Skin Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Oh stop bitching about people bitching. I agree with SecretGarden on just about everything. Another GRIPE I have with this is that one of the things I love about Madonna's concert's is when they show the connection she is making with the audience in that given moment. With this tour you could have a shot of her singing in NYC and then a crowd reaction from people in some other country. And yes I know tours like Sticky and Sweet were filmed over two nights I think so some of the crowd reactions might not match up to the exact moment Madonna was performing, but you still felt the crowds connection to Madonna and Madonna's connection to that very crowd. Not so here at all. Even when they show her Miami speech I am sure 99% of the shots from the people in that crowd weren't even there for that speech. It's just not authentic. I would much rather her tours go back to being edited like The Girlie Show/Drowned World, ect. Sticky and Sweet was well done in my opinion as well. The MDNA tour was so perfect on its own. It didn't need all the extra over laying of special effects and still shots and transitions from black and white to color and back again thrown in. And my last gripe. I am still in shock that a professional editor didn't have enough sense to put in a wide shot when Madonna kills the first guy during gang bang so we could actually see the perfectly timed blood splatter in the background to go with the kill!!!!!!! Whatever. I am done bitching unless someone else bring up another point I overlooked. :lol:/> You can call me an irrelevant fag. Its okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanM Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 After 24 hours I finally managed to download the 5GB file from the torrent. Today I wanted to watch it on my HD TV, but it's pixelated and out of synch, though I could still watch it on VLC, but I decided to wait. I want to see it in its full glory for the first time. I cannot believe how and why M fans are so lazy. If there's an award show or concert of an other artist its on torrent sites in HD within hours, and now 2 days passed and nothing... Wish I would live in the US, I bet i would have found a way to atleast rip it from the web somehow. (Jaksta usually rips everything for me.)

mdna2012 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yep, lazy fans. The only (saint) person that is working on it is a nation member but I still can't believe he's the ONLY ONE. The majority of America doesn't get Epix since the channel is only available on a few cable providers. And I'd prefer the clean webrip because the TV broadcast has the Epix graphic on it and occasionally has "join the conversation on twitter" graphic that pops up several times. My bf downloaded a webrip 5gb hd file torrent from somewhere lastnight and that looks perfect and will do until the dvd/bluray release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Since I didn't see the show live and this was really my first experience with the MDNA tour, I was fucking blown away!

Whatever. I am done bitching unless someone else bring up another point I overlooked. :lol:/> You can call me an irrelevant fag. Its okay. I feel you 100%. I just feel that the entire project has a confused identity. On one hand, it is seemingly obvious that this is a combination of venues (I think even the most casual viewer will see the obvious interchange between stadium, arena...and even theater) but on the other hand, they blatantly tout the show as a single venue (Miami) in the audio. I just feel they should have been a bit more consistent: either use the combination footage as such, but ditch the "Miami" reference, or focus on a singular venue and keep the obvious venue variety hidden better within the editing. The whole Candy Shop/Erotica, Human Nature section is so sloppy I have a hard time watching it....more of this is from Olympia then not and the inconsistencies from main stage projection blocks vs. the cushion blocks used for Olympia along with the main stage screen that reaches the floor vs. the Olympia half screen with the lights below it....followed with a mass stadium shot combined with a sudden runway and overhead balconies just above the stage. I can deal with the "sleeves/no sleeves" bit during TUTR and OYH far easier...lol. It would have been brilliant had they been able to film more of the 88 shows and create one "best-of" spectacular. Still, this is all minor, it is awesome to have such a beautiful capture of this brilliant tour. I think I would be content if they just dropped the Miami references from the audio allowing the obvious continuity issue to then be rightfully obvious. And I say this as a fan who was in the GT in Miami and appears in the film several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterpiece Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I do not like Celebration vs. Give It 2 Me what so ever in the DVD. The original version is much better. IDK why she decided to mix that into it. The concert does not show the backdrops at all in the DVD. So you loose that feeling and the chandler for CS is not shown in the DVD plus the arms sleeves are annoying. FUCKING HELL they had several camera shots and choose those which are distracting. GGW and the opening is 1000x better in person. Great DVD though. Better sound that Stinky and Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has always been a challenge when capturing Madonna shows though, there is so much going on all at once that it is near impossible to properly convey the overall live impression on film. I do not think any Olympia footage should have been used as it was a scaled-down version of the main stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill download a smaller version when its out. you do know less than 5GB would be SD quality? At least 10GB would be 1080p. Plus I will get a direct Blu Ray rip when it is out which will be 30GB at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
