But someone please tell me how a new 4K scan doesn't look better than the old Blu-ray. I bought the damn 4K disc even though I still haven't moved up to 4K, but just explain it to me, please.

To Catch a Thief.

First of all, are you and RAH saying that the 4K of Rosemary's Baby isn't good??? Say what??? They did a new scan and it isn't better than the Blu-ray of old??? And yes, you are 1000% wrong. Rosemary's Baby is a gorgeously photographed film by William Fraker. I still have a 35mm dye transfer print. But someone please tell me how a new 4K scan doesn't look better than the old Blu-ray. I bought the damn 4K disc even though I still haven't moved up to 4K, but just explain it to me, please.

No explanation. It appears to be an old transfer. Possibly a new one could not get funded.

It won't be a problem in the near future...as including a Blu-ray in with the 4K is fast becoming a thing of the past.

Nah. Mystery Movie is the 2nd best and then "Smile".

I shoulda liked "Crawl" but I didn't.

Nothing against the mystery movie, which is good, but I like Crawl a lot more. I thought that Smile was so awful that it's not even the sixth best movie out of five.

BTW, kudos to RAH for reading and respecting Paramount's request not to reveal the "mystery title".

Sure, but deduct one point for the typo where he left out the letter ? in ????????????????????.

iTunes seems to have several of these 4K digital versions for $4.99 each. I saw Rosemary's Baby, Pet Sematary, and Sweeney Todd.
