It hadn’t occurred to me. The impression I got from poking around a RH forum many years ago was that it wasn’t held in high regard, (being considered a “home video” mix) using album versions of the songs and losing little things from the mono mix.
I could certainly capture it though.
But is the THX remaster the same mix, or a another thing altogether?

Pretty sure that’s the one I have.

So, not the THX mastered one?

The Rocky Horror box set? I’ve heard the audience participation track is not the same as the DVD. I’ve got the first bare bones LD release somewhere around here.

So glad Trumpy has time to go campaign when Puerto Rico is turning into a disaster film. And you want fire football players who protest, Mr. President? Buy a freaking team of your own, if you can afford it. 😉

The problem was all the U.S. discs recycled the same ancient Discovision master with mediocre sound. The common Japanese disc wasn’t much better. The only digital version that seemed to exist was a PAL version in Europe. Someone did eventually find the elusive Japanese Grease LD remaster with digital sound and captured it. Need to bug them about getting a copy. The sync someone else did with my VHS Hi Fi capture turned out great though.

I’d be more than willing to do the captures for you. Analog LD audio is a lot easier for me to deal with actually, as I run it straight into a DVD recorder on the highest quality setting, so the end result is PCM audio.
I have some home repair pending, so I might have to move my gear where it won’t be easy to access until this winter though. Going to try and make space in another room for it if I can.

Yes, but non CX analog audio is better than nothing at all. Mono seems to fair better than stereo on older titles. The trick is to capture them on a older gas tube player like I have. Later models with digital sound aren’t so hot in the analog dept. Some models make it difficult to turn CX off on non encoded discs resulting in muffled sound.
VHS or Beta Hi Fi might be better, but finding a flawless tape is another hit or miss situation. When I captured a factory sealed VHS of Grease I still had audio dropouts to contend with.

Paramount has a terrible track record for remastering it’s early LD titles. I still have fits from trying to find a digital sound remaster of Grease pre 20th anniversary remix.

Going off a brief perusal of the LDDB, there are two Japanese pressings of the original 13th that have CX noise reduction where the domestic pressing doesn’t.

It’s a mixed bag on the rest as Paramount went CX depending on whether the sun was out that day. Analog LD tracks have a bit of background hum and hiss without CX, but I suppose somebody could filter it out?

Unfortunately, none of these will be cheap as fans snap up everything to do with the films these days.

Now I just need someone to watch The Indestructible Man and send me all the timecodes when they talk about Jimmy Smits.

Haven’t I done enough for you? 😉

Someone could restore the deleted MST3K movie theater scenes that way.

I would think Carrie’s death cast a shadow the long post production process. There weren’t any pickups shot after were there?

I can’t help but think somebody is in a lot of trouble over this.

An anthology film about the Falcon’s previous owners might actually work. Ending with Lando getting it. If the ship is still as old as it used to be.

Peyton Reed, director of Ant Man, tweeted this yesterday.

"Dear Lucasfilm,

Please release a Blu-ray of the original, unmessed-with version of STAR WARS I loved when I was 13.

Thanks,

Peyton"

And retweeted at the OT twitter. Thanks for finding that.

I don’t see the connection to Sean Spicer but I’m sure it’s there somewhere.

He has a cameo as a giant rabbit. But not Jaxxon. 😛

If she accompanied Kylo Ren to Endor to get Vader’s helmet, meeting the Ewoks again got really awkward! 😛

I once had this crazy idea that Mace survived the events of Battle For Endor and rules over the Duloks like Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.

Well, Han’s boast to Obi Wan did involve the Kessel Run.

That’s probably the movie I’m thinking of.

Has MJF ever sung in a movie? Can only recall one other film where he’s a musician.

Aside from the “lost” footage, someone could drop in shots from the full frame DVD and restore a good chunk of it.

I don’t think the NFL hires these guys based on their IQ. 😉

This sounds like an episode of South Park!

When did Hot Shots come out on Blu Ray?

And since we’re getting a widescreen version of the Superman tv cut, it could be in a plain brown wrapper at this point. I’m buying it. 😉

This factoid from the wiki is hilarious.
In Brazil Panaka’s name was changed to “Panassi” due to the fact that his name is similar to “panaca” which means "douchebag."

Making Panaka eventually side with the Empire in the EU almost seems like punishment for actor Hugh Quarshie since he declined to return for AOTC.

Wow!

Can you get a list of what else he’s got? They might have other movie related music videos.
