John Carpenter on HDNet

[UFAlien]

I just finished watching The Fog on HDNet. Now, it wasn't great - there was haloing from EE, the fine grain turned into an ugly blocky mess toward the end, there were some missing frames and print damage, and the audio occasionally went out of sync. But there was some notably increased detail and the color was great. It's certainly the best I'd seen the movie look, and Dean Cundey's wonderful cinematography leapt off the screen (Did I mention it was in OAR?).

Then I saw the promo stating that next Wednesday, They Live will be playing. Can't wait!

Now, I know there was a foreign BD release of The Fog, but I'd also heard it wasn't handled all that well. Still, this has really made me excited for a Region A release. Especially if given a high bitrate (and a slightly better source print), this movie could look great!
