The Hateful Eight - Extended Miniseries (Released)
Time

This blu ray contains all four episodes of the extended miniseries edition of Hateful Eight.

  • 1080P MPEG4 AVC Video
  • DTS HD 5.1 Audio
  • Optional English Subtitles
  • Sam Jackson’s Guide to Glorious 70mm (from the Blu Ray)
  • Beyond The Eight (from the Blu Ray)
  • The Hateful Eight An Inside Look (From the exclusive Target DVD)
  • Press Conference (From Youtube)
  • Cast Interviews (From Youtube)
  • Two Trailers and a TV Spot (From Youtube)

The disc is BD-J, created using professional software with resume function and menus. There is the option to watch individual episodes or the whole series. I would strongly suggest burning this to a physical disc as software blu ray players don’t always handle menus well.

PM if interested.

Help: looking for... Criterion Laserdisc - Special Features
Time

Hi All,

So I’ve got plenty of Criterion Laserdisc restoration projects in the pipeline - see the Dead Presidetns

For some of them I already have all the special features captured from the laserdiscs but I am missing those below. I really want to create faithful restorations and include every bonus feature even the less significant ones, but unfortunately I do not have a laserdisc player anymore. If anyone out there can with capturing the items below that would be a great help and much appreciated.

Most of these are still image galleries, if someone could capture them I would only need a few seconds of each as I’ll extract the images and build slideshows.

Hopefully someone out there can help, and if they can then the finished products will be posted on here.

Thanks

Friday the 13th Part 3 - Half SBS 3D (Released)
Time

I did not create the video for this project myself, but I am posting here with the full blessing of the anonymous person who did. This version has never been released officially, all home video versions have been 3D Anaglyph so they use the paper glasses not the glasses that come with modern 3D TVs. It turns out when the DVD was created it used one of the cameras and the Blu Ray used the other, so the person who created it used combined both, to create a ‘proper’ 3D effect. This took an incredible amount of time as every frame needed to be aligned and colour corrected so the two matched.

This has since shown up on the internet as an MVC video, which is the way official 3D blu rays are encoded. The problem with the MVC version is the quality is reduced, as this project was originally made as half SBS and then someone re-encoded it to MVC. The benefit of MVC is your 3D TV may not automatically detect Half SBS as 3D, you might have to tell your TV via the remote control. So take your pick but I prefer better quality.

The blu ray contains:

  • Half SBS 3D Version
  • English 5.1 DTS HD MA (exclusive to this release)
  • Optional English Subtitles (with 3D depth)
  • Fresh Cuts 3D Terror
  • Legacy Of The Mask
  • Slasher Films: Going For The Jugular
  • Jason Actor Panel 2006
  • Cast & Crew Reunion 2007
  • Theatrical Trailer

PM me if interested.

Thanks

Ticker 2001 - Two Versions and Two Commentary Tracks (Released)
Time

This is not the best movie ever made by far but this should hopefully be the most complete edition of it. This combines five different previous editions into one, including two rare bootleg releases from Albert Pyun himself.

This custom made blu ray contains:

  • HD 1080P AVC from the OOP Norwegian Blu Ray
  • English 5.1 DTS HD and 2.0 Dolby Digital Audio Options
  • Optional English Subtitles
  • Audio Commentary against the theatrical version, which was censored by the Producers to remove a lot of Albert Pyun’s criticism of the project
  • Alternate Director’s Cut in SD - released on a bootleg by Albert Pyun himself - rough quality with some effects incomplete but he said it was the best he could do with the materials he had access to. English 2.0 Dolby Digital Audio.
  • Audio Commentary against the Director’s Cut released by Albert Pyun, full uncensored version with the truth about what happened on production
  • Making Of Documentary
  • Trailer
  • Animated Blu Ray menus and resume function

PM me if interested.

Thanks
