I said come in! posted:There is a .mkv of Saving Priate Ryan floating around with the grain completely removed (this is fan made its files, you wouldnt want to go looking for it anyways and im gonna explain why) from the movie. Holy hell it looks terrible, but people actually like it a lot. I don't understand how anyone could think it looks better then the original blu-ray, but these opinions are why we have so many bad blu-ray transfers.

If posting screencaps of a movie is against the forum rules, that "guess the film" thread is in deep trouble.

Bambi posted:I've never seen the Donner cut of Superman II. It's on sale at Amazon right now for $14 - worth it, or no? It's a pretty badly cobbled-together approximation of what Richard Donner's cut would be like; you'll basically be paying 14 dollars for a special feature.

Well, they specifically mentioned all the other trailers sandwiched between the features, so... I dunno. They mention the intermission cards but not the old-school censor warnings and feature presentation logos too, so I really hope those didn't get the axe. Basically, we're getting something better than anything we've ever had, but I'm still afraid they're gonna botch it somehow. Miramaaaaaaaaaxx

frumpsnake posted:(It was kinda funny buying 'The Incredibles' and having Brad Bird thank me for 'choosing the widescreen version'. What did he say on the fullscreen disc?) The Incredibles and A Bug's Life were both re-rendered with the shot compositions changed for the fullscreen versions, so he probably talks about that.

DrVenkman posted:I always knew the French Connection Blu-Ray was lovely, but I didn't realise the whole story behind it til I read an Freidkin interview on the AVClub. WilliamFriedkin posted:What I learned was that Fox, when they put that DVD out, there was a little warning inside the box that said, “This may not play well on your home receiver. If it doesn’t, write to w-w-w dot so-and-so, so-and-so. We’ll send you a disc that will make your own playback receiver compatible.” This was like a caveat emptor. And Roizman was right. The copies were all over the place. That’s not a perfect process, either. Friedkin's talking about firmware updates here, and it's not even plausible for individual copies of the Blu-ray to look different from each other. He doesn't really know what he's talking about.

The pHo posted:I was halfway through a long rant about hating the incompatible natures of the US and UK ratings systems, but it sounds like it's the German version that's censored and not the UK one. It's the spear scene that's different. Spoiler in link - http://www.movie-censorship.com/news_en.php?ID=4149 Apparently the issue is that the UK BD uses the same transfer and therefore has the same censorship as the German one.

Steve Yun posted:I don't recall the R-rated version very well... I heard the argument that it was more horrifying in a way because you don't see some of the violence and your imagination made it worse. What do you guys think? One could make that argument, since the over-the-top violence tips the hand of the movie's comedic/satirical edge. Dial it back a bit, and it becomes more realistic and therefore more disturbing.
