Anybody watch Happy Gilmore 2?

Seeing mixed reviews on it. I thought it was fun and fits the Sandler type movies. I wasn't expecting anything game changing from them.

I used to watch baywatch (on mute) while doing other things. Much better show that way. Less cringing because of the bad acting.

Joke Gilbert Gottfried told at the Hasselhoff roast:

Hoff walked into a bar... He stayed there until they closed.

The title of the film is “John Rambo”.

“The film’s plot is under wraps, but it will be the origin story of a young John Rambo during the Vietnam War.”

I'm undecided on this one. Sure, it could be good. That is, unless they have Stallone playing young Rambo lol.

It could probably be about any badass soldier, not necessary to make it about Rambo. Especially since the only people familiar with Rambo and the series are old people like us. Ask one of my teenagers who's Rambo? I doubt they would have any idea.
 
Well his schedule is free right?

Regarding Full Metal Jacket, that is pretty lame that someone decided it was necessary to change the art. I guess they were afraid that someone would be offended.

A song from the Scorpions played on Spotify yesterday and I told my wife and kids how this original cover was banned back in the 80's because it was too explicit. It was replaced by a picture of the band. I remember being proud to own the original art when my friend had the replacement art. To think this was even controversial back then.

Yeah... the Scorpions had a series of banned album covers. Engage a VPN and google "Original Cover for Scorpions Virgin Killer" or "original cover for Lovedrive"

This one is tame compared to those.

Yes, definitely cringe and wouldn't have been released at all if it was a current album.

Theoretically from what I've seen in the leaks, this could be a 6k scan. I mean that I've seen reference to *up to* 6k scanning. I highly doubt they're enlightened enough to take it at that full scan level, clean it up, and release a raw "uncompressed full res" version digitially only or on thumb drives at 6 to 8k for buku bucks a pop. That would make too much sense, diseny is too retarded to do that.

The original negatives were 35mm film, and if they did a good job with that, they could get useful information even at those (and maybe slightly higher) levels. Yes, film in competent hands can contain that much detail.

Some or a great many of the optical effects were done on 70mm film and spliced into the 35mm film. This means those effects would or could have more detail and finer grain structure than the 35mm film.

There reportedly were some *blow ups* to 70mm film of the movies made and shown, but you wouldn't get more detail thant he original had. Also there were reportedly multitrack (more then stereo ... I think I've seen it said they were six track) cuts of the audio that was played with these 70mm showings - these are IIRC effectively lost, and can only be recreated. If they are smart they will find and restore those and give that option.

IF they do a REALLY good job *from the original negatives* that could theoretically be multiple "generational copies" better than what was seen in theaters. What I mean is that there was the original negative, a copy made of that, and IIRC they took copies of that copy to make the projected film reels everyone saw in the theaters. I am no expert or even amateur here, I'm just repeating what I remember seeing.

What would suck very badly is if they did the hideous nonsense that cameron has done to his movies where they try and use AI and postprocessing to remove all film grain. Doing so inherently and always removes useful visual information detail... all because some mentally midgeted "autist" who can't get out of their mommie's basement doesn't like film grain.
