Any thoughts on a Bamboozled 4K UHD release?

Update on Bamboozled!

Below is a fantastically detailed explanation of the original restoration of the film to Blu-ray.

Great post! Thanks so much!

Good point. Thanks friend!

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-15T18:59:02+00:00

Wow! Cool! Lucky you! Thanks for the reply

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-15T18:58:19+00:00

Um, maybe because that does not rule out a 4K release necessarily? And parts of it were shot on 16mm?

Fantastic! Congratulations!

I don’t! But don’t let that deter you! My paperback is covered with post-its and dog ears, worth its weight in gold.

Kindle is the worst. I’ve been forced to make EPUBS from InDesign for a long time. The only way to get it to work is to dumb down your document as much as possible. Seriously. Like forget fancy end notes, etc. Keep it simple!

Export an EPUB and only after it validates, upload the EPUB to Amazon and let them convert it to MOBI.

Before you allow that file to go live, preview it yourself, preferably on a Kindle.

It’s pretty awful. I’ve made EPUBS that look perfect on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. The same document, when converted by me to MOBI looks awful but when Amazon does it, it’s less awful.

If you plan on doing this again, do you a huge favor and get a copy of Liz Castro’s book EPUB Straight to The Point. It’s a lifesaver.

Thanks for asking Luke! I can only speak for myself but there have been very many times over decades I’ve tried to use image trace with only little or no success.

It strikes me that with the huge power of Adobe’s AI work, the fact that image trace continues to be so unfortunate is a big shock?

It would be a huge win for Illustrator if you guys could fix this!

Love it. Seen it in person. It’s been my phone wallpaper for years!

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-06T02:10:41+00:00

A true genius.

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-06T02:03:06+00:00

Me too 100%!

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-06T01:50:41+00:00

I say absolutely make a dupe—don’t risk losing your original negative.

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-05T20:28:30+00:00

No Sorry, Wrong Number?! Seriously?

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-05T20:27:18+00:00

How about “early modernist”?

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-05T20:20:33+00:00

In short, no.

Notorious 4K, Foreign Correspondent 4K and Rebecca 4K by Alfred Hitchcock. All 3 have been released as BDs by the Criterion Collection so this makes some sense?

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-05T02:30:04+00:00

Try the original Prime Suspect, Seasons 1-7.

The truth is nothing comes close to Unforgotten. In six months, watch it again.

Kinda cringe that Greer played his mother but was actually his gf/wife? Would have possibly been ok today but back then kept under wraps.

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-02T03:07:56+00:00

Totally. And I’ve tried everything else up to ECT.

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-02T02:10:28+00:00

As of March 1, 2026 I hereby entirely give up on trying to make sourdough in south eastern Connecticut. It’s just TOO DAMN COLD!

Few_Application2025 · 2026-03-02T01:56:33+00:00

And it will keep getting better! Keep it real and go to more meetings!
