Lion official, Pink Panther delay, MST3K: XXXVIII, Fantastic Fear & Why Him?, plus lots more news & art
We’re kicking off today’s update here at The Bits with a trio of new disc reviews...
First up, I spent the whole day yesterday going through Sony’s new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition of Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. The package includes 4K, Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, and Digital HD. Whatever you may think of the film itself, this A/V presentation is a must have for 4K enthusiasts. Full native 4K in 60 frames per second with High Dynamic Range and Dolby Atmos audio is a helluva thing.
Also, Tim has checked out a pair of regular Blu-rays for you, including Sony’s Don’t Breathe and Kino Lorber Studio Classics’ Haunted Honeymoon. Both are worth your time. [Read on here…]

Also today, Michael Coate has just posted a new History, Legacy & Showmanship column here at The Bits featuring a look back at the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, in celebration of the film’s 35th Anniversary this weekend. The piece features a great interview with a roundtable of noted Bond historians. I think you’ll enjoy it. [Read on here…]
