Warm Gun

God, I hope this isn't edited like the MDNA Tour I watched yesterday. On average, I would say the shots change every 2.5 seconds, sometimes less. Divide that into 113 minutes and you have around 2700 shots. Probably much more, considering the more rapid cuts. The crazy, erratic editing (sometimes interspersed with slow motion shots) doesn't even flow together that comprehensively much of the time. In fact, the chronology seems broken at times. She holds the microphone for one audience member, in the next shot for another and in the following shot she takes the mic away from the first person. I didn't even realize until over an hour into the movie that part of the audience floor is inside the narrow parts of the stage because of the rapid editing. The heavy color filtering, digitally inserted elements (not frequent at least) and about twelve minutes of black and white with high contrast still captures doesn't really help either, in my opinion. Even a movie as recent as The Drowned World Tour from 2001 has far fewer shots, which lets you better appreciate what is going on better. It's so much more relaxed.
I tried to look out in the credits for who edited it, but if it was there I didn't catch it.

When I look at the situation, it amazes me that Mylene Farmer recorded her concert in June of 2019, had it presented in theaters in several countries on November 7th and released it on both Ultra HD with Dolby Atmos and Blu-ray in December of that same year.
While Madonna's tour took two and a half years to come to a service non-Americans don't have access to, after extensive edits, with no information about a home video release.

These women are almost the same age, but one is far more productive lately.

Not sure what you are trying to tell us.. 
 
No one, literally NO ONE was happy with Sticky and Sweet, MDNA, Rebel Heart Tours being premiered on Sky1/Epix/Showtime.
We simply hoped for a much better  strategy this time and not another tour premiered on US-only available platform. 
Moreover, we had a lot of information at that time when tour will be available on BluRay (or DVD), so we were simply able to buy for example Sticky and Sweet on CD, DVD and BluRay and I actually both all 3 versions. So far, no information about MadameX BluRay. .. Or any release strategy beyond Paramount Minus.
So we, international fans, are rightfully piss*d that we are not able to legally stream or buy MadameX tour after waiting for it for yeeeeears. 
 

That's it? I expected something much worse. Drama queens.

I'd rather have this than something upscaled by an AI program and smoothed out by grain filtering. Where can I get it? Is it available in the music section? If not, I may order it on Amazon.fr at some point. Just having trouble changing the site preferences to English right now.
Don't see anything that says "langue." Crap. Don't wanna pay the higher prices American importers have.

What's with the attitude? If you have the LaserDisc PAL version scanned, I'd love to see/have that one or know where you got it from. Just a pure rip. But an upscale with, I assume, motion interpolation to double the framerate? That doesn't interest me. For all the guesstimates your program did to add detail in between what was there originally, I actually see less detail in your version. Look how the vain on her neck has been smoothed out. How much stranger the hair sticking to her face looks. The reduction of detail in the drapes behind her. The reduction of detail on her right sleeve.


 
 

I didn't start with any attitude and I still don't think I'm giving any lip. This is what I originally said to him after he replied to me.
"No offense to you, but AI upscales are gross."
What was I supposed to do, sugarcoat my disdain for AI upscales? He then got all offensive, with "precious version" and suggesting I wasn't bright enough to switch to 2160p. All I then did in the post you quoted is point out the problems of AI upscaling.

It has an average bitrate of 4.3 mbps that goes as high as 9.6 mbps. That's moderate to high for a DVD.
No offense to you, but AI upscales are gross. They're computerized guesstimates of what should be there. The popularity of them here perplexes me. I'd rather watch the DVDs of her music videos and concerts than the weird looking upscales all over the video section. LaserDisc's vertical resolution is only 425/440.

Wait, you're asking if I'd rather have improved versions of Blonde Ambition, Ciao Italia, Girlie Show or Drowned World than Madame X? Hell yes, give me the classics. But it's not happening, so who cares?
Madame X is on okay album. I just don't care much for the producers (the sound) of her last few albums and I know she can't dance as much anymore after all her injuries, sadly.

Don't try to get BAT on DVD. I wasted my money on a really compressed DVD from madonna-store.com before I realized it was never released on DVD officially. Just look for the in-house promo DVD rip on this site.

The in-house promo DVD version of Blonde Ambition Tour shared here is fine. I could die happy with it. I prefer that show over what I've seen of the other shows in Truth or Dare, even with it being shot on video instead of 35 mm film.
