Is there a consensus that there is "green" in the BR?

It's not so much needing a consensus as it is using Kubrick's own participation in the remastering process for this Criterion Collection laserdisc (see the OP). DVDBeaver's comparative look demonstrates that the color of the various releases are all over the map and something like a Kubrick-approved remaster is what's needed -- also reflected in PDB's comparative screenshots on page 4.

BTW, that was a good link but captainsolo beat you to it (also page 4).

.

I move that we require 2001: A Space Odyssey to be viewed by sitting in chair from Stanley Kubrick's 1960's futuristic film of the past (2001). So better start saving up (only £750.00) ..

"Authentic Oliver Mourgue Djinn Sofa Airborne International 2001 space odyssey"

The funny thing is ... this was contemporary furniture available at the time the movie was made and actually purchased for use in same. I hope that doesn't blow anyone's mind ...  :)

 Better that chair then the way Malcolm MacDowell's Alex's aversion therapy chair in "A Clockwork Orange"

Hi, I looked and could only find references to Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) 3D. Is that what you meant? Either way, Blood For Dracula 3D sounds awesome.

Andy Warhol"S Presentation of Paul Morrissey' s Blood For Dracula Was originally done in 3D. You needed polarized glasses for viewing it. It is a shame that it hasn't been released in 3D Blu Ray.  I would go out and get a new 3D Flatscreen just for that. 

 

 Well it was 40 years ago or so when I saw it at a theater, so yes it was Flesh for Frankenstein  in 3D.  But you know Warhol, all his stuff looks alike ;). They both were fun movies to watch at a Midnight Show.

I have the U.K. MGM DVD  Of "A fistful of Dynamite" AKA "Duck you Sucker" with the Mono soundtrack. I quote from the website dvdcompare "R2 United Kingdom- MGM Home Entertainment - No Cuts - Does not include the 3 minute flashback scene at the end." will this be of help?

Since TPB is dead where can one find this jewel?

It looks like you have 3 snatches, and one person currently downloading. There would probably be more if Blu-Torrents was still open sign-up.

I'll leave a comment once I get a chance to download it from my seedbox and watch it.

 4 seeders and 2 downloading.

I have them I will check them tonight

Everybody knows that Starz/Encore Showed the original miniseries in it entirety just last month, right? This would have scenes not in the theatrical version I would think.

Does anyone have the Laserdisc of Salem's Lot? and if so can you provide a bit perfect rip of the audio?

Thanks

 Speaking of Salem's Lot did anyone happen to catch Encore's two part broadcast of the original Salem's Lot? Was that the complete minisereies?  

As I had mentioned in my post in the ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: ABC cut’ thread, THIS TV is playing the Silence of The Lambs this month . It Played last night and I captured it on my DVR and checked it this morning for changes.

I believe it is the TV Edit as there is different dialog and the scene with Miggs is an alternate one as mentioned in IMDB " The scene where Miggs throws sperm at Clarice is shown from the different angle in the TV network version, so the audience can’t really see what Miggs is throwing.

For the TV network version, Miggs says to Clarice ‘I can smell your scent’ instead of ‘I can smell your c*nt’."

It will be Broadcast again a few more times this month if any one is interested.

Sorry A little late to the party. Where do I send donations? PM Please.

suntech, do you pick up This TV from a cable system, or terrestrial antenna? Just curious.

My friend's disc came in the mail. It does look a little compress-ey, possibly due to being HSP, but that could also be due to compression on the broadcast end (even with OTA, digital TV signals aren't raw uncompressed video, are they?)

The worse news is that my computer's drive will not detect the disc. My set-top player will, so it's thankfully not a coaster. But if I can't read it on my computer I can't rip it, meaning that I'd have to ship the original disc out to whoever's doing the project instead of just sending them VOB files. I'll see if I can update drivers/firmware and get it to work, otherwise I guess I would have to mail out the original disc itself.

 Magnavox MDR513H Hard drive DVR. I haven't transferred to disk yet.  Cable source, it is compressed a bit and I noticed an occasional little stutter (the best way I can describe it is like this. If the scene shows some one walking it looks like they are playing it frame by frame at a high speed almost to be undetectable as the scene goes one frame at a time.) I have seen this before on low budget stations like they have a computer that doesn't have a fast enough hard drive and a older cpu so the system can not keep up with the program. does that make sense? As I mentioned it looks like the DC to me I did not watch it all the way through but I FF to all the relevant scenes and I did not notice anything different. 

I had set this to record off of THIS TV on my DVR while I was away last week. I Got back late Tuesday and watched it last night. Is is the Directors cut that is available on the Collectors edition 2 disc DVD Set. Only I think it is 4x3 aspect ratio.  I was so hoping this was it. THIS TV is also showing Silence of the Lambs soon and I hope that is the TV Cut as that is a rare version. 

Has anyone had any luck finding a copy of the pre release press kit for WOK? I understand that that has some missing footage that if we could get a copy could be edited back in.

Was it ABC or CBS? I can never remember.

Thanx for the kudos ;o)

As far as how many versions of the film there is... well, there are three:

-Original Theatrical Cut (what was released on R2/R3/R4 DVD, Laserdisc, and VHS)
-Director's Expanded Cut (what was released on R1 DVD)
-Director's Definitive Cut (what was released on Bluray)

Ok I have all three. I am wondering if there was a Cable version, Because for "Manhunter" I had , The VHS Version, The Version I taped from Showtime and I have the Anchor Bay Limited Edition 2 disk set with the badly transferred Directors cut. I suspect that Showtime broadcast the "Hybrid Version of "Manhunter" As it wasn't the same as either the DC or the Theatrical Version. I suspect the LOTM has similar versions floating around out there.

Great Work on the Cover. 

Has any one figured out how many versions of this film are out there? I know of two different soundtracks with different artists. I know I saw two different versions of this movie before the Directors cut was released. I know of three versions of Michael Mann's take on "Red Dragon",  "Manhunter". Just Wondering.

I have an old MGM either Australian or UK(I do not Remember )A Fistfull Of Dynamite DVD with, I quote its cover, " Its Original Mono Soundtrack" will that help!

I have the 1993 Laserdisc and I am willing to share it but I do not think it has 5.1 AC3 Audio. It just states Stereo Extended Play digital sound. I have no way to "rip" the digital sound so I am willing to ship it to who ever  can.

Hey I hope I 'm not too late to the party but count me in for a donation toward the IB print purchase, just pm me the details on where to send the donation

If any one is interested Encore HD will show it tonight at 11:35 Eastern Daylight time.

Having just watched it , I must say great job! I only wish I had better equipment to view it on.

I have a early model Panasonic  BluRay player than can not read BD-R so I use my Sony PS3 which can read it but can not handle errors very well so every 3-5 minutes the picture freezes a while and then when it unfreezes it into the next scene so I lose some of the dialog.

I am using a just purchased Samsung SE-506 Burner and Verbatim discs and I have tried burning at different speeds but the problems are all ways at the same spots. So I went back and checked the source file,  loaded the movie from the file on my laptop and it played on my laptop. It plays OK but I noticed that every where I would have problems on the disc  the file had artifacts during those scenes it is just that my laptop could handle the errors better. 

Any Suggestions?

 

 

Problem solved! It was a bad DL. I DL it again to another HD and Burned it again and it is fine. Thanks all for the input.
