Star Wars Blu Ray Impressions
Time

IMO, the one overriding reason that the set can be "worth it" is for the 3 old-school documentaries on Disc 9.  The prices on the secondary market for legit versions of "The Making of Star Wars", "SP FX: The Empire Strikes Back", and especially for the Japan-only "Classic Creatures" LD together rival the cost of the BD set. 

Yes, I know that almost everyone on this site has at least on LD-to-DVD transferred version of each of the documentaries (Rowman's for me) but to have a proper release is nice in itself.


How are they encoded? AVC? How high is the bitrate?

Die Hard - Blu-ray Bonus Disc (* unfinished project *)
Time

So I’m putting together a bonus Blu-ray Disc of all the stuff that wasn’t included on the Die Hard Blu-ray’s.

Thus far, this is what I have:

Live Free or Die Hard (HD Unrated version)
Wrong guy, Wrong Place, Wrong Time Documentary
Continuing Adventures of John McClane Featurette
Live Free Life After Film School with Len Wiseman
Live Free Casting Session - DH4
Live Free MSN Roadblock Trailer
Live Free Teaser Trailer
Live Free International Trailer B
Live Free Bloopers
Live Free Deleted Scenes
Live Free Hacker Underworld
Live Free Homeland Security In A Cyber Age
Live Free Matt’s Pad With Justin Long
DH3 - Making of (different from DVD version)
DH3 - Side By Side Comparison - Water Gushing Through Tunnel (only one missing from Blu-ray)
DH3 - Interviews from R4 Australia DVD
DH3 - Summer in the City Music Video

Anyone have anything else to contribute? There’s not much room left on the Blu-ray after this. I’d LOVE to get the AMC Backstory on Die Hard but I never recorded it.

So is there a list of deleted scenes that still weren't included? I'm really surprised that the section of 21B removing the mask from Luke wasn't included.


There was on the thread I started, yes.


Where's that?

Anyway, yeah, it's a shame they didn't put more deleted stuff on the discs. Another disappointment, I suppose. Just look at the massive amount of goodies on Jambe's docs and think of how much they could've added... (I'm quite surprised the scene TMBTM mentioned—Han and Leia talking about 3PO missing, including the awesome line 'you should wear girls clothes all the time'—isn't included) A couple of dozen clips, many of which are merely interesting curiosities, sure aren't going to entice more people to buy the set, especially since we know exactly what's on them.


It's on this section a little lower not that far away, not sure why there was need for another thread for this but anyways.


Couldn't you just post a link? That would be easier.

After the EW ESB scene was released, I posted a color corrected version on YouTube:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvUyNoa22Jo"></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvUyNoa22Jo" target="_blank" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvUyNoa22Jo"></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvUyNoa22Jo" target="_blank" title="www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvUyNoa22Jo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvUyNoa22Jo</a>

It's been like two days but this thing already has 39,051 views... Someone even ripped my color corrected version off and it's on whatculture.com...


It's actually an interesting extension although one probably not good for the movie was a whole...


So sorry. I have to say, though, that 55 seconds is better than ANYTHING in the prequels.

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: George, what’s wrong?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: Guys… do you remember the trilogy? The “original trilogy?”</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: Just a little bit. It died when we were getting old.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: What do you remember?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: Just images, really… from the Internet, and old laserdiscs.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: Tell me.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: It was really beautiful. Flawed… but perfect, with those flaws. Why are you asking us all this?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: I have no memory of this “original trilogy.” I never knew it.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: George, tell us. What’s troubling you?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: The Blu Ray is here, now… a full box set.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: How do you know?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: I can feel the leaks hitting the Internet.... As long as I live, this will be the only trilogy anybody ever sees. Well, along with the prequels. You have to face it.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: Why?</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: This is my vision, the way it was meant to be.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans (horrified): Your vision!? </span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: There’s more. It won’t be easy for you to hear it, but you must. You need to forget there ever was an original trilogy. You’re the only hope that everyone forgets I ever made a movie with models and puppets.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: George, don’t talk that way. The original trilogy is a piece of history, and needs to be preserved for future generations!</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George: You’re wrong, guys. The original trilogy is gone. This is the REAL trilogy. In time, you’ll learn to accept it as I have. Greedo shot first. Jabba was always there… and Darth, well, he’s a screamer.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: (Staring Blankly)</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">George. Yes. It’s true, guys.</span>

<span style="line-height: 14px; ">Fans: (sad) We… we know… somehow, we’ve known since 1997.</span>

 

 


Brilliant. I'm stealing this.

OH, and I don't care that you are Gay, that doesn't affect me at all, I am not bothered by it, if it doesn't bother you, why should it me, so I do not know why you threw that out there.


Because it means I don't have a wife...and probably don't have kids? lol. don't read too much into it.

My GOD man, it is NOT about ignoring reality, but it is not something to chat about, I have never sat around with my SW buddies and started talking about GL passing away just so I may have a chance at the UOT, or talked about dying in general with my Friends period, I mean what the hell? I would rather talk about what movie to see next? what video game to play next? who are you dating now? how is your Wife and Kids? but never death talk.



Guess that's what makes the world go 'round, now innit? My friends and I talk about EVERYTHING. Nothing is off-limits. I'm not about having superficial relationships that only exist around movies and video games. Theres a bit more to life than that.
And, considering I'm gay, I have no wife or kids.

 


All I am trying to say is there are A LOT better things to talk about with your Friends, Family and Significant other, than death LOL, or discussing the death of someone so you could possibly benefit from, with a particular movie or CD.


I guess that's one of the shitty parts about getting older. When you're young, everything seems perfect and frozen in time. As you get older, you learn the truth about your favorite artists. Very rarely do they stay exactly as you remembered them, unfortunately.

I think I need to drink more or smoke more pot. Or both. lol :)
