I recommend releasing exactly what is on the discs. Provide the extra tractor beam, blast doors (and, what the hell, "we've stopped") lines in a supplement so that individuals (like me) can mix them in if it suits them. But if you're going to all the trouble to release the LD audio, it should be untouched.

To recap:
1) Were these digital or analog rips?
2) What all mixes are being provided?
mono?
70mm?
1985?
1993?
3) Will they indeed be synched to mux directly with the GOUT M2V file?

Well, there's another issue that gets confused. I believe due process extends to citizens, but not to aliens. I don't think we should be "disappearing" our citizens, but as for aliens, screw 'em.

I'm all for tearing off the fingernails of known terrorists when we nab them. People (on both sides of the issue) are quick to mistake those assholes for the guy who runs the 7-11 whose brother-in-law was Bin Laden's camel salesman. That guy needs to be watched, but not tortured until we're extremely certain he's doing more than running the 7-11.

Womble is worth a shot, though I wouldn't put much stock in it. Try running Womble's GOP fixer on the ripped M2V source. If that does the trick, great. If not, capture the scene or even just the shot in uncompressed AVI using DGIndex and VirtualDubMod. Replace the offending shot with the uncompressed one. It should eliminate the problem entirely.

Disclaimer: I'm only guessing.

Currently remixing the Pulse Leftovers disc. One of the spleen guys got DJ the ambient soundscapes track which is tripping me out right now (and I don't use!)

This alt. version of One of These Days sounds fantastic. One Slip sounds pretty weak though. I could use the one from Delicate Sound of Thunder VHS, but that would be cheating.

Beautifully said. No picture book in the world can capture the essence of what it is like to stand in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel or China's Forbidden City. That doesn't mean such books shouldn't exist.

The Silmarillion is unfinished. Therefore, it lacks that polish and cohesiveness. I personally found it a real chore to read, but not bad looking back on it. Not sure I'd read it again, though. Being that it has a slow building plot, few characters that continue throughout the entire book, and no real hero, at least not one who is in the entire book, I don't see how anyone can do a mini-series with it.

Hence why I think a miniseries is the only way to do it. Since there are lots of individual storylines, each would adapt nicely to their own one-hour presentation. Kinda like From The Earth To The Moon, where each episode focused on a different set of characters, many of which weren't present in other episodes.
