Late for Life Day, but early for Turkey Day; Gormaanda Hybrid V2 is up on MySpleen.
Thanks for this. I downloaded it a few days ago; looks like a "quality" release.

I should clarify that that was a joke, for those who need that sort of clarification.
Why thank you, that was very thoughtful of you. =P
While we're on the subject, here's one of my favorite reviewer's reaction.

That looks so much better to me. I hope the real movie looks like that.
Would you mind posting your color correction, Tobar? I'd like to see another attempt at giving it a more natural look.

Is no movie safe from this phenomenon?
Please tell me you didn't sit there fuming about colour tints on a teaser trailer, for a film that's over one year away, and go to the effort of making a poster about it?! Streuth.....
I think those shots all look great grouped together. Every shot in virtually every film ever made will have a tint of some description... All that matters is the end result in the final film.
I just noticed it, and having nothing better to do, decided to point it out to other people. It took about 2 minutes, so not much effort.
This is something that has plagued a lot of films, so I was disappointed in seeing it in this film.

Ok, but who's on first base?
Yes.I don't know.
No, I don't know is on third base, who's on first base.

Honestly, I was never really bothered by the lens flares. I don't really want TFA to be full of them, but I imagine they'll be toned down a bit compared to J.J.'s Star Trek movies.
The one thing I want is for it to at least maintain some sort of continuity with the OT, visually. The last thing I want is for it to have shaky cam, lens flares, and orange and teal color grade.
EDIT: Ninja'd. I agree with emanswfan.
I dunno, I think I would be able to enjoy a 70mm print for quite awhile, too.
I thought he was going for 96fps? That would allow for an easy 24fps conversion.

Am I really seeing people complain about a teaser trailer that is "only" 88 seconds long? It's a teaser!
nope. since star trek has 10 minute trailer, that set the new bar. accept nothing less.
now, if the 88 second ends with c3P0 announcing the OOT on blu-ray, then it'll make up for it.
I thought that was just the first ten minutes of the movie, and only if you went to an IMAX venue?
Yes, that was my impression as well.

Or it's Irvin Kershner, the director of the film.
Look up over your head, there's a joke flying by. :p

D'oh, where'd it go? I missed it.

30 theatres in North America and the rest of the world can go **** themselves. Nothing out of the ordinary there ;-)
But you others do get to see the actual film before us US people though.
Hardly what I would say a fair trade.
Woaah, that was him? How do you know that?

They always have, they just haven't released them to the public. Keep in mind, they are plagued by DVNR.
And if it is to be believed, the original negs are conformed to the '97 SEs.

Crap! Yanked already. Did someone grab it? Or at least take shots?
What do you mean? I can still see it.

A shame he got rid of most of his gibberish before then.

I'm not a big fan of the title. One thing I liked about the OT titles was they had a little bit of a sense of obscurity to them if you haven't seen them before. With the "Force Awakens" there's nothing to learn from it. When I heard "A New Hope" for the first time, I always kind of wondered what that meant. "TESB" is obviously not very obscure, but if you know nothing about Star Wars before going in to see it, it is kind of obscure. Same with ROTJ and even TPM, AOTC, & ROTS. Of course most people didn't seem to like AOTC, & ROTS titles. I agree they were bad and they don't even make much logical sense compared to the movies.
How are you not banned yet?
I stand corrected.
Well, now that he's banned, mind telling us whose sock it was?

35mm release prints were notoriously inconsistent from one print to the next and even from the showing of a print to the next showing of the same print!
It is one of the reasons(if not the main reason) why they have been phased out.
Francis Ford Coppola admitted h could not remember what the original Godfather looked like......who can blame Lucas for being the same with Star Wars.
Despite the inconsistencies you claim, I'd take that any day to the consistently messed-up colors of the BD.
Because the colours were so consistent on the laserdisc or on the VHS tapes?!
I was referring to 35mm.
So you have your own personal un-faded 35mm print from which you can reference whether the blu ray is true to it....or not?
No, but from this : http://savestarwars.com/technicoloribscreening.html
It is clear that the BD colors are incorrect, and because of Harmy's and Negative -1's efforts, I soon won't need my own print.
What exactly are you arguing about? All I was saying is that the Blu-ray and 04 DVD colors are incorrect based on every other source, and I prefer a presentation as close to the original theatrical print as possible. So, you prefer the BD, bully for you.
