More than Biddle on Aliens, I'd love to know how Russell Carpenter (True Lies) feels about what's been done on this movie. To a lesser extent, there's also Mikael Salomon for The Abyss. Which is also part of what you tackle here and my issues with reducing the idea of protecting "oeuvres" from...

I might be wrong, but when reading this mission's statement, I always thought the idea was to prevent movies to be altered/revised, in particular without referents' (director, DP, etc) approval, not to allow alterations providing they're coming from a said-referent. That the moral right is not...

Not sure if facial hair or leper.

There has been, however, an ongoing underlying issue with some labs having such an intense color-signature, applied on so many of their works in a systemic manner, that it becomes intrusive in an obviously inaccurate way (because how many movies actually share such a close look ?). That's what...

As already explained before, the voice is AI generated because the guy is French (see here - but I also pics of his Dolby/Pathé/Hiventy conference at Lyon in 2023 : ) and didn't like how he sounded in English. I understand feeling the intro is overselling it when it starts by rehashing public...

And I'm fairly certain that's the kind of look Robert had in mind when saying what he'd take over what's being offered. ;) My precision was more about how misusing the proper term shouldn't cloud what even such a "recent" movie could gain from newly (and properly) performed work. For instance...

The grainy remaster, then. ;)

Thanks for the example. Surprised by it, as there was nothing to me setting the movie's remaster look aside (looks like a 4K 35mm-sourced master to me, like plenty others), but thanks anyway. I thought that might the case for it, and that's usually the best argument (to me) there could be, but...

None of this is being overlooked by those unhappy with the results. We're just unhappy with the results, because it's perceived to be a problem that James Cameron believes movies shot on 35mm to require such intrusive artificial treatments to look good, in a world where hundreds of...

Oh yes, my bad, in this respect, that's EXACTLY what HT sites are providing. There are enough very good remasters/restorations getting released to fill 5 times one's free time anyway. I still think there is some leeway, and in a sense, the Patton flashback story tends to credit this. But it's...

He wrote that the original Gangs of New York disc was "Extremely Highly NOT Recommended" and suggested for a re-call, while he wrote he "absolutely" liked the 2008 Patton disc and recommended it "without a doubt". If I had a French address to post my complaints to Fox, I'd done so, but by email...

Which is a shame because only a minority of it is about Patton. :) I read your remarks and their chronology then, and sincerely, all the best to those here who acknowledged the shortcomings of this presentation and did what they could to have them alleviated later on. You were writing earlier...

See, that's where this might not be willingly hyperbolic but actually is. There are several encoding houses who do stellar works on a routine basis and whose work I can only command (Fidelity in Motion are famous for that, but they're not the only one), and then, there's whoever Studio Canal are...

It's the AI-type upscale that generates those. It basically tries to turn noise into signal on select part of the frame, which is why it gives such a recognizable type of picture, which you wouldn't get if only using traditionnal sharpening and grain management filters. It's like non-optimal...

There's a distinction to be had between "no HDR" and "limited use of HDR", as it can make technical and/or aesthetical sense to be in the 2nd category. However, if these heat maps are accurate, it'd fit Aliens remaster re-using the 2010 2K master and only being able to do a fraction of what HDR...

You haven't answered the question.😉
