>Hmmm I want to rewatch that old film, I think I'm gonna buy the latest Criterion release, surely I won't go wrong with it
Why do they do it?
>>217407108top - original bluray releasebottom - criterion release
>>217407108>purchase a bluray>upset when it's blueIt's in the fucking name
This is why I only watch black and white movies these days.
>>217407132It's just the blue on the blu-ray disc seeping into the image over time
>>217407212Don't Criterion fuck those up too nowadays?
>>217407215no wonder bluray is dead and streaming is the future
>>217407108how does someone do this to a film and then sleep soundly at night
>>217407331The same way they would chop them down into 4:3 30 years ago. Very few people actually care about replicating the exact experience.
>>217407383The 4:3 chop was something of a technical necessity.This was uncalled for violence.
>>217407383that actually makes sense retardthey did that because of tvs it doesn't make fucking sense to put blue filters in movies
Why do they do this? I know in some circumstances it's supposed to replicate the "look" of film projection but more often than not it's just a blue filter
>>217407108bottom is more accurate, full spectrum lighting was pretty expensive and rare in the 70s and 80s. it was always either yellow or blue. it was a plot point in joe vs the volcano, but color grading erased it, so tom hanks is complaining about what looks like "normal" lights being soul sucking.
>>217407426>>217407446Fucking kill yourselves. You're probably the same kind of fags that like the HD Seinfeld release where they chop the show up to make it 16:9. Star Trek TNG's Blu Ray got it right by preserving the original aspect ratio.
>>217407461because you believe everything that some faggot posts on siamese airbed construction forums on internet
pissfilters ruined movies
>>217407744Ridleyslop makes me miss piss filters
>>217407587I'm not defending it retardI'm saying it makes sense why they did itit makes no sense to put blue filters
>>217407811reminder that the grey and brown colorgrading in ancient history films was invented by ridley
>>217407552no it's not mann you fucking blue filter retard
>>217407832Blue filter is the trend so they're chasing the trend with no thought of why
>>217407811Ridleyslop movies are nothing but pissfilters
>>217408004
the predator blu-ray is the worst thing everi think they used blurring or something like a photoshop filter to get rid of the film grain
>>217408092I hope they never release a piss filtered Waterloo movieImagine looking at this and thinking it needs color grading.
Where do you ACTUALLY go to learn what the best release of a film is and what quality it was released in?
>>217407446what does the gibberish on the bottom mean? It looks identical to the middle one
>>217407331it's what happens when you restore without the film negativesthey try to compensate the color loss by adding it in digitally and offsetting the temperatureand since blue degrades faster than the other two colors in old film all of these restorations end up with either a blue or greenish tint
>>217408198this is color graded retard
>>217408092what is this upscaled garbage
>>217408245https://caps-a-holic.com/ you can compare releases with this
>>217407768I really wish someone would add the colour back to all those harry potter movies. Even askaban
>>217408619thank you kindly
>>217407205> called blu-ray> ray is actually red and not blue at allBlatant false advertising.
I don't know where you can watch it online, but the HD re-release of Oldboy is actually a rare example of color grading being better in a later release.
>>217407108I have never been in a room with lighting and coloring like the bottom in my entire life.This just doesnt exist in real life.
>>217407768I like the comfy 6th movie.
>>217407331It's the directors and DP's that do this as it's what they want.Criterion don't walk into the studio and tell the fucking director, "right, we're making your movie all green and there's nothing you can do".It's the other way around - the director/DP sits in the editing booth and they tell Criterion how they want it to look.
>>217407177lol is this one real?
>>217408268Are you blind? Look at the background, Compare the colour of the sky and mountains - they are no longer yellow.
>>217407851I felt like this was meant to be on the nose like watching him become empower was so insane it was almost from a different planet or in a dream. At no point did this feel real.
>>217407552Don't come in here talking sense. These dimwits just want to get mad at something. Anything.
>>217407108Ohhh okay so that's why they call it Blu-Ray
Technically most of these "blue" releases are not just from blu-rays, most of them are from UHD blu-rays, so called "4k remasters" as they call them. They slap this label on whatever they want, and the result could be anything.
>>217410160Anon the mountains are the same exact piss yellow shade as the middle
>>217410148It's obviously two different scenes, the fat dude isn't even wearing the same clothes
>>217410291what the fuck is wrong with his face at the bottom? is that AI??
>>217410384No, it's a cyborg.
>>217410384well, yes, actually in both ways
>>217410384Yes, Cameron hates film grain and has been using AI to remove it from his films.Pic related is not a shitpost, that's what the latest release of True Lies looks like.
>>21740758716:9 isn't even the worst part. the film grain on the netflix release is just too much.
>>217410665Yep, Cameron nowadays is Scott/Lucas tier senile idiot.
>>217410229You reminded me of something. My uncle swore off blu-ray and only streamed and bought digital because the first blu-ray player he bought, he hooked it up wrong and it made the entire screen tinted blue. He literally thought that better picture quality was done at the cost of making the movies blue.
>>217410838What about Coppola
>>217410838It bothers me that there are so many directors now being senile, and saying "THIS IS THE ULTIMATE VERSION" now that their vision has declined so much that they don't even know what life looks like. Elders around me all complain about vision problems, but directors in their 70s/80s all think their vision is perfect.
>>217407108>>217407177Every studio does this to every movie re-release now. They fuck with the grading, the contrast, they do grain smoothing and all kinds of horrible things.It's why I'm sticking with Laserdisc.
>>217410838Lookin' mighty smooth there! Reminds me of smoothe Yoda.
>this fucking thread
>>217408619Interesting
James Cameron fucking up his previous movies with shitty ass AI upscaling and shitty color grading makes me seethe more than him wasting the last part of his career consumed with Avatarslop
