Holy sh*t

[Dailyan]

I remember catching this on cable a few years ago. I thought the idea was interesting but the execution kind of eh. Maybe I'm due for another re-watch.

[DJR662]

Never seen this, but might be interesting from what I have read.

[HBAngel]

This is a fun movie and a cool concept. Will definitely pick this up

[brainofj72]

It’s a great little movie. Cool concept made with a lot of creativity and (of course) a great performance by Kirk Douglas. Interestingly, Lustig implied on the podcast that this is one of BU’s best-selling titles and every time they release it, it “pays for all his sins,” haha.

[LexInHD]

This is one of those "I buy three copies of it." films. One to hold in each hand and one to watch. It's one of my guilty pleasures. I wish BU had made a 4K DCP available to screen at Alamo Drafthouse.

[SpaceMind]

Love this movie. So awesome to be able to get it in 4K!

I really like Kirk in it a lot. He first comes across in the set up with a nod and wink that he knows this is schlock, but yeah, I'm going to have fun with it. Then proceeds to play it deftly serious, yet still nodding and winking all over the shop. The mans a heavyweight.

Still could happen! This one’s a ways off...waiting for Technicolor to open back up to get things moving with the restoration.

[DR Herbert West]

Nice.

[RalphoR]

Looks like I actually guessed one right. Great news!

Which is basically how these labels have to operate. You use the 'populist' stuff to actually make money which then pays for all the smaller stuff that barely sell two dozen copies between them.

Such a shame even the mighty Criterion and Arrow can't/won't use this approach when it comes to 4K UHD, it's getting ridiculous now

Arrow is getting more hostility though for their HD Blu-ray pricing. They seem to live in an alternate dimension, pretending this UHD format doesn't exist.

Great news. Day one purchase for me.

For one disc? The Game is not the entire Arrow line up.

I'm in for this

I remember being scared shitless because of the temporal phenomenon. The score by john scott is triumphantly heroic.

Let's forget about Arrow, as they've clearly forgotten about the burgeoning UHD community. This thread is better served as having an excuse/reason to post a YouTube clip of Kirk dancing to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
