A miserable box art would be the least problem. I’m going to buy a box set twice anyway, one sealed, one to watch - and those discs would just be replaced from the official box to a custom made box.
I’d be more concerned about stuff like dnr, and pink lightsabers than that.
Makes me wonder what these idiots who magically happen to have “Worked in the industry” actually did. Were they the janitor employed at a UHF station in the eighties? They usually insist on saying something technically iffy like “a 35mm print wont have the dynamic range for a bluray”. Baloney! lots of older movies on bluray were restored from release prints, it’s fairly common with older films like Woman on the Run Nothing Sacred.
superman and mole men is released on blu already as extras on the Superman blu ray box set.
Hoping the new 4k transfers of the shorts are all fixed.
I see, I though it was slated to be released a few years ago, but when I went to try to find it all I could locate were dvds, not being much of a fan of the later versions I never looked into the box set.
Good, now we just need the George Reeves tv show and Superman and the Mole Men.
interesting, there’s a 480p transfer on the spleen claiming to be the 1973 version, is that from this print? Perhaps it could be used as the source to created a despecialized version of American Graffiti.
The Spleen can go suck a fuck.
35mm print would be best. 1080p or 4K scan. Would it ever happen? That’d be neat.The one on myspleen is a 35mm scan, it’s just 480p
That’s fucking hilariously stupid that it’s 480p, not 1080p or 4K.
Considering that the scan was made almost 40 years ago, I’m not sure what more you’d expect. Certainly don’t know why you feel so committed to shittalking it.
How do you know it’s a 40 year old scan?
There are some optical issues that simply would not happen on a remotely contemporary scan. It looks like a very old telecine with damage of its own rather than issues from an old film print (the print itself looks pretty good - all the visual issues aside from dirt and grain seem to be the fault of the scan being in poor condition). And the print is almost certainly pre-1978 because it has the same advertising tags that were on the original poster.
Could it have been transferred using sub-par homemade equipment?
not bad really, nice idea of it being more of a mystery movie than a standard action film, only problem is the lighting in the chase scene is such that you can really get a good look at the batmobile, which is only clearly visible in the bonus features.

I think he just meant that the empire new the right spots to hit the sandcrawler and immobilize it without blowing it into a million pieces, they wanted those plans remember?
Has anyone got anything resembling an update about what’s going on with the project, the site hasn’t been updated since February. I hope nothing’s wrong.
Did any of the George Reeves Superman get released in HD? I though at least superman and the molemen was, but looking for a bluray online turned up nothing so is my mind playing tricks on me?
Perhaps somebody will know more about this, but I remember seeing a prequel spoof done as an info-mercial for the mace windu lightsaber, even had a recording once and I thought it was on youtube but can’t find it now if it was. I remember it had the awful line “…it comes with a purple blade but it doesn’t mean your gay” and an accidental dismemberment in it. May have been spike tv, but I’m not sure. Any ideas what it was or where it might be found?
So this server problem, is it just the website that’s affected, or does it affect the project itself?
So they botched the bluray of this one?
the burning feet could be explained as maintenance, replacing the traction soles, but the rest of the scene had to have been a joke.
I just wish we could get a half decent release of the cheapo 50’s tv version, but the only one getting re-released is the 80s one.
I just finished a preliminary touch up on this, adjusted the crop and lighting scene by scene. Available on the spleen.
I really doubt it it’s even loyalty. I just think they don’t wanna do it plain and simple.
especially since they’re doing a remake of the Holiday Special with legos, I seriously doubt anyone at lucasfilm thinks George would approve.
There goes George’s Christmas spirit.
just watched the grindhouse. It certainly works on large screen better than the so called hdtv broadcast. It’s definitely darker in some scenes, which isn’t necessarily a problem as it enhances the errieness of the movie in places, although some scenes are more awkward. I’ll probably play around with it in kdenlive for some adjustment.
didn’t piota or someone have a a print and a topic on this?
this sure is ramping up, but Im now a little confused, are we still needing donations or is this project past that? I’d like to help out if its not too late.
interesting, I’ve never actually seen it, but I keep my eye out for all things shining time, slightly off topic but is schemer in it?
I have a gopher snake.
anyone know if sherlock hound is available in hd and english dubbed, only blurays I’ve seen are japanese only and very expensive.
From what I’ve gathered the english dubbing’s don’t sync with the HD sources found on japanese set.
That can be fixed in a fan preservation.
