CAP Code Reports
Title/Offending Reel/Studio/Labratory/Annoyance Factor x/10
Cold Mountain / Reel 3 / Miramax / Deluxe / 7
Notes: Some extremely frustrating deluxe markers all throughout reel 3, flashing subliminally every few minutes.
Kill Bill: Volume 1 / Reel 5 / Miramax / Deluxe / 10
Quite simply, the WORST cap coded film of them all. All throughout reel 5 containing most of the final showdown sequence, there's blatant, ya-can't-miss-it-unless-you-got-up-to-go-to-the-bathroom Deluxe coding over the reel like it's a bloody virus! Coding when The Bride walks into the bathroom and the wall dissolves to see her inside (where our eyes are focusing on, no less!). Block action during the black and white fighting. More block action during the blue-light sequence. Heck there's even a code or two on faces during closeups! Not to get profane or anything, but shameless, fucking shameless.
Master and Commander: The Far Side Of The World / Reel 3 / 20th Century Fox, Miramax, Universal / Deluxe / 8
Comments: Nearly unwatchable in reel 3 during a pivotal storm sequence, with patterned blocks appearing at the first two frames of each shot, as well as throughout bright shots of sky and faces. There's also a bit where a character looks into a telescope, and the first two frames of the POV of his telescope has a bright "H" mark right in the middle of the scope. Blink and you'll NOT miss it!
The Last Samurai / Reel 4 / Warner Bros. / Technicolor / 3
Comments: Not too bad for Technicolor's non-intrusive coding system, but it's more reddish than it used to be. Only a few spots where we can clearly see the code getting in the way of the picture.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring Extended Edition / Reel 9 / New Line Cinema / Deluxe / 9
Comments: WOWSERS. Anyone who claims they haven't seen Deluxe cap code will be changed forever. Nearly TWENTY instances of blocky coding during a pivotal sequence involving the Fellowship arriving at Lorien and later on in the reel when Galadriel speaks to Sam. Misses out on a "10" due to not being as utterly blatant as "Kill Bill" by flashing code on a cheek during a bright closeup. EGAD!
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Extended Edition / Reel 5 / New Line Cinema / Deluxe / 9
The Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King / Reel 4 / New Line Cinema / Deluxe / 5
Love Actually
Mona Lisa Smile / Reel 4 / Columbia, Revolution / Deluxe / 7
Underworld / Reel 4 / Screen Gems / Deluxe / 8
MORE titles to be added soon...
