This is a great simple way to get people involved and help the professional restorers with the more painstaking, time-sucking tasks of restoration. Love it!

Glad you thought of damage that should be there. My first thought were the black specks in the cave in Empire Strikes Back. How will people tell the good dirt from the bad…? I see that’s been thought of.

So what will the first project be?

If you could get this to work, Blue Harvest - crowd sourcing dirt and scratch repair, this could open the door for many wonderful things.

Then using it even more wrong.

From the Cambridge Idiom dictionary 2nd edition:

To go over somebody’s head:

1. to talk to or deal with someone’s boss without talking to them first
2. if a piece of information goes over someone’s head, they do not understand it

You can use the expression in the following example: That tax declaration information went over my head.

In this example, the subject is not ignorant of the fact that (s)he’s being shown tax information. She or he doesn’t understand it.

It fits.

You laugh but… http://gizmodo.com/how-to-make-a-118-gigabyte-floppy-drive-1761339255

That gif was my own reaction. As in: that was supposed to be a joke?

So it fits the definition.

Haha it took me forever to figure that out. And yes, I’m dumb for not using the preview button!

I’d like to help as well.

Haha! The funny thing is, I immediately thought of this shot when I made my first reply. Thank ypu for gif-ifying it!

This is a really cool idea and think it would be awesome to get the community involved. I’d love to participate as well.

Based on what I remember: Mike wanted to rescan the LPP and Negative1 snubbed him. I also remember Negative1 making jabs at IB prints, saying they were not as detailed as his print and that his own print was even better.

Perhaps someone was bitter at Mike’s philosophy of keeping this private and pitching it as a viable commercial product, so -1 took things into his own hands? I’m just speculating here, of course. I would like to hear -1’s point of view on this.

Thank you, Mike, for taking to time to explain things from your point of view. It seems to more or less corroborate what the other side was saying, but there is still the question of whether -1 knew that the print they had was not allowed to go out in the public. You are justified in feeling angry at “Joe” and I’m sorry that he betrayed that trust.

However, I disagree with your view on the “Silver Screen Release” which was never supposed to be a professional restoration and it is unfair to knock them down. I see it as a group of fans, doing their best to clean up a beat-up print and present it as-is.

Release this pain. Release it! …This pain has poisoned your soul for a long time. Now you’ve taken the first step. The other steps we’ll take together.

This pain runs deep. Let us explore it …together. …Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. …Share your pain with me and gain strength from it.

I’ll leave this right here: http://youtu.be/7iTqoDH0vFU

nugget porn

I don’t know what that is and I’m certainly not gonna search for it to find out.

The actors have no arms nor legs.

Agreed.

But what I should have said was that no one with an extensive, vintage nugget porn collection has a VCR.

Ah I see. I dunno!

As a safety backup. It’s best to create multiple backups in put them in different geographical locations. Mike trusted person 2 and well it appeared that trust was misplaced.

I wonder if this guy has just woken up from 18 years in cryogenic freeze and hasn’t quite realized that no one has VCRs and that there are a plethora of high quality preservations from a multitude of mediums…

That’s awesome!

Poita,

You’ve been a great asset to this site but your family comes first.

Thank you for all the fish.

I’m on my phone and I can’t remember the code for quoting posts.

“But wait! There’s also a third restoration from a professional VFX technician that’s being shopped to Hollywood executives in an effort to change their mind regarding an official Blu-ray release of the unaltered flicks.”

Is this true? Sounds like a stretching of the truth based on my understanding but maybe I’m wrong.

This would be Mike Verta’s version, and yes, he does plan to show Disney/Lucasfilm what he’s accomplished.

Hope the data recovery is successful. In the meantime, I just read this and found it pertinent:
