[LIST] directional dialogs on home media
#11
Also Pixar movies have directional dialogs - I guess because it's unnatural for kids to hear voices to come NOT where the characters are... frankly, it's quite unnatural to me too, in particular after you have heard a directional dialogs track; that's why I started this list! Smile

The restorations of Spartacus and My Fair Lady retain their full panning dialogue-especially Spartacus. Prior to this they only had it to varying degrees but for the 7.1 new mixes they left the full panning width.

There's a number of others but I can't think off the top of my head. I should've started a list myself ages ago! 2001 on the original mix pre WB DVD has a little for example.

I personally appreciate it when it is an inherent choice in the original conception of the film...it's disturbing to me when it's done in the remastering to a legacy movie just for the sake of doing. Alfonso Cuaron has used it in a lot of his films for a purpose....Children of Men, Gravity, Roma. It served Uncut Gems well too with its chaos...helped to distinguish all the overlapping Altman-esque dialog. Not unusual that Skip Lievsay handled the sound design on all those films except Children of Men. It's also a much more elegant technique in modern soundtracks as opposed to older films...it can draw a lot of unnecessary attention to itself in older films because of the primitive techniques. I need to familiarize myself with more super early examples...admittedly, I have not seen Spartacus or the My Fair Lady examples you're mentioning here...

Suspiria for sure - at least on the Synapse BD/UHD release.

It's still there on the UHD. It's been, uh, smoothed out a bit. Sounds like they've used the stems from the 35mm release, as opposed to the 70mm that the DVD/BD did.

The 70mm was only a blowup, hence its 6-track *should* be an "upmix" from the 4-track - or am I wrong?

Quote:Few Good Men,A (1992) - UHD-BD - front soundstage panning of dialogue

The UHD is an Atmos remix. Can this dialogue panning be found on the original stereo surround mix?

I think the last time we heard the 2.0 mix was on DVD.
