Song Of The South - many projects, much info & discussion thread (Released)
Time
Knightmessenger, if you're talking about the silver disc labels on all Paramount titles (as of late 2007?), I'd assume it's them not giving a shit about DVD any more. Perhaps it's so they can again start listing "picture labeled disc" as a "special feature" on their eventual blu-ray releases. :P

Seriously though, it's happened here in Australia too. I thought Transformers was a one-off, then I bought Stardust and it was the same. Crappy Paramount.

Info: DBGT - the Blue Water Dub
Time
Just to voice my opinion here. I understand that many people don't like Dragon Ball (in any/all its incarnations). I'm a fan. I like a lot of anime but oddly enough, DBGT is one of the earliest I got into when I first started watching fansubs. I will always have a strange connection with it - I love it for nostalgic reasons and hate it at the same time (for plot and design mostly).

In any case, a while after watching all 64 episodes and the TV special via fansubs, I started to watch it in English. I had seen Funimation's dub of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z by this point and knew that what I was watching was produced by another studio - but I didn't care. I could see my beloved GT in English.

So, to bring this rambling to the point: I was watching downloaded Real Media (possibly RMVB) files of around 40-60MB each. They were the AB Groupe produced dub that aired in the UK and Canada, featuring the Ocean Group Studio's "Blue Water" voice cast.

Unfortunately I have since lost these episodes in many transitions from CD-R to DVD-R to external hard drives for storage of media. I've been trying to locate them recently through various Dragon Ball message boards to no avail. However, at least you know they're out there somewhere. I know the site I originally downloaded them from but they've since been replaced with the Funimation dub eps.

My dream DVD set would feature the remastered (read: actually remastered, none of Funimation's faux-remastered crap) video from the DragonBox singles (I am buying the GT singles as they are released. They look great. On top of having the best video I'd want to have the audio options as Japanese, Blue Water dub and the Funimation dub. If Funimation end up doing remastered "bricks" for GT then I'd include their likely "English dub with Japanese music" option as well.

I'll finish up this overly long post by reiterating: I'd love to see these preserved. If we can find copies of the episodes that'd be great. I doubt we'd be allowed to put the HQ video with them. Too close to an official release I'd think - it would be classed as a custom DVD I suppose, thus not allowed to share here. Perhaps just a torrent of all 64 eps in whatever format they're found in would be enough.

*** The Official DigitalFreakNYC Release Thread*** (SW, Indy + Others!)

I wish your discs were more readily available, DF. I want them all. I understand a few have stopped being spread due to official releases superceding them.

Is there a tracker with well-seeded torrents of any of your releases? Rapidshare even (would be worth signing up for another 3 months to get these).

Needless to say I'd appreciate the Evita one (and any future Indy and ET ones you may do).

Mega Madness: The Ultimate Gremlins Companion (* unfinished project *)
Time
I'm sure you are already aware of this site, however I wanted to suggest that a "references" compilation could be cool. All the bits from Simpsons, Family Guy, etc that feature Gremlins.

Also, I loved the Gremlins ride and it was so disheartening when I went one year and it had been closed to make way for a new piece of crap ride. I however, am referring to the Australian Movie World version. Which was similar but had some differences to the German one. Perhaps you could try and track down video of this one to show the difference? I know Alf wasn't there, people on the net say it was Beetlejuice but it was so long ago I can't be sure. There's some minor info here.

Another kind of preservation: LucasArts Posters
Time
Fair enough about staying with the LucasArts games. I'm looking forward to the Full Throttle one. However, my favorite so far is the Star Wars style DOTT poster which I'd never seen before.

On the Neverhood movie; Frederator (involved with Robot Chicken somehow) have started a films division and Neverhood is its first project. Doug TenNapel's going to direct (and maybe write as well - can't remember). Still, if you've only played the demo you should track down a copy of the game as its brilliant.

Laserschwert, I always love your work for the old LucasArts games (reminds me... that higher quality music pack for KOTOR I / II whichever one it was... need to get that link from you again). Anyway, great work here. I've nabbed em all and I'm sure some/all of them will be printed out and hung up. If only I knew where to get copyrighted material printed on nice huge card here in Australia.

By the way, would you consider doing this for The Neverhood? I know it ain't LucasArts but Dreamworks Interactive was pretty cool once upon a time. Plus, I'd be able to use it for my custom Neverhood DVD - which I've gotten back into now that they've announced a feature film is going to be made!

Help: looking for... One Hour Photo - Workprint
Time
reave, unfortunately I don't know what the alternate opening/ending are, however I have heard that most people said it was slightly better than the theatrical cut in this format. Since I really liked the theatrical cut, I thought I'd check it out.

ReverendBeastly, that DVD would be great (might make a composite myself after getting it). Give me an email (myOTforumusername@gmail.com) with your trade list if you have one and we'll work something out.

Help: looking for... One Hour Photo - Workprint
Time

I’m not asking for direct links or anything, but I’d like to know if the workprint for One Hour Photo is still floating around and in what format. I found some info on a 2-VCD release, was there ever a DVD-R or a composite edit? I don’t normally do this, but I just bought this film recently (after seeing it several months ago). I was surprised to find out that there was a workprint that leaked which had temp score, an alternate opening/ending and additional monologuing.

I’d greatly appreciate any info so I may track this one down (I doubt it’s on torrents or rapidshare…) My email, for no particular reason at all; my username at gmail dot com.

Star Wars Prequels/Original Trilogy: The Complete Scores (Released)
Time
I don't mean to complain of course, I'm grateful that you've spent your time uploading these to share. More manageable chunks would be great (ie. Disc 1 - Part 1, Part 2, etc). If Rapidshare came across the material I'm sure they'd take it down (as they've done to countless many of my favorite score blogs). So, perhaps smaller chunks on your FTP would be best?

I just want to give the set a listen.

GoodMusician, would you have any problem with me making this request: can anyone who has downloaded these files upload them to rapidshare in parts or something? I've tried getting the files 3 times now. It's just chewing through my download too much. Last night it downloaded 96% of Disc 1 and then carked it. I'm just straight downloading - no outside download managing program or anything. I guess 350-400MB for a single file is just too big a download for my crappy connection.
