That's definitely the Captain Supermarket version. According to lddb and imdb, t has both endings, as well as the censored shot of ripping Shiela's dress.

Ok, maybe this is a dumb question, does this mean those promotional clips (with the german dialogue) that have been popping up lately aren't from the actual blu-ray?

Just the international cut, which is on the official 5 disc retail dvd briefcase, or blu ray.
It is non anamorphic, interlaced on the Rikter dvd.
The official version is restored not sure if the color timing is any different on the dvd versus the laserdisc though, which makes a preservation of this sort kind of valid to hold onto.
Is not the Tv cut the same as the theatrical with the narration but only censored and therefore unremarkable?

Yay! The 97-she exists! But fading already? What, do they purposefully mishandle and improperly store prints so that they deteriorate? Maybe these prints all sit in a Fox vault. Sounds like what an art house will typically get from a studio for a weekend rental.
If any LFL people read this: just transfer the original SE!
Any idea if it was shown in Dolby or DTS?

It doesn't look like he left on bad terms at all. It looks like the last time he was here, he was asking for someone to upload PaulisDead's Vintage Edit (which he now admits over at HTF). He says the "tone" here has changed since the Blu-Rays were announced.
Really? I find that very hard to believe. The tone here hasn't changed since I started posting in '06. He got what he came here for so now he's free to insult the OT members on another site.
What was the ot.com gallandro's last post? Did he leave in bad terms?

I found his YouTube videos. There was a link on his profile page. He used some of Adywan's footage. There are two videos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fMs-j4rpbw" target="_blank">one for A New Hope</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw6mHFccFgo" target="_blank">another for Empire Strikes Back</a>.
Terminator just was filled with new sound effects, sometimes to be more realistic or improve continuity. They also enhanced the sound of the dialogue. Honestly, as I grew up with the mono mix, it was just very different from the original cheap sounding audio, which sounded more techno and electronic, creating a better 80's atmosphere... I think they were trying to have it more comparable to the different Terminator 2.
I would guess that he's just saying that it had very little "surround effect" in the past and not that good separation. Of course, I'm not sure how a brand new mix would work; it may be great sounding but also radically different. I do hope they don't modernize it too much like in some releases... *cough* Terminator! *cough*
Your subtitle method sound pretty sweet since it would look the same quality as in the laserdisc. To be honest I'm tired of when official DVDs cheap out and use the subtitle track.
I look forward to whenever you upload them... unless it's the newsgroups (I have no access). When I see them, I'll be sure to give you any feedback you may need.

If you'd like to have the ones I did finish that's no problem, but they are very very rough. I tried all kinds of things on these transfers just to see what was possible on the software I could use.

I am quite certain I saw the full Biggs reunion in the theater multiple times mid-1977. Unlike the hook, the Biggs scene isn't an incidental thing, but a lengthy scene with significant dialogue. I don't expect people to believe me, but I don't mind... I'm confident my memory will be vindicated someday!
Strange how I recall it so vividly as well. I hope my memory isn't playing tricks on me, which it has and that time it was also a vivid memory. :-(
I saw it sometime between 2002 and 2005, thinking that "Luke's father" was the AOTC version of Anakin. I remember being quite fascinated about it for some time. It was actually what really inspired me to think about how Episode IV really came first and the film makers didn't really know how they would eventually portray Luke's father in the prequels. I started wondering about production history... then being intrigued by an unaltered VHS... then wanted to learn more about getting unaltered versions.. I suppose it inadvertently led to a chain of events which led me to this site...... jeez and I can't even find it.
It's ironic how a lie your memory plays on you can lead to so much...
I remember seeing it on a TV in widescreen, the exact same angle as in the Special Edition. I distinctly remember the Pilot's line "I knew you're father. He was the best starpilot in the galaxy," then he later said, "If you're half as good as he is, you'll be all right."
If anyone's curious, at my disposal, I had the Faces Laserdiscs, the Widescreen Special Edition VHSes, the 1990 Trilogy Box Set, the mid-1980's CBS/Fox issues, From Star Wars to Jedi, and the 2004 set.

Apologies for the bump to this thread, but does anyone still have the King Kong Criterion commentary which is ready to sync to the DVD? The link earlier in the thread no longer works, but I'm still interested.
Out of curiosity, FanFiltration, how are your "A Hard Day's Night" and upgraded Banned Bond DVDs going?
EDIT: Bought the King Kong Criterion laserdisc for $2.95 today. :-D

Wow sweet! Sorry captainsolo, I just noticed this thread while browsing through the forum. I'd be interested in these three even if there's just IVTC'ing done. Were you ever planning to share these?
Is BLAX20 just the International Cut or is it the Criterion disc's special features as well?

Honestly, I found the clarifications to be more like excuses...or revisionist history, if you like.
To be absolutely honest, I don't fully remember his posts because of his faux pas of deleting all of them, and, if he could reinstate his posts somehow, that would make everything much more clear. However, if he indeed just completely, utterly poorly worded his departure posts, then he deserves to make that, especially if it's the truth (which we'll probably never completely deny/verify). Maybe it is revisionist truth but there is the other hand.
What was with that comment about people thinking this was so easy?
Yeah, that was probably just an emotional comment thrown in there. I just skipped over it... A calm, cool and thoroughly composed response is what I hope will eventually be given.
Okay, perhaps the word "holocaust" was overly dramatic but it is sad that the average consumer doesn't care.
generalfrevious said:
It's a silent holocaust, and unfortunately Joe Public will still not care, whether now or 20 years from now. And that is why future DVD releases of SW will always suck.
It's so sad yet so so true. A lot of people would completely accept a DVNR-ed, blue tinted, EE-d monstrosity that has less detail than a laserdisc. :-(
I think it's perfect volume. It is quite funny.
Hello Darth Stewie. As was said before by Bingowings and even Adywan himself, very eloquently I must say, the lack of responses was not because we did not care for the edit, but because we thought that the direction you were headed in was fine and that complimenting you was unnecessary. There are many users here who just look at threads and don't even post a single comment, so a better way to judge whether your edit is getting attention is by sheer number of views. I, for one, was part of those who did comment on it, and I even remarked that I would be interested at the final outcome. As the thread went on, I didn’t comment as much, solely because I no longer had anything to say, and I can assume others did the same. We often take it for granted that fan editors feel enough support and motivation that there need not be too many comments. All your videos looked wonderful and an interesting new take on Star Wars.
In my honest opinion, perhaps an error on your part was deleting your posts. I vaguely remember your “empty room” post and I am sorry, but your generous intentions were completely lost in the post. It’s good that now you’ve actually clarified what you meant, but other members reacted to how it superficially sounded, which did seem a bit rude. Quite a few members here were genuinely interested in your workings but by your decision to move, most were genuinely confused, especially with no posts left. Once deleted, many people had no idea what happened and assumed you had just left abruptly. Naturally people did get a little antsy from being suddenly deprived of an edit which did indeed look very promising. Maybe because of an uncannily similar, noticeable incident, involving a rather distasteful individual, named Antimatter, who wanted nothing more than the spot light even though he was getting a lot, people automatically assumed you attitude was similar. This may have been unjust on our part but you left no evidence to the contrary.
You must understand that when you abruptly left originaltrilogy and moved to Facebook; it seemed you did this to get your own private place, which is what the other guy did. Also, people who don’t like leaving this site did not care to follow you; this actually gave you less of the motivation which you seek.As I pointed out, your only conversation on your Facebook edit page seemed to be with a relative; it seemed you just were looking for a private arena. We didn’t even consider the fact that you may enjoy the privacy.
In any case, with your newfound clarification of your past actions, more people might understand your reasons for leaving. I don’t think anyone didn’t want to see your edit; everyone was excited and ready to comment when you blatantly asked for it. However, your sudden departure and lack of updates elsewhere did paint a rather bad picture of you and inadvertently did cause some stirring. I do have one tip of advice, the website digital-fanedits.com is really not a good place to share your edit. It was made by the user I mentioned earlier who left solely because he wasn’t getting attention; and yes in his case, it was completely clear.
Feel free to share it with us here at originaltrilogy.com or fanedit.org, as there probably are still people interested if you would do us the honor of some more clarification on your untimely departure since, between deleted posts and unclear follow ups, your intent did get quite muddled. Bad feelings may have been stirred up unjustly due to sheer appearances.

I'm doing some more comps from a while ago, and MAN, when I load up the 97 SE its SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!
Out of curiosity, which version of the 97SE are you using for reference that's beautiful? Laserdisc, Reivax, Flunk, or G'Kar?
A bunch of 18 year olds go to a deserted cabin for a weekend of fun. They find an old audio recorder in the basement and start playing it while doing drugs. It contains an incantation to call demonic spirits towards the cabin. One of them then goes out and is viciously attacked by the forest. When she gets back, she falls victim to demonic possession. Throughout the night, they are becoming demons one by one and the only way to stop them is by bodily dismemberment. Eventually one man remains while all others are possessed. He cuts his own hand off and replaces it a chainsaw when it gets possessed. Eventually, he kills all the demons. However, in the end, it turned out that he had done so much drugs that he imagined all the demons and just viciously killed all his friends and the others....
Unfortunately, I just recited the plot of Evil Dead with the original twist that Scott Spiegel thought of for the second one. Still, it's a generic enough plot that the new twist at the end can actually make a different horror movie if done well. You could also interchange the demons with ghosts, zombies, or even mutants for more originality.
I guess my main point is that it's not necessarily how original the idea is, but how well you can make it work. I mean even classics like The Shining weren't that original; the cast and director were just really good.
EDIT: Still, of the ideas on this thread, I do like Ziggy's. We need more horror movies in the jungle...
