1977

@andrewz if you felt like it, Gerhardt's Return of the Jedi would make a nice companion piece

They should get a fax machine.

A better artwork choice for Spain at least:

Wow, that is gorgeous work! I have nothing but praise for your work on this, it looks magnificent and I have no suggestions to improve it! Thank you so much andrewz for this, it shall take pride of place in my digital library for the very first score album I ever acquired at the tender age of 5 years If I may ask, which font did you use for the titling? I tried to find a match online to no avail. Many thanks again

Welcome to the inevitable future of physical media (if it has any future at all).

Only essential goods are allowed through our borders though. Even internal e-commerce is not allowed (except for essential goods).

Legends of the Fall: @Smeltington no Pitt face in sight:

This better not sell out before I can get it. Our borders are still closed and will most likely remain that way for a number of months.

Rummage Thor, rummage!

Crowdfund? Would be nice but I'm thinking WB would not permit it. Wonder what Williams would think of this project if it ever reached his ear.

Plus our movie streaming selections are extremely limited where I live. We only have Netflix, Amazon Prime and a local offering, with hardly more than maybe 500 films between them and focussed mainly on 2000s output.

There's one in the FSM custom cover art thread that features his, um, backside. Posted on April 18 by user Solium (you'll probably need to scroll up to find it) https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=138846&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=10&r=454#bottom

I have not listened to those either (although I do not own Warning Shot and only have one track from Raggedy Man), plus another 30 or so Goldsmiths in my collection I have never played. Off hand things like Love Field, Malice, The Sand Pebbles, Along Came a Spider, The Last Castle, Matinee, Rent- A- Cop, Breakheart Pass, Breakout, High Velocity, Contract on Cherry Street, The Going Up of David Lev and on and on.

If so, then they should mark the titles as Sold Out and put us out of our misery. SAE keeps moving the ETA of these titles forward by two months, obviously they have no clue as to when they will be back in stock nor does Intrada. In any case they'll probably never be with the current state of things. I'm frankly amazed LLL and Intrada are still releasing new stuff.

Are you planning to upload the whole score once it's complete in lossless form without the video? With custom cover art hopefully

Even so I still don't understand that it can take more than three years to restock a title. Surely the queues aren't that long?

I've never understood why LLL is able to restock their stuff so quickly, while Intrada has not been able to restock Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Rocketeer for years.

I don't have a favourite. I love them all for different reasons. Battle of the Heroes too. And Never Surrender.

^Don't expect too much. All I can remember from seeing that film is that they couldn't even get the position of Durban correct on the map, the whole cinema audience LOLed at that. Re Legends, I am listening to the DVD iso and to be honest I think the OST covers all the highlights. I will probably get the Intrada purely as it is one of Horner's signature scores from the 90s along with Braveheart and Apollo 13.

I know right, especially after the Rocketeer and Mummy debacles.

Damn he got old!

Everyone and his dog morphed into Henry Mancini in the '60s it seems. Johnny Williams comedy scores from that era are a hoot!

So then why the outcry? And the re-issue with actual film grain?? With the arrival of Blu-ray, it took film studios and home video production houses a few years to refine their workflows and figure out how to best treat older catalog titles. Initially, many stuck with what worked in the DVD days, smoothing away grain with heavy digital noise reduction and trying to make details pop with edge enhancement. These supposed picture quality remedies weren't particularly distracting in standard definition, but in 1080p —which is much more capable of displaying the nuanced texture of film—they're fraught with ugly side effects. In strong enough doses, edge "enhancement" gives footage a harsh, filtered quality, adding halo-like artifacts to hard outlines. Worse, de-noising invariably robs a high-def picture of clarity, softening the image and giving actors' faces a shiny, unnatural, almost airbrushed-looking sheen.The two go hand-in-hand. DNR is accomplished through wholesale blurring, and then digital sharpening is used in an attempt to restore detail. The argument for keeping these techniques in place was that viewers wouldn't want a grainy picture on their slick new HDTVs. The counterargument, of course—which will alway win out for those who truly care about film restoration and preservation—is that grain is an inherent aspect of celluloid filmmaking, and that the act of smearing it away is akin to filing down the brush strokes on the Mona Lisa in order to create a "cleaner" picture. That initial edition, however, was quite literally glossy; the natural filmic patina of the fine-grained original 65mm negative had been egregiously scrubbed out of each and every frame, inadvertently removing detail in the process. Some viewers inexplicably approved—just look at the user reviews here on the site—but I have a feeling they'll reconsider after seeing the night-and-day difference in 20th Century Fox's all-new remaster of the film, which ditches the DNR and edge enhancement in favor of a gorgeously unaltered picture that's drastically sharper. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Patton-Blu-ray/55325/#Review He put too much moisturiser on that day.

I wish digital cinematography looked more like film.

^Wonder in what condition the sources are? Hope it's not like Peter Proud. I need to relisten to my DVD iso.
