OH and btw...if anyone is looking to design inserts/artwork for the Jaws discs that I'm doing now, that'd be great. I'd like to torrent them with the discs.

I'm almost done with the first one so please contact me if you're interested.

There were two LD editions of this documentary - German and Japanese. The first one is overdubbed in German language with no subtitles while the second one has Japanese subtitles and original audio. I decided to buy the German one, of course. The high quality video is what we need and any subtitles are decreasing its value. The question is: are you able to transfer the LD onto DVD and then add English audio from that pale VCD version I once sent to Jonno? If you do not own it yet, I can send it to you as well. This can be a challenge, you must change the speed a bit to plant the audio to the PAL video.

If it's a German LD, he'd need a PAL laserdisc player to play it, methinks.

Meeder, what happened to the NTSC version of the first Alien disc, hmmmmmmmm????????

So I relish watching HDTV stuff as that's the best I'm going to see for a while (disregarding DVDs that upscale well).

That's too bad. You could get an entry-level HD DVD player right now for $350 here. And then there's the add-on for the 360 that will be $200!!

Forget about Blu-ray.

I think that the Jaws The Revenge special was on WWOR (channel 9, is it?) or maybe it was WPIX (used to be channel 11).

I've been dying for both of them. I've actually never seen the making of 3. I had the making of The Revenge on VHS when it first came out but I'm sure I erased it shortly thereafter. I remember a lot of stuff about the tank that they filmed in. I think it might have been hosted by Lance Guest.

I’m putting together all of my Jaws documentary DVD’s and was wondering if anyone had any “rare” footage that I might be interested in?

Please let me know what you got. Thus far, I have 3 DVD’s planned.

I’m especially interested in anyone who might have a copy of “the making of Jaws 3: SHARKS DON’T DIE” or the making of Jaws The Revenge.

you do realize that unless they're authoring HD DVD's with this material, it's not going to be in HD, correct?

And if you did that, it would have to be split over 3-4 single layered DVD's.

Babyhum,

A request. When you do the other discs that I had given you the material for, can you please make sure you set it as an NTSC disc? The "When SW Ruled..." disc shows up as PAL and I'm going to have to convert all of yours now, including the one *I* gave you.

I'd appreciate it.

AFAIK, When SW ruled was an NTSC disc. I will check when i return home. I always keep the format of the disc the same as the source material. My FIRST release of When Star Wars Ruled... was a PAL source and was released as a PAL disc. Maybe you have that version.

I probably do. There were 2 versions? I don't get it. I think I even seeded that one.

Can i get the NTSC version, please?

I have a lot of those Harrison Ford interviews and whatknot from the Blade Runner press junkets in 82. The quality is kinda crappy but definitely watchable. Plus I know I have stuff from the re-release in the 90's from MTV and CNN and others.

TB, I'm thinking of re-working my "bonus disc" for the BR set that I retired. I would include all the additional footage that I had mentioned to you.

In other news, the Criterion edition of Dracula is up next. I've taken some time off from these boards for a while because I've been concentrating on HD stuff. I'll let you all know what happens.

And I'm still interested in doing Young Indy stuff as well.

I could probably whip something up with just the other stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't include the trailers on that 2nd disc. I might take another pass on it.

I've uncovered a bunch of news clips that I could definitely put on there.

Again...no. That would be pointless.

All you cheapskates need to go out and buy the newest version. No reason to download illegal versions any more.

Should we start with the ones that had not been released or shown in the USA?

Was thinking about uploading one film a week to a torrent site...

Again, I have all the 2hr movies in Good to excelent quality.

Well...i have all of them as well. I guess you could release yours and I, mine. Or we could team up. Up to you.

******* THIS IS A WARNING******

I will be retiring the Blade Runner set next month on the day the official new version comes out.

I will be retiring the Making of Superman 1-3 in November when the boxed set comes out.

Please get them now from the usual place if you're interested as I will be deleting the torrents at that time.

I have a copy of it but it's really not worth preserving. There is VERY little material here that's not in any of the other specials. I might just do a short 2-3 minute compilation of the stuff that isn't for a future release.

Seeing that Blade Runner in High Definition was done by at least two different members of this forum and there are multiple versions of Blade Runner in HD out there. I thought it might be of interest to someone.

The reason why BR was done was because the (then) current version was crap.

Alien 3 has a fantastic 2 disc set out right now.
