Root post for #monsterdon
we waited one long week and I can't believe the day has finally come and it's time for The Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy
#Monsterdon
Alright from the very first title card it looks like the Tubi version (left) is substantially different from the archive.org version (right). anyone got any info on the various releases of this movie? #monsterdon
ya woof, the tubi version is like a million times clearer than the archive.org version. idk if that's some "AI upsampling" thing or if it is just a much better restoration #monsterdon
@jonny yikes. Debating if the ads are worth it
@aburka it'll be on @monsterdon ad-free
@jonny @monsterdon what languages are you doing for audio and subs
@aburka i'm going with the english dub (i don't see the tubi version having spanish audio?) and i'll also grab the english subs in a sec (also don't see other languages there from tubi) but if you want additional sub languages just lmk where they are and i can upload em
@jonny @aburka just re-uploaded a downloadable version of my transcode in case it's of any use (the raw I have is bigger than the wormhole hosting cutoff) https://tvwatch.party/@ryan/113501162920213503
@jonny yeah I doubt it's upscaling: especially since it's black and white, it's probably just a clearer reproduction based upon the original film
@jonny Amazon has it with the free trial of 'full moon' so I'm doing that. I just need to remember to unsubscribe from it tomorrow so I don't get billed
@jonny archive isn't a good option for me anyway. i need to be able to watch in my tv so i can post on my laptop
@Taweret yeah i get that, i think that most smart TVs that have browsers can watch peertube videos? but idk i just would do literally anything in order to not see ads so i know that's not other ppl's highest priority
@jonny a fair number of these movies i actually had on dvd anyway. but not this one
@jonny So, we’re going with ads tonight?
@ramsey no no i'm going to rip it from tubi and reupload to @monsterdon - never will i ever watch a movie with ads in it #monsterdon
@jonny @monsterdon Did you upload it?
@jonny Thanks! For some reason, I don’t see any of the posts for @monsterdon
it looks like both of them are cropping the original in some way - in the tubi version, it's been cropped vertically to be 16:9, but the archive.org version is cropped horizontally and has vertical black bands around the edges. what in tarnation #monsterdon
@jonny excuse me
g-g-g-g-ghosts!
@jonny argghh that's annoying (but good to know). i'll be watching the tubi version (ripped) #monsterdon
For those of u just joining us pre-show #monsterdon - the archive.org version is really bad, and so if you want to see the tubi version without ads i've rehosted it on @monsterdon here: https://tube.me.jon-e.net/w/58a6uu9emiaCofNVgizTsf
and @ryan is hosting the Spanish audio version over here: https://miru.miyaku.media/
( i've started a list of alternative monsterdon sources here, so if you also regularly provide a stream, lmk and i'll add it to the list: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon#Alternative_Movie_Sources )
punching a dude in the throat is a hell of a way to make an entrance #monsterdon
look the movie is literally titled "wrestling women vs the aztec mummy" so you better believe we are going to get 25% of the runtime being literal wrestling women. this rocks #monsterdon
what kind of pin is holding someone's arms out to the side like that is that regulation #monsterdon
when she says "you and i almost didn't even make it" is she saying death is an option in these matches? #monsterdon
TIMESTAMP TO GO BACK AND CLIP THE GUY BEHIND THE PILLAR #monsterdon
THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS SCENE #monsterdon
the guy creeping over the window and that guys wailing voice, this movie is so good it's hard to put into words, i am just speechless #monsterdon
i have no idea why they are setting up this three's company cohabitation situation but it can only be good for the movie #monsterdon
the cohabitation plan didn't even last a single scene #monsterdon
dog be fucking careful with how you handle thousand year old documents there isn't a backup of the codex #monsterdon
"now watch as i dominate this girl's will" is an incredible localization near-miss, that is just in the uncanny valley of "things that are syntactically and semantically valid but not things that would ever be said exactly like that" #monsterdon
couldn't even get the voice actor to pretend like that limberger cheese joke worked #monsterdon
WHAT does that "as an amazon, you're the greatest" line mean. #monsterdon
@jonny I suspect it's a mistranslation, "As a warrior woman".
@rallias like i assume the amazon part was the derogatory term for a very tall and muscular woman but what does the whole construction of the sentence mean "as an amazon, ..." #monsterdon
the tall woman chopped the short guy into the room..? and then fought the people that were in the room? is anyone on anyone's side or what are they doing? #monsterdon
#timestamp to clip the three-dude pileup #monsterdon
@jonny that's how you can tell it's real rasslin #monsterdon
@jonny Not sure what Tubi does but generally their version is a lot better looking than say archive.org or YT
