"DUNE" the "Fanfiltration edit"
It combines the two existing versions of the 1984 film, to make a much better movie IMHO.
My goal was fixing the horrible edit job done on the T.V. footage, plus adding the "blue within blue eyes" where it was missing. In many places, scenes have been reedited to try and faithfully reconstruct David Lynch’s original vision of the film using the December 9, 1983 shooting script as a guide. I bet Universal did nothing at all to the T.V. version but crop it to look like it's 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen. MCA Video did that with the Battlestar Galactica movie a few years ago.
My fan edit is presented in a “Pan & Scan” format; as no widescreen footage of the extended cut scenes is available at the current time of this reedit production. Yes the video looks kinda bad, but the Pan & Scan laserdisc is not the best quality, and let's not talk about how bad the T.V. print is. This was the best I could do with what is out there. This is my first edit too.

Here is a preview of my menus:

Who knows you may have a better copy is it on DVD or VHS? I only ask as it has taken me almost 6 years to find a copy this clean (3 DVD versions and about 5 tapes) - As for the quality it is a VHS to VHS to DVD copy of the original Screener tape - I'll post some screen caps when that HD gets plugged in next (soon as I need to delete my S:AAB DVD's as the boxset was just released)

I already have the official Japanese dvd so I was wondering if Angrysun's version includes even more footage...


Only the Japanese Version of Kill Bill offers fans the FULL Color version of the final showdown battle in the House of Blue Leaves! Get the whole adrenaline-pumping action in its special hardcore cut version, which lets you enjoy a totally new level of violence and it also includes three additional minutes of footage!

The Cure in Orange
Angrysun Laserdisc transfer and DVD authoring
Running Time: 1:49:39

The Cure Live at Theatre Antique D'Orange, Orange Provence, Cote D'Azur, France on August 9th 1986 - Shot in 35mm

In the fall of 1986 The Cure played a string of festivals and concerts in Spain and France. The last, on Saturday, August 9th at The Theatre Antique D'Orange a Roman Amphitheatre in Cote D'Azur, France, was filmed in it's entirety by Director Tim Pope. A few neat little known facts; Due to the tight budget (which limited the number of cameras used) all the live audience footage & stage long shots were filmed the day of the concert but the majority of the close-ups were really shot the day after as not to disrupt the live show the night before. The video may seem to drop in and out of sync at times during the film this is present on all known prints (U.S. LD, Japanese LD, and both PAL and NTSC VHS tapes) and seems to be have been caused by the editing of both the live and staged footage.

On the Edge of Blade Runner - ANGRY/CITIZEN version
Citizen VHS transfer and Angrysun DVD authoring
Running Time: 52 min 14 sec

Produced in 2000 by Nobles Gate Ltd. for Channel 4 was directed by Andrew Abbott and hosted/written by Mark Kermode, and will be included in the Special Edition. Interviews with production staff, including Ridley give details into the creative process and turmoil during preproduction. Stories from Paul M. Sammon and Fancher provide insight into Philip K. Dick and the origins of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Interweaved are cast interviews with the notable exceptions of Harrison Ford and Sean Young. Through these interviews we get a sense of how difficult and frustrating the film was to make as a result of an exacting director without allies and hot, wet, smoggy conditions; which added to the high pressure atmosphere everyone increasingly felt as the film went over budget. There is also a tour of some locations, most notably the Bradbury Building and the Warner Brothers backlot that was the LA 2019 streets, which look very different from Ridley's dark version.

The documentary then details the test screenings postproduction editing/changes (voice over and happy ending, deleted Holden hospital scene), special effects, soundtrack by Vangelis, and the unhappy relationship between the filmmakers and the investors; which culminated in Deeley and Ridley being fired but still working on the film. The question of whether or not Deckard is a replicant surfaces. After being a "disaster" in the box office (a financial loss initially) Blade Runner was reborn in the video rental market, and a great reception of a chance screening of Ridley's workprint at the Fairfax Theater, Los Angeles, in May 1990 led to Warner Bros. having the "Director's Cut" done by film archivist Michael Arick.

There's a really nice Widescreen DVD that I made & sent to some friends a few months ago. There's also a torrent of it currently floating around. I'd love to enter it in your Fan Edit contest, if someone points me in the right direction...

I took all 3 films, plus some of the Animatrix, and made a much different film out of it. I described the process HERE, but I'd be glad to chip in & help anyone who has questions about doing their own. It was a lot of fun...The biggest leap I made was replacing the English audio with a dubbed Chinese track, then I could alter the subtitles to suit my new plotline. Also, Keanu is much more tolerable when some Chinese actor has dubbed his voice...heh heh.

I used the NLE system of VEGAS VIDEO, which allowed for a very professional-looking end product.

I was inspired by that Phantom Edit originally, but am not such a super-Matrix fan that I didn't mind really changing it




First, WELCOME to the forums!

Thios sounds like a GREAT idea, I just got the Matrix DeZIONized and dug that but yours sound a bit more thrilling with the inclusion of the Animatrix footage is very nice (I'd kicked a Matrix Edit around for a bit and wanted to use some of the game footage - still might )

I'll see about getting this upped to the newsgroups and torrents (in DVD form) for ya

Rik: Have you heard about some people reporting that on their TiVo units they've noticed shows that have been "flagged" for deletion by the system after a certain amount of time?


- Yes, I've heard of this but have not had it happen myself BUT I've had this happen in the past during beta software. NOW I know that when this has happened in the past the honest reason was that TiVo Suggestions and all TiVo recordings are kept on the HD for a set amount of time OR if a new recording has a hight priority then recorded shows NOW back in the tivo would start to delete shows as the HD filled up; suggestions first then recorded shows - some of the first software versions would auto delete shows in 7 days in order to make room for more recordings.

I believe the official line from the company was that they were testing this technology but have no intentions of deploying it. Pretty much the people who were targeted believe that it's the first steps in copyright holders protecting themselves by not allowing someone to retain copies for an extended period of time.


BUT

I also know that TiVo has been against the wall for some time and the MPAA is not gonna back down SO this MAY very well be a sign...
