Apples388 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Not just "Lucky Star" obvs but most of the older videos.. Yea let's talk about it!
nimos Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 "Casual fans won't notice" so apparently it doesn't matter
Amzer801 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The Celebration DVD was a wasted opportunity, why didn't they remaster all the videos? Why didn't they include the uncensored versions Erotica and JML? And where's the Director's Cut of "American Life"?

Apples388 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 YAY! Another day another CELERY DVD moan thread!!! Keep it coming peepS!!
Guest pieciolot Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Because it's so frustrating. Such an amazing legacy and her team seems not to give two sh*ts about it. Her YouTube channel is a mess too. Try to find I'll remember video or Die another day on YouTube, for example.
Amzer801 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 YAY! Another day another CELERY DVD moan thread!!! Keep it coming peepS!! You seem to be the kind of person who likes to create drama
christopherm Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I know the Celebration dvd wasn't everything it could have been, but I still appreciate it. I enjoy watching the videos on my tv. That being said I need to buy TIC and 93:99!!
M.Dolla Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Celebration deserved a blu Ray release imagine all her videos pre 2012 in HD!
nick00 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Still love it, but if they wanted to keep the track list as it was released, maybe a third "bonus" DVD could have been included to include all the left off videos. Have seen several artists do something similar, so why not Madonna?
madgefan Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Warner really fucked it up that time fellows
kingvirtue Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 That video collection is very poor. I've only watched it once and I remember the video looking very pixelated like a youtube video. It probably would've been better to keep the fuzzy VHS look. :/
surannée Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I was still here when it came out, I think. I was shocked and appalled with the overall poor image quality of the DVD. Maybe it was deliberate? I remember I bought it at the time of the release for a very cheap price (no more than 10 dollars, I think).
promise to try Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Warner really fucked it up that time fellows what I don´t know is if they did it on purpose...maybe the relations with madonna´s camp weren´t very good at that time?
HolidayGuy Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 If I recall- LS on Celebration is the original-original video, isn't it? The one on TIC DVD is that alternate take- though the one on the VHS is the original- I think. Do I have it right? She definitely should have an extravagant compilation of the best videos (or all). But, until that happens, if it ever does, gotta make due with what we got.
horn Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 They omitted "Love Don't Live Here Anymore"! How dare you, WB!
Slim Shady Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Meh i mean.. I wouldn't buy a DVD with music videos unless it was the COMPLETE COLLECTION It's not the early 2000s anymore, you know? When the day comes where it is the complete collection of all of her videos in a great remastered quality then i will buy it
Guest Rocco Papa Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I've watched the Celebration DVD on a HD television screen and still don't understand what is wrong with the picture quality.
Shane Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I've watched the Celebration DVD on a HD television screen and still don't understand what is wrong with the picture quality. This is how I feel when I listen to the Celebration compilation; I never hear the faults in the audio that people comment about
tasteinmen Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 This is how I feel when I listen to the Celebration compilation; I never hear the faults in the audio that people comment about Erotica is very obvious, it's obviously a poor cross fade and clearly wasn't reviewed once cut. I've never heard to problems with Hollywood that people have mentioned.
5iVe Elements Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Oh i thought CELERY was some obscure music video channel
madgefan Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 And let's not forget about that awful cover they chose: Madonna looking terribly sick at how disgraceful everything was. It gives me the 'kill me, don't buy me' feel
madmark Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I've watched the Celebration DVD on a HD television screen and still don't understand what is wrong with the picture quality. It's grainy in quality... at least on my TV. it doesn't look like any other DVD I own, lol. I was kind of pissed after spending my hard earned dollars and it's not even DVD quality image. Luckily if i sit back far enough from the TV, the graininess is not as apparent. AND the sound quality for the videos is stunning.
Apples388 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 It's a celebration ​(bration bration bration bration bration) No more hesitation (tation tation tation tation)

That's reaching IMO.
ratzuo Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I guess I'm just not very picky then. It's watchable for me, so I don't mind. +1 I find the censored version of JML much more offensive when it comes to this release.
HolidayGuy Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 "Erotica" on the CD is silly- why didn't they just take the version from GHV2? I don't have any major issues with the DVD quality. I mean, it's like watching old movies- they're not going to be the quality of newer releases, no matter what they do.
lennylu Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 "Erotica" on the CD is silly- why didn't they just take the version from GHV2? They did fix Erotica and Cherish on subsequent CD pressings and digital releases, but all the other known issues remain. I wish they took care of Music and Dress You Up as well...
Je5u5 Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 The Celebration DVD was a wasted opportunity, why didn't they remaster all the videos? Why didn't they include the uncensored versions Erotica and JML? And where's the Director's Cut of "American Life"? Actually they did. The videos and respective soundtracks are remastered. They just were very poorly encoded to dvd. To put it simple: you can only record a certain amount of data on a dvd disc. About 4.5 gb of data per disc. Some discs have two layers of data (dual-layer) so you can put about 9gb of information in one of those, but it means they are more expensive to produce. Instead of using as many discs as necessary to put all the videos in the best quality possible, they decided to downgrade the quality of the videos and make smaller files to squeeze them all in two single-layer discs. To give you an idea, with two single layers disc the compilation shouldn't have more than around 30 videos in order to present them in the best quality posible. It has 47.
