Oh yeah, of course, the LD/TV will cover the portions that are omitted from the Blu-Ray.
Looking forward to seeing this. š
Great stuff! Which track are using, the LD, the Blu-ray?
Speaking of Sean Conneryā¦

Anyone else spot this little attempt at a disclaimer on the *** site?

$60 USD for, āthe time and effort spent for downloading, burning, and printing.ā Clearly, a very expensive process. š
OT: anyone seen or planning to see the film adaptation?
The opera scene is fucking great though and Iāll fight anyone who says otherwise.
We got hosed on more Dalton films in any event.
Yeah, although the producers had always wanted Pierce Brosnan all along to replace Moore but his contract for Remington Steele had scuppered those plans.
I also love Tomorrow Never Dies.
Me too and hopefully the original uncut version will surface one day.

Any QoS fans? Now that one, I felt was irredeemably bad.
Eh, I havenāt seen much (if any) love for Licence to Kill. Iād say that oneās pretty widely regarded as bad, or at least a misstep.
I think itās been reappraised in some circles as weāve had grittier 007 outings since then. And aside from the opening of Diamonds Are Forever itās the only time weāve seen Bond truly going rogue.
I met John Glen, the director of LTK and TLD (plus much more), a couple of years ago and he said that Daltonās Bond was ahead of its time and was much closer than the previous actors as to how Fleming had depicted Bond in the novels.
The only home video release with the original aspect ratio has been the Criterion LD/DVD. Every widescreen TV airing Iāve seen used the 1:85.1 AR. As with many prints on eBay, the audio is in Russian but that could be easily replaced. However, the print appears to be in such poor condition that would we really get any good results?
I would be interested in your opinions on this.
Are we going to have to preserve a T2 print now?
Russian audio and probably Russian credits too. The condition doesnāt look that great either, considering the asking price but just throwing it out thereā¦

Thanks. š
Heās probably going to wish he revised his comments on Wonder Woman going by the twitter reaction so far. š
Ok, caught this tonight at the BFI IMAX. Cameron might also wish heād revised his comments about the number of revisions in T2:3D, as thereās much more than just the windshield alteration. Itās been a few years since Iāve watched my NTSC Artisan DVD but thereās a number of changes that I immediately spotted.
Somehow, I missed the censorship of Robert Patrickās genitals though. š®
They were on show for 26 years, why conceal them now? š

Of course, George Lucas was inevitably mentioned during the interviewā¦ How many eagle eyed people on here even noticed this in the first place? š
Do you think heāll release the revised version on home video at some point?
āSithmastersidious.ā LOL. Real subtle, there.
āIāll say this for him, heās consistent.ā
Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home
- USA theatrical version - released on Blu-ray
- UK theatrical version called āThe Voyage Home : Star Trekā - apparently released on VHS?
- PAL DVD version - DVD - features a new beginning containing a montage of scenes from Star Trek II and III
- are there any more versions?
The āstory so farā montage seen on the PAL DVD release was not new. It was present in the UK theatrical version in 1986 (I saw it) and it was also present on the version of ST IV included in the UK VHS TOS era widescreen collection.
Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country
- theatrical version - released on Blu-ray
- VHS/Laserdisc version - released on LD/VHS
- DVD version - released on DVD
Are there any more versions? 3 different cuts doesnāt seem like enough, since Nick Meyer is a bit of a George Lucas and he tries to re-do his films constantly. I also heard that the REAL theatrical version had different closing credits, but I never managed to find any evidence of its existence.
There are two DVD releases of ST VI. The original, which is the same cut as the VHS/LD release and then a special edition, with a different aspect ratio (1.78:1) and the faces of the conspirators are shown during Valerisā mind meld interrogation.
Does anyone know if Disneyās āOne of our Dinosaurs is missingā is avialable anywhere in HD? I see it appears to be on itunes in the USA, but donāt know if itās SD or HD (or an upscale)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/one-of-our-dinosaurs-is-missing/id443373839
It is listed as HD.
Iāve been playing a heap of Fallout 3 recently. I know it gets a lot of hate, but if this is the worst Fallout game, I canāt wait to play the best.
It isnāt, that would be 4. The best of the 3D is New Vegas, no doubt.
Really? Thatās interesting, I bought PS3 New Vegas some time ago but never played it much. Sounds like I ought to revisit it.
I had a look through the forum using Google and the search terms, āHBOā, āNBCā and āempireā but nothing came up. Is there any interest in preserving these, especially since the 87ā NBC airing featured a special intro by James Earl Jones? Does anyone know if they are from the same master used for the time compressed 1985 Pan and Scan CAV LD?
1987 HBO intro for The Empire Strikes Back

Remake of The Empire Strikes Back NBC Intro (the original clip seems to have vanished from YouTube)
I believe the DVD is a US import so i canāt access it.
Surprising that DVD regions are still a problem to anyone. With VLC installed on a computer, you can usually bypass all of that. š
No biggie. š This is quite an interesting project. If no-one else takes it up, do you think youād have a go at reconstructing the episodes yourself?
Thanks for the clarification. I was scratching my head, fearing that Iād misread it.
From now until season 6 we will be dealing with censorship.
ARC Troopers
11:31 to 11:32 was removed for the broadcast on Cartoon Network
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-mqn4s61no (Side note: The clip is from the Blu Ray release, but the one who posted it cropped the vidoe to 16:9)
(Unaltered Version found only on iTunes and the original broadcast)
This is somewhat confusing, you state that the Cartoon Network broadcast was censored but yet you also state that only the iTunes and original broadcast are unaltered. Is the Blu-ray not uncensored?
It seems only two LDās contain the digital audio track: an Italian release and apparently, one of two Japanese versions:
How about the tone and colour grading of the GB footage used in the music video?
There is a 35mm print of Aliens on eBay. Anybody getting that?

Donāt forget: Russian audio and very likely Russian opening/closing credits too. Both are easily solved but itās worth pointing out.
Why has Dagobah1 been banned?
JEDIT: Worked it out, literally right after posting! š
