Rest in peace, Sam Neill. I really liked that guy. Check out The Dish sometime if you haven't yet. And Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
What a great picture—a reminder that every piece of art you love was scraped, cobbled, and kit-bashed into existence by creative rebels who thought outside the box.
The first season finale of STAR CITY just dropped on AppleTV and it's fantastic. This series is outstanding and deserves a second season. Don't miss it.
OH YEAH, I've been waiting for this one: Warner Archive sets the Technirama/Technicolor classic AUNTIE MAME (1958) for 4K UHD release on 8/25! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
I mean… for God’s sake, people: If you’re gonna bitch about a movie you haven’t seen, bitch about the fact that @realgdt.bsky.social still hasn’t gotten to make AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS yet. That’s an ACTUAL travesty.
Heads-up everyone: Lionsgate’s Amazon-exclusive RAMBO #4K COLLECTION is back up for pre-order! SRP $99, street 8/4. Act fast if you want it (link👇). This is the second run of 5K units and they may go quickly. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social #Stallone www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...
I love this SO much. The Warner Archive Collection does great 4K! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
Today on @thedigitalbits.bsky.social website – A #4K remastered Dances with Wolves: Extended Cut is coming to Locarno—could a 4K Ultra HD release be next? thedigitalbits.com/columns/bill...
If you haven’t seen it yet, Ken Burns’ THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION is fantastic and well worth watching as America celebrates its 250th anniversary. I can’t recommend it more highly.
If you live in the Northern US or Canada (or Northern Europe, etc), there's a big geomagnetic storm happening right now. It's a great time to go out and see if you can see the Northern Lights!
Don’t look now disc fans: Warner Bros. just listed GONE WITH THE WIND for #4K #UltraHD pre-order on Amazon UK in regular and Collector’s Edition SKUs. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H6XVN4B...
Now THAT'S an art book! And worth every damn penny for #Andor fans. Well done, @philszostak.bsky.social! @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
Four movies that need #4K #UltraHD release: CHILDREN OF MEN (2006), THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU (2011), THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007), and ROAD TO PERDITION (2002). Let’s go Universal & Paramount! (Note: THERE WILL BE BLOOD is PROBABLY coming next year for its 20th anniversary.) @thedigitalbits.bsky.social

We took a little road trip this weekend with friends to eat at a rare “classic” Bob’s Big Boy location in SoCal. If place looks familiar—before it was Bob’s, it was called Johnie’s Broiler—it’s where one of the early scenes in Michael Mann’s HEAT (1995) was filmed. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
Happy Birthday to the great Mel Brooks—100 years young today!! And just as I said three years ago (it’s more true now than ever): Boy, we need him!
I DO like that Vinegar Syndrome is releasing these Film Movement Classics titles on 4K disc. Yes, I do. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
Oh HELL yeah! First look at the California Science Center’s new Space Shuttle Endeavor exhibit in the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. Opening in November, and I can’t wait!
