Fincher's revisionist once again like Se7en does. Waited for the Blu-ray and 4K releases debut, just like that!?

Yeah, I don't get these people with their digital brain now: why would you smooth that piece of wood? It looked much more real and authentic with the lines on it.

Anyone watched Kill Bill 4k yet? Faces when in motion seemed off to me.

Not surprising as Tarantino did not rescan the original negatives by reediting the entire movie; Lionsgate reused the 2K DI (back then, computers are not powerful enoguh to render the film at 4K DI until Spider-Man 2 in 2004) like Universal for Inglorious Basterds. The true 4K from Tarantino are the first three and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (with the dreaded 7.1 remix on the UHD; neither does the near-fielded 5.1 mix). The first two should sync with the LaserDisc PCM Stereo, while Jackie Brown can sync with DTS LD audio as the proper 5.1 mix. Reservoir Dogs: https://fanrestore.com/thread-1461.html and Pulp Fiction: https://fanrestore.com/thread-5695.html But no Jackie Brown for now which does have fantastic transfer to watch

Here is a comparison of the changes made in Alien Romulus to the Ash puppet: https://youtu.be/FSkAhWQhEas?si=7LVohWV6ZDfUAshs

What's the source on the theatrical shots? Is there a cam/screener out there?

Not sure, was wondering myself. Maybe its the orignal streaming file and they fixed it for the BD/UHD?

I kinda think the original looked more convincing, except maybe the grading. Oh, well, I didn't like the movie at all anyway, although Rook was the best part for me since everything else was terrible.

FYI. Looks like there are two different cuts of Den of Thieves 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comme...s_2_could/

"-only dialogue" Really? This is not the first time Lionsgate pull this bull when they released the shorten cuts, while the international cuts got it instead (Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard & Rambo: Last Blood). That pisses me off which even the additional scenes to fill up plotholes (and not just the violence to avoid an NC-17 rating) improves the overall experience cut from the shorten version of the film. In Rambo's case, the alternative opening significantly changed the tone of the movie after all

for anyone who was sleeping on this, its both the UHD and D.C., its $12 w/ flat $4 shipping, no matter if you order 1 item or many. I got this on sale for $26, MSRP is $40 https://www.hamiltonbook.com/blackhat-uhd-blu-ray_4

Very cool video. His opinions kind of dovetail into what I've thought of modern digital cameras. Just because you have the ISO to film it doesn't mean you shouldn't properly light it

Thank you, very cool.

At 5:48 for the Se7en part, ouch. Not only Fincher kept the revisionist changes, he also butchered the lightning to make it too bright for certain dark scenes. The same Fincher also butchered Panic Room after over eighteen years from it's Blu-ray format debut. Viewers want perfection, not tackle with revisionist, DNR and AI changes!

Yeah, Fincher has ruined "Panic Room" even more so than he did with "Seven". Everything looks artificial and oversharpened now. It's no longer a real home, it's a digital set: every curtain has been changed, many windows as well, every reflection erased, but lensflares added, go figure, and he CGIed the Coca-Cola can so you can read the brand instead of seeing its backside. Fincher is completely gone. He was my favorite at some point, he's now on my blacklist. I'll see if I can cancel my preorder.

Panic Room looks like a general upscale even apart from the intermittent "fixes" and "changes". I really, really hope he doesn't do that w. Fight Club

Neat Video 6 is out, looks like a TON of fixes, improvements, new configuration, faster https://www.neatvideo.com/features/versi...tory/nv6pr

https://collider.com/fight-club-4k-relea...cher-cost/ And I still never trust that for what Fincher did to the two films "restored" into mess
