Well said d_e & chyron, and kudos to dahmage for engaging with Warbler about the topic at hand.

All the Friday The 13th movies in a blu ray box set currently costs anywhere from £255 to £600?! And what individual releases there are come in at various outlandish prices too.

They’re not exactly regarded as genre “classics” so what’s the deal?

The sellers on amazon are surely taking the mick there for the blu ray releases - crazy prices those.

ebay has a few of the dvd boxsets for around £70 delivered new:-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRIDAY-THE-13TH-Complete-DVD-Movie-Collection-Part-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-All-Films/281561974703?epid=2176803455&hash=item418e66c7af:g:EOMAAOSw8d9UtTlw

(have to admit I though they’d be more on the budget scale of releases - around £30 to £40 - and no idea why the blu rays are so much more expensive…)

It was his destiny!

No, hang on - that was Sunday. Hmnnn…

Hey. My image did not take up very much screen real estate.

…and I thought it was funny…

Now I can’t help wondering what the pic was.

It was a sideways bunny tower mate.

A pertinent question would be why were these 2,800 files classified (until now)?

And would the other 300 files - even if released today - answer the questions to which many seek? Likely not…

(possibly those 300 files may contain working protocols and policies still in place today, or possibly names and locations still in use, of which could be linked or other cases & events - so could well be the reason as to them still being redacted or omitted?)

So apparently the JFK files are a thing but not really a thing?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/27/politics/trump-jfk-documents-analysis/index.html

I am stunned 😉

 

There are some interesting things to come out of the release so far - like the British journalist receiving a heads-up ‘for some big news’ 25 minutes before the assassination occurred:-

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/27/jfk-files-british-paper-got-anonymous-call-just-before-assassination

yet still not the… erm… smoking gun…

Apparently this was already reported on back in 2013.

http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/jfk-50-years-did-soviet-agent-tip-local-paper-john-f-kennedy-going-shot-riddle-phone-message-25-minutes-president-assassinated/story-22005346-detail/story.html

Anyway, the JFK files are more interesting than I thought they would be, but not as interesting as all the conspiracy theories promised.

You’re correct, the story was reported years ago - though nothing from the British Secret Service being involved in looking into the call etc until now (I think).

The image itself was mate, then it was quoted, then re-quoted with a change… and likely so on and so on…

yet as requested above:-

Please stay on topic - thank you.

Well in, Warbler - and dahmage too.
 

Lads, the wall of sighs was a bit much - however it is understandable as no-one gave Warbler a straight heads-up as to his question re Garland - instead it was seemingly just joke replies, which were replied to in-kind - and then followed by the bunny, and then it escalates further…

Sometimes it pays to help your fellow posters out, and in turn, help yourselves out too - this is a community after all.

Instead, here we are a few pages on still talking about this - with tempers frayed, people pissed off with each other, going in circles.

Meanwhile there is actually some interesting events taking place in politics across the world right now…
 

Please stay on topic - thank you.

‘Catalan parliament declares independence from Spain’…

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-41780116

and in response…

‘Spain imposes direct rule after Catalonia votes to declare independence’…

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/27/spanish-pm-mariano-rajoy-asks-senate-powers-dismiss-catalonia-president

Given the violence that occurred during the recent independence vote in Catalonia, things in Spain could get very messy…

Apologies for the confusion fellow members - there was a just a little temporary testing taking place.

All should be okay now 😃

😉

(if we had a winky face with those cool sunglasses I’d have used that here)

I’m saying that I didn’t even realize it was a change in the first place because I played Rogue Squadron 20 years ago so I figured it had always been kosher. I never read these manuals.

Ah, the V-Wing - with Cluster missiles 😃

Nice bit of artwork…

Knock it off please, lads.

We were only having a little fun(at least I was).

I know lads - though I don’t (and am pretty sure the other mods don’t) really want to awaken and see page upon page of sighs and bunny tower pics when we wake up tomorrow. Thanks 😃

Solkap, a very kind member of the community on here, has made available the njvc Custom BluRay Set of Harmy’s Despecialised Edition up on Mega.

For more info - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/NJVC-Custom-Bluray-Set-of-Harmys-Despecialized-Editions-now-available-on-Mega/id/57042/page/1
 

Well in to solkap for doing so, and not only for getting permission from both njvc and Harmy beforehand, but for also putting together a quality and useful guide on how to acquire them - and also on how to burn them to disc too.

The Despecialized Editions are still available in their original format - with details on how to acquire them - in Harmy’s 1st post of each of his threads linked to below…

That made me laugh a lot mate - ta! 😄

I believe it is available on the the pirate’s favourite bay of things - and likely other public torrenting sites too…

MKR2 said:

What is the point in making such an edit when its distribution is extremely limited? Why use an invite only file sharing site?
It could have easily been given an alternate title to deter removal from sites.

As you can tell from the 1st post of this thread this Edit is approximately 10 years old, and if you were to click on the username of the author to this thread you will see that, unfortunately, he/she hasn’t logged into this site for two years now.

The answers you seek are likely to remain… unanswered.

I suggest reading through the thread to find if anyone has a copy - and politely asking them if they know how you could acquire it.

Good luck with it 😃

😃

I think Chris has done some work on that - and EyeShotFirst too - though both sets were for dvd covers - though may be of some help/use…

http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1077362

(with this TFA cover, also by EyeShotFirst, to match them - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1075676)

and Chris’ work (the '92 set)- http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-1992-VHS-styled-DVD-covers/id/18239

edit: tommyauck also did a set too ('90 set) - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/DVD-Version-of-1990-VHS-Box-Set/id/48408
