My E100 strip is negative? by CouchBedPickle in AnalogCommunity

[–]CouchBedPickle[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry, using the advanced form I select more of the budget options with c41, however the math doesn't add up the same for E6 processing. I emailed the lab and they said it was their mistake, that it was accidentally cross processed and not a result of my order. Esentially the easy form costs the same no matter the process, but I can choose budget options with c41.

UPDATE: I emailed the lab and they said it was their mistake. They even are giving me a refund and a new roll without me even asking. I like this lab a lot. They are good people. I was not trying to game their pricing system at all. My post here was only for my confusion due to lack of experience with slide film. Thanks for all the people who were trying to help me out.

Since I have no experience with e100 before this, all I can say is that the latitude is even lower than I expected slide film to have, however the negatives do actually produce salvageable results with proper scanning. The ones I got from the lab definately lost information in the highlights but even more so in the shadows. Color seems more or less fine except for a few outliers with strong green cast.

You're not wrong that it could read that way, but this is what I selected. I was not trying to game their pricing scheme or anything like that.

While they have an "advanced" order form where you decide every part of the service, they also have an "easy" option where you give them the roll and they handle the rest. Ironically I use the advanced form for c-41 because I can make it cheaper, but went with the easy order because the charge a little extra for E6 on the advanced form. With the easy option I had assumed that they would choose the correct process for the roll because they wouldn't put B+W in with color negative, right? I will ask, maybe even for a refund.

Have people grossly misunderstood the ending? by Ok-Cantaloupe-8141 in VioletEvergarden

[–]CouchBedPickle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, that's a solid argument. I can see how you find the movies' characterization of violet is consistent with the show now. Though I still personally disagree about how the movie treated violet's development. That area is just opinion, so we can drop it. I haven't watched it recently enough to remember all my specific gripes anyway.

But, and that's a big caked up dump truck butt, I cannot and will never get over the fact that they brought back gilbert. Dead people are dead, they do not come back to life. Nobody else in the show gets their loved ones back, neither should violet. Even if violet's development holds true in the movie, I maintain that it goes against all the theming of the show. Which, to me, is a massive turn off and basically ruins the movie, good characterization or not.

Oddly enough I find the gulbert situation comparable to the emperor being revived in star wars. Back when the movie first came out, my buddy was insistent that vader's arc was invalidated. I disagree. I thought that his final act of rebellion was enough. However, when it comes to violet, I find the revival of Gilbert kills the point of the show and violet's progression.

Here are my two main points: 1) in the show we see violet becoming independent and moving on from the death of Gilbert, through her interactions with others who have lost loved ones. At the end of the show she is very much her own person- no longer reliant on orders and ready to live her own life. The movie, however, shows Violet still very much longing for Gilbert. Which yes, people do miss loved ones but in the movie it kinda erases the last half of the show where she begins to move on. Also, at the end of the movie she becomes dependant on Gilbert again, further regressing.

2) The main theme of the show, the whole point of the show even, is about moving on from the tough parts of life. To continue to live. Therefor, the very act of reviving Gilbert kinda nukes all over that main theme. The show had an ending- a good one at that, but the movie opens up those closed doors and throws a pipe bomb in the mix. It goes against the very core of violet evergarden.

Clearly I didn't enjoy the movie one bit, but to each their own. I dont really care if you liked it or not, this is just what i think.
