Is there some way to see when reading a forum what messages are new, as there was in the older forum? It seems like it's kinda guesswork right now, unless I overlooked something.

EDIT: Looking a bit more, I see that the topics I've read are no longer bold. So that indicates the topics, but is there something in the thread indicating what actual posts are new? Also, is there a "Mark Forum as Read" button that I'm missing?

Memorex used to be considered generally bad media, but they've been producing good stuff in the last few years.

boon23 over at fanedit.org is uploading the NTSC DVD to RapidShare right now and a torrent will follow, if nobody posts one by the time he's ready.

Okay, here's the deal. On most European releases of the John Carpenter flick They Live, there is a commentary track featuring Carpenter and Roddy Piper. Not so on any American release. I was able to find an MP3 of the commentary audio track, but it is of course in PAL.

I can easily enough throw the audio file into Audition, slow it down by the appropriate amount and make a backup of the American DVD that I own with this as a secondary audio track, but I do not know the conversion factor precisely. Would I just slow it down by 4%? Would that mean that the converted audio track should be 96% as fast as the PAL?

EDIT: I seem to have gotten this taken care of. Sooooo, nevermind

Also, the scene at the end of Eggtown with Locke and Miles at the end is the best scene that Locke has had in a long, long time.

Last night's episode... yeah, I don't even know what to say. Fucking great television.

The werewolves were a plant, and not actually in the movie. Oh, those sly X-Files folks.

The trailer looks badass. I can't wait to see the flick.

No, there weren't any scripts completed for Origins. Kevin Smith was supposed to be the first episode and he was close to finishing his, but didn't before the strike hit.

For the Credits thing, you have to create a new menu and drag your JPEG image onto it. If you hold down the Shift key while dragging the image onto the menu, it will make it the background.

I just looked it up on YouTube, and I think I must have this on tape somewhere at home. My family had HBO in the 80s and 90s and taped a bunch of movies off of them. Next time I am at home for a few days (which may be in a few weeks, it may be longer), I'll look.

In the meantime, you could ask some of the folks who uploaded it to YouTube.

Can anyone recommend a video stabilizer/enhancer box thingie that will knock out Macrovision protection? I work at this great mom'n'pop video store that didn't liquidate their amazing VHS selection when the big VHS-to-DVD switch came, and there's a ton of excellent sci-fi, horror and kids flicks that aren't available on DVD anywhere in the world that I want to make copies of. Trouble is, a bunch of them have got Macrovision on them. I've got a set-top DVD recorder that I'm really happy with (that I bought for crazy cheap, too) and I'd like to get some more mileage out of it.

EDIT: Or, better yet, if anyone has one they're looking to get rid of, I'll gladly take it off your hands

Hey See No Evil, glad to see you back around here. My sincerest apologies for always dropping the ball with our emails. I had a lot of stuff in my head for a while. I'll still gladly send you the ED materials I have so you can compare them to yours.

I'd personally really love to see that DVD you put together, djsmokingjam. And Charlie, if you would let us know what work would have to go into getting those shorts from that tape, I'm sure some folks would step up. I would, at least.

Interesting info, I had no idea.

I think the laserdisc transfer of the flick is still warranted because it was transferred at Gilliam's apparent preferred aspect ratio of 1.75:1. The DVD will probably be 1.78:1 or 1.85:1. A minor difference, to be sure, but I'm just saying.

I've got it. My copy is a DVD that I am pretty sure is directly sourced from the VCDs. The only format it was "released" in was VCD, VHS and DVD versions that subsequently followed were dubs of those.

It's a slightly, but notably, different edit that's almost superior to the final film. I can help you out with a copy, if you'd like.

You can also find direct links to the FLVs at the excellent Lostpedia.

Also, it seems "The Envelope" is a deleted scene, based on its credits.

That's me behind Ken Foree! I'm not sure why I look so bored and am biting my fingernail, because he was telling a pretty funny story. Man, did I really look like that five years ago?

That'd be Leonard Nimoy, sir.

I've just got a general question about supplemental Alien-franchise material and this seemed like the best place to ask it.

In the original version of the documentary on the bonus disc for Alien3 included in the Quadrilogy box, there was about a half hour's worth of footage that illustrated David Fincher's frustration with the project using video footage shot during production. This was all removed prior to the official release. Is any of that stuff circulating?

Ady, to add my voice to the chorus, you've really outdone yourself (and every single one of us, thusfar) on this project. It's simply spectacular. I really hope you have a job in the industry, because some of the work in here puts certain "pros" to shame.

I understand where you're coming from C3PX, I didn't want to be responsible for releasing anything without permission. Internet message boards are not the best places for being able to accurately read into a person's intentions. It just seemed from what I heard that it was a finalized version worthy of distribution.

Anyway, it's out of all of our hands now. Look it up on The Pirate Bay.

Garrett isn't selling anything either. He was given a copy of the edit that was indicated to him as the final version. Here's the first email he sent me about it:

How weird - everyone on Originaltrilogy is posting about the extended Army of Darkness waiting for it. The guy who made it, Scott, has made no announcement. He sent this edit to me AGES ago. Maybe you should let them know it actually exists! Maybe I'll put it up as a torrent.

Quit trying to sleight a dude for trying to help you.

My ISP is far too janky for me to upload full DVDs, but I'll happily forward a copy to you to post for everyone's enjoyment. I've also got the Sci-Fi cut on DVD, if you'd like that too. Scott (RidgeShark) sent me a DVD version of it that he capped for use in this project.
