Laserdisc look like 12 inch CD's.
avatar
It was not in a sleeve shining in the late afternoon sun. Kind of hard to miss. Had a white label like Image titles did, but not certain. Passed that spot yesterday and it was gone of course.
avatar
@SilverWook was it without the packaging? Or how did you tell it apart from a vinyl record? i don't know anything about laserdiscs, just curious. I thought they were roughly the same size as records
avatar
Just get iZotope tbf
avatar
There's currently a sale on “Master Restoration Suite” by Wave Arts. Does anybody know if it's any good? https://vstbuzz.com/deals/70-off-master-...wave-arts/
avatar
Maybe something ultra rare... or some country music video clips...
avatar
Now I will always wonder what movie was on it.
avatar
I saw a Laserdisc lying on the side of the road today. Were it not in a bad traffic spot I would have tried to get it.
avatar
Just one night... Seems as we drive Friday to the concert... Sleep one night in Warsaw, and drive back to Berlin on Saturday... And on Sunday I'll drive back from Berlin to my personal destonation
avatar
So you're gonna be in Poland? Tongue
avatar
so, seems as if I am going to see Rammstein in Warsaw Stadium in 2020 Big Grin

Doh!

People need to stop recording with their phone vertically lol

Friend in LA got busted trying to record it, but you can see it wasn't faded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_conti...qf4zALS4tM
avatar
There was at least one 70mm print of the SE, screened in Norway in '97 at least according to the interwebs: https://www.in70mm.com/library/engagemen.../index.htm
avatar
According to people on forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com who attended the screening, the print was from the early '80s, with virtually no fade. There was a tear in the print around when the death star explodes, which happened the first and only other time it had been screened.
avatar
Nevermind then. Thanks for the info!
avatar
The opening scene was recreated for an 1996 IMAX doc about visual effects.
avatar
According to the official Academy YT channel, even Marcia Lucas will attend as a guest. Wow!
avatar
I believe they made some 15/70 prints though, because I remember seeing a featurette about how they remade the intro scene with the Destroyer with impressive explosions in full frame for IMAX.
avatar
But no, there were not as far as I know any 70mm prints made, though there were some '70mm cels' that were produced through a different process.
avatar
I've just got home from hospital again, ended up in and out for a few days.
avatar
The really big question is were there 70m prints for the SE? Paging Dr. Poita!
avatar
Wow... That seems to be an awesome event.. 70mm star wars...
avatar
avatar
Yeah, a friend an I got out tickets in the insane time, when the server were just overheated, but we got lucky. We had seats (was good, my friend had an operation about a week before the concert)
avatar
Nice, enjoy yourself! Did you manage to get tickets within the few hours before it was sold out?
avatar
Yay! Almost weekend! I'll gonna see Rammstein tomorrow in Berlin!
avatar
maybe anyone in europe (Germany) interested in a XBox HD-DVD drive? It is possible that I might can buy one for about 20 euro... but I already have two...
avatar
Get well, poita!
avatar
I know I haven't been on in a bit, but if anyone's interested I'm doing another livestream tonight on my youtube channel at 8:30 Central. https://www.youtube.com/user/duckyousuckr
avatar
Hope you're doing well Poita!!!
avatar
Hi guys, I've just gotten home from a week in the hospital. Going through now and catching up on PMs and threads.

Reminding everyone of the crowdfunded 3-D restoration of 1953 Mexican film "El corazón y la espada": https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3-d...spada1953/ it's about 86% funded now! There's also a test scan https://youtu.be/oLHC1Z57p-Y and it looks great! I just watched it with red-cyan glasses. Big Grin
avatar
one day there will be only CGI movies, or movies with unknown (and cheap) actors with their faces replaces with the ones of dead, famous actors... meanwhile, it's funny to get a mix of the faces of Sylvester Stallone, The Rock and Matt LeBlanc on top of Arnold body! Happy
avatar
the most eerie part is how it can't really work out what's in the shadow (or the edge of the face shot over the shoulder) and keeps shifting back to arnold
avatar
avatar
How about another alternative where Terminator 2 starred Sylvester Stallone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQvCmQFScMA
avatar
Can't we have a timetravel movie with the plot, that everything Terminator Movie after Terminator 2 has to be prevented to protect the world from a dark fate?
avatar
If that is true, I won't see that movie at all...
avatar
Terminator Dark Fate plot leaks from a test screening: https://heroichollywood.com/terminator-d...s-changes/ (the film sounds terrible and plot is recycled).
avatar
avatar
managed to pick up The Dark Crystal UHD in a 2 for £20 UHD offer. saw the trailer for the new one and went to fish the BD of the original out to discovered that i must of sold it a while back haha
avatar
New kickstarter for 3-D restoration of 1953 Mexican film "El corazón y la espada": https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/3-d...spada1953/

Can't wait to watch The Dark Crystal series.
avatar
The Dark Crystal - Age of Resistance Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSV42j8lccg
avatar
I had some hopes this can be a normal film because; Cameron is back (new trilogy+Hamilton+Schwarzenegger). But unfortunaltley the transcript is garbage. All these big names are more for a market trick. Probably it will be first and the last from new trilogy, same as Genisys. Too bad, they blow up it again. And at the end, it's not Cameron's work, it's Miller's work and from 8 stupid writers... From T2 I didn't see any normal film.
avatar
Also on Lethal Weapon, I thought the series was good (I've only seen season 1), really all the sequels were a betrayal of the first film's central theme of Riggs coming back from the verge of suicide, converting the series into a comedy (as this article https://outline.com/ktdHMB calls it the sequels are their own comedy trilogy that didn't fit the theme or genre of the original). The sequels really are completely different off in a world of their own and almost a full parody of the original like what Scary Movie is to Scream or what Ghostbusters 2016 is to the original. Lethal Weapon 2 is my favourite of the sequels if only for retaining some of the original film's essence, not saying that the other two are bad at all but really none of them fit the original.
avatar
@marin888 you're surprised? Cameron endorsed Genisys. https://outline.com/nGy9vP https://youtu.be/7LqgdNVTcRA Then later after everyone hated it he said he didn't like it either. https://outline.com/hsbAeN I wouldn't believe a thing he says about Terminator Dark Fate, movie will be terrible should be direct-to-video like Escape Plan 3.
avatar
Avatar is not good Cameron
avatar
So, if you play the T2 CAV Laserdisc backwards it says "Cameron is dead?" Tongue
avatar
Hum what I think he died after doing Avatar, which is a 1995 movie made in 2009.
avatar
I think it looks OK for an early look. Also T2 Cameron is not modern Cameron, he died after he made True Lies
avatar
What bonehead signed off on that music? It's a sleeping pill. Using the original theme music should have been a no-brainer...
avatar
Yes, the franchise is dead.
avatar
Agreed looks terrible
avatar
Well, it's about exactly what I expected. Definitely not my cup of tea.
avatar
He has been saying that on every film since T3 tho. "This time it's the true sequel to T2" he says.
avatar
This looks exactly like Genisys... hard to believe that Cameron himself said that Dark Fate is the official third movie in the franchise.
avatar
What the hell they done... extreme disappointment, pure trash! Shocked
avatar
Terminator: Dark Fate Trailer 23. 6:00 AM PST Smile https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/statu...2514873344 Brad Fiedel NOT Scoring Sad
avatar
It would probably be like Lethal Weapon. Younger cast than the one in the film, watered down to make it appropriate for kids, and without everything that made the original great
avatar
Wow... ever seen a UHD BD being worse than a BD? https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&d1=13...=527&y=251
avatar
I think it would be fun, if they would have done it years before, with the original cast. On the other hand, I really would like to see a kind of a "prequel" show, like his missions, and keeping the family unclued...
avatar
On one hand, it wouldn't make for a bad show, on the other, I feel like what made the movie even work was Cameron as a director and the leading cast. So to be blunt, I feel like the show will feel very hollow and wouldn't last very long if it does reach the airing of the pilot.
avatar
avatar
We don't have the bandwidth or diskspace for that. I would have to frequently wipe the image database just as other sites

screenshotcomparison.fanres.com? Wink

whenever it works... or http://framecompare.com

screenshotcomparison.com cleaned up their database again. ENOUGH!

Is there anywhere to look up what film was shot / released on what film stock?

I didn't think about May the Fourh as SW day (blast me!) but even if consciently unaware, I celebrated anyway, so I could be forgiven (I hope!)

OK. Strange question. Is there somewhere a list of OM versions but with more footage only on top and bottom (comparing to BD versions)?
avatar
Congrats! Phone company guy told me it would take an act of Congress to get the copper lines replaced in my area.

Finally sending you guys stuff won't be a problem any longer

I'm getting fiber at home, after 5 years of being literally in every single street around me but mine

You ever just have that dumb thought where you know it's something that probably no one will ever make but you would want to see if it was a thing for the sheer ridiculousness of the concept? Stranger Things: Super-8 Digest
avatar
@MrBrown. That is crazy.
avatar
"Zombie - Dawn of the Dead" no longer is banned in Germany! Just indicated, but now it is legal to sell the movie in Germany to adults! PARTY!

I dont know what that is sadly

Anyone seen Hateful Eight extended anywhere but US netflix?

Hey there. Anyone home ?

SCART isn't exactly RGB as stated earlier- it CAN carry RGB, but it sometimes doesn't. I assume you're talking about this in a context for retro gaming, so in this case, it's easier to get a SCART to Component converter box than gamble on a cable. Much safer.
avatar
@IcePrick Afaik, SCART can carry RGB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCART), but that doesn't mean that every device with SCART connectors supports those. In other words, SCART supports multiple different types of signals. If a device has a scard output, but only sends the composite video through that, that RGB adaptor cable will not give you any output signal.
avatar
Quick question. Do SCART to Component cables (https://tinyurl.com/y3avkzp6) work in any meaningful way? Can they carry an RGB signal?
avatar
OK. Thank U. It was important if it's official. So it looks like only Russians have that "special" version
avatar
to answer your questions: IVI and Megogo are legal streaming platforms, as Amazon and iTunes; is it possible to find their versions out in the wild, but frankly I dunno where - and, in that case, I'm not allowed to write it here! Wink
