Blu Ray was a mistake
>>215597058No. you were
>>215597058The 4K fixed it
>>215597058Is blu ray the problem or was it the people who made the blu ray version the problem?
>>215597058+1 to twitter reposts on the catalog
>>215597212It was destroyed
>>215597170this. the 4k is great looking
That's not a bluray issue, it's a retarded editor issue.
>>215597058Hey look I fixed it with 1 tool in paint.nethire me disney
>>215597312that's still worse
>>215597502>promoting drugsSatanic movie
>>215597502Right is better. Left is oversaturated.
Why are boomers scared of this?
>>215597502ZAMN!
>>215597058The real problem is giving disnep money
>>215597567colors are so gay.
>>215597572It's not boomers, it's zoomers. Boomers love film and shit like vinyl records because it's "warm and natural". Music and films for boomers is the equivalent of trains to Japanese autists.
>>215597567
>>215597625This picture is also extremely over saturated.
>>215597617>has to use an outside cultural reference to make his point because he's so disenfranchised from his own societytragic
>>215597058
>>215597617>It's not boomers, it's zoomersJames Cameron is the ultimate boomer and he's waging a war against noise in his remasters
>>215597639You know what else is over saturated? You're sopping wet babby nappy
>>215597617I love noise.
>>215597058Youtube is going to start doing this automatically to low res video uploads soon.
>>215597312Just 74,999 more frames to go.
>>215597058>blu ray>make everything bluerWhat did SOnY mean by this.
>>215597752Can't wait for my 240p longplays of 16-bit games to LOOK GOOD
>>215597058There are botched blu-ray releases and there are excellent looking ones. As far a home video formats go there is no argument to be made that any other format is better. Bluray is objectively better than dvd and vhs. And if you are streaming then you are watching the same siurces only compressed. What exactly is the point?
>>215597058kek another jewish bastardization
>>215597944excusing lost masters there is no reason they shouldnt all be perfect through the 1990s
Is there a database that shows which releases for movies are the best? I know Disney in particular has a huge problem with their Blu-rays and I'd like to know in advance which releases are superior.
>>215598030https://caps-a-holic.com/You can see differences on this website.
the grain is what makes old media look good, why would you get rid?
>>215598082zoomers think it's an error they need to fix
>grain is...LE BADI know this makes me sound like a faggoty vinylphile, but honestly, the grain in movies is what gave them character. I don't want my movies to be indistinguishable from reality. I want to be transported AWAY from reality, into an alternate world. That's what movies used to provide.
>>215597058Lotr was worse
>>215598074Neat. UK 4k looks better too imo, the US blu ray looks like it's some documentary footage of the Vietnam War.
>>215598182Your feelings are normal, this board is just full of terminally online contrarian retards.
>>215598074The bottom looks best to me but what is it actually supposed to look like in the theater?
>>215597058Walt himself supervised this transfer and releaseWho are you to argue with the creator about his intended vision
>>215598425who knows. it's all guess work because the original print is faded.
>>215597502This is one of the few where the update actually looks better
>>215598425I actually saw it at the cinema and the UK release looks the closest to my memory, that one on top looks overexposed or something. Films used to have a bit of a dull and slightly underexposed look in the highlights like that middle one. I think the DVD just looks good because all the colors/details are heavily compressed and slightly more saturated.
>>215597058it's not blu-ray's fault. It's the fault of the minimum wage indian that slapped on a Premier color grading pre-set. Blu-ray has a ton of storage, so there's no reason both an unfiltered and filtered version couldn't exist on the same disk at no real extra costs, but nope. Here we are. Next you're going to blame streaming for doing the exact same shit. It's not the technology's fault, its the fault of the shit heads using technology improperly.
>>215598546zoomers hate this
>>215597212They ran it through a de-noising algorithm (today you kids call it "AI" because you'll believe anything) to get rid of the film grain, but no one actually reviewed the work because it took out a ton of fine detail.
>>215597058AIEEEE OH NO NOT THE.LIMRWORKGet over it
>>215597502this is genuinely disgusting
AI upscaling has been a disaster for the human race.
>>215597502freaky ass white boy
>>215597058Blu ray is just a container, tardie. It doesn't magically change the look of a movie.
>>215598606Your face is a container.
>>215597058And you're a grown ass man on 4chan crying about a cartoon for little girls.
>>215597058It's not the blu-ray, it's shitty encoding. Not even just that, I have no idea how anyone can fuck up this badly even with galaxy gas huffing encoding parameters.
>>215598563>it's just that the "algorithm" weirdly focus on faces because that's what they do, not Ai at all!
>>215598740Because faces and hair have a lot of fine wrinkles and detail to them, and the higher the resolution, the more there is to get smoothed out. Its also the same thing as the uncanny valley, we're social animals that invest a lot of energy into paying attention to the minutia of people's faces (even if you don't consciously notice it), so when you get something artificially smoothed over on a face, it stands out like a sore thumb more than someone's clothes.
>>215598740Absolutely disgusting.
>>215597312Blu-ray, hire this man
>>215598740
>>215597301Why is the only good release of Dragon Ball one made by fans?
>>215599154the studio is just bad. they lost the original audio recordings, but some fan that recorded all the episodes on vhs offered the studio his recordings, but the studio declined and used inferior audio instead.
>>215597567You know that back then, color didn't exist in film so they actually painted every single frame of the movie by hand?
>>215599297>but the studio declined and used inferior audio insteadkek, based retarded japs
since we're talking about bad home releases, i recently downloaded a death row music video dvd and it looks like all the videos are just scans of a shitty vhs recording.
>>215599319Snow white was originally shown in black and white. It wasn't colorized until later. its also not as bad as you think, its a tedious process, but its just slapping a primary color down and letting the baked in contrast do all the work. Also, is the site running like shit today for anyone else? Or is it just me?
>>215599363the site was not working for a few minutes
>>215599363Snow White had cells shot in three strips Technicolor in 1937 but the theater copies were mostly in black and white. This is why most people saw it in b&w the first time
>>215597058crt vs oled
>>215597572"Smiling Merchant"s belong on /pol/
>>21559705835mm 4K amateur transfers might be my favorite torrents to collect.
>>215598740>it's a james cameron discovers the clarity slider in lightroom episode
>>215598740The movie is fucking great when you're actually watching it move.
>>215597058Ok movie boys Noticed my qt boss had a nose bump. She got all shy about it, went on about how she hates it and no one is supposed to notice it. But she was still laughing the whole time. I then made a comment how I always wanted to touch one.She said I could touch hers and put her nose close to me. I ran my finger over it a few times and said it felt how I always imagined. She found it funny then she went on again about how she hates her nose bump.Can this bite me on the ass and be used as a HR issue against me? Even if she was the one who told me to touch her nose? Also is there a way to make her feel better about her nose bump? It's actually quite nice and suits her. I quite like it.
>>215599624Nigga you sweet as a sugar plum
>>215597058blu ray is fine, the problem is lazy motherfuckers using filters over the entire goddamn movie without using a quality assurance check. You need to scan an original film print, color grade each shot separately. But that's too much work for cheap hollywood kikes
>>215599357Probably because the sources are from videotape. A lot of music videos were seen as throwaways that would only appear on small TV sets and were either never recorded in high quality to start with or only exist on shitty tape now after the high quality source got taped over/lost.
>>215597617zoomers love this shit as well that's why they're all obsessed with using old cameras to take pictures
>>215599357I actually owned this on dvd as a teen in the 90’s and it looked that bad back then. Obviously they didn’t put a lot of thought or money into it.
>>215599624Don’t touch a white person ever again
>>215597058The digital master and the people who oversaw it are the problem. It has nothing to do with the container format.
>2018
Everyone understands that the container makes no difference -- nonetheless, there's a striking pattern.If the container was "dark skin" and the issue in question was "crime statistics", would you be saying the same thing?
>>215597170>>215597267How many copies of Cinderella do you have?
>>215601015all of them
reminds me how they got so close to a perfect 4k lotr remaster but then decided to smash the fuck out of it with shitty DNR that turned everything plastic
>>215597502soulsoulless
>anti-soul gas
>>215597572I have this as a transparent layer attached to my vision constantly (especially visibe when its dark)It's called visual snow
>>215597639oh, shut the fuck up, you fucking eye strained faggot, you idiots are so afraid of color, fuck off
>>215597301IDK about this specific scene but alot of what happened to Kai is due to Japanese censorship laws being much more stringent now
>>215597763>Just 74,999 more frames to go.I would say at 76 minutes long, it would be closer to 120-130k frames.
>>215597572It's zoomers, you fucking retard. Why do you intentionally use wrong terminology?
>>215599154The fans care.
>>215597301>>215602080It's also because the Japanese send lower quality video scans to foreign countries, and keep the highest quality video scans for themselves. The do this because they are afraid of Japanese customers buying and importing cheaper discs from America.
>>215602080I had a complete set of DBZ on VHS in Japanese with a bootleg fansub that I bought at a flea market around 1999.I wish I still had them, probably worth a fortune now.
>>215598582shut up nigger
>>215598740Tom arnold looks like a cgi background character here.
>>215597058Blue on my heckin Blu-Ray?!
>>215597058Fucking criterion retards
>>215599624A little nose bump is fine. Regal. Noble.>>215604398>buy blue ray of movie>surprised the movie is more blue
>>215601851for me its trying to walk outside on a sunny snowy winter day. nightmare level stuff.
>>215597058I really don't understand why everyone is so against grain on film.
>>215597058I've been it for months, i'll continue saying it: DVDs/DVDrips are all a man needs.
>>215597058>>215597170>>215597267https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x=472&y=143&d1=18304&d2=18305&s1=212249&s2=212233&l=0&i=9&go=1It does indeed look very good
>>215601227the 4k lotr remaster is based on the extended version which already had dnr. they didn't just add it at the last minute, it was already built in. it was not a new scan like a lot of sites said.
>>215598563No, that recent Aliens release was 100% an automatic AI-upscale botch job. Googly eyes, sharply detailed face wrinkles on people otherwise completely out of focus, wavering shapes, and more.
>>215602486>James Cameron is a zoomer>Peter Weir is a zoomer>Peter Jackson is a zoomer
>>215606078zoomer sensibilities yes
>>215597502You’d need to find the actual art/artist that painted the cells and adjust the color to reference, and the computer just lets Disney put out a fast product that’s “good enough” imagine if they hired the autists who attempted to restore A New Hope themselves. It takes too much work. But hopefully it gets done, and that they calibrated everything. Half the time the TV upscales things and destroys it anyways.
>>215606078They're not zoomers they're retards
>>215597502It's done deliberately, with the excuse being, "well it just happens by itself automatically when we do the high def! out of our hands! we're powerless to stop it!!" Their hope is that if they make old entertainment look worse, especially when it was made in the days where evil racist men called the shots, it will make it seem that modern entertainment is not as bad as it really is. Particularly, this is about pulling the wool over the eyes of new viewers who don't know any better. It's all fucking deliberate.
>>215606659I think it's more just to destroy art that people like. They want to replace beauty with ugliness.
>>215606506fun fact: bottom is more accurate. there is no way in hell some shithole industrial [whatever] would have lighting like the top, it would be the cheapest fluorescent tubes they could find, which look like the bottom. you can even see some color crush on the guy on the left in the top from attempting to make the completely unnatural lighting look like natural light.
>>215607199I do business with plating companies like in the image and they do indeed have lighting like above. the lights are stained yellow by the fumes, resulting in soft yellow light rather than harsh white light.
>>215606659
>>215597058Leave the fuckin' grain there! All right? I love fuckin' grain in my kinos! I stick motherfuckin' film grain in my pillows at night, so they look like your waifu's crotch in the morning! All right? So leave the fuckin' cocksuckin' grain WHERE IT IS!
>>215597502>when you nut, but she's still sucking
>>215597170I hate that some studios have started charging $80 for the 4k that fixes their $20 bluray that ruined a movie
>>215607382hehe made me laugh, imagining Eugene Levy anxiously nodding after I've ranted crazily yet truthfully
>>215597502the tiny highlights on his head and ears became less visible
>>215607199>fun fact: bottom is more accurate. there is no way in hell some shithole industrial [whatever] would have lighting like the topretard
>>215607199T. Michael mann
>>215607574unironically this.fuck digital
>>215608241Kek
why are normalfags deathly afraid of grain?
>>215598651>And you're a grown ass man on 4chan crying about a cartoon for little girls.>t. grown ass man on 4chan crying about a Disney thread
Laserdisc remains the superior medium
>>215607627What about the studios that ruin 4K releases with AI slop? Can't wait for the 140$ 8K releases that foxes those.
>>215598740Youtube looks like shit these days to gaslight you
>>215597058I just got the Umbrella Blu Ray of Boling Point. It looks pretty good. I got to see that very nice intro with the city much better.
>if you didn’t watch a movie in its original run you’re stuck with a gimped version forever >and even if you did watch it in the original run if your theater doesn’t have the correct projector you watched a gimped version Why are movies like this?
>>215597617this is one of the dumbest threads I've seen here in a long time
>>215598740JUST
>>215597617Except you got it completely wrong you fucking imbecile. Boomers are buying giant TVs every other year and leaving on all of the frame smoothing and noise reduction settings. Zoomers are the ones listening to playlists with artificial vinyl surface noise added.
>>215597502*bleh*
>>215607574I actually laughed out loud
>>215597058>>215597170This. 4K's greatest strength hasn't even been higher fidelity. It's been firing all the people that worked on blu ray from brightening the fuck out of everything and wiping all the grain out. The blu ray of the shining compared to the 4k version is rage inducing
>>215598074us bluray looks best
>>215611342not only did they change the colors, they changed the music too.
>>215597058revisionism is the worst thing in the world from politics to cinema.just let the past be what it actually was.
>>215611382I never heard of that, that's fucking unbelievable! Isn't that supposed to be the ball jack throws around? (Or at least, maybe it is maybe it isn't.)
>>215611382>>215611540And like, it doesn't even make sense for Danny. No one in the 70s was buying pink toys for their young son to play with.
>>215611391But the past didn't have good enough graphics, anon
>>215597058Blue-ificationInterpolationUpscalingThe trifecta of fucking up media.
>>215597451look what they've done to my boy
>>215611716Crazy how we used to have immediately responsive games due to the lightening speed of CTRs, now we have input lag due to digital visual processing, and in the future lag will be even worse because they want us all to start streaming games. Gonna be so great when I have to wait for the button I just pressed has to send a signal halfway across the world and back before my character responds.
>>215597451This is the worst. I downloaded like 11 seasons of the simpsons and they did this shit to it. I just want the original quality and I can't find it. No I don't care if it's in 480p and has noise, just so long as it doesn't look like... this
I just get the movies I really like on 4k>The thing>Alien>Halloween >Trick r treat>Predator Am I fucked? They look fine to me but idk if it's 100% good.
>>215611794I keep getting banned from online games for hate/abusive speech anyway. I think I'm just done with modern games. They seem to be specifically tailored to faggots.
>>215597058retards generalizing a format over bad uses were a mistake
>>215601851Huh, didn't know this had a name, I do see faint color swirls when I close my eyes.
>>215606096Kek, boomy can't hide no mo
>>215597617>George lucas>James Cameron>Ridley Scott>John Carpenter >Virtually every old person at best buyCope.
>>215611564they might if they were sexually abusing the boy. Obviously, Kubric always intended for the toys to be pink, but due to the technical limitations of the time, it just wasn't possible
>>215606506Michael Mann is a pathetic liar, he never "intended" the movie to look like a digital grading trend that wouldn't exist for decades. They could've used color filters on the lights, or on the camera, or done a different color timing in the edit. Like I said, a liar.
>>215612085Yup, also every game takes up 300GB of disc space, needs a quantum computer to run well and requires root level permissions so they can install a backdoor crypto mining virus.
>>215612949>Michael Mann is a pathetic liar,Par on course for his ethnicity
Many such cases.
>>215597451I will never forgive them for this
>>215598563>They ran it through a de-noising algorithm (today you kids call it "AI" because you'll believe anything)Yeah. Hollywood has been using AI to ruin movies for years.Nevermind other digital editing.
>>215598563>>215598740There was a recent one where it "halucinated" new faces onto characters that were out of focus in the background.
>>215597058There have been plenty of cartoons upscaled without any loss of detail. That shit looks like they ran it through an AI upscaler when all they had to do is run the film through a higher-resolution digital recorder like Hollywood normally does.
>>215597572I thought that might be a stereogram with a hidden image in it. Nope.
>>215614269For what purpose?
>>215607574Hearty Kek
>>215614269ooohOOOOOhoooh ayoooo wher'mah giiibbbssss
>>215614319it's an upscale program. sometimes it thinks people in the background need to be enhanced.
>>215599496Just making shit up.
>>215597058AI did this
>>215601227Lord of the Rings was the original graded to shit and back movie. If you want it to look like a decent, normal film, you'd have to rebuild it from scratch. That's if the original filmed takes can be dug out. Impossible task that would inevitably creep into revisionism.
