I’d also love to have a somewhat de-tealed version of the two, especially Batman Returns, which from the print stills does have teal in it, but should also lean deep blue, sometimes bordering on slightly purple.

The flat open matte first trailer posted might serve as a good reference (and it features alternate shots and stuff you shouldn’t be seeing).

Also the final theatrical trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOLQfvp4aYI&list=PLDRH8owssg8H0YToSKVBIvg0qWaFAiB9l

So it seems the home releases prior to the 4K were turned a bit too neutral in its grade.

I believe Warner Bros 35mm negative scan was leaked on a russian site (Rutsacker?) and that the master is before the clean-up and regrade. I only saw stills of this, though.

Searched ‘Batman 35mm’ on rutracker. Nothing came up.

I wish there was a way to download this.

I’ve seen faneditors do this but I’m wondering how you’ll do this on OT.com without breaking a rule.

This is not a direct link and thus does not break any rules. All information and instructions will be in a separate Google Doc, which is the only link on this site. This is no different than asking people to email me for the link; the only difference is that it’s automated.

Okay, looking forward to it.

I noticed only four of the movies have subtitles. Is that intentional?

We previously used GASMASK’s 4K release. We’re now using FLUX for the most part. The grain retention in particular is way better, as well as slightly less crushed blacks. I’m pretty sure they’re both pinched from Disney+.

I just found the FLUX one on Usenet

“we’re gotten our hands on quite a better 4K source”

Curious, what is that source?

It’s “Roller”, not “Rollar”

Thanks, idk why i keep making that mistake

The thread title still says “Rollar” FWIW.

Criterion just announced a 4K digital restoration of the international version of the film to be released in November 25th:

Only 1.85:1 aspect ratio though. 😦

@ccfilms

Beat you to it.

Apparently the UHD still has the censored audio with the Bagavad Gita chant removed. Shame, as the release claims to have the “original theatrical 5.1 surround soundtrack remastered from the 35mm magnetic track”. Oh well.

Source?

The film Caddyshack is a masterpiece in comedy! Truly lives up to its reputation and is a must see!

Agreed and Rodney Dangerfield steals the show!

There’s a 1080 upscale of the 480 telecine scan on Archive.org. I’m working on grading it and replacing any missing frames.

Could not find it

You should try out Google.
Google: american graffiti archive
‘American Graffiti (35mm TC Upscaled)’ is the one you want

Actually, rather than wait, maybe you guys can help me find moments where the film gets blocky too. I highly recommend you compare the 1080p and 4K versions together so you can see the difference in change of bitrate, hence the blockiness. It’s also easier for me to start working once I arrive back home on Tuesday.

From what I read the 4K is a “completely botched encoding” and the 1080p is way better. Knowing that I don’t know why you would want to use the 4K at all.

Though 4K was known to be a double of 1080p, so hopefully anyone might barely tell the difference.

With AVC 4K should be four times the bitrate of 1080p.

It would be nice if this thread got back on topic again.

The 1080p 35mm scan has a AVC bitrate of 25mbps FWIW.

I saw Superman and I thought it was a good movie. What kept it from being great was the pacing and a pretty overstuffed plot with too much characters.

Bring on the Fanedits!

It worked for me 😃.

Not sure what I’m looking at in the shots though. Are those the final product?

I tried in Chrome and Firefox with no luck. What’s the deal?
