I have not been tracking 4K Shout Factory releases since they have not been showing up as digital releases. If they ever do, I will start tracking.

Appreciate you pointing things out, however, as I do miss things at times.

It's nice to see Super Mario Bros. is already released to digital. I'm sure Nintendo/Illumination could have stretched out the theatrical run if they wanted, since it's still making a lot of money.
 
65 is now available for rent, but it’s only in HD? While 4KHDR can be purchased? Is this new where lower quality only is for rent?

Hmm… not seeing what you’re seeing.

I’m seeing 65 for rent in HDR, UHD and HD, could be a handshake issue on your system.

That said, when Licorice Pizza was first released you could purchase in UHD but rental was only HD. I remember being bummed because I rented it and considered buying it but it would only give me the rental credit on purchase of the HD version.

Cool. Hope it comes to the US store. 🤞🏻

Please do not confuse Norwegian Atmos, with its epic Topsmmersion scenes in Wave, with Finnish Atmos. In my opinion, the mixing techniques employed by the Finnish Atmos team seem to regress back to the era of talkies. It's no wonder that I have such a strong dislike for their loudspeakers. I find the sound quality to be disappointingly mushy, especially when the rerecording engineer starts sending instruments to the bed channel for creative reasons. This practice was first proposed by Skywalker's Gary Rizzo, who, in my opinion, should have retired before object audio came to the forefront. Every time I encounter this convoluted and unrealistic soundfield, I call it a 'Rizzo.' It's like receiving a despective equivalent of a Razzie award, but for Atmos.

To add insult to injury, I recently came across a soundtrack that takes the 'Rizzo' score to a new level by placing all the battle effects in the center mono channel. How stupid is that? I believe this is false advertisement as Atmos should take the cake. Can I request a refund? I feel misled by the product label and action movie genre general expectations, That being said the bad guy dies in ther best most epic manner ever in a film, what a lost opportunity for good sound design..
