Darn it. Well, what about that Blu-ray they released in Holland, is it any good?

recaptcha, although it used to be good before google bought it, is google now and google is evil.
avatar
@FrankT I meant website owners really, as an end user you don't have a choice, you're right about that
avatar
@TomArrow That's not easy when it's like, everywhere.
avatar
indeed, a very simple captcha where you have to type the letters is more than enough for a small blog like mine!
avatar
Captcha is definitely useful, but people should abstain from Google's reCaptcha imo, it's pure evil. There are many captcha variants out there that should do for a small-medium size blog.
avatar
Latest year I received like thousand spam posts on my blog, and few dozens real posts... now, after including captcha, almost no spam at all... I hate captcha, but it is so useful! Wink

It's probably going to be as successful as their color grading of GBU
avatar
Yes: while the restoration was done by L'Immagine Ritrovata, the colour grading was done by Kino Lorber.
avatar
I assume it’s a green-yellow remaster like the recently released Fistful.
avatar
Anybody knows anything about Kino Lorber's release of For a few dollars more that has just been announced?

sporv, just saw your post on the kill bill at blu, if you are still on spleen they have the untouched dvd and a fanedit explaining the differences

I dont know all that much about machine learning, but from the limited experience I have with it, it needs to be trained on a representative data set. For example I don't think this would work very well as-is, because it's trained on losslessly downsampled images, whereas a lot of the content we might be interested in upsampling is A. compressed and B. already initially sampled at a resolution that is low. Photoshop has a ML-supported upscaling algorithm and it works the best on high quality (low compression) downsampled images. It doesn't work very well on images that are noticeably compressed and low resolution to begin with, it tends to just amplify the compression artifacts like blocking,.
avatar
Yeah, you can use ESRGAN, but it won't work very well with movies unless you get big data set with movie frames and you'll teach your neural network for long time.
avatar
@IcePrick Hahahahahahahahahaha

avatar
You think we might be able to use something like this in upscaling?

My brother got married this year and had a package stolen value around $150 with wedding-related goods that he had to re-order. Angry

Where I live, package stealing has become an epidemic

That is pretty great.

Hope, even if he loves the shorter american cut of Braindead more, that he restores the unrated Version.

@MrBrown those poster prices are insane!

If I am not wrong it should be labeled as Teaser. Well the teaser Poster with the WTC now really starts to count as collectible.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/301568183707 https://www.ebay.com/itm/292812980271

Burgo was part of my childhood, grew up watching him on 'Wheel of Fortune'

https://youtu.be/JGBxYo_tFuA That clip is from "Balls of Steel Australia". Burgo is a well known game-show host in Australia he did "Wheel of Fortune" and "Burgo's Catch Phrase".

I think Skyfall is the 2nd best of Craig's so far (after Casino Royale), but it does have problems. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol was way better IMO. There's a satire of this scene in Johnny English Strikes Again, instead of "were you expecting an exploding pen?" he says "were you expecting a gun ..." https://youtu.be/57Uy9jPxxwI
avatar
avatar
The honest trailer is exactly how I felt when watching it.
avatar
I honestly can't stand Skyfall Smile
avatar
I think the video I'm thinking of this this one, but it's a bit long to check the whole thing https://youtu.be/C7iaw_qc0-A?t=650 At that timestamp though he does mention how Verhoeven saw the character. But he explains it far better from his own POV at another time. He also in that session though talk about how he softened Robocop's voice from the moment that he took off the helmet but it didn't make it into the dubbing! https://youtu.be/71BgjfEsU_E
avatar
@OogieBoogie Completely disagree on the no Depth and Superficial. I don't think it was dumb at all. I could talk for hours about it Smile
avatar
@Valeyard: on the mobile Version, I do not have that "e" button.

One of the worst parts about BR2049 was that they insisted on explaining to the audience everything that had happened since the original film. Another is that the treated replicants as if they’re biological – when it’s very clear in the original that they’re entirely synthetic. It’s a fundamental key theme of Blade Runner. They look and behave like humans, and perhaps can express humanity, perhaps they are sentient, but they are artificial. Robocop has a similar theme which of course the remake didn't understand at all (Robocop is a robot not a human). Peter Weller even said before the film was made that they wouldn't understand that theme and he was right. I can't find the exact video but he says something similar here: https://youtu.be/9uDYcNS25wg?t=492
avatar
No the criticisms for BR2049 are opposite to the original. Viewers didn't understand the original. Everyone understood BR2049 as it was a slavishly formulaic dumbed-down Hollywood blockbuster. It was supposed to be an action film like the original, but it turned out to be a very slow and boring drama.
avatar
Visually and sonically stunning but has zero depth to it, completely superficial
avatar
as a film I thought BR2049 was incredibly flawed, beautiful but flawed, like ridley was jerking off to his own vision. I really didnt like it, as for Mad Max, hands down the dumbest action film i have seen in years, you could write that script on the corner of a napkin, man grunts, grunts some more, drives, grunts, pretty lady that makes man grunt, blah blah blah
avatar
Ive got to chime in and say I loved both BR2049 and Fury Road. Mad Max was pretty special in my eyes. Had Mel been able to return with an old Max it would have been pretty much perfect.
