"Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Restoration): James Cameron’s defining 1991 sci-fi action landmark returns in a meticulously restored presentation."

There's already a few screenings set for May at high profile venues.
IFC Center: https://www.ifccenter.com/films/terminat...gment-day/
AFI: https://silver.afi.com/movies/detail/0100005493/
Academy Museum: https://www.academymuseum.org/programs/d...862eb8a547

Of course the big talk of this forum will be whether or not this will be a "new" 4K master or just the old one showing yet again. Personally I think it's just going to be the old master but either way I'm excited to see it if it comes near me. Thoughts from yall?]]>

(have posted in a spoiler below since a couple of them could be racially sensitive so didn't want to offend anyone) 


A speech by Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale) which tells how America helped win the war despite the attack at Pearl Harbor has been altered for Japanese and German releases, with the word "us" changed to "America's"

the December 7th date was changed to December 8th due to the time zone difference in Japan;

the words "Jap Suckers" changed to "Japs";

Colonel James Doolittle's (Alec Baldwin) line "Kill as many of those bastards as possible" was changed to "I myself would choose a tasty target";

Evelyn's (Kate Beckinsale) line "Before Doolittle's raid, Americans knew nothing but defeat; after it, nothing but victory" was changed to "After it, there was hope of victory";

a scene showing Japanese women in traditional kimonos and carrying parasols during Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo was omitted.


So i managed to pick up the Japanese 2 disc DVD to check it out as i assumed these changes wouldn't transition to the DVD releases

skipped to the scene where they changed the date on the calendar and compared it to the D+ stream and there it was! The Japanese version showed it changing from the 7th to the 8th due to the time zone difference of the attack.

I’m an avid collector of 3d Blurays 
. Recently I have hit a snag when hunting for coraline and kubo on 3d Bluray. Anyone who can either connect me to the full ISO’s or even a way to obtain the films would be more than appreciated. I don’t seek to resell or manipulate, I only seek to archive and see these films as they were meant to be seen. Thank you everyone]]>

I remember a 720p open matte HDTV that I had some years ago, but I don't think I still have it. Is there a 1080p, whether from HDTV or some streaming platform that still has the pre-remaster colors that are very much like the print I saw circa 2014-2015 in a Mann's retrospective, whenever "Blackhat" was released?]]> Was there ever a good Blu-ray in some country that retains the original 35mm colors, unlike the US botched remaster as per usual when it comes to Mann's involvement?

The Ugly News:
I sent the following text to ‘Arrow’ this morning…

Hi. Regarding the forth-coming bluray release of ‘For A Few Dollars More’, in May… Arrow’s product information states that an English audio track IS included for the film, but there is NO mention of an original Italian audio track being included. Is this an oversight on Arrow’s part, or is there a reason that the original Italian mono audio is not being included? Any further information would be greatly appreciated.


The reply from ‘Arrow’…
Thank you for getting in touch.
Unfortunately, the Fist Full of Dollars is the only title to have an Italian Language.
I hope this helps answer your query.
Kind regards,
Daniel

So, there’s no reason being given for omitting the Italian language track… [Image: neutral_face.png?v=12]
Also, going by the above reply, I presume/assume that this means ‘The Good, The Bad & The Ugly’ Bluray probably won’t have an Italian language track either…Quien Sabe?]]> The Good News:

The description is as follows:

    "The newly restored 4K version, scanned from the original negative, presents the first full 90-minute cut, combining the 60-minute source edit of the performance, with additional Abbey Road Studios documentary segments covering the recording of 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon. The amphitheater concert includes performances of seminal tracks Echoes and One of These Days, alongside earlier hits Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and A Saucerful of Secrets. Also features a brand-new audio remix by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original recording."

I'm embedding all three down below (Days Of Being Wild, Chungking Express & Fallen Angels in that order). Unfortunately from what I can tell though, they seem to not really be playable on the site here, so you'll have to jump to some other tab to check them out.



Anyways, given I know that the color situation for WKW's works have always been a mess to keep straight, I thought I'd drop these here if anyone's remotely interested in attempting some sort of oddball blanket regrade to any other existing UHDs out there.

That said, I imagine you'd have to track down the original encodes of these trailers to get anything workable out of them from something like Dr. Dre's color matcher. I don't suppose any WKW fan would know where these trailers were included, do they?]]>
