Yeah, I know what you meant. I know you like the DM, and you were helpful, and all that ... it's just .... still annoying.



...



I guess it's not anger at you specifically. I just feel burned sometimes. There have been polls here which essentially said, what is the best fan edit out there, besides Garrett's. What is the best original trilogy DVD out there, besides Garrett's. I didn't wind up being included in the fan edit contest, it just gets annoying sometimes and this felt like more of the same.

Most or all of these were done by accident rather than intent. No one meant any harm, but they kind of piled up recently and made me feel like part of the club of NoHomers. Which is my fault for being easily offended I guess. Anyway.


I know you meant no harm by it so I'm gonna stop being a dick and be helpful here.


Alien 3 is one thing - that footage was at least VHS quality, and I think it was significantly better than that. The Biggs scenes are .... they're web quality, circa 1999. It's not at a normal frame rate (or indeed any constant frame rate), the compression is ridiculous, etc.


But if you wanted to see them integrated in the film, that would be possible of course. I don't think anyone has done it properly, certainly not done it well, but it would be possible ...

Deleted Magic puts them in the right place in the film with wipes etc, but you couldn't use them straight from Deleted Magic, since it isn't anamorphic widescreen. Still, that would be a very good guide. You'd want to take my Jabba scene from Return of the Ewok, even if it isn't anamorphic ... the work I had to do on Jabba was insanely complex ...

They could be cut into the 2004 DVD. No one has done this.


Anyone who wants to try, it would be an interesting project. You can take some other deleted scenes/ideas from Deleted Magic, there's a lot to choose from.

Eh.
