Oh wow. I do remember hearing at the time that there were issues in some theaters with the Atmos mix or equipment which caused it to sound weird. But you're saying that the mix in the way it is actually supposed to be heard is that different from the original too?
I disagree. Old movies can look very good in better quality. I watched some of the old Universal monster movies in 4K recently and they look amazing.
I really hope the original audio is included when they release it on Blu-Ray.
Oh I agree on the universal horror films, they look awesome. I was more referring to grindhouse style B movies like return of the living dead, dead of night or children shouldn’t play with dead things.
Here's the thing, when they were working on the remaster, i don't think they were able to relocate the original audio sources, including the original music edit for the video mix, instead they recreated the video edit using the master of the album version.
I think those can look great too. I like how the original Dawn of the Dead looks on 4K Blu-Ray.
That honestly sucks that they were able to remaster the video, but not the audio source. What other MJ videos were they unable to locate?
Get outta here with your negativity please
Here's the thing i don't know why they weren't able to locate the original sound effects reel for the music video, most likely due to the estate's piss poor organization of Michael's stuff.
Yeah I sadly doubt they have everything located to remaster every video. For whatever reason the archives weren't kept in check over the years.
If the rumor is true that there will be 4K music videos on streaming platforms, im sure the platforms have standards in regards to the quality of the videos that are to be put onto them, so im sure they wont be able to get away with some crappy upscale.
That's nothing we here at mjjc can't fix on the audio tip
Idk...John Landis was pretty keen on saying how they went back to the original negatives...there's only one correct way to do 4k & they should know by now we will call them out on it. Buts let's not be negative about it
Yeah, this is a grade-A remaster. Still furious I missed seeing it in theaters.
This. They shouldn't remove the film grain because then they remove details too. Also I hope they don't change the aspect ratios. Thriller will probably be widescreen because it was shown in a movie theaters.
I wish that the police raid’s weren’t so intentionally destructive to the point MJs daily possessions and storage weren’t totally destroyed.
They DEFINITELY have all the original reels/master tapes for the footage, but some of the additional things like sound effects reels and stuff like that could've gotten misplaced
But death is inevitable, and when you’re a figure as prominent and culturally important as he is, a lack of organization is self-destructive.
Amen to that.
We can acknowledge the man’s remarkable talent and heart while also faulting him for his mistakes. His affairs were in almost comic disarray, and because of that, who knows how much material is permanently lost? As a public figure, he should’ve done better. That isn’t diminishing him; it’s just the reality of his actions.
I just saw this! I live 15 minutes from a Target and I'm tempted to go now and look lol
It's weird because he had to of went through the archives for Private Home Movies. Maybe he had some decent record keeping before the raids happened and after MJ just didnt care anymore.
I don’t think so, sadly. Brad Sundberg said that anyone who gave MJ anything important might as well have chucked it into the void, because they’re never seeing it again, so there’s a reputation at play.
