how do they fuck up another classic show lmao this is like the fourth or fifth one they've done this to https://twitter.com/Thatoneguy64/status/1443961536079450117
They're literally just cropping it wtf. A child can do that
Jeff Bezos only has $200 billion to spend, so probably not yet.
But if it's 4:3 then the hogs won't watch it because its not like the ai generated netflix shows they're used to! :wojak-nooo:
there really is probably some level of truth to this. like i know people (sadly) who call movies in the 90s "old" because of the way it was filmed or how it doesn't have that fresh, extra crispy fake look like all the CGI dominated movies are now. It's kinda sad to dismiss a century of film because it doesn't look brand new.
Yeah I've taken a cinematography course before in university and they teach you all this stuff about painting with the light and using lighting techniques borrowed from painting which turns out so beautiful when its shot on film. So it sucks when you watch all this stuff coming out from Disney and Netflix that just looks like upscaled iphone footage that was shot for efficiency rather than wanting to make something visually interesting or unique to whoever made it.
it's always a race to the bottom with capitalism, obviously no one here is surprised but it's amazing how starved we are in a way for actual good cinematography. Some really good stuff still comes out but you know, the bar is so low that it can be a bit difficult to judge how good it really is sometimes when practically all you see is just churned out garbage. It's so rare for me to be wow'd by new films now, but i know it isn't a lost art, there is still some dope ass people out there trying to make the movie of their dreams and shit.
The colour grading in new film and tv fucking kills me. Everything in Netflix is this gross blue-yellow shite. It's sadly filtering down into all other films as well. And don't get me started on the everything-must-be grey Marvel grading.
I recently watched https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_Never_Sent_(film) and it was absolutely stunning - let alone for a film made 60 years ago
I actually saw this movie maybe 10 years ago, sorta forgot about it! Gonna add it to my queue. Have you by chance seen Ballada o soldate/Ballad of a Soldier? I watched it around the same time and also loved it a lot
Disney+ Simpsons moment. Pirates can't stop winning :picard-excited:
yes but atleast pirates have access to all the versions
apparently even HDTV version has the pothole cropped out (only DVD version has it).
it's ridiculous to crop a show for the HD remaster. at least TNG had the right idea keeping the remaster 4:3.
They did this with Buffy except they got ahold of the original masters and regraded them, which among other things expanded the aspect to reveal boom mics in shot and completely took some evil looking faceless hooded villains up in exposure so now they were just... people wearing hoods
Star Trek TNG just gave the option to see it wider than it should be. For that one the main result is you notice everyone is standing super close to one another while talking with a bunch of empty space
Pre sure they did it with The Wire as well, and it's the only way you can watch it in HD I think.
To make it even better - they just need to fix the dialog too.
"Jerry! Look at that pothole!"
"That's very unusual way of taking about what's troubling you, dearest chum. This voice edit smoothly goes matches mouth so format me it now. You see what I mean?
Kramer is a labor rights icon as he was on strike for 12 years from the bagel shop
Its a pot hole plot hole oh no! :asagiri:
I think it is funnier if you just have to imagine it. My immersion to the world the matrix told us was the best possible is not broken by havibg to imagine there is more to be known that what I can see.
If you pay to watch any series, you deserve it.
