Hey, I do not care who likes what, or who dislikes what, my whole issue was the stupid ass comparing of a 4:3 LB DVD project to a HD sourced project, that to me was a dumb as hell comparison, if you guys here think that it is fair, good for you, but I certainly do not, I am happy that people here like Harmys work, I actually like some of it, but to me it is still not OT, sorry, that is how I feel(and Harmy knows this, we have talked a lot in PM's) and yes I do feel it is a fan edit, again sorry, that is my opinion, and if people here feel that this is a preservation\restoration, good, that is your opinion, we can all differ on that right? so in short, it just boils down to the comparisons, to me these are just fucking ridiculous is all, DVD to HD, what a fucking joke LMAO!

sorry Harmy, I will try and stay out for good this time.

Whoa whoa whoa, stop the clock.

You're getting awfully defensive about this.

Calling it a fan edit is kind of silly. It's a matter of semantics, so on some level one could consider this technically a fan edit since it's not working from a single dedicated source, but the fact is when someone refers to a "fan edit" it carries a definite connotation. It sort of implies that someone has taken something and purposefully altered it so it doesn't resemble the original presentation but rather reflects their own specific vision. Harmy is doing the opposite here, trying to recreate the theatrical presentation as faithfully as he can manage. Semantics aside, a project with that singular purpose isn't the kind that springs to mind when talking about fan edits... for me at least.

Then again, the exact descriptor attached to the project doesn't really matter to me in my book. It's the project itself, and its goal - that's what matters.
