yes @bronan. It was the theatrical cut as far as I can tell. I wish I'd checked to see if they fixed that missing music.. If I'd heard it, that would lend weight to the idea that its a newer transfer
@titanic I did watch Conan, I'll post my thoughts here, if it doesn't allow all of it I'll make a new post and link u: the Conan the Barbarian presentation last night.. I could argue both ways for it being a new 4k transfer. It looked filmic, detailed, lots of grain.. but it could've been a nice 1080 print. It might've been 4k, it was hard to tell. I did not see any evidence of HDR or renewed colors (increased saturation) or anything of that nature, possibly Akiro's red clothing now seemed more vivid? I may have also seen evidence of upscaling, but I'm not sure. It was squiggly lines in the sky behind Thulsa Doom in the beginning right before they behead Conan's mom. The issue is, it was Cinemark and the manager told me not all theaters have a 4k projector (just a few). So it could've been 4k screened on a 2k. The Day-for-night running from the wolves shot seemed fix, except, the outer part of the cave still had bright(ish) light coming in?? Conan punched the Lama, but there was no extra scene w/ the princess at Thulsa's throne-lair. I do not remember where the missing audio (score) should've been so I wasn't prepared to listen for that. It could've been a 5.1 presentation but it sounded super front-heavy to me. I was 1 of just 2 people in the whole theater, lol, I sat in the wheelchair access (I normally don't). The "never been screened" bonus features were just deleted scenes we've all seen before. Disappointing. I knew that "never before SCREENED" (not SEEN, get it?) comment was going to be sneaky like that. Often when they do these theater presentations it means a new disc is on the way (but not always).

@Bilbofett Did you watch Conan eventually? I think I saw someone at bluray.com saying that it didn't seem like a new master.
@titanic I'll let you know after Tuesday night if it looks like a new 4k master
German NES is the extended cut with alternate score. The US Warner cut shorter and has a different score.
Miami Vice 2006 UHD discussion-> https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=357061
what's wrong w/ Neverending Story? I thought that was a good 4k release? Or its blu-ray only?
^^so a 4k U.S. theatrical cut? Is that an impressive get? I'm not a huge BR fan, but I kinda know the differences between cuts (I think, lol)
MIAMI VICE 2006 movie coming to UHD finally! https://twitter.com/TheDiscFather/status...1783060480
YouTube's compression, even at 4K, does it no favors. Looked waaaay better on Tidal.
Thriller is now out in 4K from a new scan on multiple music services and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA
Does anybody knows if the new transfer of Wayne's World Restore The Stairway Joke?

In case anyone didn't know (I didn't) 'Nope' on BluRay includes IMAX scenes unlike the VOD version.
I think they'll milk the Disney+ streaming for a good while before ever putting a disc out.
@NeonBible Hoping for a disc release too, but unfortunately this is Disney we're talking about!
The new 4K remaster of The Muppet Christmas Carol extended version is finally coming to Disney+ in December. Hoping for a disc release too.
And Polar Express soon. Together with P,T&A its a really great year for festive releases!
Nice, one of my favorites. I see A Christmas Story and Elf are also out on UHD.
The new 4K transfer on Christmas Vacation is wonderful. Haven't listened closely to the new 5.1 track but stereo is also included and a commentary. Highly recommended.
General warning again: Windows update to version 22H2 has jacked up my Adobe Premiere, general codecs interaction, especially Lagarith (older codec) encoding and decoding..its not even displaying the full 8.3 filename w. extension in Premiere; its calling it ".av" instead of ".avi!" I don't think I can roll it back either. There's also reports of very sluggish performance handling large files in Windows, waveform drawing visibility vanishing for AAC audio after upgrading (in both video and audio editors), and Nvidia had a bug (also w/ Win11) of super slow frame-rates in games until they patched the driver. Beware!
Yes. I am in the beta test forum and we cannot believe that they released it. May be a corp decision.
Topaz VEAI 3.0 is out, lots of bugs unfortunately https://community.topazlabs.com/t/topaz-...0/35818/67
The Keep is the old LD master in OAR, while Near Dark is the StudioCanal BD master.
The Planes Traines and Automobiles 4k release with 75 extra minutes is the greatest announcement this year! 😄
Happy 60th to the James Bond movie franchise. I totally missed a Bond music tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Sad about that!
Look like they found parts from the legendary 3 hour cut of Planes, Trains and Automobile : https://twitter.com/jasondashbailey/stat...2812873729

I guess now is a good a time as any to finally watch Barry Lyndon as a mark of respect
The sound mix is definitely not as dynamic as the IMAX, and it very much reminded me of the standard version. Not bad, but also doesn't rock as it could have. Film is still awesome, but definitely works better on a big screen (Which I say to its credit)
Here is a review with some mention of the audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvBrbTmY3O0
Guys if you haven't watched the Disney+ series Light & Magic, Episode 6 is incredible for JP fans. They also used 35mm footage to showcase the movie
