STAR WARS: The Torrents thread — Page 16

The version on myspleen is the cruddier version but with the fun bonus features of the Muppet Show and the Kenner Commercials. The second version to which you refer is positively marvelous ... for the SWHS anyway. Excellent transfer that's probably not going to get much better unless Lucas relents and releases it officially. I doubt that will ever happen, and certainly not without a ton of his revisionist crap.
I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to keep my ear to the ground and find a copy of the second version then.

Thanks!

Are you with me Dr. Wu^H^HGonzo



The first Angrysun HS (@MySpleen) is from KCMO-TV5 in Kansas City, MO if that helps.

The Second Angrysun KCCI Des Moines version sure looks good !
Check out this thread and scroll down to November 20 ... if you haven't already seen the screencaps

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Actually, I just posted the first of two DVD-R's in alt.binaries.starwars. I made a two disc set with "Making of Star Wars" (Original version with The Fat Man narrating) and "SP/FX: The Empire Strikes Back" on one disc and "From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga" and "Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi" on the other. They're taken from the Japanese LD's so there's permanent Japanese subs burned in. I'll be posting disc two on alt.binaries.starwars probably starting tomorrow. They've also been torrented in a couple of places.

I'm looking to replace my WMAR TV version I have (which is actually pretty good).

If anyone can let me know whcih version is up there, that'd be awesome.

Thanks!



Actually - No ONE has this yet a few are in the mail as of today but it's not yet "out there" -

I'm thinking about posting it in a week or so.................

how the hell do you know if this is working?

I got abc torrent program, I've got a torrent file, I've double clicked on it and on the status there is something happening, but I'm damned if I know what's happening. far as I can tell nothing is actually downloading and it's been connected for 20 minutes.

any site link which is a good how to for torrents.

I would really like to know those "couple of places". Thanks!

Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!

Don't those have Japanese Subtitles?

I just created a new Laserdisc to DVD conversion of - THE MAKING OF STAR WARS as TOLD BY C-3PO and R2-D2 and the SPFX of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK both from the NTSC US release of the LD's and I also now have CLASSIC CREATURES and THE MAKING OF A TRILOGY form the US VHS tapes. - The trasnfers were done about 1 year ago and I just found the MPEG2's on one of my external HD's that was out on loan to my brother. - I might put these up on the torrents in December along with the new Holiday Special but we'll see.................
