I've heard it's a strange film. I only know it's a strange road! What a view though.

I'll go ahead and PM walkingdork for you or something. He's a good person to ask, what with being the Spleen ambassador.

alolol

I guess it doesn't look so bad after all. People were making it out to look like Predator but this side-by-side looks all right to me. Though, of course, the added grain shot looks best.

Perhaps they didn't feel it fit the bill for preservation? Did you mention that it's the only available OAR version in your description?

Superman III?

And I'm totally kidding about the Kevin Mccallister thing, so don't worry about that one.

I can will myself stoned... does that count? Well, I can react to people the way I would if I was, at least. And see things the way I would that way. I just have to think about it a lot.

Not sure I entirely relate, though. I just know I can will a certain state of consciousness on myself, but I've never had that out of control-ness about it that you have.

Was the script custom made for this film or would it work on any LD capture?

Just watched Skyfall. It was good, but I think it says something when all the homages to the other films are what gets me interested versus the film's actual merits.

On the first machine I used imgburn to no success; it failed to copy VTS_01_4. The second machine I tried a straight copy, with the same result. I did try to wash the disc but that didn't help much either.

I've hit a bit of a snag. While my computer made it through B&TB with relatively minor hiccups it appears to be unwilling to make an iso of it. I'll give it a shot on another machine, but I might not be able to help the way I'd wanted...

edit: ugh, should've tried to rip it as soon as I got it in the mail! Seems like either it was a dud to begin with or the paper sleeve I'd kept it in might have done the movie in. Again, my computer can watch it - but ripping seems to be out of the question. Is anyone more knowledgeable willing to give some advice? I was looking forward to actually being able to give something back to the community, even if only a repost of someone else's work.

That accounts for the increased brightness but the other color pallet changes were probably done just as a general aesthetic choice.

I know it's coming out in theaters as a 3D rerelease but I dunno if they have plans for a blu-ray. I'll probably go see it but skip out on the home release. I'm not crazy about the 3D as much as I am the chance to see these films on the big screen.

Yes. Significant ones. There's an odd brownish tint to the diamond edition not found on the 3D disc (which as I understand it will downconvert to 2D) and it being removed really helps the colors pop. Whether it's closer to the original I can't say, but it certainly looks better. You can find a comparison here. It best starts showing at about 1:17 through the town scene.

There are copies of this set available on myspleen if you're familiar with torrents.

You. Are. WELCOME. Due to the nature of web archive's links you'll have to click to see our lovely ladyfriend.

^Yes. It looks like a number of the SE fixes that accidentally remained in the "theatrical" cut on DVD have been fixed for the 3D Blu, but not all.

I'm going home this weekend for Thanksgiving. I know I'll at least have *a* chance of some sort of upload speed there, so I'll put it up then. But it would pretty much only be for that short period from wed-sun and I don't know if it'll be enough time for anyone to grab it at my roughly 30 kbps upload speed :/. They're only single-layer DVDs though so there's a chance.

My thoughts exactly. Seems a bit pointless, especially given that prospect.

WE GET SIGNAL

WHAT !!

One movie every 2-3 years? Try 2-3 movies produced EVERY YEAR.

^True, but it was a much bigger catalyst than some people here would like to admit. It sure as hell wasn't just states' rights in question.
