Because the Kill Bill & Gangs/NY transfers were so similar in their standard counterparts, anyone else dreading that Disney will pass of the same EE garbage for the Kill Bill films that affected Gangs.....?

 

[shadowrage]

I think that all of their future catalogues will look like GONY. I mean look at the stuff that they've released before that...The Rock, Pearl Harbor, Narnia, POTC 1/2.


yeah I'm sure it's not an isolated incident and the trend will continue.

It's not like GONY hasn't looked that bad before.

Why don't we wait for Sept. There will probably be some EE.

Haha funny poll! How about the third option everyone really wants, "same EE but the colors will look better than DVD so I'm buying!"

The Kill Bill DVDs looked bad?

 

[Hector.B]

Since when does one bad release constitute a "trend"?

If you've seen any of the HDTV broadcasts you'd know there isn't anything to worry about...

I thought BBC HD's broadcasts of Kill Bill 1&2 were a little disappointing.

Both Kill Bills went thru DIs and don't have the same EE and DNR problems Gangs has. Of course Disney could always add that in as a bonus.

The OAR broadcasts of Kill Bill were fine. They looked pretty good. Topic is bordering on ridiculous.

I guess you didn't watch the same Kill Bill DVDs that I did. The Kill Bill DVDs suffered the same problems as Gangs of New York, Cold Mountain, Curse of the Black Pearl, and countless other Disney live action DVDs from that time period.

Gangs of New York (from the pics I've seen) is one of the rare instances where I believe a person should have the right to return a movie for a refund... Not trying to get into an ethical debate at all... just saying, it looks very bad. Here's hoping it's not a trend... but I agree with Josh that some of those DVDs from that time period looked bad.

Those are the lousy SD downconversions which are filtered, EEed, and pretty much FUBAR. I was referring to the HD versions of Kill Bill 1 & 2 which have been shown in various OAR, open matte, mpeg-2, and h.264 incarnations on broadcast HD channels:

Exactly, it could have EE and still be an improvement over the DVD.

Looks like reference quality already.

Is that Sky as in from the Sky Movies HD version? If so then that totally blows away BBC HD's version!

You assume that the DVD comes from the same master as those broadcasts and that the extra processing was applied afterwards. I doubt that's the case. There are most likely different HD masters in circulation.


Whether Disney will have the sense to track down the good master for the Blu-ray or just recycle their DVD master is anyone's guess.

 

[joerod]

I hope they don't screw these up!

 

[Tom Monahan]

I have these two films recorded on HD DVHS. They both look very good with just a tiny bit of EE on my 45x108 screen with a 10ft viewing distance. I will be SHOCKED if the don't look really good on Blu-Ray. I was able two get them preordered on Amazon for $37.99 so a purchase is a no brainer for me.

 

[JaylisJayP]

Eh, people get all dramatic about EE....nobody outside of these forums knows anything about it. Your voice is small and always will be.


I'll be buying both these movies come release regardless.


Why? Hmmm....I don't know, they're good movies?

The 35mm prints I saw had DNR artiffacts. Not a lot but some. The HD might have too, or not. We'll have to wait and see.
