Dumb & Dumberer Review NOT Complaint
Video (6): Slightly grainy including lots of macroblocks, typical VideoCD motion blur (although less than some of their previous encodes), colors are good but aren't vibrant like some screeners, jagged edges i.e. Bob Sagat's glasses, etc., slightly jerky playback on some scenes, semi-annoying watermark (quite small), jumping counter, and small unnoticeable blur (upper right side) throughout video. Overall good source and very nice for such an early release.
Sound (8): No complaints, very nice audio.
Movie (?): No comment yet but probably not as good as the first.
KaiKo: All types of watermarks, counters, serials, and so on can exist on workprints. They are afterall unfinished studio screeners.
rAppA & SPS: His full name is James Eugene Carrey, born Canadian on January 17th 1962, has a daughter named Jane. The credits of "In Living Color" also displayed "James Carrey", he started using Jim when he migrated from TV to silver screen.
Conclusion, the average leecher would not care if this is a workprint/telecine/screener most likely because they just want the release as soon as possible, as decent as possible (no pun intended, just my thoughts). The "scene" however, SOMETIMES looks beyond a fast release (as good or bad as it may be) and tries to justify the label/source to prevent clutter/confusion for validity of releases. If a Beta PC Game gets released and it is as good as FINAL, it'll still get nuked if a REAL FINAL is released with proof that the previous version was beta. I'm not saying this isn't a screener nor am I saying that it is a workprint, but the difference between the two is not it's quality... it's the content. Without watching other versions of this, no one should scream "workprint!" without proof such as missing or uncut scenes, absence of music or un/edited dialog, and so on. Sorry for the long post, just trying to clarify some concerns. I decided to start doing thorough reviews because alot of the posts lack this information instead of the typical "yay, nay, boo hoo" stuff. Well, good job VideoCD! 6/8/?
