As others have said, primarily it's the "one account per user" rule. When Team first joined, I thought it was a different person, but Neg1's idiosyncratic posting (and that some of the IP addresses match) make it clear that he is now using Team's account.

So... he lied about being far removed from the project then? This just gets weirder and weirder. You'd think if he was trying to be on the low, he'd at least cut the iconic posting style. I'm so confused.

Seems there's some serious artifacts akin to edge enhancement on some of their more recent blu-ray titles in the catalog. Thoughts? Is this as bad as it looks? Keep in mind the examples have of course been enlarged to highlight the problem, but apparently it's all over the new Aladdin blu.

Must have missed that. All I can say is when I recall seeing it in theaters the main offenders of the cleaned-up castle, ie the ones you can spot right away, were restored to their original look.

Did anything ever come of the 2D downscale project?

I just use Toast, but I had to *eh-hem* find it first. Keep in mind, of course, you need a player that's capable of reading the AVCHD format to even make it worth your while.

- Dan Curry's team was shooting models in 30fps, their movement looks weird in 24fps

AHA! I always KNEW there was something weird about the SFX shots in TNG. The video framerate definitely made me think TNG went CG like DS9 did eventually.

Speaking of, halfway through season six. I'll put it this way on seasons 1-3: I genuinely forgot Sisko had hair at one point. Other than "The Search" I would recomment to friends they skip all 3 if not for plot essentials

Those episodes are still part of the cable packages aren't they? I know that at least one current torrent collections over at TPB includes them as rips from Boomerang... complete with the original, non-mangled opening.

Um... well then it's a good thing that's clearly not the master going to Blu? I don't know what to tell you. I'm putting the quality on this one down to jpg compression.

re: Mary Poppins -- it's been my experience that Disney's clean-up is only extreme with their animated features. Pete's Dragon featured minimal DNR as well as I recall.

As for TLM, well I hope those are mistakes but I wouldn't be surprised if they were intentional. I can't help but laugh at people who are calling these SE-level changes, though; for all we know, these could be the result of this remaster being sourced from a different print. Even SW pre-new crawl had variations here and there, after all.

Not online since march 22nd. Normally I wouldn't bat an eye as Trooperman disappears from time to time, but given this post I have to wonder if he might have taken his own warnings a little too seriously if you get my meaning.

I second the recommendation for Red Dead Redemption. Fantastic game.

Though I have to disagree on L.A. Noire. Love that game. Insanely detailed recreation of 1947 Los Angeles. The attention to detail is insane and the size of the map is very impressive. And pile on top of that classic film noir storytelling and baby, you got a stew goin'.

I can second the thoughts on attention to detail. The map is nearly 100% accurate... I recognize some things on the map from today, like old theater marquis (though the businesses below them are obviously no longer movie palaces.)

It was fun but I didn't finish it. Happens a lot to me, actually.

So... you choose to update your facebook page and not mention the fact that you're never releasing this there because? I mean, I suppose I respect the decision, but the terseness of your message leaves me thinking this was a sudden choice. A little more class/thought put into your post here would go a long way.

^Well she's gone on record saying that she has a copy she obtained for some movie night marathon-type deal she did with some friends. I don't recall if she got it from George himself, though.

I hate to be that guy, but remember this stuff about models and actual locations was touted as a triumphant homage to the original films for Crystal Skull as well... at least I know the matte paintings were. That didn't really happen. This sounds like a good PR spin, especially given that she says they're only "looking" at these options right now. Don't be surprised if the movie is mostly CG effects; I won't complain, but I know some people will

Check out Daisuki. I think they're upping a new episode each week. Yes, that means it'll be a slow pace - and you've probably seen what they have so far - but it's got your dragonbox footage (except for episode one... which is from the blu-rays for some reason.)
