All right, I'll try and explain using examples. But I don't think I've seen it upwards of two years.

-Rachel's death. I get the point of having it in the middle of the film, but the plot thread of the pain this causes Baleman (I'm TMing that) kind of disappears until Caine burns the letter.

-Every single moment in the Penthouse, as I said before, left me asking "is it over yet?" Not in a sense that they're bad scenes, but more that each one felt like it could have been a closing shot.

Sorry for jumping the gun on you there earlier, Warb.

I guess I have a skewed perception because my definitive Batman will always be the Animated Series.

Still miss the ride.  My one true BTTF childhood soft spot...

It's just not the same, man.  I own the DVD with it, but watching it without the motion simulator would ruin any and all memory I have of it so I've chosen not to do a rewatch.

^I disagree.  I like Part 2... I mean it's not as good as the first movie, but it's by no means bad.  At least, I didn't think so.  It's the same stellar cast, with some really cool future stuff.  I'll admit that going back to the 50s was a bit of a cop-out, but I still enjoyed those scenes.

It doesn't have that feel-good nature that part 1 does, though.  Every time I feel bad about myself, I say "at least I'm not old George McFly!"  Pretty effective actually.

EEEK!  I was thinking of the talk show host and just said the wrong Williams Street revival.  If I had one, I would turn in my Hanna-Barbera fanclub membership card out of shame right now.

I've yet to see Ghostbusters II and I'm not really sure if I should.  The first is a classic, and I really wouldn't mind more of the same - which appears to be the biggest complaint regrading the sequel - but I'll probably cave one day.

My friend's father actually has a list of movies he's never to see.  It's not required, of course, but said friend seems ok with following it. His father puts Ghostbusters 2 in the same vein as Rocky V.... I understand the latter at least.  For that matter, I'm not sure why BttF pt 3 is on that list. 

Bottom line, I find the concept fascinating and I'm probably going to do the same with my kids. haha

Congrats on Birdman, Anchorhead.

I LOVE GARGOYLES! 

Bump.  Just curious to see if anyone has taken a stab at color correcting the Sleeping Beauty blu-ray.  The quality in of itself is supposed to be phenomenal, but the color pallet not as much.  I'd love to see the movie looking as pristine as possible while also maintaining the original color scheme.  

The main reason I'd be curious as to this rather than watching the previous DVD is the aspect ratio.

Fig nuts!

^It may also be a quality issue.  Most Star Wars clips on youtube I can think of are at 360p or so.  Adywan's clips, in contrast, usually give us the option to watch in 720 or 1080p according to youtube's definition scale (and thank goodness for that!).  Plus, their retroactive copyright sweeps are probably less efficient than whatever system gets new videos right on the spot.

I'm sorry.  I can't make this on-topic, but this resemblance is too uncanny to go unnoticed.

Ultimately this is your decision, but I thought that the green tint worked well on your Star Wars shot but not ESB.  I'd be that's me getting into subjective tastes, so take it as you will.

I saw a documentary about the history of toy boats once. Turns out there were toy Titanics being made and sold after the sinking. I once almost bought a 1997 toy that was paired with a Titanic book. Flip a switch on the bottom and it breaks up and sinks. IIRC, it was marketed as an educational toy. They fetch a lot on Ebay now.

Oh!  I think I got one of those when the traveling Titanic exhibit was in Los Angeles upwards of 8-10 years ago.  I didn't know they were rare...

It looks good!  I like how your color changes seem a bit more subdued than some of the others I've seen; many of them tend to, I think, oversaturate it a bit (whether it's the original look or not).  I kind of wish you would do your more recent corrections on an AVCHD as well but I've got a PS3 anyway, so upscaled SD doesn't look so bad.

I think the projector noise might be overkill, but giving him more droid-esque eyes was certainly a wise choice.  I'll still eagerly await the results regardless of your choice.

because why not

My money's on Topher Grace, but... meh.  What do I know?

^This.  Why raise an objection to it now?

Saw this in a second run theater, in which the 35mm print looked great. (Save for the CGI which stuck out like a sore thumb.) Much better than any digital presentation around. And what's with the whole, "we shot 5 minutes in IMAX" gag? Just swallow the cost and do the whole thing!

To be fair didn't The Dark Knight do that too?

You know, we could just enjoy this one and decide the next one on the month we'd actually use it. :P (this isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I changed my opinion...)

see John Carter.

it's Dayv.  I used ot make that mistake all the time...

Mothra and Bingo raise good points.  I'll have to get thinking about something else, if I'm to have the success DoubleKO did...
