I think that's like teh embed code or something ya got there.

No, that's a streaming link to the actual video file. It may work if plugged into a download manager of some sort, like FlashGet. If I were on my own machine, I'd give it a whirl.

Oh man, the best part of that is the guy subbing in for R2's beeps.

There's a downloading program I have on my comp at home that I don't remember the name of that's been able to deal with tricky stuff. I'll try it out when I get back on Sunday.

EDIT: A buddy of mine was able to find the actual URL of the video. It's not actually letting me just put it as a link in here, so here's a really long and stupid-looking paste. Best of luck to anyone who wants to give it a whirl.

You do have a point. I just think it's pretty shitty to go and shoot new (and pretty stupid) content without the knowledge of the director just because the film happens to be public domain.

I have seen just about every version of this film the original and color but i heard there was some deleted scenes put into the movie on the millennium edition disc does any one know wear i can get these deleted scenes? 

Those aren't deleted scenes. Those are scenes that John Russo, without any authorization or consent of George Romero of any kind, shot specifically for that DVD release, and then edited back into the movie. It's a joke, and a mean one at that.

Alright, it's up. Since OT no likey the link-ys, just go and Google "tv vault org" (without the quotes) and you'll find the place. You'll probably have to register, but that shouldn't be a problem.

I'll post a rip of it on The TV-Vault. It's been floating around for years.

The navigation on mine is kinda weird (if I recall), so that probably wouldn't be bad!

Ugh. I must be getting screen names confused again. Yeah, I'm sending stuff to InvisibleWolfMan soon. Sorry about the confusion.

I'm getting 30+ Weird Al discs out to Ripplin soon. After that, it's out of my hands.

I just hate torrenting DVDs because I'm kinda lazy. I suppose I could do it, though.  

Yeah, I'm really loving this clip too. It's great to see Star Wars look like an actual film again. Keep up the great work, Puggo!

I never got a copy from Mitch, but I did finally get a copy from another trader today. I was thinking of ripping an XviD and putting it up on a bay somewhere. Anyone interested in that?

He gave up on trying to get the disc to compile a while ago. I've got all the completed first disc and the raw material for the second disc, I've just been very lax in getting to trying to compile the second disc. I suppose I could try doing it next week.

Colorized Big Sleep? Damn. That must be weird. I've love to see it.

You are always there to lend a hand when needed ReverenedBeastly. A true team player ;-)

This guy has done a ton for the community.

Thanks!

Looks like Lacerated has a better offer on the table, though.

I sent you an email about this, but I have a recording of a 2002/03(?) broadcast on VHS. It's not in great shape, I recorded it in SLP mode, but I can send you my original tape (if I didn't throw it away yet...) if you want that for any reason.

There's a few scenes and alternate edits that are only present in the cable TV version. SciFi is usually the one that airs it, but I've also seen it on AMC. Anyway, I just doubt there's a chance of that edit being broadcast in HD because if someone at the network were to go and get an HD broadcast master of Army of Darkness, I'm sure it would be an amended theatrical edit and not feature much, if any, extra content.

Even if SciFi HD does show AoD, it will probably be pillarboxed SD. I caught them doing that when seeing if they'd broadcast later (shot in 16:9) episodes of The X-Files, and they were just 4:3 pillarboxed.

Citizen Kane never got to being colorized, I believe. That's when there was the big uproar about it and Ted Turner backed down.

EDIT: Good info here.

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

I’ve got both of the original 1997 VHS releases, widescreen and fullscreen. If anyone would like these, you need only pay shipping. If you’re interested, please let me know via email. Both sets are in pretty decent shape.

I’m cleaning out my room and trying to get rid of some stuff, and I have concluded that I don’t really need the VHS release of TPM that I picked up a while back. It’s got some kind of behind-the-scenes documentary on the tape, and a 35mm film cell as well. I don’t really care about getting money for it, so if you want it, I’d just ask you to pay for shipping and whatnot. Anyone interested, please email me (address in signature). Otherwise, this’ll be going to the Goodwill.

There's a DAP BitTorrent tracker. It's not hard to find if you search "DAP" and "tracker", though I think I'm prohibited from linking it here.

The DAP rips are good rips. DAP rips always are.

Yeah, this definitely looks cool. I'm psyched for a widescreen edit that finally rotoscopes the eyes.
