Still stands. I've got all of the official Train Wrecks, a few things that were exclusively posted to IGN, a few things that were exclusively posted to YouTube and also other relating clips, like Rosario and Trevor on late nite interview shows. That'll all be on the set when I get around to making it.

i'd always like to hear more details of what you thought.

The ending with animatrix stuff worked, but was unnecessary. The way i have it ending now had the same effect but was shorter. When I went back through the film to get the run time down, that was something i decided was unnecessary and removed.

Gotcha.

A few of the edits I thought were real quick (in that it went from point A to point B real quick), off-putting. The first one was with Persephone and her helping them out with the Keymaker. Her stuff was so cut down that she no longer had any motivation to help them. The too-quick edit came at the one when the Keymaker was blowing off the key he just fashioned and then you cut right to the foyer scene. I can't remember what was there that you cut and I'm sure that it was necessary for what you were doing, but it felt real, real quick.

The other off-putting edits were peppered around the transition between Reloaded and Revolutions. Not so much the stuff on the ship (I really like how you cut out Bane and Neo being unconscious, very nice), but cutting to Neo with the Oracle. I don't think this was as off-putting at the Keymaker one, but it felt weird.

That was the big stuff. There some technical snafus, like you said about the audio getting a little out of sync for brief scenes, but I know the pratfalls of Womble firsthand. I watched it with headphones on, so I probably heard the audio cuts more than you would if you were watching it on a TV. The biggest thing that bothered me about it was inherent to the source material, and that was that there didn't actually feel like there was any emotion between Neo and Trinity. Nothing you could do about that, though.

Other than that, though, really stellar. Opening with the shortened Osiris thing was really kickass and cutting out the stupider subplots worked really nicely. The deletion of the whole Merovingian and that digital family was not missed in the slightest, and the ending was way cool.

Took a few days and snagged this edit piece by piece from RapidShare and watched it on the long Greyhound trip home today. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I hadn't seen the movies in a while, so for a lot of the Enter the Matrix stuff, I couldn't pick out what was from the game and what was from the movies, which was pretty cool. I didn't realize there was so much from the game until I re-read this thread. There were a few things that bothered me. Some of them were inherent to the source material, some of them were probably just necessity of the edit. I can go into more detail if you'd like, Spence.

Also, what happened to the ending with scenes from the Animatrix?

True, all he need to do was avoid the beutiful women thread, but you guys (especially ricarlette) just upset him. I sent him to Outer Rin Sieges to chill out for a while, but if he comes back, try to be a bit easier on him, all right?

Now this thread is really hilarious.

The guy who runs Asylum is good people, I've traded gads of discs with him.

Why is that site selling Alien Redux (Appendix #2)? Isn't that a fan edit?

The one he's got there is actually one I traded to him, made a couple years before Appendix #2. Got the copy I have from a trader named Justin.

Ah yes, I got my copy from Stumpy too. Great trade, I got everything from his end just fine, but he just won't reply to my emails now asking why it's only 37mins long :\

I haven't watched it all the way through yet, but there is a running timecode and there seemed to be a lack of score. It's either four or two reels worth of the workprint, I think. (Four if they were 10mins each, two if they were 20, like reels usually are.)

The only workprint that I think I've ever seen that I prefer to the final theatrical cut is the 2003 remake of Willard, maybe the one of One Hour Photo. All the others I've seen (which is a good amount) are just different, rougher. Nothing really that makes them "better" per se.

I'd be interested in the ones of Starship Troopers and Darkman that you mentioned, if you perhaps want to trade.
