FYI, I read that the '73 cut of The Exorcist was supervised/approved by the cinematographer for Blu-Ray while William Friedkin approved the 2000 cut. Same cinematographer OK'd the re-done French Connection Blu-Ray which did away with the awkward desaturated colors from the original disc.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:but you just said the 1979 version did the blue tint from this hypothetical green version. Which version was the original DVD going off of? All the DVD releases are (to my knowledge) derived on the 1979 version, which is brighter than the 1973 version and has a 'naturalistic' colour scheme. No noticeable tint. Like I said, the recent blue scheme is likely an attempt to correct this.

Where did you read about this? I've always preferred the pre-98 color timing but I was under the impression that was more or less the original, all I can find about the '79 rerelease differences are the matte for widescreen and the sound mix

Lost in Space is on Syfy right now. Man that was one of my favorite movies as a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kng_YcBxR6Y When I was 10 this trailer blew my frickin mind how cool and dark it was  Like the whole premise is everybody is on earth is going to die, it's a pretty stark place to start from.

Rewatched it in November I think... man, it's rough. The effects, especially on that monkey thing, don't hold up at all. Spider-Smith's at least weird enough to kinda work. Matt LeBlanc is next-level terrible. William Hurt can barely make some of the dialogue work, so there was no hope for him. Gary Oldman is still fun. The biggest crime in that movie is them dubbing Jared Harris's voice with some bland American one.

One of my favorite shows growing up was a sci fi comedy series that was a pastiche of Star Trek and Lost In Space, with its own spin, so I've always been rather fond of Lost in Space. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Jan 4, 2017 |

What is he even a doctor of honestly, it's a title that usually implies you have at least one useful skill Also even if it's all undone with time-travel killing all the heroes was a major holy poo poo moment to 10-year old me. When Don West looks back and is all "I'm sorry" and they all explode

BRRRRP Morty, Morty, it's just, it's just the Hedgehog/Prower phenomenon BRRP of ostensibly adult characters engaged in presexual intimacy. I mean jeez Morty, they're BRRRRRP they're not even at the level of of Matthew Broderick in Hackers, taking his shirt off in front of a girl. Morty. Morty, you know what the erotic appeal of Sonic is, like for the fans? H-BRRRRP-e doesn't gently caress. Ever. Doesn't need to. Ever, Morty. It's aaaaaaall in the eyes, M-URRRRRRR-orty. Eyes and the chili dogs. Just, just looking at you and eating the chili dogs, that's sex to him. That's satisfaction. And, and so that's why Finn and Poe will never gently caress, Morty, they'll just keep hugging and sharing clothes, even though they're like 25, 30. They just don't ne-UUUUURP-ed to. Okay so that's the birds and the bees, now let's get that quantum impURPlant into your spine.

So after Lost in Space, The Darkest Hour came on---you know, that Russian movie that looked like a huge rip off of Skyline, that other alien invasion movie nobody saw? Although it's kinda a shame I was browsing the forums instead of paying attention it seemed kind of good.

X-Ray Pecs posted:I can't see this post because a big PS1-cutscene rear end dinosaur is in front of it. I don't know why people keep bringing up the dinosaur rear end when there is even worse poo poo happening in that scene. Like, at least the dinosaur moves kinda quickly, there is a robot leisurely crossing in front of the screen and obstructing the view right after dinosaur rear end. It's not even a good effect, it looks like someone filmed their TV showing Star Wars and then made their favorite toy walk past the screen.

Yellow robot zooming across the screen obstructing the view happens at 3:14, and I forgot that it makes it look like the robot is as tall as the stormtroopers. Admittedly it's not taking up the entire frame at once, but it's still puzzling how much poo poo happens in front of the people this scene should focus on. maybe it's one of these experiments where five people throw a ball around and you don't even notice there is a gorilla there.

Slugworth posted:I'm certainly not of the opinion that the change needed to happen, but the entire frame being taken up by a passing object is a pretty common short hand for 'it's crazy and busy here'. The viewer pov being obstructed suggests hustle and bustle. I'm struggling to think of a concrete example, but it's done frequently with cars and busses. I think maybe Fifth Element does it at one point? I get the intention, but the execution is horrible. The stuff in the foreground doesn't really match the stuff in the background, what with the angle the scene is shot vs. the size of the passing people and objects. Also, Mos Eisley was just introduced to us as a wretched hive of scum and villainy, this looks like a busy day on any given future town square. I guess it could have been put there to undermine what Obi Wan says (Oh my god kid, watch out this place is crazy dangerous! *booping yellow droid slowly drives past*) but I'm pretty tired of stuff like that.
