The text there follows the standard form at fanedit.org, so it's a pretty safe bet that he's already fully aware of the community.
Out of curiosity, if you've not got the edit yet, how do you know that he has "some talent"?
Troy said:Where does it say you have to make an edit to be able to get an edit? That's hardly fair.
Who said life is fair?
He meant that the only way to guarantee your ownership of an edit is to make it yourself, which is spot on.
There are two ways to obtain an edit...get it yourself, or rely on ther kindness of others. And if you're gonna rely on kindness, then you have to be prepared for disappointment.
I've only had two or three instances of getting physical media from people here and for the record, those members were very generous and helpful.
Always nice to find that you're not the only one who loves Temple.

In terms of crazy lists, it's probably worth mentioning that the loudest voices in the Indy thread belong to people who have stated that they aren't actually doing an edit themselves.
They just really, really want someone else to do it for them. (Apparently, they are doing all the "hard work" and the editing itself should be a piece of cake when following their step-by-step guide.)
I AM NOT, and will not get into a war over this.
White43 just told you how to get the edit you'd like to see.
Or if you feel that it is beyond your means to do it yourself, just wait 'til there are a bunch of edits available, then splice together your own preferred cut from what you like best from each of them.

HeKS said: So even after the reconciliation at the end of LC, they still make it clear that he wants to keep using Indiana and not switch to Henry Jones Jr.
In my opinion, however, no explanation would be good enough considering the movie is called INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL
I dunno...I kind of figured that it was symbolic of where he is in life now. His acceptance of the name Henry would come from bonding with his father years earlier, and I can imagine it healing the old wounds that led to him adopting "Indy" in the first place*.
Characters can grow and change, even if fans often don't want them to. :)
*Though I haven't seen a lot of the Young Indy Chronicles, so I have no idea when the name was introduced in those stories.
I'm honestly surprised to see schadenfreude over this.
Aren't we editors/preservationists/collectors all in this together?
I was joking.
No way, man. Anything over 96kbps is a waste of space.
Focus, shouldn't it actually be "Leon's Room" rather than Leo?
I know the back of the CD says Leo, but if I had a nickel for every CD with spelling mistakes...
What do you think?
Max_Rebo said: The review says the video quality on the extended version isn't great, what's you opinion on that?
I think it looks pretty damn good, actually. Certainly better than we've ever seen it before. And arguably not far from the quality of the regular version.
Here's some caps...(theatrical cut caps are first)
By the by, I got my copy today, and that review is spot on. Censored version of the extended cut.
Looks like I'll be splicing before long.
^"Unrated" means just that, the feature is not rated. That is no guarantee of content.
A shame they bitched out on this one, but at least now I will have a logoless version of the long cut in 1:85:1, so I can do a full cut of this for myself.
topdawg193 said:I also know that InfoDroid and UncannyAntman are planning on doing edits
Mine probably won't be the kind of thing anyone will look forward to. Not only is it a long way off, but I think it will be a much gentler cut than what most people would like.
It looks like Info may be going the less-conventional route again with Crystal Skull. (A non-linear cut, like his Temple edit) Sounds like it could be really interesting.
Man, there's barely a single effect that I'd even dream of truly altering in Ghostbusters.
Mainly I'd only fix matte boxes, some transparency issues, and other similar "limitations" of the era.
I'm dying for that Gremlins release WolfMan!
And I mean that literally.
Dying.
I've flicked through some of the edit, and most of the extras, and just wanted to say "Well done!" McFly.
It was great to see some of the decision making and work on getting the edit as nice as possible.
I can't stop watching the new Gremlins invasion. Can't wait to have it on DVD.
It doesn't have the multiple audio tracks that people seem to want, but there is this version I threw together for myself, if anyone is interested...

If someone was to overlay the fullscreen image with the widescreen one, what aspect ratio would that measure out to?
It wouldn't be anything. Neither would fill out the other to the corners, so you'd just get a cross-shaped image.
The very last image does lend some credibility to the claim of a wider aspect ratio...notice the left side is pan 'n scanned further to the left than the widescreen version actually shows. So there's definitely image info available that isn't being presented on the 1:85 copy.
