Isn’t this the same as the 2002 DVD, though? Before the '08 remaster the film was still cropped and had a similar color timing to this on home video.
I can’t believe this is the same source! Wowsers.
Yeah, the comments on that torrent are a riot.
^PM, please. I’d like to be able to confirm this with my own hears, though I’ve no reason to doubt you!
edit: nah, found Z at the usual spots. Clarifying question does this include the original series as well having been released?
Wonder Woman better understands what it means to be a superhero film than any film of its kind since the first Donner Superman. It’s still a modern action romp, but it stirred my emotions in a way none of the modern superhero films have.
GO SEE IT.
Not correct. The average viewer is not obsessed by something silly like a space fantasy and therefore likely smarter than any of us.
Actual LOL
By about 4%. Googling video standards will tell you more–if it’s a UK DVD, it was encoded in PAL.
Lol
(aware of the irony)
On top of the no image-only posts rule, we ought to consider a no one-word only post rule. It’s similar in lack of content and general snarky attitude (granted, snark that might be deserved, but a slog to read through nonetheless.)
I like to think if I ABSOLUTELY had to give an in-universe reason, it’s down to the fact that Leia is Force-sensitive and can remember the strong emotions her mother experienced during childbirth etc. It’s a flimsy excuse, but no weirder than that Newtype stuff I love in Mobile Suit Gundam.
Out-of-universe has already been covered, lazy scriptwriting.
Wait, DS was lying about what he said about his daughter?
Absolutely “Nnnoooooooo!” In a movie that lacks much subtlety, the quiet moment is missed.
Honestly, everything else–if I really had to–I could live with. I even get a good laugh out of how bad the new Krayt Dragon sound is.
Hamill still calls it Star Wars. That makes me happy.
A lot of stuff I’m responsible for in the Preservations/Fan Edits forums from 2007-10 is pretty atrocious. Fake rage capslock, and/or copying Frink’s jokes later on (which just got stale in no small part due to my attempts to copy).
edit: got my idioms mixed up and accidentally blamed Frink for my above. Corrected.
Details please? I mean this sounds great and all, but what are you using? Sources? Etc.
I find it unfortunate that it came to that, but at this point I am not surprised at all.
Goodbye, ya passive-aggressive meatbag. Though I don’t think you ever wronged me I didn’t appreciate how you took your beefs literally everywhere with you.
Unfortunately so. Sped up and truncated. Film4 is the most irritating offender in this respect because they time compress films to death, even omitting entire credit sequences that are relevant to the film, whilst marketing themselves as the dedicated film channel.
Sidenote: you think that’s bad? It’s been (more than) the norm in the USA for over 10 years! It’s harder to find a channel that shows the credits at all (outside of a box in the corner) than one that does.
You really ought plead the 5th more often instead of being so snarky, Fo. There’s a good reason why people seem to disagree with you so frequently.
(namely TPM and ESB).
Very aware of the problems with TPM, but haven’t heard ESB used as an example of where the blu-rays hit their worst. Do you mind elaborating? I’m quite curious. The blue shift is intense and all but I don’t know how it’s any worse than the rest of the OT.
sidenote: I can’t figure out this text editor for shit anymore and it makes me feel hella old.

Thank you for your work! Glad to see someone tackling the Grindhouse version.
I have an odd question. While I agree that your original screenshot is too green, do you have any more examples of the film with that grading? I would love to see that as an alternate take if only because, like it or not, it does immediately seem a bit more modern at first glance that way. Probably wouldn’t be my preferred version of the film, but definitely a unique take that I’d enjoy for curiosity if nothing else.
lol.
OK, seriously, when is

I’ve watched Proton Jon’s Let’s Play of Superman 64. Funny how he still hasn’t finished it.
Late to the party here, but wanted to +1 this. Proton Jon somehow manages to make going through that tedium fun, and adds a few details that make it more than the average letsplay (history of game development, character profiles, etc.)
I bought the game awhile back, and while I don’t regret it, it’s still not even that fun as a morbid curiosity.
