Film grain is a flaw of the format and needs to be eliminated

>cutting the top and bottom off movies
What?

Assuming this Blu-ray comparison is accurate, it's actually worse than the DVD (similarly processed frame added to comparison).

I've always wondered how the fuck widescreen/standard 4:3 conversions work. How the hell do you show more on the left/right sides of a frame by cutting off the top and bottom? my TV screen didn't get wider

The right looks better. Look at all that ugly film flaw on the left.

Disgusting.

>my TV screen didn't get wider
films are made for cinemas, not pathetic 16:9 TV screens

the "film" was shot on early trash digital cameras

I meant as a kid, my regular ass 24 inch TV, i was confused by the black bars on the top and bottom of austin powers the spy who shagged me or whatever, and was told that it was so you could see more on the sides

What game?

dummy

jesus christ are you 12?

The black bars on the top and bottom are because your 16:9 TV is not the same frame as a 2.39:1 film. If you watch a 4:3 film then you would have black bars on the left and right, but that is not "cut" from the film, but just that your 16:9 TV is not of the same from as the film.
Film are made for cinemas, TV shows for TV.

Who did it best?

Are you 12? TVs didn't used to be widescreen, they were square.

Why do re-releases only ever change the most shallow of things, like color graining or aspect ratios?
It's never anything about the picture that's diferent

Meanwhile one song by one artist gets rereleased and it has different mixing, diferent length etc

1986

No shit retard. Nobody has a 4:3 TV anymore, certainly not you, so why mention it.

93

93 looks soulful

>waifu2x

Which is closer to the Itunes version?

Reminds me of the same retards that make "HD TEXTURES FOR SKYRIM" where it's literally just more grain.

>blu-ray
more like blurry

93 followed by 13, then 96.

I sometimes don't watch films if they were shot digitally. I go out of my way to see movies shot on film in the theater. I like it, it keeps the picture alive and it's not the same as "noise"

are you one of those people who listens to old scratched dusty vinyls?

idk how you can delude yourself into thinking this when 2013 is objectively superior

if digital is good enough for deakins its good enough for you

it crops out like 20% o the image

>i want every movie extra sharp, bright, and eye-burning! just like disney used to make!

this

i only know vinyl sounds different because it makes my dog really upset

Do you really want every movie to be like the Star Wars Special Editions?

No, I want them to be like later editions of books, or songs.

93 or 02, the color is so off in the other ones. Grass and greenery has a set color, thats not it.

left has the most soul

Its indicative of a certain time, just like black and white movies. You can enhance them for your own pleasure but there is no reason to remove a film from its natural creation.

It's the most accurate to the original 35mm version (and probably even more so before it was recompressed to make the comparison pic). Here's a same DVD screenshot with more tasteful upscaling.

I'm gonna throw up.

Left looks cartoony. fake even.

Removing film grain is like adding neon lighting to a gorgeous sunset.

Predator is notoriously grainy, and has that slightly dumbtarded 80s grain. Still better than a rollingshuttered n smoothed to shit Red tho

It does look fake. When I first saw that comparison pic it seemed like a CGI to real comparison, but no. I think the official Lucas SW BRs took out the grain, though I'm not sure since I tend not to watch those versions.

Blu-Ray is better.

looks like he took the call

Surprisingly, 2013 looks the best.

2002 with its definition and true color.

2002 has the most detail. 2013 would win if they hadn't cropped it.

This is a good one

at this point it depends entirely on how much color you like in your films.

>soulless/soul

making me actually want to go buy predator on bluray

>t. brainlet who doesn't know shit about dynamic range and color science

holy fuck that 2010 version is bad
like someone just slapped a surface blur filter on it

why do they do this? Do some pajeets in a stinky studio make this shit

All of them since I assume they all sold a shitload.
Just rerelease an ""update"" every couple of years and rake in the cash.

same

normies don't want grain or black bars, so you get DNR and cropped picture.

'81, easily. The rest are blown out or distorted.

Reading comprehension.

Looks better with some fake grain.

I always thought this shit was meaningless, until I watched Moneyball the other day. Holy fuck that movie just looks so good I wanted to fuck my screen. Looked it up and it was shot on film. Film is way better.

In both cases '02 is the best one. Not too bright or blown out, good color, not cropped.

who gives a shit retard

>cropped picture
All three shots are cropped by the makers of the comparison pic.

Is this bait?

itunes is 4:3, the bluray is 16:9 with the bottom and top of the picture cropped out. similar thing has happened in all of these, the 2013 pic is shorter.
