I love that. I refuse to watch any movies untill this edit s completed.

It may take a few months, as I have to wait for the Blu-Ray, figure out how to rip it from the disc, screw up, screw up again, give up, use the DVD, screw up again, give up, steal a videotape from a plane, draw on the tape with a green marker, get your address, and mail it to you. Thank you for your patience! ❤️

Haha. I would wait for that VHS!

OHHHHHHHHHH. It appears I missed a joke. It’s a pretty good one too, but would have been 100X more apparent if you had edited my post that way in your post. But perhaps that is just me.

#metoo

This joke may be in bad taste.

I agree. This conversation is seriously fizzling out.

And so soon after it began, like a can of RC.

It did fall flat.

Last Movie Not Seen
Time

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Complete disappointment.

I can’t believe how desperate they were in trying to be cool with this film. Iron man? Also i heard that they talk about porn a lot in this. Isn’t this supposed to be a kid’s movie? Also, i can’t keep straight each spider man looks different from the last one. Isn’t this like the 5th installment, and yet he is younger than ever? Benjamin button much?

Actually, with the new, slightly altered, mission statement of making v3.0 something like what a proper official BD release of the unaltered versions would look like, I was thinking about using soft subs, which would match the theatricals as close as possible in shape and size (can subtitles be rendered from images - I mean, if I cut the subs directly from one frame of a 35mm scan, could that be turned into a soft sub?) and have seamless branching for the crawls/credits of the foreign language versions.
Alternatively, seamless branching could be used for the subs as well and should be easy enough to do for Greedo but for Jabba, i would be a pain in the a.

I’m hoping to work directly with NJVC for the official release this time, so it would depend on what he thinks he could pull off.

I have quite a few idea’s that i would love to see happen if a blu-ray is part of the official release.

  • PIP (BD-J required?) to show despecialization while watching the main movie.
  • included script to swap which subtitles are included on the disc before burning.
  • included script to swap which audio tracks are included on the disc before burning.

in fact, i would love to see the iso stripped of the main .m2ts file and distributed as a much smaller download, then with a script that muxes the mkv into the iso. In theory we could have an iso that is OK to distribute publicly. and also a way to have a normal sized download that gives you the mkv for local playback on a computer or smart-tv, but also a bonus of having all the pieces you need to generate the ISO before burning (But no need to keep the full ISO around taking up HD space).

But all of this takes work obviously. I don’t know if anyone has software that can do the PIP part (requires two video streams in the transport stream i believe, and the second one can be SD). So obviously that is a pie-in the sky dream.

But the rest with the script and all that i would love to see, and would be willing to help with. Sorry if i took this off-topic.

You do realize the kind of support questions we get as things are now is already frightening… What sort of world of hurt are you trying to bring down upon us?

no hurt, it is very realistic to write scripts that can take two known inputs, and reliably create a known output.

The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **

An essay written by JGL on Luke Skywalker - worth reading. Even though we ultimately disagree, he clarifies some great points already presented in this thread several times, and he does acknowledge that those who didn’t like the movie aren’t entirely wrong on Luke’s characterization or the movie itself.

If already posted, forgive me.

Thanks for the share, just started reading it, and i can tell its a good article.

Cool. I’m sure that’s what George was thinking when he wrote ANH.

This was the best answer you could’ve possibly given.

I think a lot of the hyperspace complication has to do with justifying quick travel across distances of multiple light years. But for God sake, they call it light speed in the movies. I find the scientific inaccuracies charming. Star Wars isn’t PBS NOVA.
