A few more Celebration posters have popped up recently. This is the only one I really like.

I’d be fine with that. I want the ANH crawl for internal consistency more than period authenticity. My dream releases would be a standard version with the ANH subtitle and a Criterion-style premium '77 with different color timing and less grain reduction, but I know that’s pie-in-the-sky thinking.

I don’t know what crawl a screening would have, but I can’t imagine an official blu-ray release that doesn’t include both. Releasing the unaltered cuts at all blows the idea that Disney would want to impose one particular official version to hell, and putting them both on there with seamless branching is just too easy to not do, especially since there’s such a difference of opinion about the issue. I think the only real question is whether they use the proper '81 for the ANH crawl or the one from the SE.

Ugh it looks like the in-URL parentheses didn’t agree with the markdown syntax.

This is now my favorite post of all time.

Objectivism =/= objectivity.

I would be astonished if this indicates anything at all, but in the spirit of reporting any and every little change in the OT’s official web presence, I’d like to throw it out there that I’ve just noticed that the poster for the original Star Wars on IMDB has been switched to a different OT-era style. The poster they had originally was already one from '77, so this isn’t really evidence of them walking back the SE like a lot of the stuff I’ve seen pointed out purportedly is, but it struck me as odd enough to be worth mentioning.

Finally got around to Bloodline and I’m enjoying it a lot. Claudia Grey is proving to be the MVP of the new EU.

You cut it at the same point. If the flyover is 0:02:27:058 then you make two parts:

#1: 00:00:00:000 - 00:02:27:058
#2: 00:02:27:058 - End

Many thanks, I think I’ve got it. Now to order some BD-50s.

All right, I’m fooling around with these m2ts files in tsmuxer, and I think I get the principle of what I’m trying to do with the audio substitutions, but I need a couple of things clarified. I’m using the cutting feature to split the audio after the flyover, and it’s pretty straightforward for the first part, but how do I tell the software to cut the audio however many minutes into the second m2ts file, but to keep the picture from the beginning? Do I want to demux to isolate the audio, cut that, and then import it again to join it to 0004.m2ts? Also, if the crawl and flyover is 0:02:27:058 long, do I want to start the audio for the second part at 0:02:27:058 or 0:02:27:059? And I’m assuming when I have these new m2ts files, I can just swap them with the old ones in the BDMV folder? I get that this isn’t really the place to ask for technical walkthroughs, but I figure a good amount of folks here are probably trying to achieve the same thing. I’m happy to move this to a PM if anyone would like to help me out without further cluttering the thread.

I’ve asked this twice before and it’s gotten lost in the shuffle, but now that I actually have the thing it’s become more pressing. Can someone tell me whether it’s possible to mux the 5.1 into the existing BD with the seamless branching using some manner of freeware, or am I going to need to make an MKV?

Just got out of Lawrence and it might have been my favorite theater experience ever. The crowd was so much more into it than they were four years ago at the Regal. Highlight was the applause on the “and introducing Peter O’Toole as T.E. Lawrence” title card.

Also, I just bought a ticket for a screening of Lawrence of Arabia at one of my favorite independent theaters tomorrow night. Can’t wait. I saw it on the big screen a few years back when the 50th anniversary restoration came out, but that’s a movie that I’ll go see as often as theaters want to show it.

Coolidge Corner? Damn, I haven’t checked their schedule in awhile and already made plans for tonight. Maybe next time (I did already see it a couple years back at the Brattle though). Lawrence of Arabia is one of my all time favorites.

Yep, love the Coolidge. I used to live close enough to walk, I saw Breathless and Metropolis there that year.

The Graduate again.

“National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)”, “Stripes” (1981) and Caddyshack (1980)
These movies are regarded as comic gold, but I think they are turds.

This. Most of those classic 80s comedies do nothing for me.

I felt like watching a film from the original timeline.

Fair enough, though I feel “timeline” and continuity in general mean very little in this series.

Exactly what I felt like posting hours ago and ultimately didn’t.

Well if Daniel Craig’s a no-go, From Russia With Love is my favorite. But Casino Royale is my favorite overall.

I feel validated seeing that the ROTS score doesn’t do it for the last couple of posters. I seriously can’t get my head around why it’s so revered here.

Dog Day Afternoon - all the stars.

No actually, we couldn’t find a day to do it that was good for everyone for a couple weeks after I posted that and by now the enthusiasm has subsided.

I guess I’ll hold out until this update comes out to set about getting this. I asked a few pages back, but I think it got lost in the shuffle: how does muxing in new audio work with a complex disc like this, with menus and seamless branching and whatnot? Will I be able to get the 5.1 in there with TSMuxer, or am I going to need something more robust?

You know…I have always wanted to listen to an entire Beatles album in one sitting. The next time I get high I’m going to do it.

Please let it be Abbey Road.

1995 or 1996 on VHS, then the SE in theaters in 1997.

I so don’t understand all the love Winter Soldier seems to have. It was one of the most awkwardly paced movies I’ve ever seen.
