Notizia riguardante la MGM: ha messo in vendita parte della sua library. Attualmente la MGM ha grossi problemi finanziari.
According to Variety, MGM is expected to essentially be auctioned off within the next few weeks. Its library would be acquired by a major studio; another party would buy the roaring lion logo; and yet another would buy the United Artists film studio. MGM's financial problems have been in the spotlight since the summer, and as of September was said to be teetering on bankruptcy.
One candidate mentioned for purchase of the MGM library is Time Warner, which already controls its classic catalog through a 1996 merger with Turner Broadcasting System, which had purchased MGM's catalog in 1986.
Thus, as film site Film School Rejects details, what's on the market consists of many of the titles MGM made after 1986, most of the post-1952 UA catalog, post-1981 Orion Pictures titles, and several minor catalogs.
In 2009, MGM has only had one film to release in theaters – the 'Fame' remake, which is anticipated on Blu-ray for January 2010 but hasn't been officially announced yet.
As of August 18, 2009, MGM ownership is as follows: Providence Equity Partners (29%), TPG (21%), Sony Corporation of America (20%), Comcast (20%), DLJ Merchant Banking Partners (7%) and Quadrangle Group (3%).

Per ora ritengo di non inserire una lista di BD "alta fedeltà". Dopo aver analizzato i BD usciti mi sono reso conto che per fortuna moltissimi titoli sono fedeli al girato 
A questo punto (almeno per ora) mantengo la lista originale inserendo anche i trasferimenti come Braveheart dove è indicata una supervisione degli addetti ai lavori.

di quale intervista parli?Intendevo questo: "We started out working at standard-definition on films like North by Northwest, Now Voyager, and Citizen Kane. Then we upgraded the image quality with our first high-def movies, which were Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Giant. Our first 2K movies were Roman Holiday and Sunset Boulevard. Now we do most of our transfers at high-def and 2K, but we also do a whole range of movies in 4K."
E questo:The detail in Casablanca was much more striking than on North by Northwest. Was this due to different scanning resolutions?
We did Casablanca at 2K. That led to a significantly better result than North by Northwest, which was done at standard-definition .
Poi non so chi abbia curato l'attuale restauro, ne a che risoluzione di acquisizione sia stato fatto.

restauro a 8K come avevi giustamente segnalato.

Il restauro non lo discuto. Mi da qualche dubbio l'encoding nelle parti finali, quando si vedono le navette aliene volare sopra i protagonisti, dove sul mio vpr si vedono delle discretizzazioni sulle luci che le avvolgono abbastanza marcate. Anche durante il capovolgimento della nave madre ho lo stesso effetto.vincent89 ha detto:Incontri ravicinati del terzo tipo è già in lista nei restauri da riferimento
Non escludo possa essere un problema del mio VPR, che non essendo un Top di gamma, va in crisi in determinati frangenti. Ma siccome questa cosa l'ho notata solo sui alcuni vecchi titoli Sony come Ghostbusters (ai lati del logo) e su questo titolo.....(non considero Eyes wide shut, perchè lì sono sicuro che è compressione) in ogni caso ci si può passare sopra. Non è fastidiosissimo.
