Yeah only one, District 9, and it's nowhere near the quality of Paul Verhoeven's Robocop. Anyway he's off his "dream project" which clearly means MGM, the studio famously not known for creative interference, had no confidence in him!
avatar
"Blomkamp has only made one good movie": Not sure if serious or trolling. Wink
avatar
Yes but his reason for leaving is rubbish. He told a producer "I have always wanted to do this, this is my dream project" https://hnentertainment.co/exclusive-ed-...rs-return/ I'll bet he was fired as a writer and it went downhill from there. Blomkamp has only made one good movie, and he already left (or was fied) from "Greenland" earlier this year too.
avatar
It seems like they are still going to make that Robocop though, just without Blomkamp.
avatar
Neill Blomkamp is off Robocop Returns. Hmm, maybe he shouldn't have been making promises about a movie that didn't even have a completed script?! Just like "Alien 5"... https://twitter.com/NeillBlomkamp/status...8535439360

Depends on your taste/personality. Personally I would say no. You definitely need to see Infinity War to understand Endgame, but that's about it. The other movies are connected and tell what happened before, but that connection is only skin-deep and unless you tend to nerd out about little references here and there, it probably doesn't matter.
avatar
Ostensibly.
avatar
Phase 3 : I have only seen 3 films out of 11. Do I need to watch the remaining ones to get Avengers Infinity Endgame?
avatar
I wish it was still the 90s.
avatar
Definitely agreed. This teaser is so amazingly made that it's still giving me the chills!
avatar
Very cool! The good old days when they put a lot of effort into amazing teasers.
avatar
Has anyone seen this one before? https://vimeo.com/26034371
avatar
@Valeyard A lot of these trailers were either Post produced in the analog realm or a film-out of SD Digital Betacam Tapes
avatar
The interesting thing is that a lot of these articles assume that the trailer would have been available in HD now if it wasn't pulled in cinemas. That's not really true, even the Matrix trailer didn't exist in HD until I had it transferred! https://vimeo.com/212361397 and that's the same with many, many iconic trailers.

I might have to admit, that my first.. Scepticism was not necessary... Big Grin

8-35mm @ antonianafilm.it
avatar
avatar
even Esquire magazine wrote an article about the trailer!
avatar
Well, I'm not a lawyer, so maybe it sounds more problematic to me than it actually is.
avatar
Scanning isn't illegal, there's nothing they can sue them over, and that facility only does scaning not restoration or distribution...
avatar
Well, it was pretty lightheaded to publicly mention the scanning place to begin with.
avatar
Yeah, but I would have avoided naming people (even if just forum nicknames) or the forum... and especially not the scanning company.. if sony/columbia tristar is going to sue... they have infos
avatar
I don't think the attention hurts, read the youtube comments everyone's very positive about that upload (and almost 600,000 views too!) Plus every other article on it is positive too - and there seems to be lots of them. Tongue
avatar
Oh yeah, just what it needed.. attention... NOT!
avatar
avatar
Yoshi Killer2S, I would imagine.
avatar
avatar
Alright, well thanks anyway.
avatar
The US might have more bonus features...
avatar
I do not know. because I did not find infos about that US set
avatar
Is it any different to this version? https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Moon-Four-D...0783114222
avatar
this should be 1.33:1 PAL RC2, German/English Language
avatar
avatar
Yeah - I just realised that as soon as I got it!
avatar
But not the so called "Signature Edition" that is claimed to be 1.78:1
avatar
German oop DVD has it in 1.33:1
avatar
Does anybody know if the series 'From the Earth to the Moon' is available in its original 4:3 format?
avatar
I've spent the weekend and last few days in hospital as my daughter got herself in some trouble, and it was touch and go for a while. I might be offline for the rest of the week.
avatar

Which means he foretold his own death in 2019.
avatar
Time to die.
avatar
NOOOOOO!!! Sad Sad Sad R.I.P. Rutger, you were one of my favourite actor, star of so countless great movies that I can't remember...
avatar
"Like tears in the rain" will always be one of my most beloved movie scenes ever. RIP Rutger
avatar
WHAT?! Sad Rest in Peace!
avatar
avatar
No... I just have some DVD releases. And IIRC Germany started with the DC on DVD, and the TC was when every country got that 5 version DVD release...
avatar
They fixed digitally Ford's chin while he speaks, but this resulted in him being out of sync in all the dubs lol
avatar
I never knew! I wonder who forgot to insert dialogues there when they went to dub it. It makes me think that was never on the transcript, it's quite unheard of that they might forget something like that, or it was dubbed but mixed wrongly. Anyone from France or Germany has an early release with the theatrical cut at hand?
avatar
As far as I know, the dialog's always been low but audible in the English track. In fact, it was noticeably out of sync, which was why Ford's son was brought in to help fix the lip sync digitally for the FC.
avatar
I've just watched Blade Runner on Italian TV, it was the version with off-screen narration by a bored Harrison Ford and had no unicorn dream, so I imagine it's the theatrical cut (or international theatrical cut?). I was watching it with the English audio track on and I noticed an audio difference that I don't remember reading about. Dekkard goes into the pet shop to ask about the snake scale (just before going to Taffey Lewis club), on the English track I could hear all the dialogues when he asks the owner to tell him who bought the snake. I was surprised because I remember that scene having no audible dialogues, since Dekkard enters the shop but the camera stays outside and you're not SUPPOSED to hear him from inside the store. In Italian it was how I remembered it: only sounds from the street and no dialogues from inside the shop, it's clear what's happening anyway, Dekkard is roughening up the owner to obtain information. Are there alternate version of that scene in English where you don't hear the dialogues? Which version does it belong to?
avatar
Yep gone already. It was just for so many hours.
avatar
Don't see the deals online anymore. Are they gone?
avatar
Newegg USA has 10TB HDDs for $160 and 8TB HDDs for $125 for the next few hours. I'm tapped out, but if anyone is looking for storage, those are great prices.
avatar
Ah, the innocence of the youngsters... Happy
avatar
Ah makes sense then.
avatar
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
avatar
Doh!

avatar
People need to stop recording with their phone vertically lol
avatar
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!!!

Hi guys, I've just gotten home from a week in the hospital. Going through now and catching up on PMs and threads.
