“Normality” has been resumed. Thanks.

Frink isn’t there anymore?

Sorry to all you guys that were hoping to watch it over the weekend. It’s finally uploading now and I’ll pm you guys. An issue I know about is there is a strange (but slight) green cast over about the first five minutes or so. This has been fixed for the big encode but is still present in this smaller version.

I’m terrible about this sort of thing. I make projects like this mostly for myself and finish them then am too lazy to go through the effort it takes to share it online. I’m the same with my music.

She thinks it’s Leia anyway even without knowing she’s his sister because of them communicating with the force at the end.

This is what everyone I’ve shown the movies to came away with too. A couple of em even called it when the communication thing happened. "OOH! So she’s gotta be “the other”, right?"
That she’s also Luke’s sister was a groaner almost every time. I’m interested to find out how she takes that one.

She loved ROTJ too. Didn’t question the sibling thing. Loved the ending with Vader Luke and the emperor. Pretty sure she actually cried when Darth Vader killed the emperor and then himself died. She thought Luke was going to turn and kill Vader and that the sequel trilogy was going to be about Luke as the next Vader, but was relieved that the character she got attached to stayed a good guy. I showed darthrushs edit so much of the cheese in jabbas palace and some from the ewoks was gone.

I didn’t “announce”, I answered a direct question. Nevertheless I’m sorry for overreacting.

I was asked what version I showed. I answered. I was told that was wrong. I said I didn’t care. Now it’s been brought up again, so I reiterated that I still don’t care. If that counts as flipping out then yeah, sure.

It is annoying that I came here to post something I thought was exciting which was getting to share star wars with someone completely unspoiled and that they are loving it, and all you have to say is that I’m not doing it right. It’s the attitude more than the actual opinion that’s annoying. But I’m sure you have a million reasons why I’m just being silly and you’re right and I’m wrong so I’ll just stop posting about my good news here. Ciao

I wouldn’t bother because I’m not really interested in hearing about how I’m doing the films and God above a disservice by showing her a “semi-special” edition and I honestly couldn’t care less about people’s opinion on what I show my girlfriend. I only even revealed that information because I was directly asked.

So far her favorite characters are r2d2 and Yoda, so she seems to like little cutesy things so I doubt the ewoks will bother her. As for jabbas palace, I agree that it isn’t good but I think when cut down it could be okay. I did a cut of it a few months ago that I scrapped purely for technical reasons that I thought made it much more enjoyable and less silly. I don’t really change any events I just removed the musical number and cut out some cheesy close ups of the puppets and such .

She probably will just go with it. She’s not the nerdy type, film or otherwise, and based on her reactions so far I’d say she’s pretty much sold on the whole thing already and is loving every bit of the ride. But then again it’s easy to feel that way when all you’ve seen is anh and ESB lol.

I’m not officially releasing it just yet I’m just letting a couple people preview it. But yes the official release will probably be on the spleen. But I wouldn’t at all object if somebody else re-uploaded them somewhere else

It’s a full month ban at least. Ask again on the 25th.

If he doesn’t ask will the ban still be lifted?

I’ll ask her.

Update: She thinks it’s Leia anyway even without knowing she’s his sister because of them communicating with the force at the end.

She also thought Luke was going to die because she thought Vader was being literal when he said “He will join us or die, master” to the emperor like he had a vision about it or something.

Is the 2.0 audio pro logic compatible? If so that wouldn’t even bother me.

Good thing I’m just watching movies with my girlfriend and not caring about other people’s opinions on how I do it then or else I might have a problem!

She’s a normal twenty year old girl. Not a film buff. The history and significance doesn’t mean shit to her. She just wanted to experience the story and adventure that she’s always heard about. I made sure she watched a version where Han shoots first and there’s no Jabba scene or cgi slapstick or animals walking in front of the camera. R2D2 didn’t taste very good, Vader’s shuttle was brought, and the wampa was left to the imagination. As for everything else, I really doubt she would be super concerned with matte lines or matte paintings or different composites of shots or anything else so she might as well see it in the best video quality possible. I’ll be sure to tell her this guy on a forum I go to says she watched the wrong version though, I’m sure she’ll feel super regretful.

No a custom hybrid version I made for anh and revisited for ESB. I’ll be making a custom ESB also and an edit of rotj too but she’s ready to watch them so I can’t wait.

I’m not telling her anything about that lol I’m not saying a word about them not being the real versions.

What edits were made in these editions? What are you going to do I this custom ESB?

By custom I just mean oot/se hybrid. New special effects kept, dialogue changes and extra scenes or anything that changes characters put back.

She didn’t say anything about “the other” so I don’t know.

If she’s curious about the prequels you can show her Frink’s edits and tell her they’re the real thing too.

Lol tempting but I’d probably go for octorox for 1 and 2 and nfbisms for 3 once it’s done. But I’m kindof avoiding talking about the prequels so far and am just trying to subtly steer her into wanting to just press on to the st.

I can’t believe you did that.

I don’t see how it’s that unreasonable. It’s the way I prefer to watch them but a conversation about which version of the film we’re watching would not interest her in any way so there was no point in mentioning it. She does seem really taken with the whole thing but she’s also a normal girl in her early twenties so I doubt the official SEs would have bothered her anyway and she probably wouldn’t even notice if she decided to rewatch them herself sometime.

I’ll probably put on darthrush edit since I haven’t finished mine yet and won’t tell her it’s an edit. The only thing I really don’t like about rotj is some of the cheese at jabbas palace and the ewoks are just slightly too much. When it delivers, it delivers.

Just watched Star Wars with my girlfriend for the first time. She loved it. Remarkably not only has she never seen it but also knows nothing about it, not even the characters or story or themes. It’s such an amazing experience getting to watch it with somebody that is experiencing it with new unspoiled eyes and ears. Like she doesn’t even know that

SPOILER

darth Vader is Luke’s father =)

so she’s gonna be thrown for a loop in the next one and I can’t wait to see her reaction.

She loves it. I had to make her promise not to Google the next one. This is an experience I honestly thought I would never get to have unless it was with a child. Never thought I would get to do this with an adult. I mean sure plenty of adults haven’t seen it but few don’t know at least some of the story bits.

She doesn’t know if she believes Vader is Luke’s father or not. But she loved TESB. And getting to experience her hearing Vader say he is Luke’s father when she actually didn’t see it coming or expect it was a thrill I can’t describe. It was like I could feel the suspense in the air coming off of her and I suddenly had the feeling of wonder like it was my first time.

She was blown away. She loved the first one also but she didn’t expect this one to be good just purely on the grounds that it was a sequel.

I shall. The “miniature” 720p encode is finished, uploading for feedback from you guys now. I think it’s pretty seamless, as much as possible anyway. It’s the 2011 version, with new modern looking lightsaber blades and blasters shots courtesy of telecine7. There is a base gamma and color correction as well but it’s not extensive it merely fixes the darkness and makes the existing color timing on the blurays look more pleasant. It also uses the 97 sound mix, but the entire mos eisley sequence is 77 theatrical, going back to the Blu Ray cut when the Stormtroopers start firing on Han and co entering the falcon. So no greedo shot, no cgi rontos or slapstick, no jabba, etc. Obviously due to limitations in the source material for that it looks sightly different. I used harmy 2.7 for that color adjusted to match as best as I could. Some shots look less than perfect, but I mean they already did. I had a screening at my house on my projector with some friends who only having a casual knowledge of star wars and all they noticed was that “Han shot first” like they’d always heard it was “supposed” to be but I didn’t say anything about why it was like that and I didn’t tell them it was something I cobbled together I kinda just made it seem like it was a rare custom edition I found and nobody said anything about quality changing or anything.

There are three original changes in this version but they are all pretty minute.
-Shot of the walking trash can on the jawa sandcrawler cut. Just that one shot of it walking, because I hated it. One of the few shots in the film that actually look very dated to me.
-Bad audio edit during the sandpeople reveal fixed with audio lifted from adywans revisited
-Edited out the section of a shot in the scene where Darth Vader and tarkin discover the princess lied to them where Vader continues gesturing with his arms well after he quits speaking. Accomplished this by lifting a shot of a closeup on Vader’s face from a different scene that takes place in that same room and he’s in the same spot and just flipped it to make him face the right way (the background is repeating panels so it doesn’t really look flipped) and color adjusted it. I think it’s seamless, but even if somebody can notice something is different about it I’m sure you’ll agree it’s smoother than what’s there now where he just kinda awkwardly gestures for no reason.

Color me interested, and then tickle me pink, then elmo.

Order not mandatory.

Awesome. Thanks man

Doing the big encode now, then I’ll make a compressed version to send to you peEps.

I’ve finally gotten around to uploading my second album, from still back in 2015, for digital download.

Withering, my second album. It’s much the same as the first, although with poorer recording quality due to conditions at the time and me rushing the production job. It’s very brittle and harsh sounding, and it’s quite aggressive but honestly I don’t think it has the pop or punch of the first album that really grabs you like Alterations does. It’s an okay album, although I would definitely say it’s my weakest. If you like my sound you will enjoy it, but it’s not as punchy as the first album or as creative and enveloping as the later albums. But if you like my sound it’s still worth a listen. The next album after this is where I really found myself, The Way would be next and that’s the album that got me most of my fans. I’ll upload it soon enough I hope.

Yeah but dahmaged said it so does it really count?
