re: FRAPS: I'm hearing really good things about Dxtory nowadays.

Damn! The eBay guy got back to me and "There Was a Crooked Man" has the 90s WB-in-the-clouds logo on LD.

16mm: The renders are done and ready-to-go. I'll have them available either tonight or tomorrow evening.

LD: I've finally temporally aligned all three side1s. I'm working on IVTCing currently. There was a field dropped in the master (i.e., the same field is gone on all three LDs) which causes a cadence break. I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should drop the field or insert an interpolated one.

 Hi! Can I already start looking for 16mm on Usenet? But before I do that as a long time lurker I just want to express my deepest appreciation for what you guys do! :) 

After this weekend, yes.

It's also now available at this mega-cool website I've been hearing about.

Thanks for the tip! But if this is the site everybody has been constantly mentioning around here, unfortunately I've no way to sneak in. Guess I should wait for this weekend to end - what a stupid thing to say though :)

No, my hint has nothing to do with how much my spleen hurts. There's no invitation required to experience its pain.

I think I may have found a difference from the original version: when the naked hologram is dancing and THX is erm... Enjoying it, it cuts back and forth to LUH, contemplating taking her meds. Was this always the case? I have only seen the laserdisc and that was almost 10 years ago. 

Yes, it cuts back and forth between them quite a bit during that scene, in both the 1978 and 2004 re-releases. That's not to say the sequence is exactly the same. I haven't seen this transfer myself yet, short on hdd space. 

I saw one comment over at the Spleen mention the total run time is approximately 85 minutes, is that correct?

I don't know because I didn't remove the duplicated sequences. I'm looking into this now.

LMAO! I have a mint sealed copy upstairs that I bought for $20.

I hope someone archived Steven Soderbergh's trimmed cut of 2001. At the very least, I hope there's a list of changes somewhere.

That's the fan-edit I was thinking of!

Ender, are you also speaking on behalf of your 3 wives? :p

LMAO!

@DE I'm sorry. You know I love you.

Will this bug find its way into the new forum software?! Maybe. MAYBE!

Nice!!! I'm sorry I couldn't help.

You might have a hard time rocking that username. O_O

So... 2001.

What's the deal with that fan-edit that came out a while back, but got taken down?

skoal said:

You're replying to my post pointing out that i misused the word "misquote"?

Yes. I see no mention of taking a quotation out of context in the definition you posted which is what you claim I did.

Unless, of course, you're claiming I actually changed your wording.

skoal said:

Just because you request something doesn't mean you're going to receive it. I provided an explanation, if you don't like it or agree, respond to rather than negate and renege my reply.

More bullshit. You're dancing around because you can't backup what you wrote.

skoal said:

Ridiculing and chiding with silly sarcasm or ironic idiosyncrasies, and especially when the post only includes silly sarcasm or ironic idiosyncrasies, can (pretty much only) be interpreted as making fun.

I'm still waiting for you to quote the post of mine that you claim is entirely devoid of everything except silly sarcasm or ironic idiosyncrasies.

I'm also still waiting for some quotes of instances of me ridiculing or chiding you.

skoal said:

See, now you're just misquoting to make yourself look better. The better quote to do to provide fair context would have been...

skoal said:

Jetrell and Antcu just cooperatively or non-cooperatively ganged up on me and ridiculed chiding me for asking something, then ridiculing and chiding me again, and then suggested I do what they originally ridiculed and chided me for. ...

...

skoal said:

Jetrell and Antcu just cooperatively

FWIW, the whole "-Teams Jetrell Fo 1, Jetrell Fo 2, and Jetrell Fo 3" is a joke from off-topic. I haven't spoken with Jetrell Fo about this at all.

Misquoting isn't the same as removing a quotation from its proper context. Please try to do a better job of choosing your words more carefully if you're going to being so critical of the writing style others choose to use.

Regardless, what point are you trying to make here? How does the context you added alter the message or intent of my post?

skoal said:

and then you suggested I ask for confirmation again.

Did you even read this?! http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Cinerama-70mm-2001-preservation-Is-it-possible/post/773002/#TopicPost773002

skoal said:

Then Antcu (basically) made in fun of me

Where the hell did I make fun of you? Quote the post.

skoal said:

and then moments later Antcu goes on to say that "A person with thick skin" would just ask confirmation from others, but that's just what Jetrell ridiculed and chided me for. You guys are seriously messed up for doing this, it's not only mean it's cruel. And this is not about thick or thin skin, but whatever.

If you were paying close attention you'd realize that the point I was trying to make was in what I removed from your post, not what I added.

Here's what I did:

skoal said:

Jetrell, my posts have (new) information and I'm posting (my) comments and asking for comments as well.

I don't understand what you're saying and I don't understand what you have an issue or problem with.

Maybe you're just having a bad day, but why take it out on me? I want to go through most of the points you made to show why I don't understand and that perhaps my view is just as valid as yours. But time is precious and I don't play well with fire.

Also, you're not coming off mean, just non-sensical and somewhat manic. Seriously and sheesh!

Can someone please independently verify Spaced Ranger's claims?

skoal said:

All in all, I already said what you suggested someone say with thick skin should have said. And after I said the statement that someone with thick skin should have said is when Jetrell stated to ridicule and chide me.

Yes, I know because I copied the first line of my suggested post from your first reply to Jetrell. My issue is that you also needlessly said the following:

WTF? There was no need for this. I don't agree with Jetrell, but for someone who claims to not play with fire you did a real bang-up job at making sure Jetrell would reply to you.

skoal said:

A person who minds their own wouldn't take the time to interject silly sarcasm or ironic idiosyncrasies in a conversation they weren't a part of and if they did interject they would do so with words (intelligent speech) that could be responded to rather than silly sarcasm or ironic idiosyncrasies. I knew to expect this kind of response from some people here, but not you. Wow.

This isn't a private conservation. You're on a WWW forum. If you didn't want people to interject, then your first reply to Jetrell should have been a PM.

I'm sure you understood what I wrote in previous posts well enough to write a point-by-point reply. Yes, I use silly sarcasm and ironic idiosyncrasies. So what? Attacking my writing style rather than my message says a whole lot more about you than my writing style does about me. Plus, you damn well know you're skating along the ad hominem border here. Watch your step!

skoal said:

Lastly, perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think you're the expert on what people with thick-skin should or should not say, nor do I think there are expert on anything related. But hey, I could be wrong.

No, but I never claimed to be. I suggested what I thought a thick-skinned person should have written in reply to Jetrell. What the fuck does my lack of expertise in skin thickness have to do with my post? One does need not be an expert in something to mention it in conversation. I don't (and shouldn't need to!) ask people to show me their degree in CS when they want to suggest some way for me to improve an algorithm I'm working on.

LOL! I messaged a seller on eBay just before you posted this...

Jonno said:

According to CLG, this film used the same version:

http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/09293/11270/There-Was-a-Crooked-Man-%281970%29

Other than that you're probably looking at some sort of colour adjustment (e.g. on Dirty Harry's blue background logo).

Wow, thanks!

skoal said:

You're typed something, but it really doesn't mean anything, especially when taken in context of this conversation. Could you try to explain again?

You're butthurt because:

1. Jetrell took issue with you because he believes that you don't have faith in Spaced Ranger's research

2. Jetrell asked you to do your own research

I don't necessarily agree with him on either point, but it also makes no sense for you to get so worked-up from them. A person with thick skin wouldn't have perceived Jetrell's post as ridiculing or chiding.

Your first reply to him should have been:

I am curious as to why no pirates made perfect rips of the GOUT and used these covers for selling it by itself. Considering the gout and the faces LD use the same transfers, the less informed might not know the difference.

It's highly likely that the pirates are "less informed" too.
