I was about to say that we must have the same version, but I just thought I'd check to make sure, and as it turns out while my copy still has the shitty menus I don't have the screensaver running at the end of it. Is there any other way of finding out if we have two different versions? My God, that documentary disc is addictive. I only put it on to check the screensaver and ended up watching it for a half hour.

I totally agree with pooling our resources and purchasing a set, unfortunately having just lost my job & having no money currently coming in, I really can't see a way of helping to finance this project. That's not to say I wouldn't put up some cash when I have it. If you (or someone else) could buy the LD from Ebay and then I'd reimburse part of the cost when my situation is more stable.

Yes, that would be possible, and it's a project I'm already taking on from Garrett's (ocpmovie) DVDs. They're on their way to me and I plan to re-author the movie disc with the commentary as an alternate track.


Cool, I shall wait for news of this update. I'm assuming that I have the same set as Garrett's as his doesn't have the commentary either. Do you know where he got his?
Whilst searching for a decent cover for my set (the one I got with mine was shit) I found one for a 3 disc DVD set. Disc 1 was the movie with the commentary track, disc 2 is the 4 hour documentary and the third disc was deleted scenes, bloopers & trailers.

Are you planning to remaster the other extras? And what about the 5.1 audio track?

Cuz I'd kinda like as much of this movie as possible.

Finally got my copy of The Frighteners LD Rip delivered. The quality is OK, having not watched a laserdisc in fifteen years I can't really compare it. Needless to say it looks quite grainy, certainly better than VHS though. There's a very basic menu (blue screen with a "Play Movie" button). It doesn't contain the commentary as I hoped it might. There's only 2 channel sound throughout whereas the official DVD (and I'm assuming the LD) has a 5.1 soundtrack. The 4.5 hour documentary which is supplied on a second disc again has the same issues with regard to the grain as the first disc does. Whilst I'm not complaining about the rip as it certainly is watchable, has anyone got (or can get) a better looking version?

Reading back through this thread it's only ReverendBeastly who has the commentary on VHS, could you rip the commentary from your VHS copies? And I'll mail you a copy of the movie, after which you merge the two together. Would this be possible?

With regard to the Frighteners directors cut & the documentary, I've just purchased the laserdisc rips from a seller on Ebay. Normally I wouldn't, but it's not something I wanted to wait for. I'll post back here when I've taken delivery & watched it. If it's any good I'll be willing to run a few copies off and post them out for others to torrent.

<strong>The &quot;Dr. Gonzo&quot; Trilogy DVD Info and Feedback Thread</strong> (Released)

I've lurked for a month or so now, read pretty much every post in this forum & I think this might be my first post. I've downloaded the Editdroid, Farsight & TR47 sets. I've just finished the Dr. Gonzo version of A New Hope, I have to say that this version is my favourite so far. When I first put the disc in my machine I thought there was a problem as it played the trench run footage first. I guessed I'd screwed up burning the disc somehow. When I realised it was a Star Wars THX trailer my jaw dropped (literally). WOW!

The quality is stunning. Thank you.
