TR-47 Selling Star Wars

I know most of you kids don't give a damn about anything besides Star Wars, which is why I bring this up.

Here's a link of DVD's TR-47 is selling which includes everything from Deleted Magic (karma is a bitch, btw) to Jambe's stuff...it's disgusting.

Maybe I can spell it out for you guys - when people like this are facilitated, they threaten to wreck this hobby for all of us. Think about it. You are not legally entitled to any of this material, despite what you may fool yourselves into thinking or saying to make yourself feel better. At the end of the day we're allowed to exist because fan edits and preservations are pretty much under the radar, but when scum start selling edits, that brings attention to us. Bad attention.

So, when you see this sort of thing, take action. Apathy can kill all of this.

Am i the only one who thought the idea of having natalie as his daughter was an awsome idea, certainly not uncle george mcduck lucas.

I also do not like how this unknown other than having a bit part in i robot is the main guy in transformers wtf?

So he had a cheapy horror movie come out this weekend, i'm not impressed.

Am i the only one who thought short round and willie were the most annoying characters ever and that except for the mine chase scene which was supposed to be in raiders temple was the worst of the trilogy.


...I'm sorry man, but I have to say this. Is there anything that you like?

Dude, calm down. Nobody ever said anything about throwing out old 35mm movies. You are absurd for even mentioning it. You said HD sucks, Cassidy said that a consensus of cinematographers felt that HD was not as bad as people make it out to be, and in fact very comparable to 35mm quality wise. Fair enough. You don't have to agree with that, I myself was shocked because I always heard the contrary. Of course as technology gets better HD will look better. 35mm has been around for a long time, it is silly to believe that someday some new technology wont replace it, but it is even sillier to say that because it gets replaced that everything ever filmed on 35mm must go too.

A hint of advice, sit back and enjoy the movie with your friends. Like you said it just annoys the crap out of them when you pick it apart like that.



No DP ever would willingly shoot in HD. They do it because it is cheaper. Any cinematographe who said that HD is comparable to 35mm should be striken of that title.


And here I thought all along people liked movies for the story and characters...stupid.

And you take Dark Horizon's word as truth? This is a completely unsubstantiated claim, espcially the part about going with a "younger cast." How does Cate Blanchett fit into that?

Just because Shia LaBeouf has been confirmed means nothing.

But so many people seem ready to write this off and be skeptical...it's going to be a fun movie and you all know it.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, God, especially on Dark Horizons.

Updated forum rules regarding fan edits and preservation efforts: a must-read for everyone.
Time
I resptfully ask of the Mods to please explain why Dark/Cassidy's 'Flash Gordon' thread was deleted.

Dark Jedi and I discussed this release at great length before posting, and our interpretation of the rules was that this release clearly fell into the Preservation category. I believe Dark Jedi's reputation also speaks for itself, in terms of what he has done for the Fan Edit and Preservation community; in short, he deserves to be heard and to get cut some slack.

Under the following rule of originaltrilogy.com, I believe Flash Gordon falls into this category:

3. What is a custom DVD?

A custom dvd contains a film essentially the same as a retail release, but with differences in technical details such as sound mix, picture quality, and so on.

Examples:
Japan cut of Kill Bill Vol. 1 with English subtitles only on Japanese dialogue
Star Wars Episode III with comedy "backstroke of the west" subtitles
Any DVD released in letterboxed widescreen converted to anamorphic widescreen
DVDs with an alternative soundmix


The Flash Gordon NTSC DVD is long out of print, and was a shoddy release. Dark/Cassidy's version, which was a conversion of the PAL DVD, featured improved picture quality and an unavailable Dolby Digital 2.0 mix, custom artwork and several rare items on the DVD-ROM.

Dark Jedi and I worked extremely hard on this release, and after much discussion we are curious as to how this project differs from any of the Star Wars fan preservations, in principle. We feel that this release, and ultimately us, are being treated unfairly.

Neither one of us is looking to pick a fight but would like an explanation of the deletion of any mention of the project, Flash Gordon PAL2NTSC, and a clarification of the rules.

Thank You.

STFU jerk.


Read the whole thread, guy. It was a joke.


Really...since you're so informed, where exactly does "netgurucr" say he was "joking"? I seem to remember this knuckle head bitching about his donations before.....


Easy Tiger - no need to get snippy. I seem to remember him bitching to get his money back and then apologizing and kissing ass. It's probably an attempt to poke fun at himself. At least I hope it is.

EDIT - Like when you discussed it with him here for example.
