2) Almost assuredly. I bought it in Sept 2021 from Amazon in the US and got the right version.

That's the point. The studios aren't interested in physical media because it doesn't make them the bucks they seek. Hopefully they continue to license stuff to boutique labels and those labels continue to be economically viable. The Disney deal is an interesting one to watch. It says, at...

The article does not seem to say discs will no longer exist. But it makes the reasonable point that it is hard to argue that disks are a major line item on any studio's balance sheet any longer. It was once how many (most?) films eventually turned a profit. That role is now played, if at...

I don't know the answer, but I am hoping to learn more. It clearly isn't as simple as I thought (ie, I thought the mono track on the new release was a simple transcription of the original but if the original is lost, that would't be possible).

Fantastic. Will do. Thanks.

Good to know. Thanks. That’s the “only” way to watch the Abyss (special edition) imo.

Did they include both the theatrical and special edition? Both in HDR?

HBO (theatrical cut) inside the US, again with the old master.

What is the best way to submit feedback?

I hope this is an interesting resource but I cant even keep up with Mubi and Criterion so I will wait to see what this is like.
