How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
A comedy about 3 gold diggers who rent an apartment together, in New York, trying to bag them some Tycoons. It doesn’t all go according to plan, and realise there’s more too it than money… love!
It was a funny movie, but very predictable.

Was it one of those things that it was predictable because it’s the movie the cliches are reusing?

4K restoration on Star Wars

Why would they have to go back to the models made for the '97 SE? Couldn’t they just use the new and improved models used in R1?

I’m sure the programs ILM uses have progressed enough that they couldn’t plug the new models into the 97 (likely made in 95) animations. So they’d probably have to start from scratch.

The original SE Jabba they made was animated manually frame-by-frame using stuff they built for Jurassic Park.

Ghostbusters 101: 01

Erik Burnham has the amazing ability to write every character’s dialog exactly how you’d imagine the character would speak, no matter which universe the Ghostbuster is from. The movie characters have always been spot on, the cartoon versions were amazing, and even the short glimpse we get of the ATC Ghostbusters in this issue are perfectly in character.

The old Blu-ray was very blue, they corrected it somewhat. Plus, it was the safest option for the 50th, seeing as how it’s the most beloved film of the series.

The old blu-ray also shows some of the same contrast-boosting issues as the other five. I remember seeing a screenshot comparison of the shot where the Reliant and Enterprise first approach each other and the 2016 re-restoration is much more natural looking. The first six were released all at once back in '09, which probably means the same person/people were responsible for the final tweaks on all of them before the discs were pressed. There’s even a bit of dnr on that first WoK bd, it’s just nowhere near as bad as on the others thanks to the restoration.

I wish the movie itself was in that expanded ratio. I wonder if they cropped it to 2.39:1.

Anyway, I think it ultimately comes down to the fact that 2.4:1 is a standard AR while 2.61:1 isn’t. Probably also to match with the other Star Wars movies.

But why bother to use the lenses used on Ben-Hur if you’re just going to crop it in the end? What was gained?
