I haven't seen the film since its release and do not plan on purchasing the discs. Are those lines even necessary ? Are there actions so obvious as to render the lines meaningless ? Is it obvious that the lines are missing ? JC could have eliminated them and decided to just let the visuals...
At this point, those original blu rays of TITANIC are worth treasuring, not unlike those early versions of the Star Wars original trilogy only available on VHS or Laserdisc...
I'm guessing.Perhaps I'm off by a percent or two. Maybe some of our other more "qualified" posters can give an estimate of the percentage of home theater buffs that get their TV sets professionally set-up and calibrated vs. everyone else on the planet. I'm not talking about industry...
Crude manipulation of the original elements manipulated by the film's author? Ok then. And there is no critics conspiracy. 99% of the people buying/viewing Titanic are watching it on a tv without even turning off the stock motion reduction settings. It looks perfectly fine to them and they...
I'm sure when Disney wants to do something with The Sound of Music they will. I would say that all the major studios have bigger fish to fry these days then worry about catalog titles on physical media. Just support physical media best you can. The two titles mentioned earlier - Carousel and...
The helicopters! The Doors! The Ride of the Valkyries! The sound of the big napalm drop (I still remember my father saying softly "Oh my God." when that happened.) The sounds of the jungle in the "tiger" scene. Carmine Coppola's bass heavy score at the end. It's the zenith of the marriage of...
70mm non-imax prints can look absolutely stunning even when just blow ups. there are many people - inc. me - who saw Apocalypse Now in 70mm at the Ziegfeld Theater in NY in 1979 and it is an expereince never to be forgotten. Like seeing the Beatles, Led Zeppelin at their peak.
That was a very eloquent way of stating that. Something subliminal happening in the brain that just connects with us film as opposed to jarring us with a hyper clarity that isn't like real vision.
I find it slightly amusing that so many complaints are being hurled against the two filmmakers who arguably have done more to champion "computer generated artificiality" in their work than any others. Like Lucas and Cameron are expected to embrace the crude and archaic technologies they were...
Yes I agree. I was being slightly sarcastic. There is a strong urge with certain directors to constantly tinker and update and correct. It's part of the creative fire within to want to rethink and recut and improve. But their taste isn't always infallible. We've seen this questionable...
