Either way, Gil Taylor did a great job!hmmm.. I'm afraid the amazon page, says 1.78:1!!I hope it's wrong information!i don't think there would be an isolated score track.Only The Fury has I think, and that's because the complete score exists in cd.Do you think that someone could get the licence for the complete Dracula score on the Bluray, without it having been released as a soundtrack?Oh, I'd kill for that!What region is the Japanese Blu-Ray, or is it region-free?Some Blurays of the same company that i saw, are either Region free or Region A.well, if it's being released in Japan, I'm sure it will come to other countries too..

Naïve Old Fart 9,821 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 1.78:1 sounds about right, as that is the ratio on the UK DVD, more's the pity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 1,932 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 But the ideal would be to have the original aspect ratio, isn't it? which is 2.35:1by the way, one of my favourite films gets a UK bluray treatment, but with one of the ugliest covers!

JoeinAR 1,951 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I rememeber Dracula being pretty much an awful film. So dry, Langella was inadequate, only Kate Nelligan excelled.

Quintus 5,400 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Spielberg parodying himself (the Jaws intro) was a bit tawdry if you ask me. A bit flash.1941 is the spiritual brother of Temple Of Doom. Both throw caution to the wind and go for broke.I disagree. Temple of Doom is an extremely tight and focussed movie actually. It's bloated and undisciplined bombast vs. smart bombast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloated and undisciplined bombast vs. smart bombast.Excuse me while I die laughing! You need to watch raiders for that. Temple of Doom throws in everything but the kitchen sink. The only reason it seems more focused is because it's got a far smaller cast then 1941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was first released in London, it was shown is 70mm. It would be nice to have a 2.20:1 transfer, but, paradoxically, it would like a cropped 2.35:1 film!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,282 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 No, but 35 mm films, blown up and shown in 70 mm will often reveal details lost in a 35 mm showing.

Why go through the extra expense of doing new cover-art, usually a cheapo Photoshop job while there is artwork already available?I guess someone in these studios' marketing departments think the new covers will help it sell more, but I think they are mistaken.It is kind of like when sountracks got expansions by the major labels in the 90s and early 2000s - like Star Wars, Close Encounters, Poltergeist, ET, etc - they all got (usually weird) new artwork. Now that the specialty labels are expanding everything, they always use the original LP artwork. And I think that is what a lot of fans want (what's especially nice is when they include some alternate artwork on the back cover.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,282 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I was glad the Jaws Collectors Edition got the original 1975 artwork, not the one with the new, totally not so scary looking shark.E.T. probably got a different cover because the OST was still in print? Maye Close Encounters too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
