I’ve started watching Friends for the first time this year on HBOMax. This is the first I’ve heard there is a cut/uncut version.
Since it’s HD, I’m assuming HMax is edited(?)
Hello! Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the unpaired pilot? I have a low quality copy of the re-released “original” pilot, with scenes from the rest of the series edited in, but I would really like to get my hands on the original rough cut if possible.
So… here we are… 2021…
Let me start off saying I’m so happy to see forums like this get updates, no matter how sporadic. It really proves that this fandom isn’t just a quirky little gang of fantasy geeks- It’s a goddamn community!!! And decades later, we’re still kicking!!! ❤️
I could go on, but alas I find myself on a quest- yes, the same quest many of you have found yourselves on.

Is there any hope of getting a copy?? Am I wasting my misspent youth on a perilous & ultimately doomed venture??
Perhaps. But I refuse to give up, I refuse to settle, I refuse to believe this cannot be obtained!
Any help would be so very appreciated. And failing that, some companions in commiseration.
PM sent.
Funny thing, DresdenPhile disappeared without ever responding to my PM. Check your PM’s, Tsavo.
I’d love to see that cut of the movie, but once Peeves makes an appearance, you’re going to wonder what happened to him for the rest of the time Harry spent at Hogwarts.
Then again, what happened to Nearly Headless Nick?
I had to look that up. Ghosts appear in Deathly Hallows 2, I just assumed John Cleese was there, but according to Imdb, once again, Chris Columbus was the only one to use the character.
Now I’m wondering if he shot Peeves scenes for Chamber of Secrets as well.
Me too!:

Hey there Gang!!
I uploaded all of these to the squeedily spooch (the organ site - with closed membership)
JJPotter - the work of the gods!
Did you ask JJP before posting?
Negative
I hope that at the very least you credited him.
Well his name is in the title of the uploads… and in twenty plus years of uploading for the fans I don’t believe I’ve ever not gave “credit” - so I’m not sure why you would even ask.
Because if you had been following the thread, JJP had deleted his files, stopped development and disappeared for a time because of sharing his content without giving credit or asking first.

Has there been any progress in making the next releases multichannel? AAC 5.1 is still fairly small by comparison to other CODECS. I know there was some issue with getting the software to even output in stereo.
As far as I know, the only edit to Melody Time was Pecos Bill smoking.
Make Mine Music had more substantial changes so would be more noticeable.
You could try using BD Rebuilder which can re-encode BD’s and other HD content to a DVD as BD-9 or BD-5 which many players can play.
If you want actual DVD content, your quality will of course take a hit as you downscale to standard definition.
Sorry. I was low on sleep yesterday and complete forgot JJP didn’t extend the first film.
@JJPotter, have you considered changing the first movie to ‘Philosopher’s Stone’?
I’ve always hated that they felt Americans were too stupid to want to read/watch a story that had the word Philosopher in it.
After reading that, I don’t want a director’s cut. He sounds like an idiot.
The original script had an official printed publication. Anyone looking to fan-edit the movie can just pick that up and use it as a guideline.
No no no no. Whatever you do is fine. Your quality is excellent and it will be just fine. I was just mentioning pros/cons of things, but I don’t have any strong feelings.
I watch these on a home theater system with a 75" TV that handles HEVC just fine. I’m just used to people saying that the home encoders of the codec are still somewhat immature and people tend to overcompress thinking they work as well as commercial software.
I do want to mention that some devices people may watch these on don’t handle HEVC so well (if at all).
The original quality is so good. I honestly wouldn’t mind you using H.265 but keeping the file size on the larger side… and maybe not using aac for the audio.
So, what is this I’m hearing now about Roger Rabbit being censored?
I know the ride is… is the movie getting more modification? I wouldn’t be surprised.
And just in time for Hogwarts Day.
I wasn’t aware about Hogwarts Day actually.
The official event aired early this morning in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxzhv8SxGMo
And just in time for Hogwarts Day.
Ok now how many chapters? 22? 23?
Order of the Phoenix has 38 chapters.
Disney+ has the 1967 live action movie ‘The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin’.
I’ve never seen it before, but it appears to be edited for content. Judging by the trailer, it looks like PC whitewashing rather than language or nudity.
Anyone know what changes were made or have a line on an untouched version?
@MattMahdi - Thanks for that.
I know a lot of releases tend to have changes or edits reversed with newer releases because they re-strike prints and can’t be bothered to spend the money to repeat the edit.
I fear Disney may have actually altered the movie in CAPS, making the change permanent. Although, Little Mermaid wasn’t entirely CAPS iirc, so maybe there is hope for it yet.
Anyone know if Disney removed the preacher’s knee on the UHD disc of Little Mermaid as well?
I realize I have done zero research regarding any 4k releases.
I see that OotP is complete. 😏
Did I miss something? I don’t see it.
So… here we are… 2021…
