What's the source on the theatrical shots? Is there a cam/screener out there?
avatar
Not sure, was wondering myself. Maybe its the orignal streaming file and they fixed it for the BD/UHD?
avatar
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.
avatar
FYI. Looks like there are two different cuts of Den of Thieves 2: https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/comme...s_2_could/
avatar
"-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
avatar
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!
avatar
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.
avatar
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 Sad
avatar
Neat Video 6 is out, looks like a TON of fixes, improvements, new configuration, faster https://www.neatvideo.com/features/versi...tory/nv6pr
avatar
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
