Just Went To See The "remastered" Interstella 5555 At The Theater.......... Good God The Blatant AI Upscaling

Just went to see the "remastered" Interstella 5555 at the theater.......... good god the blatant AI upscaling was egregious 😬 i don't think i've ever struggled so hard to enjoy something.

I'm very out of the loop so im curious to know who the hell's decision this was, and whatever happened to the original print? there has to be a better way. i refuse to believe there isn't. to call the product screened tonight a "remaster" or "restoration" is downright silly.

And how ironic is it, that an animated film about a band of artists being exploited at the hands of the evil entertainment industry, uses AI for its re-release?? HELLO????????

Post body: "This is probably a very weird request, but I've become fascinated by the idea of a fragrance with no humanity or warmth at all- cold, remote, imposing, untouchable. Not repulsive, but beautiful in a, well, inhuman way,..."

A Facebook post from Craig Wallace that reads: "As promised, today we are pleased to announce that the Phantom of the Paradise 50th Anniversary celebration will be on November 2nd, 2024 at the Burton Cummings Theatre! Contracts are being signed next week and tickets should go on sale a week or so after that on TicketMaster! Joining us for the celebration, is an amazing line up! Paul Williams - Swan, Peter Elbling, Archie Hahn, and Jeffrey Comanor - The Juicy Fruits, Beach Bums, Undeads, along with others. The evening will entail, so far: A viewing of the movie Phantom of the Paradise, of course, a Q&A session with the cast, Swanage performing the entire album live, a costume contest and other events as we add them. We are planning that this event will run from 6 PM to 11 PM. Are you as excited as we are? To make this event a success, we will need to have 700 tickets sold, while the facility will hold upwards of 1,200."

update: it's gone from a semitone to roughly 58 cents off but it's still really really annoying. never thought there would come a day when i'd wish to be tone-deaf

my family and i have been fighting a nasty bronchial infection for the past week and a half and today i woke up with an earache from sleeping on my side

AND NOW EVERYTHING IN MY RIGHT EAR SOUNDS A HALF-STEP LOWER THAN IT SHOULD BE

i can't listen to music because it sounds exactly like this

like i'm bummed but it's also extremely funny
