Somewhat unrelated. I've been trying to use DVD Lab-Pro and am having a small problem. I added a slideshow by accident. Simple question, but how do I remove it? I don't see anything that allows me to do so.

I was shocked at how you changed the entire context
of the meadow scene just by cutting it before showing
that he was joking about "Well...If it works..." And
then she gives a concerned look, like "warning sign!"

This was actually a problem I had with the edit of Episode II. His response is just so dark and surprising and her look indicates something ominous. Then it just cuts. There's no follow up. The moment is played up and Padme acknowledges there's something wrong with him, but there's nothing. It's kinda like a twist on a TV show. A character reveals a big twist, the music rises to a dramatic height and it cuts to a commercial break. But here you never get back to it. It's a dangling thread. It's just so shocking for the Padme character that I can't believe she can shrug it off like this cut implies. I kinda like the bit from the original movie because there's nowhere else to go but to either A) have a heated discussion of politics with Anakin or B) cut the tension with a joke. It's like you knew he wasn't really joking, but he goes along with the notion that it is a joke because he knows he went too far. Actually, I don't know if this is how it comes across in the original movie, but I like to think of it this way.

But it's still a great edit of the movie and there were a lot of great decisions made, but this and several other cuts just feel like they stop in the middle of a scene.

DF002 looks like it's dead over at Myspleen.

Are there any plans to release these via the newsgroups?

While I'm hopeful Universal is releasing the full documentary, keep in mind that those extras listings are for the UK only and don't necessarily apply to the R1 release.

Doesn't matter to me. Studios re-release titles all the time. Sometimes with better editions, sometimes with worse. It's just part of the DVD world. Since this is a downgrade of last year's version, there's neither any need to rebuy it (unless you really love the cover that much) or get upset over it.

eliasbboy also made an attempt to convert a laserdisc of another chronological recut of The Godfather Saga but ultimately failed I believe. You can read about his attempt over at the thread titled "other ld-rips to dvd movies ex. blade runner int cut, songs of the south, frighteners dir cut"

I'll second Neil's request.

I've been highly anticipating these but I ended up putting them at the bottom of my download queue to all that stuff segaflip's been posting to the newsgroup. I figured news servers only keep messages for a few weeks while torrents have a longer life. Unfortunately, these torrents aren't looking too hot as far as the seeders go.

Why watch a 2-D movie in 3-D? I'm not too familiar with the format (I skipped both those 3-D Robert Rodriquez flicks) but a 3-D movie sounds fairly stupid to me. Is Lucas' release of the trilogy in 3-D gonna use new technology or something so that things look actually three dimensional or is this just the usual lame red and blue?

What's the difference between this version of Jedi/Feta's Blade Runner and the one you posted over the summer?

I know the commentary from the Criterion LD of Raging Bull is on the MGM SE DVD. Not sure about the other extras.

Does anyone else feel this transfer looks too dark?

That was my initial reaction after I downloaded it from the newsgroups. There are some moments that seem so dark that I couldn't make out what was happening. I compared it with Farsight's transfer and the Director's Cut DVD and they don't seem to be this dark.

Anyone alse have this problem? I believe this was a direct capture of the Criterion LD, so if there's a problem, I'm guessing it's with the source. Can anyone confirm that the Criterion LD is really dark?

Is the "Jedi/Feta - Ep 4 SE" DVD that you've posted the same as the first disc from "Jedi/Feta's - SE Set (4 DVDs)"?

With the DVD finally being released in a few months, I guess it's not really worth it to make the LD conversion public since the new DVD should look great (they've spent years tracking down the best film elements).

But the commentary is definitely worth preserving since it was the first ever recorded! Maybe if you don't want to go to the trouble of releasing an entire disc for a commentary, it might be more convenient to rip the commentary and maybe release it as an mp3 file or something. I know it's a track I'm very interested in listening to.

Well, his comment even applies to his TV work. He wrote and directed an episode of Angel around one scene and ended up cutting it. Uses the same logic in his commentary for it.

I think Serenity will be fine. From reviews and reactions I've read, the movie's not without its flaws but it's very good.

I know Rikter's torrent of the LD transfer comes with a nice cover. I have a scan of the single disc retail version if you'd like it. It has cool retro looking art on the cover.
