Barbarella (4K disc) - 1968 sci-fi movie based on a French comic and
produced by Dino De Laurentiis.  Yes, I know I just watched it last
year, but I got a brand new 4K upgrade that includes a new Dolby Atmos
soundtrack and a new audio commentary.  I was torn between listening to
the new Dolby Atmos track or the audio commentary but settled on the
Atmos track.  I did notice the surround sound, wasn't really surround,
but it did have a full sound coming out of the front speakers, which is
better than the mono sound from the old blu-ray.  There's a remake
starring Sydney Sweeney in the works, so I'll just have to sit through
it again with the commentary before the remake.   And thanks to the
subtitles, I now know that for all these years I've been saying there's
a kind of taco shell about you, when the line is actually  "There's a
kind of cockleshell about you."  Someone in this group also suggested I
watch Danger: Diabolik.  I didn't forget, but it wasn't available for
free on any of the usual streaming channels.

 Jane Fonda hates that you watched this movie. Thank you.
 

There is a remake in development with Sydney Sweeney attached as the lead and Edgar Wright as director currently.  And its only been in development for 25 years!
