Kill Bill 1 and 2 plus Jackie Brown have gone a.w.o.l. This after Source Code disappeared from my library last month (and so far hasn’t returned).

I have a good feeling about the latest disappearances, as they have also gone missing from the US and UK stores. Is it possible that they are being upgraded to 4K?

I always thought that the KB’s would look great in 4K. The 1080p versions already look good. Anyway, looking forward to a possible free upgrade. I’ll grab Jackie Brown later if she gets an upgrade as well.
