Clearly this isn't the direction I was hoping for because in the novella the Cenobite with pins is much more a twisted object of beauty.

The grid is a delicate tattoo the pins are bejeweled and the Cenobite is androgynous.

The thing in that picture looks more brutal and ugly than disturbingly elegant (he looks like a victim from any torture porn movie of the last five or six years).

Really a step in the wrong direction as far as I'm concerned.

 

I agree.

Star Wars

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

 

And I am not even kidding around. I'd be thrilled to see these three films remade, and ultimately, I think it would solve a lot of problems. The disconnect between the two trilogies could be disolved, by literally allowing them to be two series of films. I'd really like this. I'd love to hear George announce a sequel to Revenge of the Sith.

Then we could have an old Star Wars series and a new Star Wars series, and George can go ahead and tell us he really intended two different series of films since he first began working on The Phantom Menance. I can imagine him saying some thing like, "And I said to myself, this isn't going to work. You can have two trilogies, one from the eighties, and one from the 21st century and sell them as one complete saga. So that is when I decided I would remake the originals. I knew people were going to hate me for deciding to do this, so I never said anything about it until now..." and I would be just fine with this. Make life easier. The yungun's could have their flicks, and my beloved films could vanish into precious obscurity (the best place for anything sacred, really).

 

I agree,this is a great idea.

Thank you very much Ady,but was curious,where can 1 find the opening crawls to all films in HD but in English,would very much like to swap that part out.

Thanks again for the heads up.

Just use binsearch to search for "star wars 1080p hv"

 

 

Thanks again Ady for the prompt response,very kind of you.
but which version did you use specifically?
also I hate to keep bombarding you with questions but,what program let you edit the English crawl off the English version then edit it into the German rip? I did not think there was software yet that would allow us to do HD editing yet.

Thanks again for your guidance and wisdom.

what are they called and how big are they? I want to make sure I get the best quality versions for my edit. Also If someone could PM an alternate means of obtaining these I would be grateful but I'll find a way to use usenet if I have to.

Wideload said:

I am obtaining these from Usenet and am happy to help you Octorox....PM me if you want help.

They are typically 17-19GB each!

Incidentially, I cannot see the German Empire Strikes Back on Usenet...all the others, just no Empire.  Can anyone else confirm this?

Cheers,

 

you both have a PM ;)

 

 

Ady do you have any more info on where these are(German versions) I can't seem to find any of them,I would love to get these in my collection to.

Thanks

They are in alt.binaries.hdtv.repost but the posts are around 210 days old so you'll need a good usenet provider with a high retention to be able to get them. here's what to search for using binsearch:

c-sw1h264
c-sw2h264
c-sw3h264
c-sw4h264
c-sw5h264
c-sw6h264

Sluggo said:

A generic set of Blu-ray covers I am working on.  It isn't going to be specific to Ady's or Wookieegroomers sets or any others, so feel free to use them where ever once they are done.

The front artwork is adopted from Simon Z's site.  The backs of the covers will be completely redone. 

 

Very nice sluggo,do you have case art and disc labels for Ep 4-6 as well?

Good question M,I thought I read that doing the upconversion on your PC with a good filter combo will always produce better results than what the players can do,but I could be wrong,hell I thought I read that here somewhere,but maybe not.

either way it is a good question and I would like to know everyone's thoughts on that as well.

GOUT image stabilization - Released

Okay, I'm going to eat crow now.

GradFun2DBmod shows some significant improvement in banding. I'm having difficulty using it at the same time as my script, due to the fact that the new pre-release of removegrain doesn't include clense for some reason, which I rely upon heavily in my script. I will need to find a work around.

Expect a new version of the script sometime in the future.

-G

 

Just wanted to tell you,I will help you with this if you need,I still have ALL files still on my drives,so if you want some rendering tests or encode tests,or screenshots,just give me your updated script and give me the trim settings and we can look at whatever scene\scenes you need,and whatever new filters we need for this,I can add them to the pack I made for this a long time ago.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

I will look into that,if I PM you the script I am using for the upconvert do you have time to take a gander at it?

I can help, but I need to know if this is what you really want, or if my thinking is off.

-G

 

 

Sorry G,when I read this comment I thought that you might be interested in this,maybe I am just not understanding.

Because that is exactly what I want to do,I want to make a nice(or try to anyways) upconverted 1080p AVCHD.
