Hello everyone ! Long time no see ! After my TV completely died, I have been busy to buy a projector ( Projectors : HU80KS (HU80KA) VS EH-TW8400 (EH-TW9400)), and change everything in my settings. I also had to buy a HDMI splitter (Orei, very happy with it !) to connect my PC. (As I have now 3 sources out : projector, PC screen and capture card.) Now, everything is back to normal ! Then I can share with you my captures and review (in french only !) Movie : Tous les matins du monde (460 001) PAL LD player : LD-V4300D (Video out) Deinterlacer : Lumagen 2144 in movie mode Capture card : Live Gamer HD 2 Movie size : Letterbox review in french : https://retro-visual.jimdo.com/laserdisc/une-semaine-un-film/tous-les-matins-du-monde/LD Quality : 3.5/5 A good quality movie for a PAL LD ! Can't beat NTSC movies on LD-X1, CLD-959 although.

I added a newcategory on my website ! the thema is : "Pole dance in LD movies"2 purposes : 1. getting an good excuse to take capture. 2. proving there is a cause and effect relationship in a movie between pole dance scenes quality and the mediocrity of the movie . Here is my first capture : a very good Pole dance film in my opinon, in a very bad movie : Species II ! link to my page : https://retro-visual.jimdo.com/laserdis ... ld-movies/my capture : LD reference : PILF-2724 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen Lumagen mode : video Contrast : high Scene : Face A / min 53" scene length : 30 seconds sexy : ★★★★★ dance performance : ★★★★☆ camera / picture : ★★★☆☆ A very good pole dance scene in a passable movie. A little bit short, but the rhythm and choreography are good. The dancer is skillful and beautiful. Click on the image to see the video : have a good time ! Edit : I think there is a long version of the scene at the end (cut scenes) of the LD. I will check this week end.

Pole dance scene in Cyborg 3LD reference : MGLC-99139 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen Lumagen mode : video Contrast : high Scene : Face A / min 16" scene length : 82 seconds sexy : ★☆☆☆☆ dance performance : ★☆☆☆☆ camera / picture : ★★☆☆☆ A very bad pole dance scene in one of the worst movie ever. Poles are even not real poles, just plastic bars. The girls can't do anything with that. The dancers are hired only for their artificial too big breast. They don't have any knowledge or dancing skills. The idea of "neon pole" is not a bad idea, as it has a certain artistic sense. But that's all. A girl is kicking a bad boy at the middle of the scene. It was fun ! Click on the image for watching the video :

Thank you forper ^^ ! Here is a different cut of the Species 2 scene. I found it at the end of the disc in cut scene bonus ! Species II (cutscene)LD reference : PILF-2724 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen Lumagen mode : video Contrast : high NR : High (bad video source) Scene : Face B / min 42" scene length : 57 seconds sexy : ★★★★☆ dance performance : ★★★★★ camera / picture : ★☆☆☆☆ The total length performance is really impressive, but this cut has been shot by an other camera in a poor definition. 4/3 size, and point of view is far from the quality of the shot taken for the movie.

Berverly Hills CopLD reference : PILF-2043 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen 2144 Lumagen mode : video Contrast : low Brightness : high Scene : Face A / min 51" scene length : 77 seconds sexy : ★☆☆☆☆ dance performance : ★★☆☆☆ camera / picture : ★★★★☆ Berverly Hills Cop is clearly not a bad movie, and this is maybe why the pole dance scene doesn't have a real erotic potential. The dancer seems to have dance skills, but there is not enough time to appreciate it. The place and the scene is just a pretext here to inject a dose of humour in the relation between the main characters. Click on the image to see the video :

OK ! Let's go for showgirls ! Took me some hours to do this job, but proud of it Showgirls (Nomi's dance 1)LD reference : ML105525 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen 2144 Lumagen mode : auto(15) Brightness - contrast : normal Scene : Face A / min 25" scene length : 118 seconds sexy : ★★★☆☆ dance performance : ★★★★☆ camera / picture : ★★★★★ Nomi's dance in Showgirls is really disturbing, because she doesn't dance as a professionnal, but as a real actress. We can cleary feel in this scene that she does'nt want to stay in that world. She is searching for something more artistic, maybe... The result is a good dance scene, but certainly more impressive than sexy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Showgirls (Background)LD reference : ML105525 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen Lumagen mode : auto(15) Brightness - contrast : normal Scene : Face A / min 27" scene length : 77 seconds sexy : ★★★☆☆ dance performance : ★★★☆☆ camera / picture : ★★★★★ This "background pole dance scene" is more classical, with professionnal dancers, doing well their job, but only here to create an atmosphere for the movie. Dancers are good. Choregraphy could have been more elaborate, but the function of this scene is to focus on Nomi, not on background charaters. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Showgirls (Nomi's dance 2)LD reference : ML105525 Player : CLD-959 Upscaler : lumagen 2144 Lumagen mode : auto(15) Brightness - contrast : normal Scene : Face A / min 37" scene length : 43 seconds sexy : ★★★★☆ dance performance : ★★★☆☆ camera / picture : ★★★★★ In this scene, Nomi is becoming less and less professionnal, more and more sexual and agressive. This is her last pole dance scene, and we can feel this is the limit before something bad happen. She seems to be sick of this world. She pulls her partener by her hairs, scold bar clients, does a really angry face. In those conditions, she is so intense (and her body is so perfect !) that it's impossible to not fall into her charm !

It’s hubris totally off the (probably white) rails. It pretends to lampoon something but actually IS the exact thing it’s claiming to send up. I mean, everyone involved should have never worked again and the pervert dads that made this movie an international hit on video will probably burn in Hell but its hilarious. A mega budget version of The Room. From an LD a perspective the 5.1 is cool and the transfer is very nice.

From an LD a perspective the 5.1 is cool and the transfer is very nice. As someone with a guaranteed no interest in all the gratuitous t***y in this movie (bye bye pervert dads) it still strikes me as some kind of strangely inspired/misunderstood genius on Paul Verhoeven's part. I never saw it (but heard so much either way) before getting it on LD. So much of his feel/style of Robocop/Total Recall/Starship Troopers is all there in this, just with lots of t*ts and the wonderfully ott delivery of Elizabeth Berkley as Nomi Malone. People seem to fall into two camps as to whether PV was trying to be all totally serious or had his tongue firmly in cheek. I go with the latter - especially because of how so many similarities I feel with the aforementioned movies; all of which feature a level of overblown comic-like storytelling (not to mention some bloodthirsty violence which also makes it's way in a very confronting way into Showgirls).

I guess I just gravitate towards genre trash rather than just plain trash. In the other hand, I think it probably just struck me as an awful movie, rather than movie that is enjoyably awful.
