Dreamaster, this version looks wonderful; thanks for uploading it!
May I inquire as to how you applied the regrade and re-encoded?
Darkman (1990) – ★★★★
Just wonderful! One of the best comicbook movies, and it’s not even based on a comicbook!
Toy story 4 is comin YEAH.
Are you complaining?
Dek is, although I might too at this point.
What? How does this have anything to do with Spuffure’s comment or my question?
Toy Story 4, two movies past Toy Story 2, which Dek has been known to complain about thanks to his cat or something.
It wasn’t because of the cat, it was just conveniently coincidental timing that made for a nice little joke. But yes, I am complaining now that you mention it.
As little as I care about 2, and as much as I dislike 3, the prospect of 4 and 5 plus just makes me sad. They can’t just leave an idea alone, for some reason. I mean, I suppose it isn’t as stupid an idea as Finding Dory was, but that doesn’t make it a good idea.
I heard a truly awful version of Jingle Bells on the radio recently, but I can’t find it anywhere online to prove to my brother that it exists. The lyrics were wrong, and were instead like;
“Jingle bells
jinglejingle
jingle all the waaaaayyyy
O what fun it is to ride
in a [incomprehensible word or phrase] Chevrolet!”
It’s not incomprehensible. It’s slurred, but I’m not sure how you can’t hear “57 Chevrolet!” in it.

EDIT: I’m also not sure how it’s “truly awful.” I mean, it’s not my numba-1 jam or anything, but it’s certainly tolerable by my taste. It’s a rock groove adaptation with some altered lyrics, so what.
Almost every time I’ve tried to load a page here for the past halfhour I’ve gotten a D’oh! message. It’s taken me dozens of refreshes just to be able to write this post. Is anyone else having problems right now?
RIP Bernard Fox. I have thoroughly enjoyed his amazing performances, which were usually restricted to “the English fellow.” 😃
I only really know him from Hogan’s Heroes, The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show and M*A*S*H so I was actually surprised to see that Bewitched seems to be his most well known role. (I haven’t watched the entirety of Bewitched, and in all the episodes I have seen he hasn’t been in a lot of them.)
Is the uncompressed synced mono for The Evil Dead still up anywhere? I’d greatly appreciate any help, thanks in advance 😄.
^Wrong thread? Or just Fo?
Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen
I think Cohen’s original recording is the only version of the song that truly does it justice. His recent passing is a sad truth.
^You guys should remove the link from your quotes aswell.
As old as they all are, I still love a good Chuck Norris joke. 😄
^Ric will be cut from TPM:R due to his ban. He will be digitally replaced with Frink.
You people are all Susan.

Finally!

But… it’s pronounced like “jif.” That’s just how words (and acronyms) work, man.
Yeah that’s why I got my degree in Jraphic Design. I love the jraphic arts.
But that’s not how it works. Do you pronounce NASA like “nay-sah” or like “nah-sah”? Do you pronounce SCUBA like “skuh-beah” or like “skoo-bah”?
Generally, an acronym is pronounced the way it would be if a single word. Since “gif” has an “I” after the “G,” the “G” becomes soft. Deal with it.

the theatrical ending is a joke.
You, sir, are deadite to me now.
I’m with ya. The theatrical ending is the best part of the movie…
No way. 😉
I think the double-Ash scene is probably the best part IMO, but I can’t be sure with out rethinking it a little.
…and would have been a great jumping point for another film.
How is it better in that regard? The original ending is a perfect place to continue with another installment from. He’s in post-apocalyptic future (late 21st century I guess), and the writers can take it from there.

I don’t know if I’d call it the best part but it certainly didn’t bother me, I kind of expected it and I had no problem with it. A very good movie from start to finish.
I can respect this opinion. It is a very good film from start to finish (since you’re no doubt talking about the U.S. theatrical cut, I don’t have a direct point of reference since I haven’t watched it yet; only the original cut).
Anyway, I just feel that the theatrical ending doesn’t add up. Not only does it not keep the tone of the first two films, it doesn’t even keep the tone of the film itself. The film is a goofy fantasy-adventure comedy, but that ending is just plain corny. The only thing I give it credit for is that “Hail to the king, baby,” is a funny line, but even then, I don’t want it to end the Evil Dead trilogy.
The original ending keeps the tone both of the film itself and of the series as a whole. I’m sure there’s a reason that Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell have said that they prefer the original cut, despite Sam Raimi admitting that he has a fondness for a couple of the re-shoot/re-dub lines (like “Good, bad, I’m the guy with the gun,”).
It’s nice to see conflicting opinions about this kind of stuff. Just seeing how other people think and react about something.
The Evil Dead (1981) – ★★★1/2
Evil Dead II (1987) – ★★★1/2
I re-watched these, and I have to say that I liked II more this time around, but I can’t bring myself to change my rating due to my nitpick about the abridged recap being too different and feeling rushed. I want to fanedit the recap to be more like the original plan, using footage from the first film to recap.
Army of Darkness (1992) – ★★★1/2
After re-watching the first two I finally got to seeing this one. I watched the director’s cut (original version; pre theatrical release), but I’ve also looked at some of the differences between the three different cuts for some reference in hindsight.
Possible SPOILER talk:
I definitely want to fanedit this one. I’ll want to replace Linda in the opening with footage from Evil Dead II, and replace “I’m not that good,” with the theatrical re-shoot line “Good, bad, I’m the guy with the gun.” It would be nice if I could use the end of Evil Dead II in the beginning of Army of Darkness, but that will be a more difficult task; I’ll at least want to try it, though.
I also want to create an alternate ending, since the original ending can seem unsatisfying, and the theatrical ending is a joke.
Using the original ending, I’ll cut out the first ‘fifth drop’ that he takes in the cave (maybe also shortening the dream montage to remove what is probably sounds of the apocalypse), and when he awakens and leaves the cave, it will abruptly cut to credits before his facial expression reacts to the sight of post-apocalyptic England.
That way the feel of the first two films’ endings will be kept as it is in the original ending, but it won’t be an unsatisfying, unresolved ending. He simply got back to his own time.
^PM sent.
