How can I get a copy of this TV edit of John Carpenter's The Thing?  My brother and I grew up watching this great movie.  For years we the only version we watched was the television version we had on VHS.  Unfortunately because of Hurricane Katrina, we lost that version.  His birthday is coming up next month and I'd like to get a copy of this for him for his birthday.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Read a few posts back...

PM sent.

Thanks, Lacerated.

the alternate ending is the same as the one here

the audio has a voiceover saying "who knows what has come from the galaxy? Who knows what evil lurks in the skies, beyond God?  Watch those around you, for who knows what today, tonight, or tomorrow may bring?"

Updating this thread to point to another thread.

TV version of THE THING available soon.

Transferring to DVD as we speak.  I watched the first few minutes.   The narration is very jarring if you're used to the theatrical cut.

I also noticed a few different musical cues.

Its recorded from TBS, with a "SUPERSTATION" logo in the lower right.  I was recorded in November 2002.  The recording is in SP mode.

The DVD will be mono sound due to my VCR, but I doubt the broadcast was originally stereo, anyway.  It sounds pretty muffled.

I can edit out commercials, and create  an MKV version. Ill post screen caps soon. 

I received the VHS tape today.  I should be able to get it transferred to DVD-R tomorrow, ill be making an mkv version as well... ill try to upload some brief clips for preview as well.

I have some small online file sharing, but no bandwidth to allow lots of shares. 

If i make a 1 gig or so version, Im sure I can share with someone who can upload to a better file sharing website.

I have not been on here very often, but recently started checking in, after I heard about Harmy's DVDs.

i still have the TV edit of Thing, recorded on VHS from sometime in the early 2000's, i think from TBS or TNT.

edit: the tape was at my mother's in storage.  she found it and is sending it to me.

Once I get it, I can record it to DVD-R, then encode with handbrake.  after that ill have to send it to someone who knows how to share these things.

I LOL'd.  sorry if its been posted.

Sorry if this has been posted, but this blog was a started by a friend of a friend…

Here is a snapshot of the discs menu.

My copy has been destroyed, and I don’t know where I got it from.   Does anyone have this disc in their collection?

Id like all  of adywans technical wizardry applied to creating an approximation of the original theatrical versions. In otherwords,  what we all want.  High quality versions of the OT.

Ady, why are you going to using the Laserdisc audio for Phantom menace? Is it better than the DVD audio? Also, why not release the other two prequels sooner? for ROTS all of you have to do is literally add one wipe to make it the theatrical version.

The phantom menace has an extended cut of the pod race scene on the dvd.

As far as i can remember, only the Laserdisc has the theatrical cut... right?

The THX WOW! DVD has the original theatrical pod race, anamorphic, with DD or DTS, and could easily be re inserted into the extended DVD.  It begins with Anakin starting his pod, and ends with Sebulba saying "poodoo" or whatever.

Adywan... would the THX WOW DVD be of any use in your TPM project? Original Theatrical  Pod race with DTS...

Ok, i have a successful .tc file that plays on my ps3 perfectly.   a 1 minute sample played from the PS3 hard drive was beautiful.  Can I use DVD Decrypter to get it onto DVD+DL?   i dont have nero.

Thanks Ady!  Ill try it.

Thanks for hot tip Moth3r, but  its not available in Bluray.  ;)

hey guys.  I have 6.55gb HD movie on my PC, seems to be encoded as a ".x264" file.   i want to burn it to a DVD+DL and watch it on a PS3 or any other blu ray player.     The filename has the extention .mkv.    MY PC lacks the Horse power to play it without breaking up. Where do I start?

If youre referring to Han's shirt in the carbon freeze, i thought it was determined that it wasnt a continuity error, but rather lighting that made the shirt appear dark.

Negative1..... I have heard others express a similar opinion. Most of them are under the age of 10. ;)

It has been done. I have ANH and ESB completed. Dual Layered. But I have never finished ROTJ. It plays on my PC, but never plays on my burns. I kinda gave up, hoping someone else would do it.  Im cant remember how it turned out, jaggie wise.

played perfectly on my 40GB PS3.
