Hannibalized is up again and I tried out another torrentsite since piratebay gave me an error2 message everytime I tried to upload the file. Take a look.

Sladinki007 direct link to Hannibalized

What Ii really like about it is the way I can present the uploads there. No limitations whatever. Even polls are possible. I will stay there a while and start uploading all CBB stuff.

1) If you've only seen this version, is it a genuinely good and inspiring movie?

I am so sory, but I watched Pearl Harbor before this one. I wish I hadn't.

2) If you've seen this and either of the official versions, how do they compare?

Yours is by far beter than the original. The most interesting thing is, even though I watched the original before, I was thrilled by the action and the pacing of your edit. And one more thing: ther is definetly no need for us to edit this movie, since you did a terriffic job (but what the hell do I do now with that stupid original DVD I bought).

3) Is this re-edit an improvement of a bad film, or a genuinely good film on its own?

Well, on IMDB I would rate it as 7, which means it is good now. I don't want to see it in comparison to the original but fo itself and I think it is very entertaining, a bit to much hero stuff and it looses pace towards the ending. Still a good movie and one I will definetly give to my friends to watch. it is the best fanedit I watched so far.

4) If you've seen both and you saw the re-edit first, how did it affect you emotionally when you saw the official version?

--

5) And vice-versa -- if you saw the official version first and THEN saw this re-edit, what did you think and how did you feel?

Just great. Because this is an example of what fanedits can be and why this nice branch of subculture is so valuable. You gave me something I don't want to miss. Also I feel relieved for having finally seen Pearl Harbor in a version that is not just bearable but entertaining.

6) What lessons can this give Hollywood?

To have other people decide what is actually good and what works. Sometimes people get so involved in their projects, they miss the storytelling, the action, the thrill, the entertainment. It is all there, but buried under rubbish and compromises between the parties all having a say. Less involved and but still gifted people could be of great help there. I am thinking of a new job, like movie-quality-manager. Directors and producers will hate these guys. Actors will try to kill these guys but the audience will benefit from them and soon there will be a new academy award for best quality management.

dvd lab pro highlight colour change:
1. activate the menu, where you wish to change the link colour (they all look the same, but every menu has properties of its own)
2. view -> menu properties (select the red to green button with the switch-to-arrow above, and then choose between 3 selections for buttons or change to which colour you like for normal, selceted or activated, also choose the amount of transparancy you wish).

Done.

For High Tension moe we used the German DVD along with the French one for the missing scenes. But you may use LGF, since it was the American production studio instead of Alexandre Films and Europa Corp..

As for thriller... I think this is a horror movie, because thriller always sounds like investigating meanwhile horror movies focus on causing fear. But thriller will be also fine. Some consider it a drama...

THE FAN EDIT CONTEST HAS A WINNER !!! REVIEWS IN OFF TOPIC FORUM

I was just reading through the intro again and it seems that there is only one entry for the second contest, since no one edited Kill Bill or Alexander or made another edition of Matrix 2 and 3. This would mean that CBB automatically wins this contestdue to missing other contestants. Of course we don't want that. May I make a suggestion: save the price for this contest for next time, when there will be more edits for the specialized contest and let DeZIONized participate just as a regular fanedit among all others.
If I am wrong here and there are other editions in the second contest, forget what I have written above ;-)
Cheers.

Resounding entire movie scenes is tough business. For a sequence of 30 seconds we used: explosions from BROKEN ARROW, screams from JAWS, coughing from CON AIR, a part of the original score, original voices from a very different scene.... five hours later 30 seconds sounded like they were alway meant that way...
If you have wondered THAT is what takes us so long this time... approximately 10 minutes of our edition have to be resounded from scratch.

Hi ADM,

I finally watched your Strength and Honour edit of Pearl Harbor.

Congratulations. You did very well and definetly made this a much better movie than it was before. This is exactly what fan edits should be, an improvement over the original, a new view, a pleasure to watch. i was very well entertained and could almost forget about my watching experience of Pearl Harbor, when it was in the cinemas. The story unfolds well and nothing is missing to badly, especially not the love story. Still the movie is not th ebest war movie ever shot, IMHO there is way to much about praising heroes, especialy when slow motion is added. Those scenes are hard to bear. A little language excursion here: the word pathetic and the German pathetisch (both with he same greek roots of pathos which in greek means emotion, feeling) are very different. The English one means pitiful, poor and the German one means way to much emotion. The German meaning is one of my still existin problems with Pearl Harbor, even in your edition... The Cuba Gooding Junior scenses as well as most Alec Baldwin scenes are kind of overweighted with hero emotion. Beside that this has become a great movie. As for the editing I hardly ever realized you edited anything at all, which is jsut great. Picture quality and sound are fantastic, ther is no flaw or break there (that I realized). Still some scenes seemed a bit strange: how did Ben Affleck get to Hawaii and how long did that take (because it all seems to happen within a day or two)? Why did Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett leave the newsshow in the theatre? And why do Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett look so strange at the nurse, when they are giving blood? And finally jsut a few more things I thought being worth improved: a nicer menu would have been great, especially no pink markings. The DVD cedits are too small. I was not able to read them clearly (which is not a matter of screen size but of sharpness). Subtitles would have been great (but I have already realized that no one likes to type them at all).

Anyway, keep up the great work, I really enjoyed this and I am hopeful to watching some more of your talent soon. Thank you.
