Yep, it's insane. If it doesn't say "Release Day Delivery", you are more likely to get it quicker by just waiting and ordering it the day it's released. I cancelled something this morning that was due to arrive Thursday and re-ordered for same day delivery. Of course, many times when they offer same-day delivery, they don't deliver and it shows up the next day. Amazon just keeps getting worse and worse...

honestly I think with their inconsistencies and all, they are just stating any 'ol bullshit and stating a random future delivery date just to cover their asses - I checked on my account and 'Wizard' and 'Annabelle Comes Home' are both 'out for delivery' today - we will see.

Target has it. It was also featured in their weekly ad.

My cartwheel or Circle Target phone Ap when I scanned it came up 22.96 so they matched that prince for me at the register. Reg price is 24.99.

Full 4K screen captures from DVD Beaver :

Well, not like a modern 35mm film emulsion scanned in 8K and converted to 4k file, but for a emulsion of a 1939 film, it's incredible.

Imax did the new restortion work, using a technology similar to the one created by John Lowry (from Lowry Digital Images), since it analyze the grain pattern, check the grain position in one frame and in a sequence of very similar frames or similar things on nect and earlier frames, and since grain it's randow, they have a different spaces points and the analyze of it can lead to extract more details than one frame alone would present. This also helps reduce grain without kill details and helps to sharpen images without look artificial.

For original camera negative, such technology can make a film have more details than ever had.

The Kansas sequence, in sepia, did not survived in original camera negatives, since it burned in a film vault fire (while the technicolor negatives survived as was stored in other film vault) but there was fine grain masters shot in the 50's or 60's for the Kansas sequences. Fine grain have a much better quality for keep original image details if compared to film prints. For other side there is still some kind of loss of details, despite be a little loss. The Imax detail enhancement technology probably helped to recover the details in some degree but it would had recover even more if that sequence had survived as camera negatives.

I don't want to be critic, but they could had made 4K screencaptures like they did for 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Yes.

I see Itunes now lists it in 4k. I'm not home, anyone know if your previous purchase has upgraded to 4k? My vudu account says I have to purchase the UHD in order to see it in 4k

I ordered for pickup at one Target and got an email that it was sold out (before opening), so I switched to another Target, which had it -- and I saw no others in the store. They clearly didn't stock up even though it was in the ad. I got it for $15.46 with the B2G1 promotions.

It's a good day for classics because It's a Wonderful Life just showed up on my doorstep!

Had to go to 3 Sunrise Records here in Canada to finally find a copy. The second one I went to told me that only their bigger stores were getting it, so I wonder if this is one of those releases that will be limited for while.

Kyle15 · 10-29-2019, 05:52 PM

I got the last Steelbook reserved over at Best Buy. Gonna pick it up this afternoone.

shinobipopcorn · 10-29-2019, 06:14 PM

The BBY steel does not have the credits on the back like the stock pic. They are inside, just like the Zavvi one. The cover is not embossed however.

Yeah early this morning mine wasn't and now it is 4K. my copy of RAMBO 4 was 4k last week and now its back to HD so who knows with itunes...

FragnitoM · 10-29-2019, 07:16 PM

Best Buy didn't seem to order a lot of these. Got 1 of only 2 copies.. and other stores near me only had 2 copies... Thought this would be a really huge release

That always happens on release week. They often get 1-3 copies of new releases. Some of it is careful distribution but I also believe that they do it in order to drive demand. There will be more later.

The Wizard of Oz has been on promotional shippers and the feature wall countless times.
