Frink really loves the Milhouse eyebrows.

I gotta bring back this OT meme.
For the record, I never flat-out claimed this was a hoax. And neither has Frink. The "proof" he was looking for is regarding whether or not -1 is still involved. I just asked if anyone was going to bother exploring moth3r's claim that they could have been 2004 DVD color corrections; suffice to say, his later retraction satisfied me.
A little less snark all around would be nice. I'm gonna keep my trap shut from here on out and keep the lolz to off-topic mocking.

Replace Palpatine's laugh with Vincent Price's at the end of Thriller.
Seconding this notion.
Is it really as hard to leave scientology as the internet would have me believe?
^Interesting theory MarzGurl has there. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't put it past Disney to do this as a publicity thing rather than a legitimate casting call. After all, I sincerely doubt they'll cast unknowns in prominent roles.
For roughly 40 minutes this was available on capedwonder. Did anyone manage to snag it? I don't even think that's enough time to finish the download!
source: here. Hopefully there will come a time when they feel they've laid low long enough and this comes to light.

oh, and Killer Instinct suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

lol, question dodging
Let's go with "I hope so" because I have definitely posted that as a joke otherwise.
I've done a better job of making my sarcasm apparent, though.
Agreed on the above. I have a unviersal adblocker in place, but if the banner ads really make a difference I'll gladly add an exception for OT.com in the future.
Guess I find the lulz too much to pass up.
Also, I can't wait to see what you do with those Super8 scans either AntcuFaalb. Super8 may be a little grainy for my taste, but I can't deny the preview clips I saw wowed me with their color.
At this point I'd rather be left in the dark until it's all fucking done and over with. This is ridiculous.

The blog. I may be incorrect about all of them, but he listed at least one of them for sale and then told us it sold.
These rescans lead me to believe either this is not the case, or the buyer joined the Team.
He did sell it; that print is gone.
My inside source says that a new better condition 35mm print has been acquired.
Interesting. If I recall correctly they never mentioned that part when talking about their rescans...
advanced txt editor strikes again in Chrome!
Hey all,
Wondering if either part of this wonderful set is still available. I definitely don't have the OT and I'd be interested in checking that one out. On Fanedit.info there appear to be RS links, but it doesn't clarify which trilogy it contains.

Remember when -1 said he sold off all the SW prints?
Apparently neither does the Team. I'm starting to think we're really being had, here. Pretty sure if it weren't for the fact that their project could be the end-all-be-all of public preservation efforts, they'd have been banned long ago.
So... anyone gonna pull out the 04 dvd to compare the cropping? Moth3r made a pretty serious, and largely ignored thus far, claim that deserves addressing.

Yeah, my removed comment was calling them out on this but my evidence went back to September so I felt like it wasn't recent enough.
This deal is getting worse all the time!
That'll be the day when Jay fixes a bug that doesn't involve the whole site crashing...

Either I have offended Moth3r, or am unworthy to be acknowledged by them.
Dude, don't sweat it if someone takes awhile to respond to your PMs.
edit: am I the only person who the advanced text editor has been randomly switching formatting on recently? For software out for like 5 years this still has a ton of crippling bugs.
All right. I'll be that guy.
If you have so many down converted versions available, why can't we at least have a SD workprint by now? I get not releasing the raw scan but we are being spoonfed the same content over and over; many of these screens you've been posting, we saw ages ago. It's hard to get excited when you're clearly withholding content.

I tried to watch the Holiday Special last night for the first time in full. Usually, I tend to skim it. What a mistake that was.
Wow. I was with a few friends who did this to humor me, and one of them loved it. Well, at least, for some reason he was captured by the Diahann Carroll segment. Other than that, though, we all hated it. I mean, I couldn't even ironically enjoy it. Turned it off halfway through the cartoon. And yes, for the record, we did use the rifftrax for part of it.
Worst decision I've made this week.
Turn in your fandom card, and clean out your locker. ;)
I did forget to mention that it does one thing none of the films manages. The Holiday Special actually deals with the Empire and normal people. In this regard, the fascist regime we're only told about in the films shines through. Not only is it fun to watch random Imperial soldiers be dicks to Chewbacca's family, it's interesting to see the propaganda film angle they put on the Cantina scene (OK, I finished it last night...)
I wish that there were still so few commercials on network TV. For God's sake, it felt like watching Hulu.
