...I don't think ANY of us could've imagined Lucas suddenly cashing out of Star Wars altogether and selling to Disney.
A black shadow of sadness crept over me the other day, when it occurred to me that I will be bitter about this for the rest of my life, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.
I think your avatar needs a drop shadow, now.
I stand corrected...I already had an account at Reddit. Weird.
Zero posts and one karma.

Hopefully Disney will knock on your door and make an offer.
They'd have to bring a handful of Fox's lawyers and a mountain of paperwork with them =| And one of those cutesy Tinkerbell castle videos to splice into the beginning of the film.
Disney doesn't care about Star Wars (the film).
Mike cares about Star Wars.
That's how it's going to be better.

And with just a few seconds on the remote and the projector is switching to 1.78 or vice versa. No manual zoom here :D
We kept it set to fullscreen, so movies always filled up the entire width of the screen. No buttons to press at all, not even for non-anamorphic movies or 1.66:1 like Nightmare Before Christmas.
!!!

The description says it's a UK DVD.
My mistake. When I searched for "brave toaster laserdisc", it was the very first result, so I just assumed that YouTube wasn't a dirty filthy liar... *flips out* THANKS A LOT, GOOGLE.

Quality looks good judging by screenshots of an XviD on RuTracker (R2 video and audio + other sources for the dub tracks).
The YT video looked like it had lots of interlace ghosting (or whatever it's called, I can't remember). The XviD isn't like this?

I recently bought a 2.35 screen for my CIH set up and it's awesome with scope movies. I have both Dark knight movies on BD and it's a bitch watching them this way with the changing aspect ratio. The picture spills on the walls when the IMAX scenes appear
I didn't know they made wide screens for projectors. My friend had an old-school portable screen, and once we got the DVD player's aspect ratio set up correctly, switching between widesreen movies and fullscreen ones (or TV shows) was always effortless.
We even tried projecting a few VHSes, it wasn't as bad as you'd expect.
Guess I have to sign up for Reddit, then =|
...don't expect me to post pictures of my wang, though >:(
I'm serious, guys.

You mean the extra content? What's to restore, they look glorious!
Some people don't like films unless they've had all of the dirt and grain scrubbed out until it looks like waxy video. *shrugs*
If I wanted that, I'd just watch the GOUT or Lowry.
Aside from the severe color fading, this looks way better than less popular films I've seen at the cheap theatre on 35mm (which sadly has recently switched over to digital). I can't wait to finish watching it later...but I have to... =/
Wow, no wonder I haven't been able to log into the forums for the past week.
Shame there's not much color left, but I'm sure this will be a great supplement to the Puggo (until something better comes along, at least).
Why Reddit? Is it "safer" there or something?
I would wager money that the LD is the same shoddy master as the VHS and the DVD.
That is, unless YouTube was lying to me and it wasn't actually VHS footage.
Edit: Here's a PAL LD capture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vr8ln8B-8g
Either it's a lot less wavey than the DVD, or my memory is making the DVD a lot worse than it really is.
Edit 2: Nope, it's not just my memory. Here's one of the VHSes (NTSC?) and you can clearly see it rocking like a ship on a stormy sea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcDA-eG9hTw

Are we certain we've found all of the differences, though? Wasn't that last one discovered only recently, and very difficult to spot?
It's the dirt and scratches they cleaned out of the print today.
It isn't only the DVD; according to YouTube, the VHS is also bad.
I was trying to stabilize this a while back...it took a while to get the stab AVIsynth script to work, and once I got it working, I realized that although it did a good job of getting rid of the "jitters", it still needed another pass from a different plugin (I don't have the name off the top of my head) to get rid of the picture weaving all over the place. I was trying to figure out how to work the settings for that plugin before I got distracted by some other project.
BTW, if you're seriously considering this, you might want to consider uncensoring some of the lyrics while you're at it.
Maybe it's Team Negative1 t-shirts :)
God has nice prints of everything.

...official release of the Halloween 6 Producer's Cut!!!
:o
That's pretty cool, but I've already bought Halloween three times, II and III twice, and 4 and 5 once. I don't think that set is for me.
...now maybe if they sold a disc that just had the TV version of Halloween, and Halloween 6 producer's cut, I could use something like that.

But there's probably a better chance of hell freezing over than that happening.
FYI, that happened already.
Can't wait! (as usual)
Yeah, not sure what you're talking about, PSB was blue all over the place =)
At least compared to all the other OUT material it is; I haven't seen the SEs enough times to have a fair comparison there. I've watched Adywan's project once or twice, I know that was very, very white.
Idunno, doesn't seem that expensive to me, for a 120 episode boxed set that isn't even out yet.
But yeah, hopefully it is completely uncut as promised.

you seriously think BluRay wont be a noticable improvement over the TVLand rips or VHS versions on Myspleen?
No, I meant BD vs. DVD. They're releasing it in both formats, but the DVD set doesn't come with all the bonus stuff.
When you think about it, that's somewhere close to $1.50 per episode, or $13.85 per disc. I've seen other boxed sets go for similar prices (with less episodes!)
I'm sure it will come down in price, though...also, judging from the screencaps they've shown, not sure if having it on BD will be much of a picture upgrade.
Whether or not one needs all the bonus stuff that comes with the BD version, though...
