See? It's not crazy to worry about colortiming..it's a big damn deal.

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I remember on one of the EE discs the featurettes documenting the color grading, that alot of time and attention was given in the DI process to the look of 'Fellowship' - here though the bluray's color altering pretty much negates that - this all seems like another freak out to the supposed 'mess up' on the Ten Commandment's bluray release (which was grossly overreacted to).

So, does this mean there is still time to fix any isses prior to the release date of 6/28?? I would think all of the discs are already pressed, packaged, and ready to go. Recall, maybe???

I hope you're not trying to suggest I took Bill's review as gospel. I'm not sure I've ever really thought much of TDB's technical reviews. They're good for certain news scoops.
Just laughing at the demonstrated instant vitriol when Hunt's name is mentioned., It's been over 3 years since HD DVD died - geez. I guess I'll just stay in my house - don't want any blowback from the internet explosion. :) |

See that's my point. If they screwed the color timing because they needed to do a new master of FOTR and wound up messing with the color, then it needs to be fixed. If, however, the color timing was a creative decision, I would think the timing would have been adjusted for all three films. Unfortunately it sounds like the former may be true.

And FYI - Warner does not allow screencaps to be posted. If they find out, they go bonkers. If you buy your own discs, you can do what you want (i.e. DVDBeaver). Of course, some times get away with it...

That's why some people don't trust his reviewers, as he gets paid by the studios for advertisement. Journalistic integrity is thrown at the window (i.e. his BDA Party during the format war most of us talk about).

Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
I'm sorry, but Warner fucked this set up from day one with the announcement they were going to be using nine DVDs for all of the bonus materials rather than BDs. Even if everything is standard definition (8GB a disc max, 72GB maximum total of standard definition content in MPEG-2) they could've used 2-3 BDs instead. That's just cheap and fucking lazy. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
So what's the packaging on this cluster-fuck gonna be like?

For those that havn't seen them yet, here are some examples from AVS forum. I think I read that the issue is only on Fellowship as well.

Well, crap. That's NOT what I saw Tuesday night in the theater.
I distinctly remember the Council scene looking its normal warm, orangy color. I remember the white snow being very white. From the screenshots at blubrew it seems like only the white snow scenes look really bad. Everything else seems either OK or sometimes better (the Saruman/top of Orthanc scene at the screenshot comparison site looked LESS blue / better IMO). The white scenes look kinda terrible though. |

It's three five-disc BD cases in a box with a foldout cover that has a map of Middle-Earth. The cases are black plastic rather than the usual blue. |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Full review from Bluray.com. Sounds good to me. Glad I preordered this when B&N had their 50% sale

No, no. I'm was commenting on your jest. And after all this, yeah, when you are on a studios payroll, it's questionable. HDD does not receive money directly from the studios to advertise. Nor do most websites. I don't believe DVDTalk does (at least, maybe not anymore since IB Brands owns them). I'm sure Supr could comment.

Which means Bill was wrong and either didn't review the disc properly (i.e. just skimmed through) or he was doing something else. I'll have to check out that B-R-.com thread. Should be great.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Lo.../12237/#Review Haven't been happy with the screenshots I've seen so far. Why do they look so much darker? |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
Personally, as a whole, I think the new transfer looks fantastic. The color looks just a tad wonky in a couple of the shots, but overall I think it looks great. I'm surprised by how bright and washed out the old transfer looks to me now. Guess we'll see once I see the actual disc for myself...
EDIT: Maybe it's just personal preference, but I think the EE version looks much improved in this shot. http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/59855 |
Re: Lord of the Rings Extended Edition out in 2011
TT and RoTK look solid. I can't tell much from the caps. it's FoTR where shit gets crazy...

I do not know the answer to this. But if it does turn out that the new colors are Jackson's doing, this wouldn't be the first time a filmmaker has made questionable decisions regarding the way his movie should be presented. |
