Re: SUPERGIRL (1984) Improved German Blu-Ray
I'll be interested in your take. I have always been fascinated by this film's production history and how it ultimately came off as a near-miss done in chiefly by Reeve's falling out with the Salkinds which made him back out of a planned cameo that IMO was absolutely needed to get this film linked to...

Re: Another good "Hang on to you physical media" article
I have NEVER taken part in streaming. I have always been adamant about owning a copy and having a physical version whether on disc or as a downloaded file that is permanently saved on my computer (mp3, mp4, iso etc.) To me there is no substitute for that.

Re: Tim Burton Remaking ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN
For all the hype the original has gotten as a cult film over the decades, it is really a BORING movie. You get sixty minutes of tedium and the ballyhooed F/X stuff only take up the last ten minutes or less basically.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I have to revisit "Topaz" soon, but I tended to think it was okay even as I acknowledge that post-"The Birds" Hitchcock really declined in his output. But I can enjoy "Torn Curtain," "Topaz" and "Family Plot" pretty much. "Frenzy" though is...

Re: KING KONG (1976) on 4K UHD
Not just a horrible font but you'll notice they've flipped the original image and cropped it to avoid showing the World Trade Center.

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
I've had a chance to sample more episodes from later seasons and that problem that was clear in the Season 1 episodes isn't coming up so whatever the cause it's unique to that Season only. I also got around to ripping the music/FX tracks from the four Gil Melle scored episodes of S1 (one of which wa...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
Someone on HTF suggested that maybe what happened is that the presence of the isolated music/FX tracks might be bleeding over into the regular mono channel. He said that on the Trek Blu-Ray there were instances of new sound/FX bleeding into the original audio channel so that might be the explanation...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
I hope someone can explain it, because in all the years I watched this show multiple times I never had a problem with these scenes and that's why I made sure to go back and check the DVD to make sure it wasn't my imagination. Believe me, I'm not looking for another excuse to complain about this set.

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
Well I have just finished "Blueprint For Murder" the last episode of Season 1 and there is no question that Kino's remastering REALLY screwed up in the sound mixing. Like in "Dead Weight" there are scenes where what should be background noise is literally drowning out the dialogu...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
I'd note that we had the Mystery Movie intro in the DVD releases of "McMillan And Wife". It was admittedly a case where they used one opening and then "branched" into the episode but at least we got to see it there. It is true that in recent years, with the publication of David K...

Re: COLUMBO Coming on Blu-Ray From Kino
So I got it for Christmas. The transfers are certainly an upgrade and the evidence of the original commercial fade-outs are more apparent than on previous releases of Universal TV shows where they tended to streamline those out. The isolated music F/X tracks are interesting in spots (like for instan...

Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - Holiday Gift Guide Part 2
Thumbs down on the fact that Paramount didn't take advantage of Blu-Ray to fix the butchery they did on "The Odd Couple" (specifically Seasons 3-5. Season 1 was free and clear and Season 2 had only one minor piece of background music replaced) Some of the stuff they cut was public domain f...

Re: GODZILLA MINUS ONE - Andy's Review
Andy thanks for mentioning that, because that may well be something I missed because of my angst distraction caused by my boss's e-mails that like I said were making me overly self-conscious about the time. Next time I see it, I know I'll be watching for those points with a more discerning eye than ...
