You mean it's hard to take the EU seriously?

Speaking for RicOlie_2: Indeed.

what are you talking about?

Frink is talking about the service that Jay offered recently. For 5¢ Jay will record a post of your choosing, upload the WAV file to a file-hosting website, and PM you the hyperlink.

or not.

I find white on black to be the easiest on my eyes. I'm happy iBooks has that option. :-)

So there's this tick at the cinema who is really, really loving this zombie flick... ;)

I don't see any changed-for-the-SE material in that ad. Am I missing something?

Would it be allowed on Cinemageddon do you think?

 Nope.

 Is it available on Cinematik then?

I plan on uploading it tonight at ~11PM EST.

I'll be damned if this isn't the exact same transfer as the previous US blu-ray.

Damn!!!

Help us, Team Blu! You're our only hope.

It's better to sign up at AMPS to see what the developments are.

 Inquiring as to what 'AMPS' is? Send me a pm if you can't link it here. Thanks.

Check out the hyperlink in my signature. :-)

So where is this going to be uploaded to? 

Good question. I'm willing to upload it to pretty much anywhere as long as D_J gives the go-ahead.

Does anyone here have checksums or the original torrent file from MySpleen? I was able to pull the US theatrical release off of an old HDD and I want to make sure no errors occurred during the transfer. Thanks.

I got this from a member here. I plan to verify my local copy tonight.

Verified.

If you have a mac, it is built into OSX.

Look in Applications/Utilities/DigitalColor Meter.app

Yep, that's the one I'm using currently.

FWIW, you can get the optical assembly unstuck in some Laserdisc players by giving the top of the player a good whack.

sometimes saying the same thing over and over again.

He might have OCD. Some people with OCD compulsively chant until they feel OK enough to break out of the loop.

I'm positive my neighbors have heard me repeat "the stove is off" hundreds of times through the walls of my townhouse; long ago, prior to getting help, it was probably closer to hundreds of times per night. :-/

Almost as if he wanted the GOUT to look terrible on both types of TVs... naaaah LOL.

I think you mean "unwatchable". :-D

While I understand (now) that the LD master was letterboxed, presumably that master was made from some earlier scan.  I'd also imagine that that scan was better resolution than letterboxed 4:3.

I'm pretty sure a fairly direct film->...->D-1 pipeline was used. The storage costs for a digital scan of a film at >NTSC resolution would have been massive in '92/93 and it still would have been on tape.

Most of what you've typed here is a non sequitur. For example, that you were "clearly joking around" is not in dispute, and is irrelevant. Also, I'm not "fired up" about anything; this is a run-of-the-mill argument. Third: you've confused arguing with persuasive writing. I have no interest in the latter.

This isn't enough. You need to breakdown my post Point. By. Point.—non sequiturs included—if you want to earn an A by the end of the semester.

I want a full paper submitted by no later than Monday.

Also, please don't forget to include a discussion on... well... the point of my post. I think you're certainly smart enough to find the STFU hiding somewhere in my litany of non sequitur sentences.

MaximRecoil said:

Your imagination is wildly disconnected from reality, or from anything which logically follows from reality.

I was clearly joking around.

I get that you're all fired up about this, but you've reached an annoying level of pedantry in an effort to support your argument. This level of pedantry does nothing to convince the people with whom you're arguing that your argument has merit and only serves to drive them away. As I'm sure you know, clearing the room of your opponents isn't the same as winning an argument against them.

If you're so sure that your opinion on this matter is the correct one, then walk away and let this thread return to on-topic discussion. There's a lot of wrong information on the WWW and your crusade to remove one item from that set is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

It isn't the DVD's fault if people display it on the wrong type of TV. 

Uh, touché?

Yeah, much as I thought the argument was tedious and rambling, I do kinda want to issue some kind of award for that particular statement.  Talking nonsense is easy, but it takes a certain chutzpah to take it that far.

I can just imagine him approaching and hugging his GOUT DVDs like Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.

"It's not your fault!"

"It's not your fault!"

"It's not your fault!"

plus it gets automatically IVTC'd back to the original 24 full frames per second (technically 24000/1001 FPS [~23.976 FPS]) when played on a progressive scan DVD player (and pretty much all DVD players are capable of progressive scan).

For hard 3:2 pulldown: This is only true if there are no wonky cadence changes; pretty unusual on DVD, but very common on LD.

For soft 3:2 pulldown: I'll concede that NTSC is superior to PAL on DVD.

MaximRecoil said:

PAL loses points simply because you are stuck watching films in fast-forward

I'd take 24->25fps over 3:2 pulldown any day.

Yeah, I know, hence the laughing smiley :-)

Oh, I'm very dense today! :-(
