Re: Digital movies in hollywood vaults at risk?

This is an ongoing risk. I’ve had several projects where creative files are no longer readable or even openable, and another company I work with had a drive failure that means some master files on a couple of episodes of something are "stuck" on a drive that doesn’t want to work. This is why, if it ...

Re: Harold And The Purple Crayon Live Action Movie!

Yeah, plus a few years of Night At The Museums, Pixels, Free Guys and any number of other imaginary stuff come to life stories…

Ironically, this looks totally uninspired!

Re: Disney Movie Rewards

I doubt by this time that Cinders comes with a slip anymore, Dace. I didn’t even really like the film that much, but like Mulan, enough to take a "free" 4K from Insiders. The trick with those cardboard packs is to slice or tear carefully down one side, past the box inside but close enough to open a ...

Re: Disney Movie Rewards

Ugh. So not Exclusives there, then? Just regular sets? Insiders US I think had added a couple of new ones, but it’s all mostly Marvel stuff, which I’m out of that particular game on.

Cena should have had "Release Coyote Vs Acme" on that envelope… ;)

Re: Yellow Submarine on Blu-ray

No idea this got as far as it did! I’ve only read about Al Brodax and Strawberry Fields, and that it was abandoned early on, which originally indicated not much was done. Wow! Not that it all looks great: there's a complete mix of styles that would have looked pretty garish back in '85, or even the ...

Re: Oscar Contest 2024

Congrats to Jafar as our winner, with only two noms down! JLFM comes second, losing out on just three, and AlexK, myself and a few others picking just four wrong nods, which I think is my best placing in terms of our staff picks! Thanks for playing, guys, and for our very small but merry band of Cha...

Re: Oscar Contest 2024

As much as I love Giamatti, and liked The Holdovers enough (though very interested in the sudden "scandal" that’s cropped up around it!), I will say that Giamatti is very Giamatti in it. I’m not a particular Murphy fan, but momentum has it this year.

Re: Oscar Contest 2024

Now that it’s closed and ballots are in, here’s my thinking… So this has been the most interesting year since Covid because all the releases have been so fragmented, which I guess has been a good thing — more eclectic choices — and a bad thing — you need to retain various services and keep taking tr...
