Oh, jeebus...this is not going to be another patented, "Lukpac never met an argument he didn't want to challenge" routine, okay? I've been reading you since the IMWAN days. You are tenacious, persistent and a treasure trove of facts. One thing you will never. EVER be an expert on, is MY OWN opinion. I don't care how many psychologists you have to employ to read every post of mine in order to prove you're right, I don't care if you even track down my high school counselor and post her on YouTube in testimony. Back off, and finally exhibit some courtesy, mkay? Do not make this thread another bickerfest just because I have a position you do not share.
Just to be clear: you responded to me. Post #683, that's yours, right? All I did was make an observation. That's not bickering, that's participating in a discussion, on a discussion forum. Three people responded. That's not bickering. That's doing what we're here for. "Strawman", and "You first, dude". That's bickering, and we don't need to pursue this line of discussion any further if you're sincere about not bickering.
An intentionally inflammatory “observation”. And here you are sticking around to snark at anyone and everyone who dares roll their eyes at it. There is no substantive discussion to be generated from your ridiculous and immature caricature.
Have you ever wondered why this always happens to you, in every thread you participate in here? With practically anybody who isn't ignoring you already?
I was just blocked from the Get Back thread in the music forum for posting about how the transfer looks like garbage. I hope the members in that thread enjoy their DNR mess. If you can't see the difference here then good for you.
He prides himself on just that so no surprise there. That would require self-awareness and self-reflection, something I have yet to see from him.
If you think you were blocked unfairly, take it directly to one of the mods/Gorts, instead of whining about it here. BTW, you could have done anything to those two images you posted to serve your "argument," whatever it is.
Are you implying the poster in question did such a thing or just stating a generality? Again, for comparison to the 1+ Blu-ray version of footage from Let It Be/Get Back:
Yeah, I took the time and effort to download a program to then manipulate an image from a movie to prove a point.
I can easily see the difference, but I don’t think the original footage looks more natural. Yes, it definitely has film grain and is a much truer representation of what is captured on the celluloid. But notice how the grain gives everything a slightly jagged quality? (Skin looks different from person to person, so look at the frames of John’s glasses, which in real life would be smooth and rounded - not jagged.) I guess what I am saying is that you’re correct that the original footage is truer to the actual film but I think the grain removal in the Disney footage makes the image truer to real life, where film grain doesn’t exist. Yes, grain removal can be overdone to the point where faces look waxy, which is not how they look in real life. Personally, I don’t think Jackson went overboard with the grain removal, but I realize that’s subjective.
John looks like he's made of plastic in the image above! He also looks awfully tan for an Englishman filmed in the middle of winter!
you should've compared the 1+ restoration, the left video looks like it was sourced from beatles antology dvd
I mean, you can have your opinion on the direction of the movie as there is no such thing as a fact that one film is good. Each person views it differently. But when the quality is in question then your opinion can be considered wrong.
Don't like it, don't buy it, don't watch it. Without Jackson, Get Back probably wouldn't exist at all. Nothing to complain about then, aside from all the remixes, the last round of stereo Beatles, and pretty much everything sanctioned by Paul, Ringo, and the estates of John and George over the last 20 years, with the possible exception of the mono boxes.
