First post in the thread has been updated.

isnt that the first one he has listed?

Did I cut that line? That wasn't intentional. Musta had to do with body positioning when I extended the scene if I did that. Alas.

Blade Runner is being re-worked presently. Being the first edit I ever attempted, it was authored with the buggy version of DVD Lab Pro (the same one that screwed up version on of BOTF when I muxed in my own subtitles) that based block sizes on 1000 instead of 1024. I'm re-doing it from scratch using the tools I've since learned.

Then I'm taking a much needed break. (I keep saying that, but I never do it, do I?)

Next up: The Terminator, or Remember The Titans, or Austin Powers. What's y'all's fancy?

This scene is in the Director's Cut official DVD. Personally I hate the scene so it remains out. My version is pretty much the original international cut (the Criterion Laserdisc version) with the happy ending chopped off.

Keep your eye on the post.

It should be noted that HP3 is Anamorphic. The deleted scenes were FF but some very nice peeps from VideoHelp taught me how to use Gordian Knot to properly do upsizing while not noticibly losing quality. I really love how HP3 came out. It took some serious figuring because a couple of those scenes were presented as "unfinished." I hated having to edit out the part of Neville losing the password to Sirius, but I was glad to find a new location for the rest of that particular scene. And then Harry's joke candy in the Great Hall ... it was fun finding a sound effect to make that scene work.

I hope there's an hour of deleted scenes for HP4. I fear there will be next to nothing. We shall see in May I guess.

I'm more angry that the cut rate director they hired for HP4 figured he could do it in 1 film although everyone else involved (TPTB) told him to do 2 films.
I wish they'd stop cutting their director's budget on these things and hire people who know how to make movies. I fear the last few HP's are going to be terrible unless that's fixed.

Oh, he's got the biggest budget yet. At $200M, it's costing as much as Titanic. And the director's salary is $1M compared to Chris Columbus' $10M. That said, he'd better not screw this film up. Losing the house elves is bad enough. Losing the Dursleys is sacrilige.

Chris Columbus - $10M + Percentage of Gross (yikes)
Mike Newell - $1M + squat

Heh, would you direct 2 movies for that price?
If I were MN I'd say screw it, crank the movie out fast and move on to the next project that will pay more just for having being attached to a HP film.

I predict crap. Sorry guys. I mean check out the guy's resume on IMDB. The whole budget went to actors and sfx with nothing left for a good director.
I'm not saying I'm going to skip it even if it gets bad reviews (heck I felt Prisoner of Azkaban was overrated and not as good as Chamber of Secrets), but I am keeping my expectations proportionally lowered.

IT WILL DO WELL AT THE BOX OFFICE JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN HP MOVIE. HOWEVER, THAT ALONE WON'T MAKE IT A GREAT MOVIE. I PREDICT IT WILL BE CRAP AS WELL.

I've updated the initial post with info on Aladdin.

Yeah, I mean... that DONNIE BRASCO... what a POS.

So far GOBLET looks pretty bad ass. It looks to be keeping in the increasingly dark tone set by Cauron in AZKABAN (which was awesome). Though, if they don't handle the end scene with Cedric just right I will be very pissed off indeed.

I would very much like to get that HP edit.

Aladdin edit: cool.
I hate when every damn group tries to make press by bitching about something Disney's done.

What was your source of the unedited audio? VHS has the lyric change but not the dialog change. The audio CD is pristine for a good source of the opening song too. And from what you're saying I suppose the video is the Platinum DVD release.
It's a really nice transfer, they may have made "improvements" to the detail of the animation/backgrounds so when it was IMAX-sized it wouldn't look bad. All Disney Platinums are suppose to be visually altered in this way, but I can't remember if Aladdin made it to IMAX theaters since the Platinum series is now being rushed out so they can finish the planned releases before hi-def dvd's come out.

Anyone want to pay forward this one?

Btw, is the Life of Brian the Criterion deleted scenes edited back into the Criterion transfer?
