The pre-DVD digital master did have it though.

Did anyone cap this back in the day?

 I have an upscaled HDTV capture. Only the second half of the movie unfortunately. It's from French TV so the logo is not the original but the colours are definitely not the same as the current master so it's still interesting.

I'm just interested in the "To Be Continued" shot. I'm looking for something better than LD. Does your capture have this shot?

Yes, but George was able to copyright droid. All he had to do was chop off the a and the n. Who knows how much Motorola pays Lucasfilm just to use it?

Darth / Frink, could you take a moment and explain what you're talking about with respect to the makeup of Team Negative1?  I see cryptic comments here and there, and I'd love to know what you're talking about.

Thanks!

They're claiming that the original member, negative1, is still a member of the team despite the team frequently claiming otherwise because the team account has written several posts in negative1's idiosyncratic style.

@team_negative1: Yep, I upgraded! The black level on the Pioneer Kuro is stunning and much better than my old Sony WEGA CRT HDTV.

I still have the LG Plasma I mentioned earlier, but it's in my basement now. It's 60", so I went down 10" with the Kuro, but it was totally worth it for the amazing color reproduction.

The ZVOX 580 puts out excellent sound. It's a big step up from builtin speakers IMO. It uses a very sturdy wood housing unlike many other soundbars and easily holds the weight of my Kuro.

It can do fake surround (phase shifting, IIRC), but I view the TV from ~45°, so I keep it turned off.

Note: The bass speakers are oriented downward and they're powerful, so this thing needs to be on a very sturdy entertainment console to not produce an audible rattle.

Could someone be awesome and send me a link to download the Despcialised, sooo exited to see these films like originally intended on blu-ray!!

sharing hyperlinks to downloads is a big no-no.

 Point of clarification - you can share via PM, just not in the public forum.

True, ty.

DrCrowTStarwars: Why do you give a shit about what other people want to do with their lives? Live your life the way you want to live it and let others live theirs.

Also, who said that churches will be forced to officiate gay marriages? This sounds like hyperbole to me.

Remember: Your religion isn't the only one in the USA.

This is unrelated to the previous posts in this thread.

Having a hard life is one thing, but being batshit-crazy is another and there's no justification one can make to use the former as an excuse for the latter.

Dragon Ball Z is the Star Wars of anime, both in a cultural sense and in a Funimation-is-George-Lucas sense.

What do you think of the Dragon Boxes?

Also, I forgot to mention that Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. The Granada series is the best.

Oh, and I almost forgot! Poirot > Holmes. QED

DrCrowTStarwars said:

I could cosplay as him, the fat version from the books, not the thin one in the TV show:)

Mycroft Holmes in the Granada Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett is hardly thin.

Fantastic news!

I'm still not letting you near my neckbeard! :o)

Hi CiaranHaden! You're new here, so I suggest you read the forum rules. Asking for— and sharing hyperlinks to downloads is a big no-no.

I also suggest you read post #1 in this thread to see Harmy's pointers on how to obtain Despecialized.

Thanks!

Back to Star Wars please?

Yes, sorry!

Has anyone here ever played the Japanese NAMCO Star Wars game for the Famicom (a.k.a., NES in the US) that was released in 1987?

Don't confuse this with the JVC Star Wars NES game released in 1991.

I hear good things about it.

Do you shave the hair off of your neck? If not, then, yes, you have a neckbeard. And it looks bad.

As I said: only approximately once per month or sometimes once every two weeks. I shave my mustache every other day, but this doesn't include my face; that is, the hair coming down from my sideburns which joins up with the hair on my anterior neck.

JEDIT: Which part of the neck are you referring to here? I'm referring to the portion immediately under my chin and jawline which stretches down to my Adam's Apple.

I don't give a shit if it looks bad or not. It gets my wife going, lets me be lazy*, and kinda helps me fit in with the other Software Engineers at my shop.

(* I have extremely coarse hair and very thin/sensitive skin, so shaving even with 64-blade WePromiseWeWon'tCutYou™ razors fucking sucks.)

ray_afraid said:

Neckbeards on the other hand... yeah, clean that up.

I shave only mustache regularly and my "beard" proper approximately once per month.

Does this mean I have a neckbeard?

I never ever will buy some DRM-infected "ones and zeroes"

It's useful if your goal is to free it from its shackles. There's no BD of Slaughterhouse Five, but there's a VUDU HDX stream and we have a nice guide here on capturing from HDMI. :o)

I don't see what's pointless about the industry moving toward >8-bit video. Most people can easily distinguish a >8-bit image on a >8-bit display from its corresponding 8-bit reduction. 2K vs. 4K on a 4K display... eh, not so much.

The sRGB gamut is just too small. Hell, NTSC is larger, so we're (finally!) coming full-circle.

I'll do my write-up tomorrow. I've got to go to bed!

Observation: You MUST access and then re-apply your 3DCF settings every single time you want to use the card. It otherwise uses a peculiar second set of defaults which results in a crummy image.

Report: The 550's 3DCF is entirely configurable unlike the 750. I'm getting accustomed to configuring it now.

althor1138: You can force it into 100% 2D mode. This might help with your PAL captures.

I'm a Software Engineer, but I hate that title and prefer Computer Programmer instead.

If what TMZ is saying about him struggling with schizophrenia is true, then this isn't funny anymore.

Agreed.

Plus, I don't think he did a bad job in TPM. Not Hayden level bad, at least.
