"Scrubs" coming to Comedy Central in Widescreen and HD
Time

I also saw a post/comment thread on Zach Braff’s facebook page… He confirmed that not only will it be airing for this marathon, but it will also become a regular part of Comedy Central’s weekday afternoon lineup.

You should also check out this tweet, then.

It’s definitely not happening. He would know.

Thanks for all the effort you and others put into this, SilverWook.

Quite the embarrassment.

Why are you always such a dick? I’m tempted to switch the forum back to the original October 2015 layout just so you’ll rage-quit the site again.

Yay name calling. No wonder you like it. It proves what a bunch of whiney children are on this site.

You can bitch and moan about it being taken down but there’s no reason to keep it up. We look like assholes because of it and one person shouldn’t have been allowed to speak for the whole site without getting some sort of approval.

That was just one big pissy unreadable wall of text.

Star Wars Insider celebrates the 40th anniversary with...

All these years they never acknowledge that the special edition of JEDI was kind of a dud, at least compared to Star Wars. It doesn’t fit with the whole “special edition-phenomenon-was like 1977 all over again!” narrative that has been the party line.

It mentions how Empire and Jedi were really an afterthought and the plan was really only for Star Wars. I should probably just post scans. no?

The special editions also required gross professional incompetence on behalf of the new editor. I mean George.

It’s odd because, in the beginning, they seemed to have the best of intentions to just cleaning it up, according to the article. And then…it just became Frankenstein.

Cobra Kai said:

So… Is there anything in the issue that actually celebrates the 40th anniversary? Or is it all about the special edition?

Believe it or not, there’s not a single thing in there about the originals…or dedicated to the original release. 😦

4K restoration on Star Wars

I’ve been to a horror con a few times in recent years, and it’s a mix of legit titles, region free discs of unknown origin, (at least to me) and then bootlegs of films that have never seen a legit release, and workprints. All really depends on the seller.

The bi monthly comic con I used to attend up in L.A. back in the 90’s was the Mos Eisley of bootlegs though. Got my first copy of the Holiday Special there. A smaller local con I attended in 2002 had at least one seller brazen enough to be offering an AOTC VHS bootleg that was probably shot off a theater screen.

But that’s what I’m saying: it’s not “brazen” in the least. It’s commonplace and expected. That’s the way it’s always been.

Are you kidding? All people sell at booths like those are bootlegs. Why do you think this should be the line drawn in the sand? That’s the way it’s always been and that’s the way it always will be. Either you’re a noob to conventions or never bothered to check out those types of booths. None of it is official, even if it’s been officially released.

The Godfather Saga - HD Restoration (Released)

Thanks, that also worked for me.

Just don’t forget to visit settings and untick “Enable Product Search” to turn off their Adware. 😉

JEDIT: I celebrated prematurely - I made three download attempts and on every occasion, the 1280 x 720 video was unplayable, despite trying five different programs. On subsequent attempts, it is impossible to download any version of the video using the plug-in.

It worked perfectly for me 😃

I’d report this guy too. He’s made thousands off these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-DESPECIALIZED-UNALTERED-ORIGINAL-TRILOGY-THEATRICAL-WIDESCREEN-HD/142344671770

So frustrating. Have reported on both accounts. Anyone who can, please do the same.

EBay doesn’t care. Remember, they’re making a profit off of these sales as well. Until the original rights holder gets involved, nothing will change
