This is just the thing I sketched last Halloween, but cleaned up a bit ┐(‘～` )┌

This is on my mind because my 4-year-old just last week saw Star Wars for the first time. We watched “A New Hope” on our 65” 4K screen. To call his mind blown would be an understatement.

It had me thinking about how, when I was 5, I saw “Return of the Jedi” in theaters as my first Star War. After that, for many years Star Wars was only on VHS…

Streaming services, both music and video, removing everything from their catalogs and neglecting everything is one of the best, if not, the best ad for physical media I have seen so far…

im so sorry floppy disks heres a better poll

[foone]

One thing that's funny about being a big retrotech nerd is that I sometimes completely forget that for many people, this is so absolutely alien.

Like people will be like "oh man I haven't seen a VHS tape since I was like 5 and we visited my grandparents who still had a player and I said 'memaw, why are your dvds so big and square' and everybody laughed" and I'm like... I have a VCR in my living room. I found a random VHS tape in my car on Sunday. I have betamax tapes in my living room. I bought laserdiscs THIS WEEK. This shit is so normalized to me that I'm just amazed when people are surprised to see a 3.5" floppy disk. I mean, I love them too (obviously) but ya'll get pretty excited for them. Not even a 5.25" or something weirder like an 8" or a zip disk? Okay!

Like when I did that THE BIG ONE post I knew it'd get some response but I was surprised how much people just loved seeing & hearing a dot matrix printer. I have like three in my garage! They're just normal for me.

I dunno. It just makes me happy to see people amazed and excited for all the stuff I take for granted these days

[princess-viola]

speaking as someone who still regularly buys TV shows and movies physically, y'all really gotta stop with the copium that we'll ever return to the glory days of physical media

that ain't happening, it don't matter how many posts you see online of people talking about how they've gotten tired of streaming so they're going back to buying BDs, sales of BDs and DVDs keep falling year after year

and that's fine.

while sales are falling, i don't think we'll ever get to a point where they will be zilch (or at least that won't happen for a long ass time) because the demographic of those who want the best possible audiovisual quality when watching media will always exist

and really, all that's happened with the rise of streaming is we've gone back to how it used to be, where there were two different options depending on if you're just a casual viewer of media vs a videophile or a film enthusiast

back in the 80s and 90s, your average Joe who just wanted to watch stuff was renting or buying videocassettes and the quality was fine enough for them (regardless of if they went with VHS or betamax) but videophiles were going with laserdisc because they provided much higher audiovisual quality compared to either videotape format

and nowadays, your average Joe who just wants to watch stuff is subscribed to whatever streaming services they have (possibly in conjunction with FAST services like tubi or pluto tv) and the quality is fine enough for them but videophiles are going to BDs and 4K BDs because you get much higher audiovisual quality compared to any streaming service (like legit i'm 99% certain that even a standard 1080p BD has a higher bitrate than even a 4K streaming on like any streaming service and that's not even bringing up how the audio quality on all of them is like fuckin DVD level compressed audio whereas BDs can have uncompressed audio)

the only exception to this was the DVD era where everyone was buying into that format but again - DVDs were just the exception to the whole 'casuals go to one format, videophiles and film enthusiasts go to another format'

[maryellencarter]

So here's a question that Tumblr may be the wrongest possible audience for, but: Why don't they do boxsets of sportsball seasons?

Like, I know reliable home video has only been a thing since like the '80s-ish, but that's still forty years. Why the hell... You should be, like, finding "Fighting Irish 1996-1997 Season: Tape 4 of 8" on VHS at Goodwill, or "Wayne Gretzky's 10 Greatest Games" on DVD at the library next to "Maple Leafs 2023-2024: Auston Matthews' Record-Setting Season" on Blu-ray, or "World Cup 1987" on Betamax at an estate sale. Is there somehow just not a market for this?

(This post brought to you by me really wishing I could watch a Gretzky game or so, not just clips of his goals. Watching Maple Leafs and Penguins games has absolutely transformed how I write space battles in Star Wars, because I've seen how a once-in-a-generation talent *thinks* in four dimensions. "Wedge Antilles flies like Sidney Crosby" was not the take I expected to come up with, but it's really working for me, and "Poe Dameron flies like Mitch Marner" has somehow become a driving theme of this novel. And I really want to find out what I'd take away from seeing The Great One at work.)

Pixar gets all the credit for supposedly making the first feature-length CGI movie with Toy Story, but it’s untrue, it wasn’t even the first feature-length CGI movie released in 1995!

Toy Story was released in November of 1995, but several months earlier, a tie-in movie for the Japanese point-and-click adventure series GADGET called GADGET Trips: Mindscapes was released separately on Laserdisc in the spring (with one old source I found specifying it coming out in May).

An important thing to note is that sources regarding this movie will often claim that it came out in 1998, but that was for the DVD which came out after the Laserdisc version, and the former is simply easier to find.

It certainly doesn’t have a traditional narrative, and it’s basically one long music video with a plot you absolutely won’t even kinda sorta understand unless you read the art book Inside Out with Gadget or read the helpful summary that’s inside the Laserdisc cover itself, but it’s as much of a film as something like Koyaanisqatsi is.

However, if you want to go by the parameter of “first CGI movie to be in active development and then released”, then you could say that the 1996 Brazilian animated movie Cassiopéia should get the credit because it got started in 1992, but production problems such as some of the rendering computers getting stolen prevented it’s release until after Toy Story. Many Portuguese-speaking animation fans are already aware of this.

HOWEVER… If you want to go by the literal definition of a “cgi film”, then the 55-minute long pixel-art-styled The Flying Luna Clipper from 1987 released on VHS and Betamax technically counts. When we hear the letters “cgi”, we normally associate it with being 3D, but this movie was made mostly with an MSX computer, and is pixel art not computer generated imagery? Unless you think it isn’t because it’s much more hands-on. Sure, a lot of the movement here is basically a slideshow combined with a digital form of cut-out animation, but I think there’s enough motion to qualify it as being a movie, you know? (Thanks to @easternmind for pointing me in the direction of this)

Even if you personally disqualify The Flying Luna Clipper for being 2D, disqualify Cassiopéia for releasing in 1996, and even if you disqualify Gadget Trips: Mindscapes for its unconventional nature, you can’t solely credit Pixar for breaking new ground when it comes to CGI when you take all the shorts over the years into account, and I think these artists the world over should get more credit for their achievements, and maybe there’s even more examples of movie-length CG movies before Toy Story that I don’t even know about!

I've been working on a personal project that I wanted to yap about a little bit. This will be a bit long-winded, but it's my damn blog and I don't really care if anyone reads, to be honest.

Anyway, a few years back I bought a Sailor Moon season 1 DVD set from a Japanese-owned rental shop that was liquidating its stock. I was hoping it'd be a copy of the JP DVD set, but it turned out to be an exact copy of Viz's monstrosity from 2014. For anyone who doesn't know, that set is infamously terrible. The picture is ROUGH. Here's an example frame to show just how bad it is:

Like... what's even going on here? First of all, the aspect ratio is wrong. It's got what you might call "pillar boxing." Basically, they've embedded the 4:3 frame into a 16:9 canvas. In this case, it's an obvious sign that this set is a downscale of their blu-ray version (Which is its own nightmare). On blu-ray, this is correct practice since the BD standard only supports 16:9. On DVD, this results in the picture losing ~30% of the horizontal resolution, as well as rendering it unplayable on a traditional 4:3 display- ya know, the type of display this content was literally created to be played on.

The luma and chroma (lighting and colors) are also terrible. But not terrible in the usual "DVD copy of a broadcast VHS from 1992" way- that would be a significant upgrade from this- but in a, "how did you manage to include several types of degradation from various different types of sources?!" way. Here's an example of what it should look like:

This frame is from Viz's Pokemon DVD box set that was released around the same time. It's literally just a digital copy of a VHS from 1998. It's dull, blurry, and beautiful. There is very slight pillar boxing as an artifact of the telecine process (The tape was made by literally shooting a projector screen with a 90s TV camera). Note the significantly higher resolution compared to the Sailor Moon shot, as well as the more accurate colors. THIS is how you'd expect Sailor Moon to look on DVD. But... it doesn't?

Somehow the SM shot shows significant red shift (Colors are SIGNIFICANTLY redder than they're supposed to be), which you'd expect from film assets that had been stored improperly over long periods of time. Yet we know from Viz's statements at the time that they weren't allowed to use the film assets... Which is why it looks so shit, according to them... But then they'd be giving us a scan of, presumably, a betamax tape from 1992 (Japan was big on beta). But that would look significantly better than what they released? So how does a beta tape end up with film degradation? Unless Viz is saying that Toei literally created a brand new telecine of aged, badly-stored film to give them in 2014?

For comparison, here's my attempt to "fix" the SM footage for my own personal use:

It's not perfect, but it's significantly better. I was able to do this using free software in my spare time. How did Viz fuck up so badly? Is it really Toei's fault like they said? It's truly one of the great mysteries of anime fandom.

Watching a movie or show is so complicated these days, with all of these millions of streaming services popping up, titles getting removed from the platforms, jumping the prices, bad original titles on streaming, lots of cancelled one-season (or more seasons) shows, and neglecting these millions of old and lesser-known/obscure titles from their catalog.

The situation of listening to music isn't certainly better these days, with songs that users used to love getting removed from music streaming services and fading into gray text and faded cover art and artists removing their songs on these platforms. There are tons of music and songs that don't even appear on these music streaming platforms!

Thankfully, physical media is still alive, with hundreds of thousands and even millions of titles on VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray, vinyl records, cassettes, CDs, and etc.

Please reblog after voting so the poll can reach more people.

[ailurinae]

If you don't mind me asking, do you prefer VHS or Betamax?

... not what I was expecting when I saw the ask icon.

Unfortunately I missed the core era of the format war... we only had a VHS player, and so did everyone else we knew. In fact, I have not watched anything on Beta, and I think I only saw Beta equipment in a tech museum once. So I don't have much of a real opinion.

That said, in theory Beta having somewhat better quality sounds nice, though I don't know how much it was really noticeable in practice. But VHS having a longer runtime is certainly a handy thing. Ultimately hard to say were I would have come down if I had been alive and old enough to pay attention at the time.

I will say I wanted HD-DVD to win over Blu-Ray in that format war, both because HD-DVD was a consortium while Blu-Ray was mostly Sony and they had a bad odor at that time (due to the Sony BMG music rootkit), and HD-DVD had menus based on XML and JS rather than Blu-Ray's Java.

         I’ve been working on a really big gift for Assumpta that I plan on giving her when I see her, and that’s a USB with almost all of her films and shows from the start of her career to 1995. I’ve spent the last six years hunting down and finding everything that I could of hers, and have probably spent hundreds of dollars collecting rare and out of print DVDs. (Rossini! Rossini! is my crown jewel; that alone was $80. The last copy I saw was from 3 years ago, and was listed at $400- you can’t find it anywhere now). Surprisingly, I’ve found a big chunk of her obscure works on a Russian video website. Not entirely sure why but I’m not complaining whatsoever.

        In general I just like her stuff. Initially it started because I was looking to make edits and take screenshots for icons to use for rping Teresa. And it was incredibly difficult to track down her works. It STILL is sometimes. Her stuff from 1979-1995 is notoriously hard to find, and it really comes down to her works being foreign films and in a time period where things weren’t preserved well. Some films or shows I still haven’t found and likely never will. I search every foreign version of websites like ebay and amazon, or use their countries equivalent. i’ve visited so many shady websites and had to use vpn’s to even look stuff up. I couldn’t believe it when I found Adelaide on Vimeo, as only VHS or Betamax (who tf has a betamax machine anymore?) copies existed, often for $100+. I sent it to her and she was SO excited- she hadn’t seen that film in 30 years, since the premiere in 1991. And I decided I had to find all her works that I could if only to let her watch her own stuff again.

       It made me sad to think so much of her works are inaccessible due to the time in which they were filmed and copies not being preserved that even SHE hasn’t seen many of them. Nowadays you can find quite a few on Amazon Spain (which ofc I can’t access) and some are even being made into Blurays! It’s great progress. But media preservation and access to stuff like this is important to me in general. I got to speak with John Tams, who played Hagman and was one of the co-composers of the Sharpe series, about the music in the films that weren’t included on the official CD. He told me that because of the technology at the time, going from analogue to digital meant that archiving was barely possible or desired because of the amount of space it would take. Those songs now only exist in the films- the rest are completely erased from history and quite frankly it’s devastating to think too hard about it.

        So out of my list, I’ve managed to find about 71 of about ~90 films and shows/episodes of hers. Some I don’t think I’ll ever find. I’m still figuring out the best way to download videos online but I’ve ripped almost all my DVD’s and Blurays of hers, but I still have a ways to go.

        This post was just supposed to be me bitching about how I managed to rip Company and Enemy, but not Rifles and Eagle lmfao. I got a little sidetracked. But yeah I’m worried bc the Sharpe Bluray’s were damn expensive and bc I watched those two films SO much the disc is...a little worn. But I don’t want to completely rebuy the collection so I’m gonna keep trying 😭😭😭

STRANGE WORLD's Unlikely 2nd Life

The Walt Disney Company feels that there are 61, soon to be 62 animated features in their "Animated Classics Canon"...

At least 20 films in the "canon" had flopped at the box office on their initial releases.

And many of those films found successful second lives afterwards... A theatrical run is short, but the movie's existence is forever after that...

The earliest Disney animated films lived on through theatrical re-issues...

Example: PINOCCHIO (1940) and BAMBI (1942) were initially impacted by World War II, whether it was audiences at home not taking to those stories the same way they did to SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS just a few years earlier, or almost the entire European market being cut off. When the war was over, and these films began playing in territories where they initially were banned from, and when they came back to American theaters every 5-10 years, they began to make their money back... and they all eventually became the crown jewels of Disney's animated library. Would you believe for a second that PINOCCHIO, where Disney's whole damn anthem comes from... And BAMBI, one of the great Disney tearjerkers... Were initially viewed as disappointments upon their release? And even lost money?

Flop is a loaded word in movie-dom, and often a misused word... A film losing lots of money has long been something of a curse to a movie or even its filmmakers, something so stigmatized... And during Walt's years among the living, a lot of what's considered the cream of the crop... PINOCCHIO, FANTASIA, BAMBI, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and SLEEPING BEAUTY... All lost money at the box office on their respective initial releases... And they were saved by re-issues over time... Films that even had mixed or outright negative reviews upon release, long considered iconic afterwards... It just had to take a few years.

Other films had second lives via home video. Home video as we know it today came about in 1975, in the form of Betamax, in Japan. VHS followed there in 1976. The winning VHS format then came to America in 1977, and slowly grew from there, becoming much more commonplace in American homes by the end of the 1980s... Walt Disney, of course, didn't live to see this video age, but it proved to be a deus ex machina to flop animated movies, more so than a theatrical re-issue could be. THE BLACK CAULDRON was originally released in theaters in 1985, and could've easily come to video the year after, but the film wouldn't debut on video until 1998. Thirteen years later... And it more than made back what it lost. THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER was the sole box office loss during the Disney Renaissance of the late 1980s/early 1990s, but on videocassette and LaserDisc, it covered all of its losses within a year. THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE, TREASURE PLANET, and BROTHER BEAR all thrived on DVD/VHS... So on, so forth.

Now we're in the streaming era. ENCANTO. Great example. Did so-so in theaters during the Delta and Omicron variants, collected about $250m worldwide... While SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME made that kind of money on its first weekend in North America *alone*... But lo and behold, ENCANTO *explode* on Disney+ and is one of the most streamed films of all-time. Disney regularly racked up world records in home video sales (SNOW WHITE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ALADDIN, and THE LION KING broke all the records), and they also dominate streaming: ENCANTO, along with the two FROZENs and MOANA, regularly are in the Top 10 most-streamed movies...

Then there's the latest Walt Disney Animation Studios film, STRANGE WORLD, a sci-fi adventure movie that came out in theaters merely less than a year ago. A film they left to die in theaters during the Thanksgiving stretch, with a truly ineffective marketing campaign behind it. For whatever reason, it tested poorly before release, Disney had no faith in it, and audiences didn't seem to like it much. But on Disney+, it did quite well in its first couple of weeks, so maybe there was a small sliver of hope for this one...

Now, it has made a resurgence... But for reasons a lot of us expected, but maybe not in the way we thought it would play out...

And just a warning, I'm going to get very political... So, yeah, just a heads up...

STRANGE WORLD was shown in an elementary school in the dictatorship known as... the state of Florida. Because Florida's draconian frumpy toad of a governor kisses up to his ghastly constituents - the very weirdos in this country who hate queer people and are also very politically active, showing STRANGE WORLD - a PG-rated Disney movie for the entire family - to a class of schoolchildren is a criminal act of the highest order. The poor 5th grade teacher, Ms. Jenna Barbee, is being *investigated* for this! Per the governor's orders! You would've thought she had shown CALIGULA (1979) to the class or something! And it was all spurred by some angry Karen-looking woman who had actually signed a waiver that *allowed* Barbee to show her child and the other students PG-RATED MOVIES.

Oh, but not THAT one apparently...

Just another day in America, it seems... And just another day in a state as completely-f*cked as Florida.

The very state where The Walt Disney Company operates a little theme park that... I dunno... Happens to drive A LOT of the state's tourism???

So... Theatrical re-releases, home video, streaming... and government-mandated investigation...

This is not the first time a Disney animated movie spurred some kind of controversy, but this... This is a whole other level... Because right now, in certain states in this country, the right-wing is working overtime to rip the LGBTQIA+ community of their rights, criminalize them, demonize them, and erase them. Especially in the schools, all age groups, whether you're a kindergartner or a high school senior, even. All under the guise of "protecting children"...

To these awful awful people, a straight couple existing and even expressing love for one another is totally OKAY... But if an LGBTQIA+ couple even so much as *thinks* of smiling at each other, it's CORRUPTING our youth! Monsters like this particular governor are doing this because their lowlife constituents want it. Millions of asshole Americans who hate everyone and everything, that's who this stupid elephant party answers exclusively to. And they do it, with pleasure. Anything to power themselves, no matter how many people it hurts and even kills. They'll make up all the worst lies about us queers in order to render our pleas for just wanting to be left alone insignificant. They use trojanhorse concerns like "schools are trying to s*xualize kids", something schools legally CAN'T do, to make the masses think that us queers are in a conspiracy with "liberals", "leftists", "marxists", "communists", "socialists", and George Soros to harm children.

This is what we're up against, and STRANGE WORLD is now part of this ludicrous, hateful war... Something this party would rather invest in than actually, ya know, running a country with *actual* policy???

Truly normal people watched the movie and just said "Ok, whatever."

These demented goblins see the most menacing sinister thing preying on the vulnerable youth in our country.

All because the character Ethan Clade has a crush on a boy named Diazo... There's one scene of them hanging out together, and it's so brief and harmless... Throughout the movie, Ethan mentions his love of this boy. The two are seen together helping out in Avalonia's insides at the very end of the movie, and that's it really... It's a significant cut above the nearly non-existent "representation" seen in previous Disney-released movies... Like the utter joke that was THE RISE OF SKYWALKER's "representation", or the blink-and-you'll-miss-it nonsense seen in films like the live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, and even some of those were protested by wackiest of right-wing wackos.

This is really what we're dealing with in America, folks... Some harmless Disney movie that flopped at the box office and no one really paid attention to is CRIME OF THE CENTURY to a very loud and powerful block of the country, and is now part of a state governor and his cronies' cruel war on an entire community's existence. And part of this gremlin's war is also Walt Disney World itself, as it is based in Florida, and he's trying to dictate them and their district that they operate out of...

Currently, Disney is fighting this demon in other ways, one of the few good things this corporation is actually doing. Which feels kind of wrong to say, but between Iger and this utter fascist? Oh I'll side with Iger on this one, easily, even if Disney gave a lot of support to this guy and his bullshit in the first place.

I wonder if this will drive views on Disney+ for STRANGE WORLD, a movie that otherwise would've just... Existed on there... I wonder if many will stream it out of curiosity. Just *how* inappropriate is this flop sci-fi Disney movie? Is it really all that controversial? They'll pop it on, realize that it's just some harmless 100min movie, and call it a day... Making that governor and those who wholeheartedly support his crusade look even stupider and wackier than they already do...

I believe STRANGE WORLD does have a second life ahead of it, in that it's a family movie with pretty solid queer representation. It's nice to see two characters actually showing affection, and not it being some line you can easily miss, or something hidden far in the background of a crowded shot. This movie probably already has uplifted many a queer kid, preteen, or teenager already. Just seeing themselves, not as a joke, and not much attention is called to it, either. Avalonia is not Earth, and their society is all-accepting and seemingly unmarred by colonialism and capitalism. Mixed race families, queer people, disabled people, they all just harmoniously exist there. When Ethan tells his grandpa Jaegar Clade about his crush back home, you - the Earth-dwelling audience - would expect the old man to object... But he doesn't! It's a relief, in a way. Instead, he's like "what's he like? Here's how you impress him!" In Avalonia, it's as normal as anything else. Very "Disney" of this movie to create a fantasy world where you can be queer and not have to worry about millions of people wanting you erased from existence.

While I don't find STRANGE WORLD to be a masterpiece, or anything close to it, I think that's very important nonetheless. A lot of younger folk will have this movie, and it'll be a favorite of theirs. Much in the same way a lot of kids ate up EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, ATLANTIS, TREASURE PLANET, and BROTHER BEAR on video, and took those movies with them into the adult age. Nowadays those movies are more positively spoken about. Not like in, say, 2008 where most people said "oh, those flops."

It would simply have that in its favor, but... It's now part of a government investigation. It's now in 'Louie, Louie' territory, as a harmless piece of media that's in big trouble... At the hands of people who just need to f*cking chill for five seconds already.

('Louie, Louie' is in reference to a rock song by The Kingsmen, which came out in 1963, and was investigated by the F-B-freakin'-I for supposedly "obscene" lyrics that weren't there... But the hilarious thing is, one of the musicians yelling the f-word in the background during the session was in the released recording... The FBI didn't notice that whatsoever. Funny how the things you are often looking for are right in front of you!)

Moving on... STRANGE WORLD is now in a truly strange situation, one that did not need to happen, and I'm sure little will be done about this by Disney themselves... as this is something that the people need to revolt against or work their damnedest to vote out. Hey, Jacksonville elected a Democrat the other day, so it's not all lost! Disney can only deal with the things the governor is dishing to them, not a teacher somewhere in the state who showed a movie to her class. Though it would be nice if ol' Iger made some sort of statement at least, something about standing by the movie and its representation, which won't do anything other than... Ya know, piss the right people off? Disneyland on the West Coast is already having a big queer celebration in the coming months, so might as well piss these people off some more. It'll at least be funny!

It'd be even more hilarious if WISH had some queerness in it, ditto any other upcoming PG-rated movies of theirs. Like, they could hide STRANGE WORLD because it was a somewhat-weird sci-fi adventure movie, but something more mainstream-looking like WISH or ELEMENTAL or any of those movies? It'd be cool if they kept it up. I know that I, a queer person who loves the animated works and theme park entertainments that comes out of the Disney enterprise, would be a very happy camper about that, too...

Like, in simple terms... Teacher gets targeted by a queer-loathing state governor for showing a Disney movie in class... And that Disney movie happens to be... STRANGE WORLD...
