Probably a gargantuan step up from these, were they even anamorphic?
I hate it when they do that. Doesn’t anyone quality check these color corrections? Their software notices an anomaly (blue tint) and “fixes” it, and nobody notices… I think it happens more often than we think because most of us don’t remember the movie’s original look, e.g. from an old VHS or so
To be clear, all the old versions I know had glorious sunshine. Only the new Blu-ray has this DFN look. In my opinion DFN doesn’t make any sense here. The Stranger arrives, walks into the cantina, has a drink, kills a guy, goes upstairs, enters a room, looks out the window and is even slightly blinded by the sunny day outside. So, to make any sense he’d have to have arrived during the last moments of blue hour in the early morning. Not to mention the DFN looks silly with stark shadows from the sunshine and a bright sky above.
Malombra pre-order starts tonight… adding some details to the database as I am speaking with them to elicit some details on the release
I think I was just looking for encouragement to spend more on blu rays, anyway I’ve caved now and ordered through the database links.
They are full screen. Look pretty good for what they are but I suppose I’ve just gotten used to them.
On Friday I got my copy of Stranger in a Town. Today I watched. Good picture, even very good except for DFN scenes. I almost forgot how good the movie was. Audio interview with Tony Anthony is 37 minutes long.
Anyone have an idea why the two new releases of the stranger films don’t want to work in my player? They are german region B blu rays as usual, never had an issue with any others before, is there something I am missing here?
player is set to the region? others work? one thing I would try is to disconnect your player from the internet if it’s connected. Not sure what other regiona locking mechanisms exist…
