...I can't resist. That website was our last hope. "No. There is Another."

Idea: 35mm Transfer - make a preservation project from it?
Time

Looks like the preview is no longer available.

I wanted to contribute an idea. While it may be nearly impossible to find original 35mm prints of sufficient quality, perhaps someone could obtain '97 SE prints, as these appear for sale much more often on places such as this other forum:

http://www.35mmforum.com/

These obviously wouldn't be as useful as the originals, but a '97 SE copy in HD would be much easier to (Forgive me, I'm lacking a better word...) despecialize than the 2004 HD broadcast. Not to mention, there could hypothetically be potential to telecine at a higher resolution that 2k.

Quote: Just curious, how much is this worth?

I recently got an original Star Wars theatrical program from 1977. It is in beautiful condition. Does anyone know what this is worth? I’m just wondering; it’s not for sale. Here are pics:

Possible Non-SE screening of ROTJ in Modesto,CA?
Time

For those who are wondering, it was the '97 SE. Before the showing, the manager said that the provider of the 35mm print had connections with Lucasfilm, so I wasn't terribly shocked. Still, it was in higher quality than I'd ever seen ROTJ,  and I enjoyed it very much. There were light scratches near the beginning, and a very slightly shaky picture around the same time, but it improved greatly later on in the film. (There were no enslaved Leia costumes in their contest... :( Oh well.) It was overall a superb experience.

The Evil Dead - From Cabins to Castles edition (* unfinished project *)
Time

As a big fan of all 3 Evil Dead films, I am excited about your project. I have a few ideas, and some questions:

1. This would probably take a lot of work, but you might want to rotoscope or somehow add blood into the Army of Darkness segment. If it were done right, this could help with continuity and make it somewhat more enjoyable for those who prefer the first two movies.

2. I am unclear about whether or not you're using an HD scan of the first Evil Dead. After all, a review on a Blu-Ray site says that the first one is actually a better transfer than #2.

3. Please, oh please use the S-Mart ending! I like it much more than the other one. (Maybe you could include the other one as a special feature, though..)

4. I'm also using a Mac. (EDIT: Not anymore, but I can still work with QuickTime encoding sometimes.) Disk Utility can make iso files. I don't remember exactly how, but Google probable does. :-)

Thanks for reading my first post, and good luck with this cool project.
