Arrested Development

Arrested Development is currently the ONLY live-action comedy on TV that's actually funny. After this show, the best comedy is going into House, which is a drama, but a funny one. Simpsons and South Park are still hysterical too, and why they're not nominated in the Best Comedy category escapes me.

These shows are the replacement for Fraiser as comedies that don't insult the intelligence of the viewer. They play up to it. I don't know which "blink and you'll miss it" joke was better in the last episode:

The one about "We're absolutely not making fun of Andy Griffith" (the joke being that Ron Howard does the voiceover) or the one about having your picture made with Saddam Hussein is not always a career killer (followed by a two-second flash of a photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Hussein in 1982).

I'll have a go ripping his voice sound files from the game's DVD.


Let me know what you find. The "run and you will be discovered" is contrary to what Yoda and Ben actually do, but if I can find a suitable match of the word "or" this will work great. "Run, or you will be discovered."

Even goes well with "Run, Luke, Run!"

What dialog, if any, did he say regarding immortality in Batman Begins. That is an EXCELLENT place to start.

Assuming we have the dialog in a good 5.1 mix where the speaking is in the center channel with no music or FX it'll be a cinch to move the dialogue.

What about other movies? Rob Roy (which I've never seen)?

I expect both BB and Ep III as Christmas presents so I'll be renting or borrowing until that point. I intend to start the moment the material is available.

Daveytod, what Darth Simon says is correct. It is also possible that your DVD player is set to auto-start the "main movie" which is the longest titleset on a disc. If that's the case, then the player itself is bypassing the menu and auto-playing the disc with the first audio stream selected. If you've done what Darth Simon suggests, (buring the VIDEO_TS folder onto a blank disc) then check the settings on your player to be sure auto play isn't selected. Different models offer and handle this feature differently.

Hope this helps!

Dark_Jedi, nobody has created custom covers of HP as of yet.

Dr. M. The PiF thing is a little broken here in the U.S. for the Saga, but I'm trying to un-screw-it up. However, PiF hasn't been in effect on the non-SW stuff. There was very little interest comparitively speaking but they are floating around. Hopefully somebody monitoring this thread will offer to help, and if anybody is up for getting the PiF thing rolling, you all know my support of it. Given that I've given out every single edit I've done for free, I'm hoping that the Karma will radiate outward and not back inward.

JackLucas, again, hopefully somebody is paying attention and can help. I'll be interested in knowing either way.

PSYCHO_DAYV, I'm still wrestling with Kill Bill vs The Matrix for Contest 2. I currently have more ideas with Kill Bill floating around in my head though Dr. M gave me some bitchin' ideas on The Matrix months ago that seem apropos. As for Contest 1, I intend to submit the prequels and Hannibal with the help of the PIF system, and will be submitting two bonus discs that sort of accompany the saga re-edit as a whole as bonus materials for the saga. Boba Feta has done GREAT cover art for I, II and Hannibal that he's agreed for me to submit. He gets all the credit there, though. In the off-chance I actually win something, I think I'll have it donated to hurricane relief. I really am not out for personal gain on this (though a public apology from George Lucas for the Prequels would be a nice prize in itself ).

And finally, Jay (or whomever) thanks for moving this thread to the "Preservation and Fan Edits" group to accompany the SW thread. I'd originally listed this in OFF-topic when the thread was dedicated to SW transfers only. Since this thread group has changed focus, I appreciate this thread being included where it is now.

Edit: P.S. Original post has been modified to include details on "Remember The Titans."

What was your source of the unedited audio?
Lyric: Original CD.
Dialogue: LaserDisc.

Both thanks to my good man Darth Enzo there.

Btw, is the Life of Brian the Criterion deleted scenes edited back into the Criterion transfer?


Yes. 4 of the 5 Deleted scenes from Criterion edited into the Criterion transfer. (One scene was just TOO bad to restore).

Doctor M, the IMAX release of Aladdin was cancelled, but it had nothing to do with the video release schedule. Simply put, not enough people were going to the IMAX shows to make the whole thing profitable, so Disney pulled the plug. It's a pity, because Fantasia 2000 and The Lion King both looked awesome in IMAX (and they were consistently sold out), and the wife and I were both looking forward to big-ass Aladdin.


I thought it was the Genie who had the big ass.

Up next: Remember The Titans. I've been working on it all night and I think I have a good rough edit. I thought this movie was going to be really hard. Then really easy. Turned out to be somewhere in the middle. The scenes concering Yost's daughter Sheryl were trickier than I thought, as there was a subplot where she was picked up at the beginning of training, then dropped off at the end, when her mom leaves for good. But in the theatrical cut, Sheryl was at training camp as a water girl. I finally reworked the deleted scenes, dropping the "pickup/drop off" part of the subplot, and turning it into one big "I'm moving on, goodbye" scene.

Still, the best scene is Sunshine Strikes Back. That never should have been deleted, as it was a brilliant way to revisit that plot thread and bring it to an awesome close.

Movie now clocks in right around 2:00. Exporting the streams now, then I have to start re-editing the audio properly to match the rough cut. Man this was a good movie. I watch it every fall. Go Titans!

There isn't much difference in I, II and V when it comes to SL vs DL. DL maintains the original, unrecompressed picture quality from the source disc, but that's about it. VI has two other audio tracks and the unrecompressed video as well, but they're merely stereo and commentary options from the source disc. IV is the only one that has genuine audio benefits in the form of all those different audio mixes. The 1997 mix that Neil S. Bulk dug up is a gem. I just felt that IV needed some extra-special treatment.

Glad to hear it's being enjoyed. Wasn't sure if it'd piss people off or make them laugh. The latter was the intended effort, but I called it "Heresy" because I suspected the former might happen. I didn't totally go overboard either. It's great that you can sometimes go five minutes without an interruption, just getting you back into the film, then you get another one.

Chalk it up to years of watching MST3K.

Rehnquist has a lifetime of work on the bench to cite, while Roberts is a relative neophyte. I am surprised Scalia wasn't promoted up while Roberts is tapped to fill the O'Connor seat. I guess Bush realizes that 2 confirmations will be easier than three. More importantly, this ensure conservativism in the top spot for the next 35 years. Political genius. Then again, Hitler was a political genius too.
