Hey! Kevin Sorbo is amazing! When he has a fun character with a neat story.
The God’s Not Dead movies and plenty of other Christian films are one of the big reasons I hate the modern culture of Christianity. It’s a bunch of crap.

There is an Australian Blu Ray called “Wallace & Gromit: The Collection” released by ABC in 2016 that is 1080/50i. It has the same music alterations as other BD/DVD releases but is the highest quality with the correct speed/pitch.

I also managed to grab a TVrip of The Wrong Trousers from UseNet which was recorded from BBC One around Christmas 2007 which has the original audio. One problem with this one though is that it has a voiceover/accouncer at the end credits. I don’t have any means of ripping my AUS BD but if anyone wants me to share my BBC TVrip, I’d be happy to upload it somewhere.
I was thinking these two sources could be muxed together without any need to re-pitch anything and create the highest quality version.
I would be grateful if you could upload the TV rip. I could pitch correct the DVD audio and stick it all together.
Are you sure? I guess it never sounded off, but I’ll look into it.
Thanks. I’m not a wizard at color correction, and I still can’t figure out how to bring back the colorful glow to lightbulbs.

I don’t know if thats necessary. The audio track is finished and I doubt the vhs would sound a whole lot better. I’ll take a look at it if you do upload it, though.
Ever since the early 2000s, every release of The Wrong Trousers has had several musical tracks replaced with generic royalty free alternatives, due to copyright issues that were never resolved. For this project, I’ve restored the original audio to this classic short film.
The specific audio clips that have been restored are as follows:
V2 is a 4.14 GB MKV. It is HD, Blu-ray synced, 25 fps.
Special thanks to alloneword and d00mb0yz96 for audio sources.
No, you don’t. I was joking. That’s why I said he should really get the Blu-ray version instead of the 98 SE.
Well, a joke is a joke. He should really get the Blu-ray version, though.
Get 98 SE.
Sorry for the Bottom Junk.
Dek is Facebook, confirmed.
Nice try though, but I’ll keep my personal information.
How did you figure it out? I mean, where did I make my mistake? I thought my plan was foolproof. Alas, I have been beaten by a greater mind. Take me in, Lieutenant.
Well, I was born a few months after it came out. Are we the children of Satan, then?
It’s something I would like to behold for the first time in my life, and 2001’s 50th seems like the most special occasion for me to grab a chance at it. If it comes anywhere near the empty void known as North Dakota.
North Dakota is actually one of my favorite states. It’s peaceful and I loved the time I spent there.
Oh, I do love living here. It’s just that stuff rarely happens here other than rock band tours, so the closest location of interest is Minneapolis. I’m happy that where I live, the chances of a natural disaster ruining my home are virtually zero.

Honestly I don’t get why a lot of people act as if this is better than the first. It was a very good movie, but there were some things that I didn’t like.
I never bought De Niro as a young Vito Corleone. His face just isn’t shaped like Marlon Brando’s, and it took me out of the movie a bit when my brain kept trying to shove their faces together to make a coherent connection in my head. There’s also the absence of characters. This isn’t the fault of the film, but it did seem odd that half the cast just wasn’t there because they all died in the first film. Then there’s the fact that it felt a little too long for not building up to anything nearly as grand as the final act of the first film. The first film felt so perfectly coordinated, but this just felt like the story sort of fizzled out.
It was good, but I’m not sure I can see myself returning to it after watching the first film again. Some stories are better left without sequels, and I think this might be one of them, despite popular consensus.
★★★☆
I feel kind of odd about this one. It was really great, but something just felt off in the pacing and story building. I’m aware of the eternal debate around this movie, and I think I’m leaning slightly toward the negative side. The first half of the film is fantastic, but it felt underdeveloped in regards to the characters.
Joker was obviously supposed to be the protagonist since we have his voice-over and the story follows him into Vietnam, but that felt really weird to me since I was never given screen time with him to actually get to know him as a protagonist. He was introduced, but we never meet him. He’s just there, and the narration feels disjointed from anyone I’m supposed to care about because of that. It doesn’t help that the entire boot camp segment is centered around Gomer Pyle, making it seem as if he’s supposed to be the character of interest. I know I felt more interested in him than Joker and Cowboy.
The change to the second half of the film also felt a little odd and without breathing room. It goes straight from the end of a climactic end to the first act of the story, and then suddenly Joker is out in Vietnam. I feel like there should’ve been something there to bridge the gap. Even a “Part II” title card would be enough to make it seem less awkward.
Ultimately, despite some good stuff happening in the second half, the film probably should’ve been just the first half, but longer and more developed. It’s still pretty great as it is, though, and I’m sure I’ll come back to it some time.
It’s something I would like to behold for the first time in my life, and 2001’s 50th seems like the most special occasion for me to grab a chance at it. If it comes anywhere near the empty void known as North Dakota.
EDIT: And another point to the theatrical experience, I’ve been to seven films in theaters since 2015, all of which would be considered more popular to the average crowd, and I never ran into annoyances caused by others in the audience. Literally the only problems were caused by the actual theater.
I can’t imagine why the disgusting slob type crowd would be filling a theater to see 2001 in 70mm.
I’m gonna be mad if 2001 doesn’t show somewhere in Minneapolis. I think that’s the farthest my Mom would drive me (said the person who should already have a job and a license and car by his age).
I grasped the written form of English straight from Dr. Seuss’ Hop On Pop.
How about everyone else?
Cool, thanks. I’ll have a look at that.
What we’ve got here, is a failure to accumulate.
Thanks!
Here are some direct comparisons between my new regrade, the 35mm frames, and the BD:

I need to figure out how to bring the glow back to those lights without ruining the saturation in the rest of the film.
If you’d like to check out my previous finished version which has less muted colors, just PM me for the MEGA link. It’s 29 GB in 8 rar parts.
I actually used the audio from your release because I had it handy, and I don’t plan on changing anything, so my V2 will also be synced the same
Yeah, this is meant to specifically approximate the look of a 35mm print. More precisely what I believe a print of Terminator looked like based on the evidence I’m aware of. That’s why it has that contrasty, semi-washed out look, with more muted colors than most home video releases have. Your regrades are usually based more around making the Blu-ray more neutral and natural by fixing the odd color biases present on many modern releases, and I just prefer the high contrast 35mm look with a purist approach to color.
I’m interested in what your V2 will turn out like, since I used to watch your first version before starting my own project.
