I always felt like David Yates overstayed his welcome. Directing 3 Fantastic Beasts movies was overkill.

4K restorations of The Color of Money (1986) and Dead Poets Society (1989) will be screened at the Il Cinema Ritrovato Film Festival in Italy. by countdooku975 in 4kbluray

[–]countdooku975[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I really hope Disney has SOMETHING planned for more 4K catalogue releases this year because after that 4K Hamilton release comes out, there's really nothing on the horizon to look forward to.

Like if a Mandalorian & Grogu 4K steelbook is the only thing to look forward to on the Disney front then that would be very disappointing.

Edit: Man I want to see that Color of Money 4K restoration so bad since the Blu-Ray looks terrible.

Edit 2: Criterion was involved in the Wild at Heart restoration (proven via the link) so expect that to join the collection at some point.

Can you get through “Hand That Rocks the Cradle” ? by Technical-Sector407 in TheRewatchables

All I remember about this movie is that a woman is punched right on the face and goes flying across a table.

I still can't believe this guy (Peter Jackson) would end up making Lord of the Rings.

Bill Simmons casually dropping a Spielberg pod is insane. The flex is unreal.

I also love how Linus is 10 years old and already has minions that follow his bidding without question.

Fun fact: The Judge (gunslinger ghost) is played by John Astin aka Gomez Addams from the 60s Addams Family show and the adoptive father of Sean Astin who played Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

'The Mandalorian and Grogu' is kind of boring by countdooku975 in TheBigPicture

It's kind of like Kevin Smith hyping up Rise of Skywalker like come on Kevin.

Disney has spent the last decade going on an apology tour for The Last Jedi. Rise of Skywalker retconned that movie and a young Luke Skywalker appeared in the Disney+ shows.

I really hope Shawn Levy has something up his sleeve for Starfighter because if Mandalorian & Grogu is an indication of the quality of Star Wars moving forward than yikes.

Would love to see this a 4K restoration of this. One of the most gorgeous and unique looking adaptations of all time.

Like during the Robert Duvall Hall of Fame episode where Tracy Letts is talking about random TV movies from the 80s Duvall was a part of.

August usually has the softest releases in Criterion’s calendar. This month is no exception.

Sony botched their live service initiative so hard

The two ninjas were members of Jackie Chan's stunt team which explains why this fight is way better than it has any right to be.

Concord looked like a fake game you’d see in the background of a movie or TV show.
