Umm, those boxes are quite noticible even if you've calibrated to the THX setup specifications, which I've done.

Oh wait, no, you guys probably don't believe in free speech, and that's probably why you keep bitching at George Lucas for original versions when he's free to release whatever he wants. Fucking communists.

Ah, but what kind of person would use Free Speech to revise history?

Time for everybody on this board to fill up MSNBC's mailbox with our whineyness. I've done it once already when this news came out. Apparently those jerkoffs need to feel the wrath of 60,000 pissed off internet geeks.

Let 'em know how much you appreciate their attention to the Fleecing of America when it comes to Lucasfilm. Once upon a time, they'd actually care about a big company engaged in false advertising. Now they're just too timid they'll piss of a potential sponsor.

If somebody does this, please be sure to specify whether it comes from/goes with the original ADM edition or the DE/ADM Hybrid edition. There are differences in the cuts that will cause the wrong mix to fall out of sync.

Voldemort would have had to commit murder on the grounds at Hogwarts in order to turn it into a Horcrux. My reading of the story suggests the soul has to be split and embedded into the object at the exact time of the murder. Have we had any suggestion that he killed somebody when he arrived?

My guess is that he wanted Gryffindor's sword.

Er... could we have a recap of the Horcruxes so far? I'm a little rusty; only read HBP once...
-Riddle's diary (destroyed)
-the ring (destroyed)
-the locket (with RAB)
-Hufflepuff's goblet

What were the other two? Dumbledore speculated Nagini, which I don't buy. Was there something of Ravenclaw's that was mentioned?

I do think they can be edited together into one film. I'll give it a shot when the new boxed set comes out. I've been toying with credits this week. Does anybody have any DVD-quality stock video of flying through the stars without any other garbage in the picture like credits or ships or other distractions? Something like the clips on this page?

In Womble, export your audio as a WAV file. Then load your new audio and new video into a new, temporary womble project. See how many frames off the result is.

Then, go to Vegas and load in the WAV file created above as a reference file. Hold down the control key while pushing/pulling the end of the WAV file the number of frames noted above. This will time compress/expand the WAV file. Then sync all your clips to this reference file. Be sure to mute the reference file before you export.

Works like a charm for me every time. If you have long clips to sync, it is best to sync them in the middle of the clip rather than the beginning or the end, as they may get "off" a little because of the time difference. This keeps them from getting off a noticible amount. If you have a REALLY long clip to sync, you may want to splice it in a few places and crossfade a frame or so, just to force it to stay in sync.

$178 is the domestic haul. An additional $110 is the non-U.S. box office to date.

I think everybody wanted a bigger box office. Then again, everybody wanted a better picture. I've said I thought the movie was very good, but not great, and far from perfect. I think the box office reflects this very well. $178 is certainly good, but not great.

On a related subject: I've been mixing it up with some forum members at JWFan.net who are claiming that Richard Donner was not involved in the 2001 cut of S:TM. I find it laughable when one article gets cited with an out-of-context quote describing Richard Donner's surprise about the changes in the sound mix, when the very same article and a related article describes over and over his involvement with the project.

Am I wrong for getting annoyed at people who quote out of context for their own purposes and mislead others who aren't diligent enough to do their own follow-up?

The Evan Mather stuff is sourced from the dinky Quicktime, so it's not beautiful -- but it's still funny. But most of that stuff comes from much more pristine sources.

Sorry to hear about the menu problems. It was my first-ever disc so it may not be perfect, but I don't know if I've noticed the kinds of problems you're suggesting.

I'm hearing Police Academy on TV: G.W. Bailey: "Mahoney, nobody [extremely lower voice] PLAYS with me."

They changed "Screws" to "Plays." How uptight were the network censors there? You could say "Bitch" on Moonlighting but you had to change that?

Ghostbusters was interesting though, as they actually shot those lines, rather than just dubbing aimlessly. I remember re-winding and watching those moments trying to figure out if it was a dub job or not, and came to the conclusion that they really shot those asinine lines on set.

I actually considered it a wise decision for him not to announce to the world that he was leaving. That would be a huge incentive for the criminals of the world to take advantage of the situation.

I'm trying to figure out the font. I'm already trying to re-create it from scratch, but that may be pointless if it's just a black weighted version of a regular one. Google isn't giving my any good info.

Edit: I may have found a suitable option. Arena Outline 28 points with a color of 51, 51, 255 looks pretty darn close.

Who out there might be interested in collaborating on a set of titles in the Superman style (preferably the simple-yet-elegant Superman I)? Just as I couldn't do my own SW crawls, neither can Ipull this off. Lack of software for one thing. But if somebody has the tools and the time, I can give a detailed description of what I'd like if you can spare the time.
