I think you're severely overestimating the usage of Bidets in north america if you're singling out Colerado.

I´ve done this kind of work and it´s mostly: "Hey were telecining this film. Does the director/DoP wanna come and check it? No? Well then the telecine artist/colorist will decide because he/she doesn´t know how it should look." Film scanning is rarely just clickety clack of hey now it looks just like the original!

I used to work in a posthouse doing this poo poo for Star Trek: TNG and the film that's scanned is the raw negative, not the color-graded masters that sees theaters and initial home releases. And yeah, that's basically it, usually the color house is catering what the client (studio) wants and not the artist that created the work. I was surprised the amount of time that went into the color, it's loving nuts, and a drat shame the clients ordering the remasters don't get the original artists to work on them but then again, money.

I remember some comedian was talking about when he went to vegas and they had a bidet in the bathroom, so he cranked the dial to 11 to see what it would do, and it basically forcefully enema'd him. drat I wish I could remember who that was. It was a hilarious set.

It's not just this film though. After the initial rush of Blu-Rays where quality and maintaining the original films look mattered, people are noticing a lot of BR releases these days where the pictured has been significantly altered/edge-enhanced/recolored. A few of the AV forums out there have threads dedicated to blu-rays that gently caress with the picture.

My dad finally got a Blu-Ray player and TV to match, but when I looked up the World At War series to buy for him or at least let him know they're out there, I found out the production house cropped everything from 4:3 to 16:9. Like, chopped off the top and bottom of all the footage and the interviews. I am not an AV :spergin: and from what I've found on the internet the clean up was incredible with nothing else being "upgraded", but even so... :psyduck:

edit: I just checked out a copy of it. The opening title is cut on the top and bottom to the point it doesn't fit in the frame properly, and some of the tops of interviewee's heads are out of frame. loving hell.

My parents watch 4:3 movies stretched to fill the widescreen TV. I don't get why people can't understand stuff was shot in different formats. USE THE ONE WITH THE MOST PICTURE FOR FUCKS SAKE.

They did that to the video masters of Daria they're using on Australia's MTV now as well. It's really noticeable too (tops of character's head chopped off, etc) and I seriously don't get why anyone would think hacking off part of the frame to stretch the rest would look good.

Here's the dumb thing. HD stuff is 16:9 and there's no specifications for 4:3 image (well 1440x1080 is a thing but it's for HD anamorphic) so you might go through technical delivery specs for a bunch of channels and they have this little gem: "HD images must fill the active picture area (1920 x 1080 pixels). No ‘blanking errors’ are permitted on new, up-converted, or archive material." Which means that if you made the goddamn greatest 4:3 restoration in the world in HD... You couldn't sell it to BBC for example.

Some technical specs say that if the footage is 4:3 it's just center cropped by the channel which would be worse than the pan & scan job they made. Because it probably would cut lower thirds and faces and whatever.

OH poo poo! HERE'S A GIF!

Hopefully it'll will eventually be released in the original ratio and in 1080.
