a good ring to it and practically speaking, I don’t think that the title “Remember the Olympians” would have been a good idea because some potential theater-goers might have gotten the impression that it was a movie about Olympic athletes and passed on the flick altogether.

And lest not any old retired minds (altered by smelling too much vinegar over the years) from other provincial forums dismiss or disparage digital restoration , because there is much more to it than some might realize, even regarding the removal of dirt in which special algorithms are developed for proprietary technology like ‘AutoClean’…http://magazine.creativecow.net/arti...riveri-in-4k/2

Anthony, tell me something I'm more interested about, what material are these two dudes wearing while standing around the camera because, if anything, they certainly knew how to dress well in those olden days while on a shoot.

What suit fabric is that? I honestly don’t know and am a bit curious.

I hope you're right on 3rd place.
This season, I never turn off an Arsenal match, no matter how far ahead we are until the very end of the game when the ref blows the whistle.

Sir, if there’s one thing I know about, it’s grain ! -

With regards to practical accuracy and a certain movie now announced for Blu-ray…https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8453

I love how everything comes together correctly ….given enough time and a little *nudging* – a prior post from back in July of last year, the latter half of the post being pertinent to this particular title, i.e. Machine Gun Preacher ….https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...un#post4925884

Seems that the technical specifications as listed on imdb now appear correct, as sometime in the interim since last July, they’ve included the phrase “Super 35 (source format) (some shots)” along with the respective film negative format –http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1586752/technical

I am, to date, largely Lisbeth-ignorant.

Penton,

As I've said numerous times: You're a gentleman and a scholar.


(and you probably wear grain...errr I mean tweed jackets)

I've had nonstop guests visiting, so my movie watching has been suspended over the last couple of days!
I will definitely watch GwtDT this weekend. I also got Drive in from Netflix....so it will be a nice double feature!

I've got to get these movies in before the NHL playoffs start...although I don't hold out much hope for my Flyers! It's still the coolest game on Earth!

Not anymore. You’re still a motorcycle aficionado , are you not? She rode these bikes in the flick, which were found, bought and rebuilt in 30 days…http://www.bikeexif.com/motorcycle-movie. Close-ups show not the typical front tire you’d see on a Honda CB350.

Plus, as Jeff C. mentioned here while schmoozing during the Open House …https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...se#post5749088 , one of his favorite scenes in the movie was that of the crane shot showing Lizbeth cruising down some cobblestone street into the lights of old Stockholm.

Can you dig it?

On a technical side note, with regards to post, I think that the colorist (Ian V.) did a good job with matching footage shot with the Red One (with M-X sensor) and that of the Red Epic to give a seamless look to the overall motion picture without distraction.

[Doctorossi]

I'll probably get to it, eventually, but mainly because I like Jeff C. (Jeff's dad: ) and I like watching Daniel Craig, too. Is the bike content in the movie demanding of a watch, just from a bike-nerdery perspective?

[rickah88]

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!


As I watch the Mega Million countdown clock on ABC News.
After a lump sum payout and taxes, etc...I'm figuring about 300mil....would that be enough to purchase the rights to LoA?

Dang..only won $3 on the freaking drawing. Actually, I lost $22

LOL! I won $5 on my $20 investment...I think I came out ahead!
Oh well for a couple days it was nice to dream about that $100,000 HT setup!

but remember the titans was about a football team of that name and had nothing to do about gods or Olympians
