Oddly enough, my last movie of 2016 was Bad Santa 2. Still haven't picked a first for 2017 yet.

I approve of baked Anakin  e: judging by those knuckles, he's also pretty deadly without the lightsaber.

It's just baffling to me that saying "Id like to watch the original versions of the films I enjoy" becomes this insane statement that doesn't make sense. I honestly do not get it.

I watched Cool Hand Luke in high school and I apparently forgot about 60% of the movie, because I honestly thought it was a movie about a prisoner who, after earning the admiration of his fellow inmates for refusing to yield to the warden, heroically dies in an attempt to eat 100 eggs and is compared to Christ for it.

I was pretty miffed when I bought an official release of Mononoke and the quality and subtitling were obviously inferior to the fan bootleg I had before.

A lot of Dinsey's blu-rays of their classic animated movies look like loving garbage because they tried to hide the scratchiness of the old animation with aggressive anti-aliasing, it's the loving worst.

I'd get it. Honestly why is this request such an awful insane thing? Is my question? I didn't buy The Thing until Shout Factory put out theirs. I would've still kept waiting until a real good version of the film existed. And it one day would've because almost every film has a shot at being upgraded. It's not guaranteed. Like I doubt Invader Zim will ever get a Blu Ray release, but I mean, it's possible.

I didn't say it was awful or insane, but I don't really understand what you're asking for. The exact thing you're asking for already exists in an unofficial capacity, I mean the main guy doing it was hired to restore films professionally based on the quality of the work. I don't understand what the distinction is that makes it worth getting if it's "official" VS something functionally identical that's not.

It's pretty insane considering the Universal DVD release of the Thing was actually pretty excellent, and included the full score over the menus. I mean, if I HAD to make a desert island pick on which version I'd want forever and ever, it would be the 70mm print, but again, I also live in the real world.

CelticPredator posted:Honestly why is this request such an awful insane thing? It isn't awful at all. I'm probably own a copy myself if it were made available. But it's OK that it isn't. If Disney doesn't want to bother restoring and releasing a version more faithful to the originals, that's there prerogative and I don't feel any need to resent them for it. Nor do I feel any need to resent Lucas for not doing it, That's really the thing that bothers me. Not that people want such a thing, but the idea that it ought to exist and ought to be for sale and that it's somehow somebodies fault that it isn't. People are in all too big a hurry to find someone to blame. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Jan 4, 2017 |

Streaming or downloadable movies are convenient and generally alright in quality, but it's the current equivalent to having a VCR. Blu-Ray has been wonderful for niche stuff because it's the modern equivalent to 16mm and perhaps laserdisc. No one who was ever a 16mm or laserdisc collector ever thought it was convenient, but they were the best way to view films in your own home. Streaming has become the new replacement for TV, with similar quality and follies. Also, if you buy physical media, it's 100% yours outside of a home disaster or theft. A digital file can disappear because of rights or anything. Either way, you're paying for it. I like being able to keep what I pay for indefinitely. Lurdiak posted:A lot of Dinsey's blu-rays of their classic animated movies look like loving garbage because they tried to hide the scratchiness of the old animation with aggressive anti-aliasing, it's the loving worst. Which ones? The only outright garbage ones are The Sword in the Stone, Mickey's Christmas Carol, and Fun and Fancy Free. They don't really have anti-aliasing problems, but they do have some of the worst noise reduction ever. Sword is probably the worst Blu-Ray ever released by a major studio, even with garbage like Predator. Cinderella and The Aristocats have some issues, but nothing unwatchable. The rest of the 1937-1967 films were all 4K from the successive exposure negatives and handled by Reliance Mediaworks. Bambi could have used another go since it was the very first of the 4Ks back in 2003, but the rest are solid.
