2 & 3 HDNet captures are now on Usenet and the bay by which buccaneers congregate (3 posted twice by mistake -- later torrent preferred but it's the same .ts).

Love the first comment.

I thought the HDnet versions were no good, low bit bate and some DNR I did get them off that place and posted here and I thought we all decided we wanted the wowow or canal +

The HDnet versions that were no good with low bit rate etc; were the highly compressed versions from rutracker.  drngr just uploaded the uncompressed source files he found to usenet and TPB.  I have both the compressed and uncompressed of Part II HDnet and the uncompressed looks WAY better than the compressed.

I just looked at Part II.  This is the best I've ever seen it look.  I don't know how this uncompressed HDnet capture compares to WOWOW or Canal+ but since it doesn't have logos or hard-coded subtitles I think it's the best one to have. Would be nice if part I of these captures wasn't lost.

Mavimao, that's pretty funny, I hadn't heard about those butchered renamings.

You'll find them on IMDb.com

Sky have the first two on now, I keep missing it to check if two is better

Please do check part two.  I really would like to finally have a good HD part 2.

Better thread:

My dad's all time favorite movie is Amadeus.  He thinks the Director's Cut is an abomination.

Anyone interested in a release?

Are you talking about a release with only Japanese audio?

vbangle said:

What about the other two movies in the trilogy? Are they screwed up as well?

Do we need dvdmike for those? ( Thank you dvdmike BTW, way out and above the call IMO for your time and efforts)

edit:  If you look at the last couple posts by drngr you'll see he's uploading 2 and 3.  I don't think dvdmike has the other ones anyway.

Mike: interpolated?

I can grab the source for II and III but I is long gone it seems. They are 18Mbps MPEG-2 from 2006.

Canal + or wowow? yes please 

Since he talked about a 18mbps bitrate, i suppose it's the WOWOW version.

I'd love to get these me too.

I'd rather not have WOWOW if it has burnt in Japanese subtitles throughout.

@ drngr

Check your PM's.

I love your signature:

The changes that George Lucas has made over the years to Star Wars is the equivalent of someone keying your car. On an intellectual level, you know that the car still works, and its only marred a fraction of a percent of the paintjob. On an emotional level, every time you see it, it's all you can focus on, and it makes you want to rip someone's face off.

I've had it for quite a while now and finally someone said something about it.

I am very happy to hear about this.  Are you guys planning on uploading it to MySpleen?  I've put off buying a BD burner for some time, but it looks like I'll have to get to it now :)

I continue to put off buying a BD burner because of the amazing x264.

Just curious, does anyone know if there's been an attempt to colour correct the awful green tint on the Fellowship of the Ring Extended BD?  I've been looking for something like this for a while now.

Thanks!  But that's way to complicated for me. :)

If anyone has a link where I can get a CC version of this, please by all means PM me...with much gratitude.

This version is up on usenet:

Harmy,

I know this is off topic but I wasn't sure you would check that other thread again.  Out of curiosity what do you like about the movie Titanic?  I can't stand practically anything up to the point it hits the iceberg.

What is rutracker? Is it a torrent site?

Yeah.

One of the best on the web.  Use Chrome to translate the Russian.

With Disney owning LFL would it be more possible to get a release of the Lost Cut?

 The same Disney that will never ever release The Thief and the Cobbler, and the same Disney that closed LucasArts and cancelled The Clone Wars?

 

 

 

 

.........maybe!

You forgot Song of the South.

Hey, I'm normally not one to be interested in the original cuts of Star Wars, being perfectly okay with the Blu-rays myself (Minus that awful new Krayyt call), but your despecialized opening crawl will be nice for my speech on the history of ILM. Just wanted to say thanks for giving me the chance to use a historical version of the opening crawl in HD.

You're welcome :-) Though I must say I don't understand how someone who's interested in the history of ILM can be happy with the BD version of Star Wars, which replaces like 90% of ILMs historically first ever work (academy award winning work, I might add) with CGI, which now has practically no historical value whatsoever.

Wow.  90%?  I didn't realize that it was that bad.

I love the first thirty minutes of Q2's Episode I; the extra dialogue cuts (no battle droid voices at all, less Jar-Jar, Anakin and Padme) and the removal of Sidious and the droids works in its favour.

I don't like how he changed the die-roll scene though, and prefer L8wrtr's edit from that point; a no-name pilot destroying the control ship doesn't work for me. I would have made a cut 'n' shut edit of the two, except the missing characters then show up out of nowhere.

I'm surprised at how much I like The Phantom Menace now, thanks to these guys. I try to avoid watching the other two, but I remember enjoying Stankpac's ROTS right after watching the DVD version and hating it.

You should try out Seciors' Episode I.  That one is a tie for me with Q2's as the best.  Stankpac's ROTS is still my favorite version of Episode 3.

I'm not sure. Somebody offered to up it there for me last time so perhaps it will happen again. 

Indeed, it's uploading right now to Usenet.

I thought I read that there are two editions of the JSC.  Are these from 1986?

Just came across this silly opinion article:

http://screencrush.com/jennifer-law...tm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_44045


now obviously a young han solo as a girl idea is completely bogus... but the author may be on to something... Jennifer Lawrence would make a damn good daughter for Han and Leia in episode 7.

I think two is actually my favorite Back to the Future movie, which isn't saying much. About a year ago I went back and watched the whole trilogy and was thoroughly disappointed. These were some of my favorite movies when I was younger, and after not watching them in so many years, they came off as really cheesy and over-the-top. But I still felt the second one was a ridiculously fun revisiting of the original, and I really enjoyed the cross over. Three on the other hand, I felt was just silly through and through.

Part one is and always will be the perfect movie.  It's my all time favorite movie and I watch it at least once a year.  Thoroughly disappointed?  The only part of the trilogy that's disappointing to me is the future setting (2015) in part two.
