Sammy,

Here in the US, we got nothing. Other regions got extras.

And there is most certainly a laserdisc release for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Oh, laserdisc... their current catalogue seems to only list the DVD releases.

Great extras, indeed. Too bad they probably lost the rights to them already and won't rerelease this on DVD... just as they won't release their short-lived "Spinal Tap" exclusive once again... :-\

Yup. good thing I'm doing my version

Of course, the editing suite won't be as exciting technically but I assure you, seeing several takes of Keanu doing the same lines (some of which are vastly [read: upsettingly] different). And then of course, the two audio tracks. I'm debating making this a dual layer.

By the way, traders have (and some pirates sell) a workprint of BSD - 132 minutes long, time coded and in very bad quality. I could have had it in a trade a while ago, but I didn't find it worth postage...

I've heard of this and would love to see it. They also sell one of Se7en. Both apparently have atrocious quality so I never bothered but if I saw them, might be a different story. If anyone has a "hook up" i'd be interested.

Just a quick update:

I'm picking up Babyhum's mastering of two of the Indy specials so those should be up this weekend, barring anything else.

Also, sorry for the delay regarding Se7en but I wanted the sync to be absolutely perfect on the commentary and the movie so I completely re-did the first disc. It should be done by Friday and plan on working on the second disc this weekend.

So some good stuff coming up!!

1...2...5? Three, sir.


I'm assuming you're referring to the numbering on the Indy discs.

3 will be The Making of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

4 will most likely be the EPK for Last Crusade.

I am trying to get a complete copy of the "Heroes & Sidekicks: The Making of TOD" special but it seems like no one has one. I know of one person who has an edited version...so if anyone has any leads, I'd be open to it.

I probably won't be #ing any of the other releases besides Indy. I haven't decided yet.

UPDATE:

This is solely for the Indy discs

Discs 2 and 5 will be torrented by tomorrow (hopefully). I'm in the process of sending them to Metallaxis who is so kind as to post them for me.

Disc 1 will be put up as soon as I can get a new one from Babyhum. I fear it got damaged in transit.

But these are the FINAL versions so don't worry about them being out of order. They will all get released.

ENJOY! And as always, feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'm still working on the Se7en disc. It's given me a bit of trouble but everything should be straightened out and it will be torrented as soon as is humanly possible.

I know the numbering system is kinda funky.
I'm going to use "DF###" as the overall system. Since I'm going to have as many discs as possible overall, i'd like to keep it numbered that way. However, as Babyhum has started, all the Indy discs themselves (artwork, etc) will have their own set of numbers. Hope this isn't too confusing but since I'm doing so many "outside" releases, I'd like to keep all my discs together for quality concerns, etc.

SE7EN is now complete!

I will be uploading it as soon as one of the Indy discs is done seeding. Should be within the next 24 hours. Both discs will be together in one bundle since I doubt no one would want one and not the other.

I hope you all enjoy!

UPDATE:

I got a copy of the Japanese 16x9 version of The Game which will be used as my master for the upcoming Criterion version. Due to it's scarcity and the ONLY 16x9 version of the movie in NTSC, I will be making the first disc a dual-layer version with the complete 5.1 movie soundtrack on there as well. Stay tuned!

UPDATE:

DF001: The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark will be seeded as soon as Se7en has a few seeds out there.

I'm currently working on sending The Making of Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade Electronic Press Kit to babyhum for authoring...as well as some other Star Wars gems for his side of things.

That is awesome. I love that movie, and have been wondering about the LD goodies for years, ever since I found out about them. Ransom was another extra-laden LD that finally made its way onto extra-laden DVD recently.
We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Actually, Ransom finally made it's way onto DVD and they didn't bother making it anamorphic (in the US). And IIRC, the original laserdisc didn't have any extras besides the "longer cut." Those extra scenes aren't even included in the new DVD either.

Any chance that you or someone else has the Criterion laserdisc of "Adventures of Baron Munchausen"? That's another one like The Game and Bram Stoker's Dracula in which we're stuck with a barebones DVD while the laserdisc was loaded with extras. Seems like the studio keeps procrastinating on doing a special edition and I'm tired of waiting for one. Criterion ported Gilliam's other 2 films of his "Dreams Trilogy" to DVD (Time Bandits and Brazil) so I'd like to have their version of Munchausen as well. It might ultimately be better than any potential special edition the studio eventually releases to DVD.
