Possibly. I wasn’t even using Adywan’s audio, I was using audio straight from the TPM Blu-Ray.
Wonder how far out of sync the OT opening themes are, since each of them is a different recording…
So I ripped my TPM Blu-Ray, converted the audio to mono WAVs, then downloaded your PCM track and did the same, and threw the center channel of both into Audacity to swap out the opening theme and…
…they’re not in sync. Which I was very much not expecting - I figured all crawls were probably the same length and the music the same tempo and such, so it would be an easy swap. Turns out that’s not the case.
So I don’t have any kind of an ETA on my “fixed” audio track with a less-shitty-sounding opening theme, unfortunately. That’s going to require more fucking around than I expected.
Premiere is tomorrow, right? Probably gonna go full dark from all Internet things until I see the movie next Thursday then, so this’ll be the last night you’ll see me around here until then.
Same. Glad you’re starting down the path toward fixing your situation.
I’ve only read the uncut version, but my mom swears by the original. She thinks the uncut version is too bloated.
For my money it’s one of King’s best works, so YMMV.
Annihilation looks somewhat intriguing, but I don’t have a clue as to what the hell the story’s supposed to be about.
That’s why I’m so excited for it! Well, that and the fact that I adore Ex Machina and it’s the same writer/director.
Super excited for Annihilation. Still debating whether I should read the book(s) first or not…
Because to the general public, Disney getting ANH distribution rights doesn’t matter since they already own Lucasfilm and make Star Wars movies, while Disney getting ahold of X-Men and Fantastic Four is bigger news.
And sadly, those two things are all anyone seems to be focusing on with this deal…
YEEESSS! I’ll get on downloading it as soon as I get home from work!
That’s a terrible idea. What’s wrong with you? Do it the way I want or it’s gonna be the worst edit ever!
…how’d I do? 😄
That’s a restoration from the original 1977 version of the shot, so I’d say it’ll still be there. (It went missing when ANH was added to the crawl in 1981.)
JEDIT: I think. Just occurred to me that I’m not actually certain that’s true.
Yeah, the “VIII Days” TV spot had something in it I’d rather not have seen, so I think I’m going dark from here on out.
Also, I will leave the link up for now, and if a mod asks me to remove it I’ll edit the post and start using PMs instead.
…yeah, that’s a bad idea around here. Delete the link.
I would also argue that it falls under preservation, as it is an original unaltered scene that was shot alongside the rest of the film.
It’s adding something from one official released version of a film to a different official version of a film. It’s a fan edit, not a preservation.
I would agree if the scene was loaded with CGI “improvements”, but as far as I can tell it’s exactly the same as it was back in 1977. My color corrections and sequencing revert the scene back to what it probably looked like when it was still included in early edits of the film during the post production process. Deleted scenes deserve to be preserved as well, because at worst they provide insight into the production of the film, and at best they contain something vital to the plot that should never have been removed to begin with (compare Blade Runner: The Final Cut to the original theatrical cut for an example of this).
If you took the scene on its own and restored the part that was cut from it (Red Leader talking about Luke’s father), and released that as its own thing, not incorporated into the film as a whole, that would be a preservation.
Not trying to be a jerk, this is a good idea and something I’m sure a lot of people will be interested in, but it’s definitely not a preservation.
And links, or links to links, are definitely against forum rules. Leaving it up risks a ban (temp or permanent).
…fifteen or twenty people that are okay…
Hey, that number seems to have gone up a bit! 😃
Starlight uses Restructured as a starting point, so it already is a combination! 😃
JEDIT: Argh, I’m always just a couple minutes too slow!
I didn’t hate Jurassic World as much as most seem to have, but holy shit does that look awful…
Yeah, I don’t think linking to another site that contains a link to download the whole thing is kosher here either. Let people who are interested in your version PM you for a link instead. And you might also want to consider creating your own thread for your version, too (in the fan edits section, since adding that scene disqualifies it from being a preservation).
Neat idea though - I don’t think that scene really works without the Tatooine Biggs scenes, but it’s probably the one change made to ANH that I’m close to being okay with.
Aaaand that’s it.
He’s said that he’s releasing small files first, and if enough people are interested in those, he’ll then release full-size versions.
Which I think is a mistake, since many (like myself) won’t download a small bitrate version, instead opting to wait for a full-size copy, which might make it seem like there’s less interest than there actually is. But that’s the way kk650 has chosen to go about it.
Um…she’s going to get them to the Resistance, then go back to Jakku afterward. I don’t see any issue there at all.
JEDIT: Neverar beat me to it once again.
Maybe. I mean, I’d give it a chance, but I’d be worried about it turning out like last season of X-Files.
And I wasn’t a huge fan of AD season 4, either.
It may also include a proper Buffy remaster
OH SWEET JESUS YES
and a continuation of Firefly.
…eeehhh, it’s been too long I think. I might be okay with a second movie, but they missed the boat on continuing it as a series years ago.
“Do this!”
“That won’t work, and here’s why.”
“Then do a ridiculous amount of extra work to force it to fit!”
That’s pretty much what I got from our exchange. Seemed pretty demanding and not very much like a suggestion to me.
