Do these by any chance have the SE trailers? The one for ANH/Trilogy is featured on the official discs, but the ones for ESB and ROTJ aren't. In fact, I can't find them anywhere with the exception of some low-res quicktime files that are about the size of my thumb.

I like T3. Nearly all films have flaws. Anyway, is the deleted scene being re-inserted the one with Arnold playing a soldier being the model for the Terminator? If so, I actually thought it was a bad scene though I haven't seen it or the film since I rented the DVD when it came out.

I thought Annie Hall was alright when I first saw it, but really loved it after another viewing. I still prefer Star Wars though.

I do think the OT has some pretty wooden dialogue. Just looking over JennyS1138's list of great dialogue, it really is all in the delivery! It's memorable but is something like "Governor Tarkin, I should have known it was you holding Vader's leash. I smelled your foul stench when I was brought on board" really a great line? It's pretty stilted and I know I wouldn't be caught dead saying it. It's just memorable because Alec, Harrison, Yoda and the gang made you believe in the words with the way they said them. That's something that's in short supply with the actors in the prequels.

I'd say he's a fairly well known actor. People just won't go see him for any old movie he's in like they would with Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks.

I think some of the awkwardness in the dialogue comes from just the formality of speech. Anakin has to call Obi-Wan "master" and has to address Padme as "m'lady" and "senator" due to his status. It's a sign of respect and as a padawan, he probably would've been whipped into properly addressing authority figures. I'm sure the dialogue (especially Padme's) would've sounded much more natural if her character used contractions, but they made a point of keeping the speech so damn formal. In many cases it's distracting and I know I don't like it, but Lucas probably felt this was important for whatever reason.

I can't say I have too much of a problem with the acting. I thought Portman was pretty bland in AOTC though I thought she did a great job in Episode I. I feel Christensen did an okay job with what he was given (his character is supposed to be whiny and arrogant as even stated in the films). The dialogue in the love story has lots of clunkers and I feel the restoration of the Padme's family scenes would have helped the love story feel more natural. I also think that it's better to have all the Anakin/Padme scenes in rather than cutting any (except for the ones where they visit the capital and the rolling in the grass). They really do feel like a natural progression. Without the family scenes, the love seems too sudden and without the others, (like it in the Magnoliafan edit) I don't think it goes anywhere.

Was the script for The Phantom Menace really not completed done when they started shooting? The documentary on the DVD shows them having a script read through prior to filming as well as extensive storyboarding. If it wasn't complete, it must have been very damn close to it.

And I also don't know where the Mason Gamble as Anakin came from. Was he up for the role? It appeared to be up between some brown haired midget, some blonde kid (not Mason), and Jake Lloyd.

I personally would love it if Moth3r's discs were posted on the newsgroup. ANH may have been posted before (though I was too late and couldn't download it) but I don't believe ESB has been yet.

I got the 48 hour delay thing too, but I was still able to seed for a few hours earlier. I just switched to Azureus and for some reason when I have it on, it severely slows down my internet connection for sites and other downloads. Since I'm trying to d/l ESB from the newsgroup, I'm going to put off seeding again until I'm done.

If you can't do it at myspleen, you can try demonoid. I believe anyone can upload a torrent there.

In all honesty, I have no clue what par files do. I've never used them so I assumed there was no real use for them. I'll have to research.

EDIT: Wow. I wish I knew what par files were before. It would've saved me a lot of trouble when I downloaded a 7 GBs of a rar archive but deleted them because a handful of them were no longer available.

Cool artwork! Is that the cover by bunnydojo from the thread you made at DVDTalk? In case anyone didn't know, he's a rather highly respected artist in the custom dvd cover scene.

I haven't seen the complete Alien Evolution documentary, but the one on the DVD is rather different from the Alien Saga piece. Alien Saga goes through all four movies while Alien Evolution's focus is more on the original Alien and its impact (if I recall corrently, they interview everyday people for their reactions to the chestburster scene). With only about 10 minutes cut from the Evolution doc on the DVD, I doubt it went much into the other films.

I taped this off of TV when it aired on Fox and watched it a good couple of times since. It's a great documentary and thanks for baby hum for the release! This was the first release of his I downloaded with menus, etc and I was disappointed to see some user restrictions on the DVD's functions (probably due to the authoring program). For example, you can't search for a timeframe or use the "menu" button on your remote. Not a huge problem, but I'm the type that's been annoyed by these restricitons since I noticed them on retail DVDs. Fortunately, these restrictions can be taken away if you run the files through DVD Shrink!

thought that DVD-18 are Warner speciality - Superman the Movie is on DVD-18 and packed in snapper case

I don't think Warners has really used DVD-18s since they started doing 2-Disc Special Editions. Universal is a studio that seems to pride itself on squeezing as much content on a single disc as possible. Up until a year or two ago, multi disc sets were fairly rare from them. They've been using DVD-18s recently for their television releases and on such titles as Schindler's List and the Casino SE. Double sided discs themselves aren't uncommon. DVD-14s have been commonly used by Fox and MGM.

I guess it's not really necessary to transfer the video from the LD if the Director's Cut is being released. The official DVD is likely to have superior video to the LD anyway. No news yet on the commentary, but I'd think it's safe to assume it'll be on the retail disc. And if not, it wouldn't be hard to sync up to the DVD's video.

But since it's only going be a single disc release, the 4 1/2 hour documentary should still definitely be transfered.
