Personally, I have a real love of classic black and white Noir movies from the 40’s and 50’s, so I decided to take some of my all time favorite films and convert them into modern noir movies and upload for your enjoyment and critique. The first selection is No Country for Old Men, a Coen Brothers classic and a perfect film for the Noir genre. As with any preservation or fan project, you MUST own a commercial copy of the film before you download this version. All will be 1080p ISO images. Thanks and feedback is always welcome and as always, these projects will be on your favorite internal organ shortly.

Upcoming:

The Game
Unforgiven
Minority Report
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Well, I’m an old dude, but every other person in my immediate and extended families is not a dude, so there’s that.

…you don’t seee annnyyything…

War of the Planet of the Apes…I liked it even though it could have been trimmed down quite a bit; a fitting end to the trilogy. 8/10

In the spirit of the new Ape trilogy, I rented the 1968 original. A bit cheesy, mostly Heston’s delivery, but a decent vintage sci-fi offering…
2 1/2 damn dirty apes out of a possible 4.

Have you tried this website:

http://www.printdvdcover.com/

I have used it with good success in the past. You can upload your jpeg and get a PDF which you can then download; it is pretty handy, especially if you want to do two sided printing.

Well, maybe they were just confused. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish Keanu from a dog; their acting chops are roughly identical.

I think that comparison may be insulting to canine thespians…they are far more emotive and natural in their method compared to Keanu, whose acting chops are more reminiscent of drift wood IMHO.

More awesome Tesco marketing:

I think it would make a great Batman Animated movie.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high just yet, but…

Sweet baby Jesus…

I think it would make a great Batman Animated movie.

If I’d known Mignola didn’t do the interior artwork, I probably would’ve skipped this. As is, it’s just an unremarkable Lovecraft pastiche with ugly artwork.

5/10

Have you read Gotham by Gaslight? It’s a classic Mignola Batman one shot…

Thief of thieves vol 1-4
Wonder Woman Earth One

Both are amazing titles, highly recommended.

I don’t use Unlimited, but I use Comixology for all my comics needs.

If you are into indie stuff, the $5.99 per month is a good deal. There is also a fair amount of Marvel, but for a DC guy like me, the pickings are a bit slim.

Was going to make a Family Feud joke and then realized I was thinking of Dawson.

Survey says…

Currently watching “The War” by Ken Burns. Another powerful Burns series and probably my favorite after his Civil War series.

Anybody checked out Comixology Unlimited yet? I will always prefer real paper, but in my current context, Comixology has been pretty satisfying…

Chilly and raining…walking around with coats on in July.

Herein lies the issue with all of the awesome artwork produced by members of OT, it is just so damn hard to choose just one set of covers.

I recently downloaded a pretty large file of covers courtesy of J Fo and found some by Coov that were just beautiful…I changed them a bit to better fit the Despecializd project using copy from sources on OT. I would like to post them; but if it is not within the rules of the board, since they are not solely my creation—more like adaptaions, let me know and I will remove them…

This is an awesome edit! I just re-watched it and what an improvement. I used some different sources to create a bit of art for the edit. I am not the original creator, I merely adapted it to fit this particular project.

My wife wants to see it…she loves wacky, poorly reviewed sci fi movies. And to be honest, some of our most beloved films were poorly received by critics only to be loved by the movie going public, so I guess you never know.

No worries…I am sure you will keep us posted.

Cool…thanks for that. We (my kids and I) love the first two Fraser Mummy movies, so I would be down to donate a few bucks.

Sounds pretty awesome. If I may ask, what is a Scope print?

I’m sure the chipboard slip case boxes are more durable than the v1 ronwilm’s slip case design, but I used Red River’s 88lb Polar Matte Card stock (13"x19")for the inner and out slip covers and they came out awesome.

I also used the 66lb Polar Matte Double Sided (11x17) for the criterion inserts and lobby cards. 68lb Ultra Pro Satin 8.5x11 for mini poster and envelopes.

It was a fun project…came out really nice.

It sounds like a quality project. Are you able/willing to post up some pics? I would be interested in seeing the final result. Personally, I have never really been happy with the paper stock that I have been limited to, so perhaps taking a page out of your book may yield better results for my own set.

Probably Captain America:Civil War would be the way to go, which introduces the Tony/Peter dynamic. We are watching the old ones to try an kill some summer time hours while the kids are on vacation and we are waiting for Homecoming…it is a week late in Poland.
