seems most people who don’t know better just refer to all the special editions as “The 97 Special Edition” even if they are talking about 04 or 2011 versions.
just curious if anyone here saw any of them. Were they using film or digital? Was it actually the 97 versions, iv seen numerous websites that think the blurays are the 97 version as dumb as that sounds. how was the quality?
It costs more per disc but you could get a lightscribe drive,about $1.50 per disc and around 50 or 60 bucks for the drive, but they make cool looking discs. oh and it’s currently cd and dvd media only, no lightscribe blurays are available yet.
neither, I always wipe any new computer clean and put linux mint in its place. windows today stinks, and mac costs too much
here’s a few of mine I’d like to re-watch:
House on Haunted Hill(vincent price version)
The Brain that wouldn’t Die
The Terror
Dementia 13
Carnival of Souls(1962)
Vampire Bat
City of the Dead
Tales of the 3rd Dimension
Horror Express
I couldn’t find much info on this and I’ve got a bunch of old family photos i want to digitize so I thought Id ask here. What is the practical max resolution of an old school 35 film photo print? I know film varies from case to case but at want point would I just be getting wasting time? my scanner maxes out at 1200 dpi which if I did my math right is about 20 megapixels.
Okay we all have ideas on how to convince Disney to re-release the theatrical cut. So which methods have you wanted to try but were afraid too? OR have actually gone and done. please, remember this is for crazy ideas.
I imagine a t shirt with “Lucas Raped My Childhood…” on the front, and " And Disney legalized It" on the back would get the point across, but that might wind up getting me sued or something.
Any other insane ideas?
I think it’s high time to move beyond petitions, try picket lines with signs and T-shirts, outside theaters whenever the next movie hits.
here’s my system
if it was made in the last ten years, it probably sucks.
if it’s getting rave reviews and I’m seeing posters at walmart, it probably sucks.
if it was directed by jj abrams, I KNOW IT SUCKS.
if its a remake of something good, see number 3.
what are you converting them into? just pc files like mpeg4 or wmv? if that’s the case then boils down to different players supporting different formats. a pc obviously can play any file format with the right decoder. try a file converter or some dvd authoring software after ripping the disk.
wow, anything would help, almost surprised no one’s chewed you out for cutting crap out like I got for temple of doom, lol.
well I managed to get an original print of this silly short film from 1933. Its sort of hard to find in good quality so ill be looking into getting a decent hd transfer of it done. since this is in the public domain, i’ll be able to easily distribute it at archive.org or on disks to friends. one thing I’m still debating is if I should go full 1080 or 720, cost although not paramount is a factor in this as I have no way to do the actual transfer myself. Am I going to gain much of anything by going with the higher 1080 transfer?
oh and I forgot, we need to get some annoying political style bumper stickers.
let’s get a bunch of rude signs, boycott all new movies, and stand outside theaters picketing the new releases. Then wait for some reporter to go looking for a story. quiet petitions and whining online are a waste of time.
yes, i know downloads are second rate quality compared to disks, but what download sites have you used? Im not talking about streaming sites and on demand stuff where once you cancel a subscription you cant watch your movies, but actyual downloads where you get a video file on a pc hard drive. currently the only site i use is archive.org, which is free. Any suggestions for other pay and/or free sites. Im only interested in legal sites.
what list of lame titles t rip off consumers with. another year of nothing good.
i did the 93 vhs release, still have the mpeg2 files somewhere.
- 1943: Batman, 15-chapter serial starring Lewis Wilson as Batman and Douglas Croft as Robin
- 1949: Batman and Robin, 15-chapter serial starring Robert Lowery as Batman and Johnny Duncan as Robin
nothing after 1949 is REALLY Batman. You had Adam West in the 60’s…and then a slew of shit-covered, muppet-fart campy movies…then the ‘dark knight’ trilogy…(which I enjoyed a lot but doesn’t compare to the serials of the 40’s)
Finnius has spoken. All who deign to oppose my view shall spend eternity sucking wet farts out of dead pigeons.
Why is nobody acknowledging this list? For the life of me, I never expected to see this.
Especially since neither of those things are films.
they were shown in theaters, so they are.
nice to know they aren’t going after despecialized downloaders as long as is its not for money.
superman as a character went downhill for me right after george reeves died, not much good after that, save for a few cartoons.
has anyone else wondered what batman smells like after he takes off that rubber diving suit? I mean how in hell doesnt he get heat-stoke smacking crooks around in that thing? Has it got a built in air conditioner? I’d prefer cotton and normal fabrics personally, like they had up till the 80’s versions.
given how they just rescanned lucas’ “recut” negative, it was probably just the cheapo option, I highly doubt they’re projecting from film, who knows, maybe it’ll get leaked and we can make a 4k despecialized edition, lol.
so the original are coming to the alamo drafthouse theater in august, but unfortunately not the theatrical versions, but not the 2011 edition either. Apparently its the original special edition. Seems to me like an odd choice, 97 special edition? why? Okay, its been awhile but is it really that hard to get the version everyone wants, or is disney just pandering to lucas for some reason? what are your thoughts?
aside from hand drawn pictures with sharpies, what methods have you used? Lightscribe looks cool, but at around $2 for a dvd and no bluray option it doesnt make much sense. print on disc capable printers are apparently out there, but not as a cheap standalone option as far as I can find. Stick on labels are a problem waiting to happen, peeling and throwing off disc balance. I have considered rubber stamping, but haven’t tried it yet, will update when I do.
raiders of the lost arc
last crusade
temple of doom
I’ve yet to put the disk for crystal skull in to watch it, probably never will.
