MeTV still runs the original series.
I’m not entirely sure it’s seamless. The color timing of the live action shots is much less saturated in the unaltered versions. Also, they only use the original mono audio.
I thought they match color wise very well, or at least to the degree they did in the SD masters (optically composited special effects are always going to look a bit different from the live action stuff).
You can switch from the mono to the surround track with your remote if you want. (The reason they don’t show this option in the menu is because the stereo pans are based on the new shots of the Enterprise rather than the old, so it can be disconcerting. The mono sounds good.)
Whooo! Very exciting. Your dedication to these audio tracks is incredible (and sounds great).
It looks like it was, Harmy. The GOUT seems to match the 35mm scan.
The 77 mono mix, 85 stereo mix, and 93 stereo mix all have it. For stereo I’d recommend 85.
The '93 mix doesn’t actually have it.
Yeah. I’ll use hh’s 5.1 audio, becuase it downmixes pretty well on stereo equipment, so people with both stereo and surround setups can enjoy it. Have there been any updated versions since the release of v1.0? And also, wasn’t there a version that syncs better with v1.0’s PAL-GOUT based sync? I’ve based the cut of this version on v1.0.
HH hasn’t done a new version, but Catbus resyned the 5.1 to the PAL version of Jedi.
If you changed the title and some minor references, it would be completely its own thing.
And would have probably gotten less flak since it wouldn’t be a failed attempt to be something it’s not…
I assume most studios would not give Guy Richie $75 million to make an original spy movie. But if it has an established franchise attached to it…
nothing to do with what the T.V. show had established.
This is precisely why I liked it. It completely ignored remaking the TV show (a remake of which would have probably been awful.) It’s basically a fun Guy Richie Spy movie. If you changed the title and some minor references, it would be completely its own thing.
I am also very sure the IMAX version I saw used the bluray colors. (It did have some frozen grain artifacts not on the bluray, but I assume that was the IMAX DMR upscaling.)
Here we go (though it is mostly a proof of concept and you would probably want to redo it):

Here's an archive that has 3 different versions for ROTS (including the original art before they redid it to make Vader's head larger.). It also has TPM, although the contrast will need to be adjusted. I don't have a good version of AOTC.

Video Collector did nice scans from an art book for his custom bluray covers, so you might want to pm him and see if he still has those.

I've recently capped and put on myspleen a 720p and 1080i Australian hdtv copy though its still from the laserdisc master its probably the best we have until a 35mm can be privately scanned.
You should edit your post to remove the direct Myspleen link. It's against forum rules.

Ok got the video at 23.976 and the 5.1 track synced added the commentaries but cannot for the life of me get the mono to sync!
Do you still have this version? If you could upload it, I could give a stab at syncing the mono.
Sorry to keep reviving this old thread, but the bluray for this is criminal.
Any updates here? I would love to see this.
dvdmike said:
Yep on JP sorry, the notes on the release say the rears were lowered in the mix
They were describing how they created the final track from the dts track. The rears were lowed to conform to the theatrical dts standard, I believe.

Ugh, more resolution. I just want >8-bit color. :o(
The upcoming spec for 4k blurays supposedly uses the Rec. 2020 color profile.
If you notice, all of that is from 2013. Firefox now has support for Media Source Extensions and it's enabled by default in the Windows and Mac versions. (It's not enabled by default on Linux as there are still bugs to work out).
Upgrade to the latest Firefox (or Safari) and it will work fine. You don't need any extensions.
You can see if your browser supports Media Source Extensions here: https://www.youtube.com/html5. The current version of Firefox should have all the boxes checked except "MSE & WebM VP." Don't run outdated browsers.

But how is that revenge? When the loop is closed, the younger one gets a big payday and all his buddies celebrate with him.JEDIT: How did you spoilerize that?
I guess it's not really much revenge at all. Ultimately "so that there would be a movie." probably works the best. I guess you could rationalize it as "he saw that a looper tried to kill him, so he closed all the loops to try to prevent that from happening again."
I googled and found an article with the director were he says:
“Or is he doing it because he’s come to power and he’s wiping everything out? It’s a good question.” says Johnson, suggesting there’s really no answer.
Really, most of the movie's logic doesn't work or really matter outside of the direct narrative (as is common with time travel movies). I do have a question though: They shoot old Joe's wife in the future after making such a big deal about how hard it is to kill in the future. Why didn't they just send her back in time to be killed?
To spoilerize: The text input here lacks an html editor, but still allows formatting from pasted sources. Just do the spoiler in a text editor (black highlighter) and paste it in.

Looper (2012)
This was really great, as long as you don't get too tied up in the time travel issues. One thing I couldn't figure out, and I'm sure I'll feel dumb once someone explains it, is why The Rainmaker was closing all the loops.
I assumed that it was because he knew his mother was killed by a Looper and wanted revenge.

I'm kind of surprised nobody has taken the Ultimate Hunter Edition Blu, color corrected it and added a grain plate. Curious if that could make it look better than the first edition Blu...
No. The Ultimate Hunter Edition is literally just the old Bluray master with some color differences and an absolutely ridiculous amount of DNR applied to it. It's bafflingly bad. It has no factors in any way that might make it a better source than the old Bluray.
Sweet, thank you.

From what I've heard the German FAFDM used MGM's transfer but did so without the extra processing and DNR MGM applied so that specks, dirt and grain are more visible.
This is true, yet I still stand by my assessment that the IT BD looks better overall than the DE BD. The MGM master, even with the extra processing taken off, just looks terrible to my eyes.
That said, the IT does not have English audio. Though, both the 5.1 and mono have been synced to it, the latter by a member of this forum.
I would agree. The IT has much better colors and looks more natural, even if it is softer. The German/MGM transfer has worse colors and a ton of a lot of sharpening and edge enhancement.
The major difference between the German and MGM version is that the MGM has an auto dirt remover applied. Other than that they look the same. I don't think the MGM has any noticeable waxy-style DNR applied to it compared with the DE.
Who synced the mono to the IT? I would love to get that.
This looks nice!
Has anyone tried just using colormatch or something similar to match it to the despecialized colors? You would obviously have some issues with the contrast because the bluray source has some black crush, but it"s worth a shot.
This release with quality colors would honestly be a great version of ESB.

And for future reference, the current DVD cover thread is still going strong.
