Arrested Development is ruining my life. I have finals right now but I can't stop watching.

How it took me this long to watch it I have no idea.

AD is more important than finals.

Soylent isn't a mixture of OTC vitamin mixtures. It's a custom blend. Ars Technica did a series on it:

That was the beta version, v1.0 actually addresses the chalky and such. I think it's an interesting concept.

Peter Jackson on the two-film edit:

The split was going to occur where Bard [Luke Evans] appears on the river bank as a silhouetted figure with a bow. So the whole barrel sequence was going to be the climax.

Just in case someone wants to re-create the alternate universe two-movie edit.

The Lowry master isn't 2K, just 1080p

Right, the 97 SE was scanned at 2k to do the CG work.

Yes, the 97 SE could theoretically be higher quality than the 2011 SE.

Slightly longer answer: Easier to work with, smaller file size, no real visible difference, having to pull from SD sources makes 720p a good middle ground.

Look into it. You might've been beaten to the punch.

Which is why I asked the question on sources and background. If this guy worked for ILM and has copies of the original negatives, then we'd have thought twice about dismissing him.

Random rant: I like Ben Whishaw, a great actor but what the actual f*ck...

Ben Whishaw to play Freddie Mercury

Were there no Asian actors available?? like (To pick a few obvious guys with the acting chops)...

At first I had no idea what you were talking about, then I looked it up. I had no idea Freddie Mercury was Parsi.

I never claimed to be an expert on Queen, but that came as a complete surprise to me.

So what's your editing background? What are you going to use as the sources for the restoration of the original effects? Are you going to color grade the main film to better match how it originally looked?

Off Topic: When did the bolding usernames start, doubleofive? It's one of my favorite quirks of the board, but I'm always slightly concerned that it's actually very common on other sites and I just never knew.

It's only because they're bold on the subject line on this particular forum.

Er, what?

We bold because they are bold here already, no? It's not a universal forum sign of "screenname" is it?

I thought 1080p was good :P...shows you how much I know.

It's good for home video, but not for historical preservations of films. See the 5k cameras things are digitally shot on now. I can shoot in the same quality as the prequels on my cell phone. ;-)

I only wish Sam Jackson's swearing had been punched in from another film rather than implied. Any opportunity for him to look at Yoda and say "English, motherfucker! do you speak it?" is welcome to me.

TV's likes to keep things relatively family-friendly. He's got kids and stuff.

I'm not sure of what you are getting at with Obi-Wan speaking of himself in the third person. It's funny, but I don't actually get it.

Exactly.

I'm sure that was cost prohibitive for an in-house effects studio. It was never supposed to be a grand restoration, it was supposed to be something to get TV stations to want to air 40 year old reruns.

In other words, they're cheap.

That's one way of putting it. ;-)
