One of my all time favs. I kept waffling on picking up the Spanish Blu-Ray, glad I waited!

In-between being a big baby, MisterLime has revealed on the Blu-ray forum (why do I still lurk there?) that the best selling KL Studio Classics title is, somewhat surprisingly,

Spoiler

Witness for the Prosecution

Rawhide as well.

For those that still care about the Murnau Stiftung titles being released in the wrong ratio, the official answer from MisterLime is now to get a life and deal with it.

I really hope he is just a volunteer. A) Because otherwise Kino is wasting precious money on this loser and B) Even losers have to eat.

And I wasn't paraphrasing too.

Wow.

Orlac - I'm friends with Scott (MisterLime) who hasn't posted here in years - I don't think you should call him a loser when he's not here to defend himself, not cool.

I understand the impetus behind defending your friend, but as MisterLime has made himself a public figure, members here are free to speak however they choose of him. Unlike some boards, we don't whitewash dissent against a label and/or labelhead in return for their continued patronage

He is really trying to give Bill from Code Red a run for his money, but at least Bill's posts are hugely entertaining!

It's very easy to call people names from the comfort of your home, sitting behind your keyboard. He apologized the following day and said he lost him temper the previous night after consistent posts by that individual that had gone on for weeks and asked the moderator to remove the post.

That Blu-ray.com thread was a KL Studio Classics one, the complaints should be posted in the regular Kino Lorber thread... and come to think of it this is also a KL Studio Classics thread.

What is the difficulty level compared to, say, telling customers they have no life?

I'm not defending his comment and he did apologize later. Also the person he said that to was there to defend himself.

You realize even if he were an active poster this would apply, right? Like we're not posting from the same house

Actually "that person" was suspended for derailing the thread.

Your friend Scott can very well f*** himself. A few weeks ago he arrogantly called people on the BR.com boards "Eureka fanboys" for telling him they messed up the aspect ratio on "Spies", "Diary of a Lost Girl" and "Woman in the Moon". He said he was going to come back with official word from the foundation that was going to show that MoC made the error and not them.

As it turned out, FWMS said that Kino were in the wrong. Yet Kino never said anything to take responsability or apologize for the way MisterLime treated the people who complained, even going as far as bashing Eureka. And when that was pointed out to your dear Scott, his answer was to get a life and that 1.28 was almost 1.33

Now please get out of our faces.

Again, it's easy to be a tough guy sitting behind your computer at the safety of your mom's basement.

They made an official comment on the Kino Lorber Facebook page, but not on the KL Studio Classics thread, since they were not Studio Classics. Kino's masters were 1.28 which the same as the master they received from the FWMS, the negative for the film is 1.28, but he intended ratio is 1.33 and Kino should made the needed adjustment, but they didn't and also stand by their Blu-ray releases of the films - like it or not.

The difference between 1.85 and 1.75 is minuscule, so the difference between 1.28 and 1.33 is even less. The "Eureka Fanboy" was the same guy he told to get a life and after the guy continued interrupting his daily announcements and derailing the thread.

I know I have no chance of winning this argument against the biased mob already here, I just hope I get through the fair ones.

It's very much untrue that the thread was being derailed daily. In fact all posts were quickly moved by a moderator to a dedicated thread on "Spies" and the discussion was kept there, with a lot of people (not just one "fanboy") expressing their displeasure. ONE comment was made in the Kino Studio Classics thread about a month later and MisterLime immediately flipped out and said to get a life.

You won't win this one by lying. The fact remains that Kino released discs in the wrong AR, pretended that Eureka were the ones that dropped the ball and then told paying customers to deal with it when it was made clear by the Murnau foundation that the AR was 1.33 and not 1.28

For reference, here's the link to the "Spies" thread on BR.com. You'll see that several people were complaining, not just a lone "fanboy" with no life living in his mom's basement. http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=270433" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Kino released the same 1.28 master they received from FWMS, so there was some miscommunications from the start. Why would they go a create an aspect ratio that no one outside of the industry had heard of, the FWMS people were at the Berlin Film Festival when this minor issue had created an armageddon, they posted a comment on their Facebook page addressing this issue once they heard back from FWMS, but I guess they should've posted it everywhere - I looked for it and couldn't find it, so I don't know what happened to it.

MisterLime only posts on 1 thread on Blu-ray.com and 1 on HTF, so he wouldn't be posting on the separate "Spies" thread.

All I'm trying to say is that name calling doesn't help anyone no matter who does it. I've made the "mom's basement" comment after you rudely said Scott can go F*** himself and told me to "get our of our faces". I didn't know you were voted as the voice for the whole thread.

Also, what does this say about our society. This the most traffic this tread has seen in months.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Kino was offering wrong aspect ratios and inferior discs before MisterLime joined them. Now he has just become the defensive voice for the organization and their same old issues.

You are MrLime, aren't you?

They both share the same location and internet service provider, though perhaps they both work out of the same office or something

Oh, you got me We both live in NY and have the same cable provider, so we have to be the same person. I've actually posted on Blu-ray.com for years, so sorry Columbo, but you're wrong. I guess anyone who dares to defend MisterLime has to be Scott.
