The one place that has a soup I really like and can't find anywhere else also has to be the rudest one. Hate giving them money, but if I want Yen Ta Fo that's where I gotta go.

Need to learn to make that myself.

@MattMerk @flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com - From what I understand, these episodes were scanned of a 35mm safety copy, so they didn't go back to the source material. I'd assume the CGI was scanned in at 1080p and then cleaned up with AI. You can definitely see a light softness in the CGI and where digital compositing was used.

Sitting in the car with the sun beating down on me during a hot day when the AC doesn't work. I remember this with Cheyenne. I also remember not liking it at all.

@MattMerk @flockofnazguls@mastodon.flockofnazguls.com - It's really impressive to see how they went from the fairly primitive (but for the time, great) shots in the first season to the some really amazing shots in the later ones. I remember JMS saying they were using tricks like "I need this scene PACKED with ships, so as soon as the you hit the wall of what you can do, as soon as a ship goes off screen, start rendering a new one coming into frame."

A comparison of the DVD and Blu Ray since I did it for another poster. The DVD is on the left, the HD transfer (from Amazon Prime Video) on the right:

@IngaLovinde - Here's a comparison. 16:9 DVD on left, 4:3 Blu Ray on right (from the HD stream on Amazon).

@IngaLovinde - It's everything. It's what we saw on TV. The film scenes are cropped to 4:3 from the 16:9 masters (which is how it was broadcast), and the CGI is fullscreen 4:3 (instead of cropped and zoomed 16:9).

"You know what I miss? The old Internet Underground Music Archive. Fun place to listen to new music if you had a 5 hours on the 9600 baud modem. Let's wiki it up and reminice....what's this link? Oh. OH MY."

@estarriol - EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ZATHRAS!

@DNA - No link I've found as of yet. Just the announcement from JMS: https://www.facebook.com/officialjmspage/posts/pfbid0qniJeg7Wub79CiSWLHg3o3HwfGSmsA9bTyAJjs5mEBKnqM89bVHfvcdfbkSTRTzNl

@Skovheks - I have a recipe!

It's coming! The 1080p remaster is the way to go. While we're losing the 16:9 presentation, what we are getting is the proper 4:3 special effects which were so badly presented in the DVD releases. To quote another franchise "The Best of Both Worlds."
