Hey Harmy,
I noticed that this time around you haven't corrected all the purple flashes. Is your color grading only preliminary at this point? I recall being especially impressed by your work in restoring the reds with that the first time around.
Your PM box is full, so here's my private thank-you:
Harmy, you are the man! I can't guarantee my school's shittastic internet will let me get a hold of it but I'll give it a shot.
The newest Gaff review. Twenty minutes of DragonBall, and... wait a second you're a judge for WRTR now? Awesome! Also the dragonbox prices are going UP =(. Box 2 is like... $275.00. No joke. I never did grab them because I was holding out for a release that was this nice with the Faulconer score; plus, I'm not even sure if I like Z. I may grab boxes 6 and 7 though.
No love for the Bebop dub? YOU ARE SUCH A JAPANOPHILE (I say this with much love and jest)
I've always wondered if the scene could somehow just be trimmed to show Ula falling into the pit while dancing to the SE lead-in song that precedes Jedi Rocks. Granted, it's like ten seconds, but I really liked it.
Lapti Nek is the lesser of two evils but the film could do without a musical number period if you ask me.
Is it too late to get on board for the workprint? I think my school's net can handle it...
this week: CHRISTMAS CLASSICS! Please tune in =)
Gotta love having a mac... sigh. Guess I gotta reinstall bootcamp when I go home.
Let's just say I'm jealous.

The Deer Hunter (1978)
I watched this about a month ago and loved the hell out of it. Keep in mind, that another one of my favorite movies is Apocalypse Now - and both of these movies deal with Vietnam. However, what makes Deer Hunter unique is it deals a lot more with the difficulties of going back home after war.
The contrast between the serenity and peace provided by a routine shared with family and friends versus the harsh reality of war is explored through the three characters of Michael, Steven and Nick - and how each of them is damaged by the war. To explain how would be to give away the emotional impact the movie has.
Any criticisms? Well, it drags in the beginning. I understand the usefulness of showing how great their life was before the war, but a lot of the scenes - especially the wedding - tend to slow the pace. I'm curious to see how the official shorter cut fares, but I doubt we'll ever see it.
Not necessarily a plus or a minus, but I think the cinematography has aged a little more than that of Apocalypse Now. I would be able to identify it as being from the 1970's right away, whereas Apocalypse Now is shot in a way that leaves it looking modern still today. Your taste will vary, but for me that didn't hinder my enjoyment.
Starring Robert de Niro, Christopher Walken, John Savage and Meryl Streep (whom purportedly wrote a fair share of her dialogue at the behest of the director.)
Well played Bingo.
As for me, I expect a Wicked Witch of the West photoshop job on George by the end of the week.
I'd be interested in seeing if You_Too could work up a good color correction for the Swedish print's release. If I recall that was generally in better condition, outside of the copious red (which really is to be expected of anything its' age).
That awkward moment when bkev forgets that Yoda could lift an X-Wing in The Empire Strikes Back... anyway less about my idiocy, more about the greatness of this commercial.
No, seriously! In Japan. Finally, the ridiculous powers of the Force from the prequels put to good use. Yoda has now joined the hallowed ranks of such men as Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Hulk Hogan, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Los Angeles. Back for break and I really missed home.
Isn't this supposed to be an acting exercise?
It's all right. I typically prefer not to use torrents because my internet's not always on the most cooperative side anyway, so it might not be all your fault.
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get ahold of this torrent now that I'm home but it's awful slow. If anybody could hop on and seed I'd be eternally grateful!
Very few non-facebook websites are working. Thanks, school. It's not like I have to write a paper and make a powerpoint today or anything.
edit: I already told Zig (on skype) that I had no idea about the tattoo. Sorry...
Oh I wish I had the cash laying around to check that out! I'm sure that if he were willing Puggo could do some great things with it.
Speaking of, yesterday was that jerkwad Zig's birthday. Hope it went well for ya! ;)
Man, Sluggo really needs to accept that I'm not the baby of the forum anymore. That DuracellEnergizer guy was right, he def has to get with the times!
Blocked in the US for sure... thought you guys should know.
I think what I like the most about your settings is they don't remove the blue entirely from the Death Star walls; rather, they make it more subtle and tolerable. It's probably closer to how it was originally.
