In preservation, we all know him. He's one of the guys who says NO when you want to access UCLA material, something I long ago gave up on.

It should be clear that Mr. MacQueen is no longer at UCLA and no longer speaks for them. This is not what I consider a bad thing given his attitude.

I've just discovered Gorilla at Large, albeit in 2d on DVD. A great movie, very different to what I was expecting. Considering that this is 20th Century Fox, and as such now owned by Disney, is there any liklihood of seeing this in 3D? Do Disney permit licensing out of 20CF titles, like 20CF used to?

No they are bastards. Apparently they bought that library so they could shove it in the vault and throw away the key.
But if I'm wrong that'd be brilliant. |

I wish you were wrong but all the evidence suggests you are correct, so unfortunately we have no chance of seeing Gorilla At Large on 3D Blu-ray.

Yep. After we get our paws on Robot Monster, that leaves three Golden Age horror/sci-fi genre 3D titles, at least two of which we're not likely to get on 3D blu ray. Two of them (like Robot Monster) feature a guy in a gorilla suit... the other a bunch of girls in cat suits...

At least we'll get 1 gorilla-suit movie! The other two, sadly not At Large anytime soon. We need someone working on the inside, bust them out.
The girls in catsuits might even stand a better chance of getting a 3D-Bluray release than Avatar 2. Fingers crossed for that one. |

Regarding I, the Jury, the recent accusations made against the 3-D Film Archive (3DFA) and their subsequent fallout with ClassicFlix’s upcoming Blu-ray 3D release sickens me. I believe further examination of the situation is needed to understand the story. Since 2012, Bob Furmanek has been happily and actively engaging with 3D enthusiasts on home theater internet forums. Deleting his I, the Jury announcement thread and going “radio silent” afterward was out of character for him, and I would like to ascertain why this happened.
Firstly, I would like to explore the 3DFA’s past relationship with I, the Jury by creating a timeline of their attachment to the film with links to their source posts. Secondly, I would like to highlight comments and accusations made by the 3DFA’s restoration peers, surrounding the TCM screening and Blu-ray 3D announcement. I believe that these comments have damaged their reputation to the point of forced removal from the project. Thirdly, I would like to offer reasons why collaboration with the 3DFA would benefit I, the Jury’s 3D audience and be in the best financial interest of the rights owners and the Blu-ray 3D distributor. PART 1 I, the Jury/3-D Film Archive Timeline: July 24, 1953 – I, the Jury premieres in Chicago, IL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_the_Jury_(1953_film) 1991 – Bob Furmanek finds and recombines the only surviving dual 35mm 3D print of I, the Jury. https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...&postcount=980 July 27, 1999 – Bob Furmanek presents the UK’s first 3D play date of I, the Jury at the National Film Theatre in London.

Harris is confident in the 3D work of Roundabout, citing a “major history with 3D productions”. Despite the anonymous report of uncorrected misalignment, he sees no problem with keeping the 3DFA out of the loop. [Show spoiler] https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...9/post-5114456 May 7, 2022 – Scott MacQueen comments a copy of ClassicFlix’s post saying that the 3DFA is no longer involved in their release, adding “What more is there to say?” [Show spoiler] https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update...94701688832%29 PART 3 Why the 3DFA Should Collaborate on I, the Jury’s Current 3D Master: Bob Furmanek of the 3DFA preserved I, the Jury’s only 35mm 3D print in existence, has promoted and maintained interest in the film over the past 30 years, presented the film in 3D with a large, enthusiastic audience to Mickey Spillane and Biff Elliot before their deaths, and planted the seed with its UK rights holder for its digital restoration. He knows its 3D presentation well, and his archive should be allowed to collaborate on its upcoming release. Firstly, 3DFA collaboration is good for 3D audience viewing comfort and enjoyment. Part of the 3DFA’s typical restoration process involves correcting 3D alignment, including vertical misalignment and size, rotational, and other geometric 3D distortions, frame-by-frame for the entire film. I would like to refer you to an evaluation by Greg Kintz, the technical director of the 3DFA, of Shout Factory’s 2020 release of Paramount’s 3D master of Friday the 13th Part 3 on Blu-ray 3D, which was later recalled, adjusted, repressed, and replaced at the distributor’s expense due to customer complaints over the alteration of the convergence point of its opening title pop-out. Notice, in particular, the last two linked images where Kintz compares the Shout Factory image, converted to anaglyph for ease of demonstration, to his own version of the same image with his alignment corrections. https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...&postcount=781 Original misaligned: [Show spoiler] 3DFA alignment corrected: [Show spoiler] With glasses off, notice how much more red/cyan displacement is seen in the original image. With glasses on, notice how much easier it is for the eyes to focus on small details in the corrected image. The uncorrected original image is fuse-able, but it is slightly blurry in comparison. Over the course of an entire film, watching images like this causes eyestrain and headache in sensitive individuals. Even for those practiced with stereoscopic imagery, the corrected image just looks sharper and clearer and easier to look at. Performing this sort of alignment work is necessary for a top-quality 3D presentation. Except for those mastered by 3DFA, Warner Bros., and Sony Pictures, most vintage Blu-ray 3D releases do not correct alignment, which leads to common complaints of eyestrain, such as those heard from the discs of Friday the 13th Part 3, Jaws 3-D, Amityville 3-D, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, and Comin’ at Ya!. An anonymous 3D professional complained of alignment errors in I, the Jury’s current 3D master after its TCM screening. ClassicFlix was right in originally wanting to consult the 3DFA to see if there indeed are any alignment errors to be corrected and should be allowed to do so after paying money for the license. Secondly, 3DFA collaboration is good for production of the Blu-ray 3D disc. The 3DFA operates as an independent company outside of the Hollywood system, which allows them to charge a lower price to small companies, like ClassicFlix, on small budgets. Having the 3DFA create the digital master for disc replication will likely be significantly cheaper than ClassicFlix can source elsewhere. Additionally, the 3DFA has their own proprietary anaglyph conversion software, employed on their last four releases. Collaboration with the 3DFA will ensure not only a comfortable full HD 3D version to be enjoyed on 3DTVs and projectors, but also the creation of a high-quality anaglyph version for 2D displays, enabling a broader audience to purchase and watch the film in 3D. Note that alignment errors especially wreak havoc on anaglyph presentations, as seen in Kintz’s earlier linked evaluation of Friday the 13th Part 3. Thirdly, 3DFA collaboration is good for disc sales, which makes more money for everyone involved. Given their prolific output of 25 Blu-ray 3D releases and active social presence on multiple home theater enthusiast forums and social media accounts, the 3DFA has built a fan following over the past 8 years. Through promotion on Facebook, Blu-ray.com, HomeTheaterForum, Nitrateville, DVDBeaver, TheDigitalBits, etc. they reach tens of thousands of home theater enthusiasts. Associating their brand with the disc will bring the disc to the attention of a larger audience, help viewers associate it with quality, and overall, sell more discs. In conclusion, I, the Jury, John Alton’s film noir 3D cinematographic masterpiece is an important release for 3D and noir enthusiasts. It deserves the best presentation possible on Blu-ray 3D where it will reach a much larger audience than its festival screenings. It has already received a premium photo-chemical restoration from UCLA. There is no reason why the 3D experts at the 3DFA should not be allowed to comb the digital master for any remaining 3D errors and prepare it for its final release to consumers. I am of firm belief that any idea of Bob Furmanek and the 3DFA attempting to claim I, the Jury’s TCM restoration as their own work is a false twisting of words, fabricated by a former member of UCLA Film & TV Archive who selfishly wishes to prevent their collaboration, so he will not have to share his bread with them. The 3DFA has a long history with I, the Jury’s preservation, and there is no one more experienced to stereoscopically prepare its current restoration for Blu-ray 3D release. PART 4 I, the Jury Blu-ray 3D Post-Release Reviews and Comments: October 25, 2022 - Matt Hough of HTF reviews I, the Jury's Blu-ray 3D as a "fantastic restoration" with a "hearty recommendation." https://www.hometheaterforum.com/i-t...d-film-review/ October 26, 2022 - Harris reviews I, the Jury's Blu-ray 3D as the finest 3D he has ever seen with stereo alignment "as good as one might possibly present." https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...4k-uhd.377453/ October 27, 2022 - Jeffrey Kauffman of Blu-ray.com review's I, the Jury's Blu-ray 3D as "largely superb" and "really excellent almost all of the time," linking to this timeline for an overview of it's complicated restoration history. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/I-the...315680/#Review October 29, 2022 - Harris jests that he and Scott MacQueen take full credit for the disc's superb quality and share great pride in the project. ![]() https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...3/post-5173704 October 30, 2022 - Harris clarifies that he had nothing to do with the UCLA/Roundabout restoration and offers further argument for why 3D misalignment is a minimal error and that fixing it could be wrong because it removes the film from its original presentation. He also shares his thoughts on Kickstarter projects and film restoration performed outside of the Hollywood studio system. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...3/post-5173927 October 31, 2022 - Harris defends the restoration's decision to remove I, the Jury's original theatrical intermission card, stating that it is unessential, unnecessary, and interruptive to narrative flow. Note that despite these feelings, intermission cards were included in Harris' high-profile restorations of Lawrence of Arabia and My Fair Lady. Also note that all Golden Age 3D features wrote an intermission into their scripts as an intentional break at a critical plot moment and as an opportunity for the projectionist to change film reels for the second half of the feature. [Show spoiler] https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...3/post-5174161 October 31, 2022 - Ronald Epstein, former HTF owner, updates his Top 30 Must-Own 3D Titles list for the first time in three years to include I, the Jury as #1, the best-looking 3D restoration he has ever seen, akin to Warner Bros.' MPI's work (Dial M for Murder, House of Wax, Kiss Me Kate - all of which include original intermission cards) with no alignment issues. Most 3D films of late are not entertaining enough for him to watch more than 10 minutes, but this one is different. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...3/post-5174223 https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...titles.300565/ October 31, 2022 - Harris agrees that I, the Jury's 3D restoration quality is most similar to MPI's work, taking into account inherent issues with WarnerColor. https://www.hometheaterforum.com/com...3/post-5174253 November 4, 2022 - MacQueen celebrates successful Blu-ray reviews at HTF by sharing his version of events on LinkedIn, calling 3DFA an "autogenic" archive/film collector who tried to take credit for UCLA's restoration, while simultaneously planting a report of bogus technical problems that could only be solved by them, so they could bill the distributor to fix them. They were forced to abandon this plot by the rights holder. ![]() [Show spoiler] (edited version)[Show spoiler] [Show spoiler] https://www.linkedin.com/posts/scott...487962112-lz3B Last edited by BleedOrange11; 11-06-2022 at 06:44 AM. |

Stellar work, BleedOrange! Given the available facts, I'd say that's as complete a case as can be made at this time. I'd suspected as much, and you've provided even more evidence to back up those suspicions. We, the jury, find in the 3DFA's favour, pending expert stereoscopic scrutiny of the final 3D blu-ray.
If those reported misalignment issues remain uncorrected on the finished release, we can be pretty sure what happened here. If it turns out to be a primo 3D presentation, with no issues, maybe we'll never know what really happened. Personally, I'd like to know more about that anonymous 3D professional in attendance at the TCM screening. His reported bad review seems to have been the catalyst for this whole flare-up. |

I think that the Exhibit A above is quite telling. It’s pretty apparent who has an axe-grinding agenda here, and it sure the hell ain’t the 3DFA. Robert Harris’s comments are pathetically embarrassing and cringe-inducing, especially coming from a professional archivist (or any professional, really), and Scott MacQueen has apparently left himself wide open for a libel charge. If I were the rights holder of this 3D classic, I know who I’d want to align myself with in restoring it and presenting it. That’s right, actual professionals who have decades of actual specialized experience with restoring and presenting 3D films. The incomparable body of work in that field of Bob Furmanek and his team at the 3DFA speaks for itself, as does their professionalism.

If the blu-ray doesn’t have alignment issues then it’ll be pretty obvious what happened. No need to pay for something to be done twice if it’s already done right the first time. No conspiracy, just common sense. Until the movie is released we won’t know.

Obviously that 4K presentation is a touchy subject, and there are definitely issues that even I have with the resulting discs, but Harris has basically presented a case that the work he did, which is necessarily interpretive, is the *true* Godfather restoration, while the new one is not a restoration at all. This despite the new one literally restoring more of the film using original or highest quality materials. Add in the guy's seeming misunderstandings about the possibilities of HDR to better capture the look of a film presentation and I dunno... Maybe, great as he is at the work he does, we shouldn't be going to him as an authority on commentary about projects or discs he wasn't involved with. Did 3DFA need to be brought in on I, The Jury to fix things? Maybe, maybe not. Would it be a little insulting to the people who actually did the 4K restoration to bring in an outside party to check or fix their work without involving them? Sure, perhaps, if that's what was happening. Are these professionals acting like petty jerks, needlessly denigrating a guy who's done incredible work rescuing the 3D presentations of films that in some cases never even got to screen publicly in the format they were filmed for? Yes, clearly. |

I don’t think so at all. Those libelous comments appear to have been damaging enough to get the 3DFA kicked off the project, which could have further negative professional repercussions for them.

I tend to believe the anonymous reviewer because firstly, he uses very specific technical language. You have to have some experience with 3D to even understand what he is saying. He sounds like he has done this before and knows what to look for, whereas other positive reviews from Rode and Letterboxed are limited to general language like "3D never looked better" or "restoration was gorgeous" or "cinematography was great". We have this from Osmos:
Secondly, to my knowledge, there are no other 3D restorations from UCLA or Roundabout, which makes me think that this is their first time doing stereoscopic work from vintage elements. While the individuals involved may be experts at the top of their craft in 2D restoration, they may not know how to assess and correct 3D alignment. This scenario is not uncommon, as seen in some restorations funded by Universal and Paramount and others. |

Robot Monster (announced, pending) Plus a few dozen 3D shorts, cartoons and other bonus extras on various releases including 3D Rarities volumes one and two, plus several 3D feature restorations reportedly in the pipeline but not yet announced. On May 4th, Robert Harris claimed that Roundabout has "a major history with 3D productions." How many vintage 3D features has Roundabout worked on? Last edited by WaverBoy; 05-13-2022 at 02:35 PM. |
