I think that the issue is Lucas, to be blunt. Even if Disney can do it, it’s not going to happen while George is still alive. I mean, I wish the man a long, happy, healthy life, and I mean that genuinely, but I think he’s the main obstacle.
I was hoping to find the TV cut of II, but it looks like the legal crackdown means that won’t be happening.
What legal crackdown is this?
Apparently WB sent C&Ds to various sites selling them? I’m not sure how reliable the information is though.

You mean the the Salkind TV cut of Superman II, That isn’t as far as i know in HD. I’d love to be told otherwise, but Warner Archive did The Extended TV cut for Superman and the international cut of Supergirl. They never did Superman II, III or IV.
I’d be fine with it in SD for now.
If someone wanted to find the extended TV cut version of Superman II, where would one look?
restorations of Junkman and Deadline just got shared to MySpleen
Unfortunately, if you’re not on MySpleen, you’re kind of SOL 😦.
If you want them I can PM you an alternative
I’d appreciate it. I particularly want GI60S in 24p with the original audio if you have it! As far as I know, MySpleen is pretty much closed off, sadly.

Did you do any HD reconstructions of Sea Monster or Son of Godzilla? Or is that not feasible with the materials available?
If anyone knows about a 24p restoration of the original Gone In 60 Seconds with the original audio, let me know. The version I have is 60p. Not the end of the world or anything, just curious.
Apparently Pink Floyd: The Wall is caught in the crossfire of the battle between Gilmore and Waters.
What’s going on? I think The Wall should get a Criterion release, it would deserve it. But it’s annoying that I can’t even get a simple Blu-ray release.

Got me. Apparently they’ve even done the mix.
Is the leaked X-Box version just the N64 game re-skinned?
I’m running out of space for mine. God, I need to move out of my parents’ house.
I have a fan version of the original Gone in 60 Seconds which syncs the HD video to the original audio (Presumably from VHS? I don’t think it was ever released on laserdisc?) that I found on the Internet Archive and YouTube, but I’m hunting for a version that’s 24p. Not a huge deal, just wondered.

I have True Lies in Vudu, but I’m terrified they’ll take it down, it’s not 24p, and the audio isn’t lossless.
Is there any way to get this in 24p, or was the restoration not done that way? I found a version on Internet Archive, but it downloaded at 60p. Not a huge deal, just wondered.
Apparently Kino had a vote on their Facebook page, and the fans chose the theatrical cut over the extended for the 4K. Damn. Ah, well.
Isn’t Techniscope sort of like 16mm? Could you squeeze HDR out of that?
If Kino doesn’t fix the way the Theatrical Cut was cut this time around, too, I shall be very put off.
If it’s not the same disc as was in the Blu-ray set, I’ll be very surprised.
Apparently Kino announced a 4K release. No HDR because they couldn’t squeeze that out of Techniscope. The theatrical cut will only be in standard BD, but they’re claiming the color-correction is improved this time. Haven’t heard about the mono yet.
MySpleen invitations are closed at this time. There are mutterings that it may be reopened again at some point, but it’s been a long time since they’ve allowed invites, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
So if you want to get something from it, you’re basically SOL 😦?
TCM showed THX-1138 the other day. I’m really looking forward to finally seeing it in a few days as I DVR’d it!
Don’t bother. That version is probably the Special Edition that Lucas did in 2004, adding a bunch of terrible CGI that ruins the claustrophobic feel of the original. You can find the original version on archive.org if you want to see it.
Where on the site?
I hit up Warner Archive on Twitter asking if they had Any plans to release the theatrical cut. They said no. And the versions on streaming sites like a Vudu and Amazon Which claim to be the theatrical cut are not.
All I fucking want is for them to do an individual release of the original With the original lossless mono track and all of the extras. That’s all I ask. I don’t want to hang onto my huge ass box set forever just for the mono track.
Unless of course, ahem, anyone wants to invite me to MySpleen should I join 😉. The Kino disc apparently has gamma problems. I’m not 100% sure what that means, but I do know that the disc I watched last night looked way too…muddy, for lack of a better term.
Incidentally, and I don’t know if it’s forbidden to talk about this or not, so any mods can feel free to edit my post, but apparently the guy who does those Hong Kong Rescue reconstructions did one for Duck You Sucker too. Apparently, though, with the exception of a horse fall, the UK Eureka disc is uncut and looks good. I wish Arrow could get the Dollars trilogy in the UK or something.
The lossless mono track on the Kino release sounds nice, even through my TV speakers.
Kino. Damn iPhone 😛.
