‘The Batman’ Box Office Projected to Earn Over $100 Million Opening Weekend
This movie MUST earn at least 1 billion. It's not a silly superhero movie.

Depends on picture size, quality of the video/disc, TV model and brand, cables, etc. It won't be in native 4K, but it should still look at least good, possibly very good (again, depending on the aforementioned things).
That's right. What about mine, the videos I posted? How do you see them?

I have several videos shot on 720p, not 1080p. That's still HD. Have you ever played 720p material on 4K TVs? Is that good? How do they look?
These are my videos:
Let me know. Thank you so much.

Gianfranco Caliendo and Gianni Averardi musically reunited after 42 years and recorded a new album: Liverpoolcinella. In the seventies, they founded a popular Italian pop band, Il Giardino dei Semplici, which sold 4 million records in Italy and outside. Gianfranco is also the composer of the international hit Turuturu, which sold 1.200.000 copies in the world.
Their first single as Founders Reunion is Pecché (Why), a Neapolitan version of the Beatles' classic song Get Back, originally issued in 1969. The Neapolitan lyrics expose many negative aspects of the Italian metropolis and the will of common people to fight against those issues. The Averardi-Caliendo duo can count on its unique voices, Gianfranco's folk guitars/arrangements and Christian Brucale's tammorra, to paint a fresco in which the Lennon-McCartney melodies acquire the Neapolitan folk taste and street language, as well as the power of that vivid and brilliant city.
The official videoclip has been shot at 4K by Michele De Angelis for Midea Video and filmed in the Museum of Pulcinella located in Aversa.
Please, enjoy the work and help us spreading the link in the net:

Are you on the Max Max 2 forum on blu-ray.com?
I was. Awful place filled with some awful people.

Atmos, they have fiddled a bit too much with it; I don't understand the need for many of the new sounds - the bus they move to protect the base has gotten an engine sound now, that wasn't there before. But they've also removed sound entirely, and the sound of the fuse, before Max's car explodes, is basically gone now, which seems strange, as the sound of the fuse, seems to be what the guy next to the car reacts to, before it blows up. And the music has been subdued way too much for my liking.
But what really surprised me was the Original Theatrical 2.0. It sounds very, very good and actually has deeper explosions than on the DTS-MA 5.1 track. Listen to the base being blown up for example. The next time I'm watching the movie, I'm definately listening to the 2.0 track.
The DTS-MA 5.1 is okay; There's not too much surround activity as such, with back and front stuff, but the track sounds good nevertheless. The soundstage is very wide, and that is a good thing.
WARNING:
The scene at the beginning where Max finds the music box in the car. His reaction shot while listening to the music looks bad. The shots lasts about 5 seconds and the picture is poor quality.
Found this review, talking about the OPTICALS in MM2:
"They've smoothed over most of the transitions, with whatever 'grain' is left behind showing off that smeary effect around movement, and in some of them they even seem to have selectively blurred the chroma channels, like on the close-up of Max playing with the music box that then fades out or dissolves into the next scene. The colour literally bleeds out for a few pixels around his head, the pink skin leeching into the blu sky, and it looks so bad. Not every optical is as janky as that, a few even look half decent, but when a movie is as full of editorial opticals as MM2 it means that a LOT of material is going to be dupe negative and it still baffles me that even though we're in the 21st century there's no better way of dealing with them than this. Do the people performing these grades actually think that it makes them less conspicuous than if they'd left them alone? Sure, HDR is not a friend to grain/noise and the excessive grain that some opticals carry is going to be a problem in that space, but this kind of treatment is so heavy-handed it makes the opticals stand out like a sore thumb anyway. *le sigh*
There is the possibility of having opticals rebuilt digitally by using trims of the original camera negative and Warners have done this a few times for new transfers recently, like the opening title sequence of The Goonies and the dissolves/fades in Shawshank Redemption, but this is contingent on several factors like whether the trims were even archived to begin with (as they were sent off to the optical house to have the effects applied, this OG material was sometimes lost or discarded as happened with Taxi Driver's final showdown) and if they were, do the filmmakers have enough clout to push for the opticals to be rebuilt and will the studio want to spend the extra cash? The Goonies was produced by Señor Spielbergo, Shawshank is a beloved favourite that was lensed by Roger Deakins who is now a two-time Oscar-winner, and Coppola owns his movies anyway so he kept everything and redid the opticals for the latest transfer of The Outsiders. But most everyone/everything else just has to put up with it, it's a pity that no-one's come up with an innovative solution like using AI to extract the colour and luminance from a 1st gen equivalent of the optical shot (many opticals cut to a 1st gen version of the same shot moments later/prior) and overlay it onto a de-noised version of the optical. Or, if they don't want to spend any mo money than they have to, JUST LEAVE THE OPTICALS AS THEY ARE."

JCVD is a terrific actor, and his movies are brilliant. Can't wait for this. Great concept.

www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2015/07/24/space-warrior-baldios-gets-japanese-bluray-boxed-set-releaseYears ago "UCHU SENSHI BALDIOS", one of the greatest mecha/Super Robot series ever conceived and produced (for me, THE BEST) finally got a BD release in Japan... (they had already announced this in 2009) Trust me, this was a groundbreaking and intense series which introduced a sci-fi twist that NOBODY ever used before and after it --- very "Nolanesque", but on an epic and grandiose level. Plus, the series was a genuine "bridge" between the Super Robots and the Real Robots genres. It was the perfect hybrid. Discotek Media provided you with the BD release of the TV series for the North-American territory. They even issued the 1981's theatrical movie which finished the TV series. The TV series is comprised of 34 episodes, but only the following 1981's movie gave viewers the revolutionary ending.

When Furiosa was reaching for a blade on the top of the War Rig... was her bionic arm visible on that scene? I remember it wasn't, but I stumbled upon a scene on TV where it was.

Please, watch this on SHOWTIME. Absolutely.
Part horror, part human drama, part mystery, part thriller, all cool!
Terrific direction and photography, brilliant actresses (Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci among the cast), and a GREAT STORY which follows two different "eras": 1996 and 2021.
Don't miss this show, it's a masterpiece.
