Going through the screenshot comparisons of the new Fight Club 4K...clearly Fincher is deeply insecure about his work. So many tiny pointless little changes; remove a pimple here, add a skyscraper there, move a TV aerial slightly, throw in some lens flares! Utterly bizarre choices.
At least he's disowned Alien 3 so hopefully both cuts of that make it to 4K without being messed with.

I don't know if it's recent updates or websites not bothering with anything not Chromium any more but I'm encountered a lot of broken sites using Firefox lately.

Interesting...cinema listings have appeared for Michael Mann's Manhunter...THE FINAL CUT!
I've only ever seen the Theatrical Cut, not heard much praise for the Director's Cut. Interesting to see that it's getting another edit. Hopefully all three will come to 4K at some point.
Would be nice if we could get a Final Cut of The Keep some day! (And NO, there is no 210 minute cut of the Keep! Please let that BS rumour die at last!)

Next weekend, 12th April, is the 35th Anniversary of #Highlander 2 here in the UK! (The US had to wait until November to get their butchered cut)
My plan was to watch the Hong Kong #laserdisc (the only known official (ish) release of the International Cut of the film with the original English soundtrack) but I'm going to be away all next weekend and can't take a laserdisc player with me...so tonight will do.
Also I fancied an Ardbeg tonight instead of Glenmorangie again.

Even though I can't play this #VHD copy of #Highlander...I assume it's the exact same transfer of this #Laserdisc which I *can* play.

I'm not really a #car person but I am an minor #audiophile and I got excited when I spotted that according the the manual my car should be able to handle #multichannel #audio playback!
However in practice all I seem to be able to get when I try various 5.1 #SurroundSound test files are the front left and right, all other channels silent. So it seems to know their 5.1, but only playing 2 channels out of front and rear speakers.
Any car/audio people have any suggestions? #Skoda #Fabia 3 #Bolero

Dear #PeterCapaldi, #DoctorWho, and #music fans!
Does anyone have a video of the new version of the song "Beautiful and Weird", the one about Ken and Anne Marie?
I fell in love with the song at the Newcastle gig, went back to his first album and found a totally different song with different lyrics and story!
I found a short clip of it so I know I'm not going mad. Another video I found infuriatingly cuts off right as he's introducing the song!
Great gig. Catch him while he's on tour!

Yep, it finally happened; I now own a copy of #Highlander on a video format I can't actually play.
This isn't a #laserdisc, it's a #VHD (Video High Density)!

The new Japanese #4K #BluRay of #PerfectBlue looks like a huge upgrade over my UK Blu Ray, even without HDR.
Shame there's no subtitles of any form on the disc but I'm sure it will get an English language friendly international release soon enough.
(UK Blu first picture, JP 4K second)

One of my "holy grail" #Laserdiscs just arrived!
CAPTAIN SUPERMARKET!
The western version of the film had some boring title like #EvilDead 3 #ArmyOfDarkness, but only Japan released it with the true, superior title.
-
Tonight I finally watched one of the #laserdiscs that I got while I was in Japan last month.
"Who Am I?" - one of my favourite #JackieChan films. So much fun and great to finally see the full length Hong Kong cut which has different editing and is around 10 mins longer. Great 5.1 AC3 track too!

A friend is heading to #London for a few days and is asking for any recommendations for places to find #Laserdiscs.
The only place I've ever found them on my visits is Sister Ray's. Any other suggestions?
In my experience London is pretty poor for #Retro tech shopping.

For those of you who have never seen a #laserdisc player change sides!
It's a crazy design! The whole laser pickup flips to the opposite side of the machine while the disc stops, changes direction and speeds up again.
I assume all the stabilisation hardware built into the pickup made it too expensive to add one for each side. Either way you'd still have to wait for the disc to stop, change direction, and speed up again.

Considering my username I should really post more about #laserdiscs; that was kind of my thing over on the other site in the before times.
No idea why I've just not been in the #laserdisc zone lately. I really should sit down and watch some again soon; I've got plenty to pick from!

I managed to get a bit of signal from my #VCR into the #Sinclair #TV1 / #TV80 portable TV...but not a very stable one.
VCR menus came through nice and clear, but as soon as the #video started playing I got both horizontal and vertical scrolling that I couldn't seem to tune out.
Just wrapping a coax cable around the aerial for now which seems to work for others. Might need to try stripping the cable or something. Any tips, @avavsystems?
The yellow and dark bands are just camera artefacts.

I held off importing the US 4K release of #TheProphecy Trilogy as I knew that this was coming sometime soon, but this is the first time I've seen the gorgeous artwork!
God's Army (The Prophecy) is coming to #4K #BluRay in March from #PlaionPictures(formally #KochMedia).
The US Prophecy cut of the film will be 4K, while the International God's Army cut will apparently be presented in HD (with SD upscaling) on Blu Ray.
A friend worked on this release and I can't wait to see it.

VHD is somewhat similar to a #CED, but a much better designed and more stable format.
The video is stored on a vinyl disc that is hidden away in a (rather dirty) caddy. You can just make out the disc when you hold the caddy up to the light.
Here it is compared to CED and Laserdisc.

Yes! One of my favourite underrated gems, #CloudAtlas is finally getting a #4K #BluRay release! I hope there's a UK/EU version coming too so I can avoid importing.
Given the recent success of "Everything Everywhere All At Once" maybe there will be a warmer welcome waiting for this film nowadays.
-
It is interesting to finally read the US version of #CloudAtlas...but I do hope that the UK version continues to be published in the future. Maybe I should keep hold of my tatty paperback.

Our next #Christmas Film was the eternal classic #TokyoGodfathers by the legendary #SatoshiKon.
I honestly think that this film needs to be part of the Christmas canon for more people. It's an unconventional Christmas story but all the right feelings and messages are there.
Every time I watch a Satoshi Kon film I'm left with the feeling that we were robbed of a once in a lifetime genius. He left us with incredible works, but we missed out on everything he didn't get to make. #今敏 #東京ゴッドファーザーズ
