Er det på nogen måde muligt at købe LOTR EE BDs uden de ekstra DVDer, som jo strengt taget bare er en genudgivelse af materiale, som jeg allerede har købt tidligere?
Mon ikke der kommer en skrabet udgave, som der gjorde på dvd? Der gik dog nogle år, før den kom og prismæssigt ligger den stadig over EE-boksen, af en eller anden vanvittig grund.
Og undertegnede afbestiller lige LOTR igen. Robert A Harris mener nu ihvertfald, at HANS kopi er defekt og anbefaler, at man overvejer at afbestille sine disks:
I have just spent another hour, beginning at 6am, with the new FotR / EE / BD.
Just as an aside, having worked with both silent and sound projects, black & white, tinted (both stock as well as dye), tinted and toned, Eastman Color, three-strip, as well as both printed to dye transfer Technicolor, I'm reasonably attuned to color, timing, densities, etc.
And after continuously reading about the color problems on FotR, I have concluded that I do, in fact, have a defective set. I'll be requesting a back-up copy from WB, and will reconsider my earlier comments.
One thing that I'm missing in my set is that overall green tint. I know what an overall green tint looks like, as it has been used extensively in the printing of silent films. We used a delightful shade of green for Abel Gance's Napoleon. Since this is a production shot on color negative, I also understand that within that green tint will be other colors.
An interesting thing about digital grading is that one can extract a very defined part of the color spectrum, and either heighten or bring that area down. What I'm seeing here, especially in earlier scenes is a digitally heightened green. Trees and plants appear to be thriving on Miracle-gro.
Another defective attribute regarding my set is that not only are some scenes totally devoid of green, but they tend toward blue, gold, a touch magenta and occasionally, toward that cyan-blue push.
Having re-visited the Reifenstahl climbing sequence, I'd been seeing just a touch -- I earlier mentioned a couple of points -- of cyan-blue. I'm not seeing that now, possibly fresher eyes. What I'm seeing from beginning to end of the sequence is a few points of blue, with just a touch possibly toward cyan in a couple of shots. I've also gone out of the way to turn off, or down all displays that might have been, even in the smallest way, sending any stray color to the screen. This may have been a problem.
So after spending more time, I'm in agreement that at least my set is defective. For somehow, going from Oppo directly to projection, without going through any other circuitry, I'm seeing a beautiful representation of the film, albeit with tints and shading to create atmosphere, in a myriad of different shades, and worst of all, especially in the early scenes, flesh tones are coming through as quite natural, totally missing green.
I can only hope, for Warner Home Video's sake, that my set is in the minority, as they're going to have a huge problem on their hands when this streets.
As an aside, and not to take this discussion away from Lord of the Rings - Green Slime Edition, I did a quick check into precisely how many editions have thus far been loosed on the public in the form of DVDs and Blu-rays.
It seems to work out to about 27 different offerings. That would be only US versions, and not Spanish language.
I'm going to drop an email to WB now, giving them the bad news.
For those thinking about canceling orders, my advice would be to keep thinking about it.

Det virker nu som om, der er gemt mængder med ironi og sarkasme i hans indlæg:

Lyder ikke ligefrem som om, der er noget galt, men mere at den ikke lever op til det fuldstændig grønne billede, der blev "lovet"? ;)
