Help: looking for... Reckless (1984 - Aidan Quinn)
Time

Uh huh.  You'll get banned with that kind of talk mister - not least since a widescreen TV rip is already on several torrent trackers and easily found without having to shill $20.

I recently also got a full resolution dvd capture of it (not the xvid encode). Only problem is it is letterboxed; I'm guessing because of how the dvd recorder captured it (not my capture). But I fixed it by cropping it and making it look exactly like the xvid encode. I also have official movie scan pictures I bought.

I might put some work into this project if I ever get any free time. This is the first time I've visited this forum in months :(

Idea & Info: Grindhouse (possible fan-edit?)

Around 2-3 years ago, hotel ppv systems were commonly used as sources for pirate "SCREENER" copies. Typically the releases were presented as 4:3 pan and scan and were free of any watermarks or "property of" messages. All it took to make a copy was a laptop with a USB TV tuner.

I haven't stayed in a hotel recently, but I would expect these days that their ppv systems have encryption and tamper alarms to stop illegal copies being made. The fact that there hasn't been a scene SCREENER release of Grindhouse is a good indication that it's not as easy as it used to be.


Some have a flashing watermark that says property of hotel in it that appears at random in certain frames of the movie.

Info: Halloween (2007) - workprint leaked

I'm glad that this leaked; it's cool to see the production of it.
The theatrical version is going to be different anyways. Alot of cuts and even different ending.
I'm still going to go see this in the theater Friday with some friends.

Blade Runner 2, 4, and 5-disc sets in December

Well, don't go in expecting Raiders of the Lost Ark, as Blade Runner is pretty slow. I thought it was dull the first time I saw it, but now it's one of my favorite films. While it's extremely well made and will challenge you, what sets it apart, for me, is how atmospheric and ethereal it is. The score, the haze, the set designs, the camera angles. Just awesome.

I couldn't have said it any better!

Idea: 'The Dark Crystal' - Isolated Music Score - an edit?

The limited edition soundtrack set, though, is 2-disc. The first disc is the original soundtrack album as it was presented on vinyl, and the second disc is the complete score. So I don't see why there'd be a need for a vinyl rip at all.

Oh k, my bad I didn't know it was a 2 disc set. 1st disc would work then.
I would still love to pick up the record for it though. I'm a vinyl junkie.

It's definitely a major problem with Linksys routers...


Check this out

Everything just started going haywire as soon as I set up a static IP and started Port forwarding. Today, without starting up any P2P software it just started dropping my Internet connection. As soon as I turned off Port forwarding and set everything back to auto.. the problems stopped. It's a problem with a lot of Linksys routers. I just wish I done a lot more research before I slapped down £40 ($80) . So I now have to buy another router. Since getting Cable Broadband it's cost me a fair bit of money!

Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys!

I picked up a nice Netgear gateway/router at my local Goodwill store for $10
Might want to check any Goodwill or Salvation Army thrift stores like that.

You have to open up some ports on the router.
An example for a torrent program such as Utorrent is
