Unfortunately, to get a copy of them would be ridiculously expensive. 😦

That is ashame. I had these images in my head of you guys getting to sit down to a pristine screening of the HS. Guess I didn't miss out on too much. Kind of cool though, I imagine because of this many HS virgins have now taken a step into a larger world... and learned what an awful world it is.

Yeah...i had high hopes as well.  What can you do? 

Sat through it with a friend today.  People came in and out but no one else stayed for the whole thing besides us. 

It was definitely from VHS because I saw the white line running across the bottom of the screen, going from left to right horizonatally throughout.  It was in pretty bad shape and definitely not what you'd expect from the museum at all.  It was MUCH worse than what we have on bootleg, with smearing all over the place. 

For those interested, it was recorded from a Los Angeles TV station.

If you want any more info, I'd be glad to answer.

I'm going tomorrow.

This is showing in LA as well...if you're on the other side of the country.

I'll be going this week.  I don't work during the day...so i'll be going whenever I can.

I have these on VHS:

The Godfather - The Epic : 1901-1959 (3 tapes)

The Godfather Trilogy : 1901-1980 (4 tapes)

I bought them from eBay sometime ago, I've watched them and I highly recommend them. There's footage on them that hasn't been made available on any of the DVD releases.

That's not true. All of the deleted scenes have been made available.

The new boxed set is a complete and total mess.  Yes, we got a ton of new music...but overall, a mess.

I got it and made my own 2 disc sets from it.  Now I'll probably never listen to it again.

why does this mean they have a master?

 

can't they just pull out an old copy of it?

 You clearly don't know anything about the Paley Center or what it stands for.

Wow.  It's at 89% right now. 

It was just posted to the force.net.  I'm sure people are going to vote now.

To be honest, I never knew they updated the DVD website. 

Did you try the forum on theforce.net?

Paley Center would never get a C&D from Lucasfilm.  If they have a copy of it, it's probably because they own it from CBS.  They're extremely well-respected.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this.

Just please please PLEASE release it in lossless and not an mp3.

You have a chance to vote for the Star Wars Holiday Special to have a screening at the Paley Center here in NYC!!  That means they have a master!

You have to vote to get the screening though!

Any idea what film print was sacrificed so that Star Wars might live? ;)

Hopefully Star Trek...

Hey! A lot of us are card carrying Trek fans in here. ;)

William Shatner is the man, but George Takei killed it for me, especially seeing him nowadays. :D 

 Why?

Presumably, Takei strikes at LordVader's own insecurities.

 Yup.  That's what I figured.  *sigh*

Do we have any idea which film is next...and when it will be "released?"

I wonder what a snowspeeder was doing at MGM? Wouldn't 20th Century FOX make sense? In case ADYWAN missed my question......what do you think about trying to fix that 60's-70's Star Trek view screen in Vader's chamber place?

 

As far as I remember, that (along with the AT-AT, skiff and Ewok Village) was not screen used.  Just props to display infront of the ride.  Though I think they did have the real holo table somewhere else in the park.

 Incorrect.  There was a speeder on the backlot tour...along with some other props.  I have a different picture of it from the 1990's. I have to find it somewhere.

digitalfreaknyc said:I'm done with the Tootsie preservation. Haven't upped it yet, though.

need artwork?

 

 Nope!  It's completely done.  I just haven't "upped" it yet. :)

I've just tried burning this twice to play thru VLC and both discs appear empty?   What am I doing wrong?!?

 AFAIK, it will only show up in a PS3, no?

mrwhitethc said:

No problem digitalfreaknyc, I hope to get the footage digitized by next weekend, Oct 4/5th, and I'll shoot you a PM when I'm done.

 Sweet.  Please try and use the highest bitrate possible.  :)

DEFINITELY!  I think I have another Jaws disc in the works.  If you want to shoot it over to me, I can include them!

Some good news (for the PT fans). I got my laserdisc of TPM yesterday so i can begin work on the theatrical version of this in the week. I haven't had chance to listen to the 5.1 track yet but i'll begin ripping it tomorrow and then begin the long editing process shortly after. This will probably be the next release.

any indy fans here? i can up my 1080p avchd raiders too if required

 

 Just PM you.  What's your source?
