Geez Spuffure, you are a revolving door when it comes to entering and exiting this forum.
Spuffure, you doing okay?
While the best scenario would be putting Wingreen’s voice back in, I think the scenes would benefit from a current redub from Morrison. His original recordings from 2004 sound very phoned in (hmm I wonder why 😉), and almost as if he wasn’t even given context for the lines we was delivering.
AND WHY DO I GET ADS FOR ‘hOt sInGlEs oVEr 40’ I’M NOT EVEN TWENTY YOU CUNTS
They think you’re into older women.

This is a really interesting analysis of timelines, giving great insight into biblical history along the way.
The incident with Fated-Dualist was to counter his own accusations about a member who can no longer defend himself here.
Did you have some kind of beef with him previously, or was that whole thing about that one specific post? Because if it was the latter, you blew that all way out of proportion, considering it was incredibly obvious he wasn’t accusing the real Frink of being a stalker. His post was referencing the recent “Frink 2” account, since he literally said “TV Frink #” with a typo missing the 2.
Thanks Dek, for your input on things that you aren’t involved with at all.
I’m honestly curious about this situation.

From the tldr’s i’ve read in the dumbsterfire that blu-ray.com forum is currently and the comparisons between the matrix that is an actual 4k remaster, these seem to be an upscale from the 2K DI with some decently applied DNR and sharpening. I like the colour timing but im kinda disappointed they dont seem to be true 4K scans.
EDIT: Wasn’t it officially stated that the non-CGI shots were scanned in 4K for the remaster?
EDIT 2: Looks like they maybe didn’t state anything about new scans. It seems that’s just what the press has been saying without it coming directly from an official source, as far as I can see. This set is looking more disappointing every minute.
Wait I’m confused, people saying Fated-Dualist is a oojason sock?
No. I’m pretty sure a joke was made previously that Fated-Dualist was a clone of oojason when he continued oojason’s informational thread plan. DE referred to him as “ooj” as a joke. Fated-Dualist then responded to DE calling him Frink 2 as a joke.
No accusations were made.
Duck the universe.
This belongs in the Lurker Name thread.
If anyone doesn’t believe me I actually have proof about this
Then why not just post proof?
If you’re looking for a 1:1 exact replica of what aired in theaters in 1977, the Silver Screen Edition is what you want.
If you’re looking for a 4K restoration to bring the actual picture quality more up to snuff with modern standards, 4K77 is what you want.
4K77 is also a “theatrical” experience. The Silver Screen Edition was restored from an HD scan of a LPP (IIRC it’s a dupe, but I can’t be sure), and the scan suffers from some light leak. While it was impressive and wonderful in 2016, I think it’s a much lower quality presentation than you’d probably get from an actual theatrical projection. 4K77 is simply better quality overall, so if someone is looking for a theatrical experience that isn’t reconstructed like Despecialized, I’d recommend 4K77 over the Silver Screen Edition.
The Mondo transfer uses the same 4K master
No it doesn’t. The Mondo uses a separate restoration created in 2006 or 2007 I believe, released as a Blu-ray in 2009.
Ultimately the Mondo is the best looking out of the available HD masters, because it retains all the existing color information, which the MGM master does not. Sadly, MGM’s 4K restoration looks a lot better besides the color issue, because the Mondo has some strange wobbling/warping, some highlights are blown out and clipped, and there’s blended frames that crop up every-so-often (there’s also missing footage but that’s a different problem).
The MGM’s color looks more green than it does brownish to me. If they would release the 4K restoration on UHD Blu-ray with HDR, I’d bet the color could be salvaged finally.
Man, oh man, does the amino transfer of GBU look rough. Shame it’s probably the best we’ll be getting for the foreseeable future 😦.
What amino transfer?
I have the 4K discs, but unless I was misreading, the DCP is 4:3. Am I correct, or did I misunderstand?
Not sure where you read that, but I have the DCP and it isn’t 4:3.
So far as the process went for remastering the cgi effects the 2K effects were printed out to 35mm film and then scanned at 4K…
Technically, printing the effects shots to film wasn’t actually part of the remastering process. During post-production, some effects shots were finished as film-outs, and some were finished digitally I think. To my knowledge, the film-outs were scanned in 4K, and the digitally finished shots were simply upscaled from 2K.
The epilogue text was changed for the 1978 reissue if I remember correctly. So if the prints you saw weren’t 1973 prints the text would’ve already been changed.
For American Graffiti. The clouds and sunset were added they were not originally there. The original shot was different. Its a minor change honestly, especially considered what he did to Star Wars and THX 1138.
Oh, I thought you were referring to the sunset shot in THX, haha! Yeah, on the one hand it’s a shame that even American Graffiti, a non-special effects driven film, had to be meddled with by George on all the digital releases, but on the other hand it’s such an inconsequential change that it doesn’t negatively affect the film at all.
Every single one has that cgi sunset.
What was changed about the sunset?
I don’t think DE was implying that it isn’t something that exists. I think he was voicing disgust at the idea that such a thing does exist and that it’s being referenced on this message board.
I’m lost on things like Whills and midichlorians teaching the Jedi to survive as a presence in the force, i checked out on all that. I like the force to remain mysterious its an energy field that exists in all living things is enough, and that it allows the Jedi to have space samurai/ninja/wizard powers.
Lucas seems to have and i mean it in a bad way, to begin to over explain things in the prequels. To give back stories to every character and cheapen them as well.
This isn’t unpopular.
You can find the original version on archive.org if you want to see it.
I don’t see it there. Just the shortfilm.
It’s in there, it’s the one with about 30,000 views.
Strange. I see it now, but it didn’t show up at all for me the other day.

BB-rey, if you don’t find it there and are interested in seeing it, send me a PM.
Also keep in mind that George didn’t actually want to direct the prequels. He asked directors he was friends with (Spielberg in particular) but they told him he should direct them himself.
you’re whacking off every ten minutes to autopsy photos, I don’t see the problem.
