I’ve just ordered a new video capture device which apparently bypasses HDCP, so I’m hoping to capture the iTunes extras through that
That’d be great. Hope it works and you make the extra song available.
I’m almost certain that there are a few episodes that are in 16:9 on vudu (Like 5? the vast majority are 4:3 though). Maybe you got unlucky and bought one of those. The episode previews showed 4:3 anyway.
Again, please somebody who lives in the US, buy these and preserve them. Thanks.
I bought all of the episodes on VUDU and I’ve been capturing them.
Unfortunately, there are two issues:
- The little progress bar from my player is in the image for the first second of the capture. This is unfortunately unavoidable.
Finally somebody is saving these! Thanks. The progress bar isn’t a massive issue.
Can the Vudu episodes be downloaded and kept (without re-encoding or capturing) on a hard-drive? Then at least they are preserved and working out how to extract them can be dealt with later.
- The intro is strangely in letterboxed 16:9.
The title sequence? It always was 16:9 letterboxed on the original 4:3 broadcasts and the VHS tapes. (oh, mentioned above already ^)

the guy played videogames, and if anyone blames them instead of guns i’m actually going to lose it.
I’d starting prepping for a “lose it” scenario ASAP.
Anderson Cooper uses a Star Wars reference (appropriately) to describe Trump’s people about 4-mins into this clip (enjoy):
The last one isn’t even Judy Garland on the front, it’s not anybody, just some clip art of a random woman FFS! (This is also the cover Amazon Prime have decided to go with for the movie).
It’s Janet Gaynor, the actress from the original A Star is Born (1937).
Oh yeah, well spotted.
Their Magnificent Ambersons cover is fantastic, and comes out in the same month as this one.
Oh my god! Finally Ambersons is getting an HD release (including the Laserdisc commentary). Thanks for the tip, definitely getting that one. David Byrne’s ‘True Stories’ in HD for the first time too (plus complete unreleased score). Shame it’s only the widescreen version and not the full-frame too but you can’t have everything. It’s gonna be a good Christmas!
Arguably that Criterion cover should be in the “flawlessly awesome cover art” thread and certainly not in the “terrible” thread. There are soooo many really and truly terrible covers out there like:

I’m not sure that Fandom list in the OP is reliable. I’m calling bullsh*t on this one:
The Wampa is shown in full form eating the carcass of the Tauntaun and approaching Luke, we see the battle between Luke and the Wampa with his arm getting cut off in full form as well.
I’d take any such online list with a pinch of salt, unless you’d confirmed it for yourself. For example the list of changes for the shorter cut of Heaven’s Gate on Wikipedia is wrong in almost every respect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven’s_Gate_(film)
^ What could look more exciting than a plane parked on the tarmac with a speed blur added? (Just checked and that image is from the theatrical poster LOL)

Probably what the regulation demands and it makes sense in the abstract but it is unnecessary.
What shouldn’t be classified as dairy is anything skim or fat free.
If a country can accept cars running on “gas”, they can accept almonds producing “milk” 😉.
The Republican Party will keep getting worse if it doesn’t turn around. Trump was a logical next step in the evolution (or devolution) of the Republican Party, but he isn’t the logical conclusion. He’s an obese 72-year-old. He’ll be dead soon. I worry about what the people that worshipped him will support next.
Don’t worry. They’re obese 72-year-olds. They’ll be dead soon.

For those outside the UK… new companion Bradley Walsh has been a longtime TV face on game shows, dramas and such. If he brings the kind personality he shows in these outtakes it’ll be a fun time in the Tardis:
Nothing sums up a title like “Solo” better than 7 characters all marching together… but seriously it looks fine. I don’t love it, I don’t hate it.
^ The badly inserted poster does at least help distract the eye from the incompetent handling of perspective throughout the painting itself (including the hundred-foot giant on the right hand side). I thought we mastered this stuff back in the Renaissance?
A powerful statement that sums up the horrorshow:
^ I think you were looking for the “DVD artwork that will be on display in a design museum in the near future thread”.
I do think they dumbed down the men rather than lifted up the women
I thought the issue was that they’d “lifted up the women” too much? (see all the idiotic mary-sue nonsense)
