And I have no idea what the Betamax comment is about. Who’s doing that?
Hyperbolic statement, was Hyperbolic.

Barely hyperbolic. It’s the 25 year-old laserdiscs they’d put in instead of the bluray. As I’ve said for the millionth (hyperbolic) time, I’m not talking about Star Wars. I’m talking about films with fine, if not great, blu rays that are shit on by people who are suddenly experts on color correction that have a strange nostalgic attachment to laserdiscs.

I was referring specifically to the “Betamax” bit. I know you’re not being hyperbolic about the silly preference for LaserDiscs; I even remember the post you’re referring to.

I meant that the betamax thing was barely hyperbolic.

Nah man the 2011 colors are pretty much shit.
Yeah I’ve never actually seen anybody complain about them outside of this forum besides maybe fanedit.org. I personally don’t like despecialized colors (everything else about it is amazing), and yes 2.7 is better but I’m not going to say it’s shit. The 2011 colors bother me in a few places, but I would say less than 5 places.

Yeah, the Betamax thing was hyperbole. I’ve never seen anyone actually say that. I was just riffing on the “older transfers are clearly superior because of the colars” mentality.

LOL.
Shifting this from the emotional support thread to here:
Fuck Indiana. The BMV decided to wait a week to charge my account for my plate renewal (which I assumed had gone through since I got my sticker on Friday), so now my account is overdrawn.
And I just got home from work to find my internet connection is inexplicably shut off. All paid for, haven’t downloaded anything that would get me in trouble lately, etc.
Ugh.

good thing cold germs don’t travel through the internet. If they did, I’d be talking to the mods about giving you a temp ban.

Thanks for not being a dick about somebody else’s personal preference, we have enough of that around here anyway.

I agree some folks take it too far. There are instances where well preserved 35mm theatrical prints prove some modern video masters are cocked up. Old home video masters were optomized for crappy analog televisions and as much as I love Laserdiscs, about the only thing that they’re good for as a reference these days are original theatrical sound mixes.

That’s the general attitude with color correction for some reason. I lose respect for anyone that obsesses over it, no matter what.

Well I’m not going nearly that far to say I’ve lost respect for Dom just because of that comment, but it was sortof a dick thing to say and pretty snobby, but then again he might have just been mocking the other people who state their own opinions as facts around here so I’m not gonna ruffle his pedigoats about it.

I’m being slightly exaggerative. Maybe it doesn’t make me lose respect, it just grinds my gears.

Oh wait you actually thought I was being a dick? Nah man, saying your opinion is wrong isn’t me being dickish, just me being silly. Most people when they’re dicks about stuff like that they don’t say “but that’s okay,” they usually question your mental capacity or something.
Personally I can’t watch the blu-ray anymore without thinking how bad it looks, but that doesn’t mean I think people who don’t think that are stupid.
I also don’t mind the FOTR extended blu-ray or the Aliens blu-ray. So I’m not really that anal about it, though I do get it.

I understand. I’ve probably just been reading too many posts from ImpScum lately.

I still have a cold. It’s degraded to a pretty nasty cough.
In other news, an annoying insect keeps appearing on my computer screen, even after I continually push it away.

Alright, I’d like to bitch about facebook.
I guess I am stupid. I tried make post in facebook simular to my 911 tribute in the politics thread. The thing is I don’t see anyway for adding photos from the net to posts there. You can add posts from your computer, I don’t see was to add pics from the net. The best I could do was post the links. I can’t find a way to get the pics to display in the post itself. I tried to find help for this from facebook’s help area. I failed. I guess I am really stupid. So I decided to post a question there about it. There doesn’t seem to be an appropriate topic/subtopic to post the question under. By this time, I was little to pissed off really search for one. So posted the question probably were it doesn’t belong in the hopes that someone can get to the right area and I can get help. This shouldn’t be this difficult.
Fuck you Facebook
