So it was worse than Rosa?

Much.

I got to “Sub Rosa” last time on my TNG watch, and its definitely a callback to the first season quality. Holy crap.

Ah sorry, didn’t catch that.

Quite alright. I got Adywan’s clean-up, it looks fantastic!

I can confirm that the streaming version has the IMAX scene intact (aside from the weirdly edited shots already pointed out).

Yeah, I confirmed that myself a couple posts after that.

Film IMAX was full 1.44:1 the entire sequence. I’m not sure how they cropped those shots, but they looked just fine.

Are you sure this sequence was 1.44:1 in the IMAX version in the theater? I thought it looked more like 16:9 when I saw it. I don’t remember the height difference being so drastic.

I saw it on 15 perf 70mm film, which was 1.44:1. The digital “IMAX” screens are 1.9:1, which is what most people saw it in. And the entire Falcon Escape sequence filled the entire screen. Either the shots Ady points out are mistakes made in the STARZ conversion and weren’t cropped in theaters or they cropped it into the sequence and did enough digital trickery that people didn’t notice a drastic drop in quality in those shots.

However, when I saw it like that, the rest of the 35mm footage was noticeably worse than the IMAX, like even that something went wrong in the conversion.

You have to wonder if the IMAX scenes were cropped from 4:3 to 16:9 in height like the non-IMAX scenes were cropped down to 16:9 in width. That means some is still missing. From a completist point of view, this is fascinating, but with this being the 7th installment and all the others not being shot in this format, not to mention that the entire movie wasn’t shot in this format, it isn’t something I am going to worry about.

The IMAX scenes on the STARZ stream are cropped vertically from 1.44:1 to 1.78:1, while the rest of the movie is cropped horizontally from 2.39:1 to 1.78:1. We are indeed still missing visual information, but this comes CLOSE to recreating the 1.9:1 of the Digital IMAX presentation.

TFA is a piece of shit movie that only little girls who are raised by a prick would love while I know many anime that are masterpieces. It also works that way.

I don’t appreciate being called a little girl or my dad a prick.

Finally picked Daredevil Season 2 back up. Of course, I was only an episode away from it getting better. Most of it ended up working in the end. I really just wanted to catch up for Luke Cage Friday.

Film IMAX was full 1.44:1 the entire sequence. I’m not sure how they cropped those shots, but they looked just fine.

Yeah, I’d love a post-ROTJ series.

As do I (even though I would prefer a novel/s) but please use a different art style Disney.

Dear Disney: Please stop using the Disney art style. Love, a “fan”

I did a comparison of the Blu, DVD, and 70mm film cell.

Confirmed that the rest of the movie is cropped to 16:9, but the IMAX sequence is expanded.

Google killing Picasa is killing me. I’m trying to host all of my Visual Comparisons outside of my personal account, and I just don’t have the same functionality in Google Photos. I love Photos for my personal use, but it doesn’t work the way I need to share them to the public without it wanting the user to join the album or add the pictures to their personal account.

Is it possible the STARZ streaming version also has the scenes expanded?

I never got the impression Sybok was nuts, just deluded and misled.

And yeah, the outfit they went to for the FX should never have been allowed near a Trek movie. Can’t recall if ILM was swamped or Paramount didn’t want to pony up.

ILM was swamped with Last Crusade and Ghostbusters II.

The Phantom Menace also assumes you like to watch bad movies.

The question is, do you want to explain to your kids what trade disputes and senate meetings are about, or do you want the movie to actually be a good movie?

O

We’re not taking suggestions for RotJR at this time. Like the shots that were fired before, other edits are changing things like this already.

That’s what I’m hoping for, Tob, that’s what I’m hoping for. Next stop: vampires and Blade?

My argument would be that A New Hope actually explains the universe and the Force and Jedi, while Phantom Menace just assumes you’ve seen the originals.

Watched the first episode of “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD: Ghost Rider”. So far it looks like they’re not holding back on the Rider mythos. I’m sure eventually they’ll bail out and explain it away by it being aliens or something, but so far the devil lives inside a man whose head catches on fire and burns people’s souls.

Am I to take it that the text of the ROTJ Revisited crawl will remain unaltered?

Looks like we’re not getting any crazy plot restructuring like some other edits, no.

That’s transphobic.

It would have worked better if you left more of his quote where he incorrectly said “disgusted by a normal sex.”

It doesn’t matter if you’re disgusted by it. The notion of a normal sex is transphobic. I wouldn’t expect you to understand, though.

What?

I didn’t say I was disgusted. Dropping the “a” from “a normal sex” as you did obscures the joke you made. “Normal sex” and “a normal sex” are two different things.

The LGBTQI@ community doesn’t need you to force your social constructs upon them.

Oh good you’re playing games in every thread instead of just Politics. Thanks so much.

If you’re referring to the “@”, it’s in the acronym because they love Twitter.

You should listen to yourself more often.

By the way, we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that Tyr married a pillow.

Is that a normal sex? I wouldn’t know.

No such thing.
