Jdownloader was only giving me 1 file at a time, downloading it at 50 kbs, then the rest erroring out saying the hoster was having problems.

I'm just going to trust that the workprint is ok and fight with uloz to get the final version.

A guy I went to college with was in that theater. He got 8 bullets, thankfully none hit anything vital. Had he not been standing, he would got them all in the chest. They're leaving the bullets in, but he'll be fine and should be able to go home today!

He and his wife had just moved to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago, and then were evacuated to Denver because of the fires. They didn't have any friends or support out there, but another friend of mine's mom is from there and had her church go to help them out, which they appreciate.

I think people can claim take downs in anyone's name.

BTW, I've got a preservation with the RiffTrax on the way, so hooray!

I was going to go to my local theater at midnight, but I was too exhausted.

I was happy for getting a ticket for our local theater's midnight showing.

Then I came back from lunch and our high school intern was on her way out to see it because her friend works for the theater.

*shakes fist*

The copy I've always watched on YouTube was taken down by Fox. I need a copy with the opening crawl and commercials so it syncs to my RiffTrax! Any help guys?

Not sure if foreign or bad spammer.

And I complain because the liner notes are on the inside of the cover of the Blu-ray and I have to take the last disc out to see what's on it.

I also complain because the second and third season don't remember where I left off so I can't start and stop episodes when I please. But that's not related to the topic.

Of all the optical disc packaging I've encountered in my travels, this was *the most*... execrable.

Packaging that actually provokes damage not only of itself but also of the discs it holds.

A comparison of the original saucer separation effect from "Encounter at Farpoint", the HD reuse in "Star Trek: Generations", and the CGI replacement used in TNGR.

I wonder if ILM lost the separation footage when they reused it for "Generations", so that's why they had to use Richter's model?

It's just another piece of evidence that the Special Edition project started as a 1:1 recomposition of the original elements, that somehow got expanded to a "fix some mistakes while creating new ones".

Here's another part where they kept an error because it existed in the original:

If I recall, the error is in the original as well, therefore should be preserved.

As someone who's hoping to show this to friends as the original cut, I'm not sure I can explain color timing issues that randomly show up.

It was one of none's additions, I hadn't checked it out myself. I trust Harmy is right in this case!

That's because I deleted it on Harmy's recommendation. ;-)

Sounds good!

Wow, that's awesome!

The interview on TrekMovie says that they're using a CG Enterprise for shots they don't find, and they're using Tobias Richter's model, better known as The Light Works. I've always been impressed with his models for years, he now does the effects for New Voyages/Phase II. I love when they don't start from scratch when there are perfectly good fan works out there. Interesting that they didn't use the model created by John Knoll for Generations (and used in DS9 as various Galaxy-class ships) OR the one Gabriel Köerner (another ascended fan) made for the last episode of Enterprise.

I remember seeing the TOS footage widescreen but only in some promo pictures. Was the widescreen render actually used ?

The interesting thing is that all the remastered special effect shots are widescreen

Nerd-fail, doubleofive! Even if it was big enough to fill that, you couldn't put it on as FAT32 has a limit of 4GB for individual files :-p

Here's the cue for a bigger nerd to point out a workaround to this and make me feel small ;-)

With this new four minute clip of awesomeness being about 90mb in size I'm wondering how large the MKV version of the final film is likely to be. I know it's been said that the blu ray will be 25gb but that'll include extra features too. Just thinking ahead about whether the MKV will fit onto a memory stick!

That shot of the torpedo spread is awesome.

Exactly the reason I'm glad the Blu-ray keeps both for me. But do we do the same with all 7 seasons of TNG?

I'm depending on you people to preserve the originals, I don't care for TNG enough to buy both! ;-)
