Last I checked the torrents I had running were still active.

So that means their tracker is still active, for old torrents?

I suppose.

Turn on your PMs

Edit: I thought they were hosted out of Brazil now, why would they still block Canada? Maybe I'm wrong.

Ok, I put this up as a fresh torrent on demonoid, hopefully it will last longer there.

pupil, hope you don't mind, I used your very good description in my demonoid post.

I'll let 'er rip for a while, then cut it loose, as it were ...

Cheers, etc

I just seeded 100% to someone; Krokodyle, was that you?

Anyway, I have shared this f*cking great movie many times now, but I'm out—

Has anybody message'd magnolia-fan about this yet?
(magnolia-fan is the high bidder)

What if they are ignorant of the bittorrent/usenet/sharing universe? Whaddaya do then? I myself, not so many years ago, have purchased bootlegged items through ebay, because I wanted them badly enough, and didn't yet know how else to get them. Still, I probably never payed much over $20 or so ...

Stupendously great conversion job, and—well, the movie is it's own thing ....

Me, I enjoy it as a colossal miscalculation. A very enjoyable one, indeed.

Thanks!

Thank Zeus about that. I was worried.

I haven't seen the cover art created for dark_jedi's Howard HD2VD, is the ebay seller displaying the same art?

They do have the same Monster Squad art as dark_jedi's version, on their other item ...

Right?

"Put your money where your mouth is" means roughly "don't talk about it, do it".

Quite a common phrase, actually. But I quibble.

... wow ...
(gathers his breath)
just, ... wow ...

I just watched this for the first time, and I know what it's like to see a movie when you're 6 years old and have a sentimental attachment to it, but ...
... wow ...

This movie is a staggering, monumental, mind-scorching ode to wrongness and miscalculation. This movie aggressively mis-fires on all available cylinders, then passionately seeks out new cylinders on which to further mis-fire.
(What's with the mix of adult situations (in the first half hour or so) and sub-12-yr-old humor? Who ever said "sleazoid", even in the '80s?)

If Milton Berle, Morey Amsterdam, Salvador Dali, and that guy who did the costumes for 'The Carol Burnett Show' got together and wrote a script that they thought would go over well in the '80s, it might look like this. As realized by ILM, of course.

Here's a fun game: Whenever a character in this movie says "ducky", "ducko", "quack-fu" or variants thereof, drink an entire bottle of vodka. Make it a good brand. You're not getting those brain cells back, either way.

To sum up, FANTASTIC.

dark_jedi, a totally amazing job on the transfer, cheers.

This makes me itchy to do the transfer again properly.
It just isn't in the cards right now ...
Ok, I'll stop grumbling ...

I would love to be able to do it with MP3s as well, but I ain't supporting the rotten Apple to do it. I'm no traitor!!!

iTunes is free and you can burn right from the program, whatever your filetype is, gapless.
Just keep it on the down low, nobody will know your dirty secret.

Ok, I'll put it up in a day or so when other stuff is finished.

As far as the quality, it's the old syndrome of learning to see something, then not being able to un-see it. There is a fine mesh of dot-crawl over the whole thing, most noticeable of course when you watch on your computer monitor.

Not to mention the fact (which I shall now mention) that it remains at 29.97fps instead of being ivtc'ed to 23.98fps, so you have interlace artifacts on a progressive monitor, and it was a larger file than necessary which had to be compressed into the same DVD space. (That being said, BitVice did a bang-up job of compressing it.)

Using your regular old TV is best for this one!

It's 4.29 GBs, I'll let you know when I post it to demonoid.

Really? Woohoo! Can I get it anywhere?

I just watched it again, and it looks like shite. It was one of my first laser transfers, before I knew how to fix dot-crawl and do inverse telecine and other stuff.
Damn! Not something I would post anywhere. I did a nice job of stitching it all together, too!
I need a drink.
