Robert Analog posted:Have they fixed the Oldboy lossless audio on The Vengeance Trilogy? I'm struggling to find any information about this. Also does anyone know if the tin is only available from Best Buy? I ordered from Amazon and got the tin. Speaking of that, I don't think I want to bother trying to eBay the thing, so if anyone wants a Vengeance Trilogy tin (just the empty tin), PM me and I'll hook you up for a couple dollars shipping.

I'll take it off your hands assuming the fixed version doesn't come with the tin. e; Walmart has it online for $40 but I can't find out whether or not it has the tin or the fixed copy and probably won't know until it arrives if you don't mind holding onto for a bit I'd appreciate it.

Back to the Future looks like a potential October release based on this. Robin Hood will have an additional 26 minutes of footage cut back into the film for the home video release. That's only about half as much as the Kingdom of Heaven DC restored, but it's still a substantial amount of film and could go a long way toward ameliorating some of the movie's bigger problems. The Wall: Live in Berlin is coming "on or about July 23." In Cold Blood is getting an individual release on 9/7. edit: The Exorcist is coming 10/5 in a digibook. It will include both the director's and theatrical cuts of the film. doctor thodt fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jun 18, 2010 |

I must say though, that there are three versions of the film; the original theatrical cut that was subsequently banned, the 25th anniversary edition which is Friedkin's preferred cut and the "version you've never seen" which is the longest version and Blatty's preferred cut. Which two are on he blu-ray?

Here is an article that talks about the changes. The cinematographer hates it. It does lose the warm 70s look, and the outcome is kinda like A Clockwork Orange.

William Friedkin went crazy, decided that The French Connection should feel more like a documentary and completely hosed with the color timing to achieve that.

At least he's not as batshit as Vittorio "Last Supper" Storaro. There were a couple emails from him floating around here at some point where he blathered about golden ratios and HD screens and came off like the timecube guy. What's really funny is that the Last Supper is not 2.00:1 like he thinks it is, which makes the cropping of The Last Emperor even stupider.

Well hey, Friedkin can gently caress around with the "Version You've Never Seen Before" and mess its colors straight to hell, as long as the original timing remains on the theatrical cut. I figure the new version is the one he'd rather gently caress with anyway. I actually LIKE The French Connection's new look - but I do agree that I wish both versions were present on the disc. That's actually a 2 BD set (2nd is extras), so they could have spread the extras between the two discs and put one version on each disc if they were REALLY concerned about bit budgeting.

Stardust 9/7 (in Canada, but presumably the US will get it the same day) Or instead of waiting 2.5 months you can just import it from the UK for $16.

Oh hey look, a terrific new release that went virtually unnoticed.  I guess that's what happens when you come out on the same day as a powerhouse like The Book of Eli  Seriously though, go buy this brilliant and beautiful film. It's $20 at Best Buy and available in-store, or $21.49 at Amazon.

Captain Charisma posted:It took me forever to notice DNR, but once you see it...well, you know how it goes. It's sorta like mp3 compression artifacts. Except for really lovely compression jobs, you generally don't notice them except in really stand-out cases. Subtle DNR isn't a bad thing, necessarily, but gently caress, that's not subtle at all, and the state of the technology isn't at a point where they can just say "computer, enhance" and the result is good. He really does look kind of like a wax figurine of himself. And the second screen, gently caress me, it's like they smeared it with Vaseline. Sure did get rid of all that noise  Reminds me of the edge-enhancement treatment some DVDs used to get. Hell, I remember ripping with DVDshrink and doing a "deep analysis" which applies variable edge-based softening or sharpening of its own (user selectable) in an attempt to counterbalance the artifacts generated by compression. In my opinion they still look better than the same amount of compression without any enhancement, provided you go with the more subtle sharpening option, but with BDs we're at a point where a good transfer has the space it needs to look freakin' fantastic without any stupid processing. Maybe that source material was so bad that some DNR would benefit it. I don't think that DNR is the god damned devil all the time, but that example is taking an axe to the source. Is there any reason they had a problematic, really noise transfer the first time, and then this reissue has incredibly over the top DNR to "compensate?" Did they just not want to do another transfer, or is the source unusable now? What's the deal? Agreed fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jun 20, 2010 |
