    Blu-ray Review A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Invaders from Mars - in 4k UHD & Blu-ray

    Are you talking about the Blade Runner screening at the Fairfax? That was the one where I believe it was discovered that the 70mm print was actually the preview version. I was there and it was May 6, 1990.

    General Discussion Digital Movie/TV Deals

    I had the same experience with THE OMEN. The transfer on VUDU looks to me exactly like the old blu-ray I've had for several years. So it appears they have the older transfer.

    I had the same problem three years ago. E-mailed Warners and they replaced it and sent me a prepaid mailer to send in the bad disc. I had a similar problem with ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at the same time. Fox declined to do anything.
