I would also like links to "The White Buffalo".

"The White Buffalo" I remember gave me nightmares...but now I think I could watch it now and I wouldn't be scared...:)

Charles Bronson was a badass during the 70's.

I don't remember which death wish movie it was but I remember the scene where Bronson makes a blow gun out of a floor lamp....fucking awesome. They don't make movies like that anymore.

Sounds like ChristophMer, despite the sock method, may have had a legitimate grievance with Team Blu.  Didn't know that actually happened.

I personally hate power plays like this.  Whoever actually removed all their work from MS should be ashamed of themselves.

 Yeah, how dare they. Don't they know that they have to share? Bastards.

Still confused by what any of this means for us, but oh well, and still what is a BRD?

 Some people shorten BluRay Disc as "BRD" and not "BD".

I know lol, but it is not right, it is BD, not BR and not BRD LMAO! 

 Mr. Dark Jedi,

How come you deleted your account at MS? Frustrated with too many users demanding the projects?

 Give it a rest. Fuck.

There should be hundreds of members supporting Team Blu. This place doesn't know what a special privilege it is to have talented people like Team Blu putting out preservations that are in every way that matters, perfect.

I feel embarrassed on behalf of this place...my apologies Team Blu. For all the thankless hours Team Blu has spent on their work, thank you very much.

Sent PM to Dark_Jedi

The difference is subtle but my vote is for the technicolor version.

I like the colors, to me it looks very good.

I don't get it. Why do you guys want to watch Star Wars as an old faded film print?

Let the flames begin. They always do when I post my opinion on here...

Keep the old settings, much nicer.

Extended Edition rar files all perfect and extracted with ease.  Burned to BD25 with no issues.  Playback is perfect.  This makes the perfect supplement to the Team Blu theatrical edition.  Picture quality and colors are spot on and the restored audio mix sounded great even on my crappy plasma speakers.  Another stellar job from Team Blu but I would expect no less!  Grab this one guys!

The generosity of Team Blu is quite amazing. The attention to detail and the quality of Conan EE is so beautiful! And btw, I think this is my preferred version. The ending especially for me just makes so much more sense. It shows Conan changing from a barbaric killer to a thoughtful future King before our eyes.

Thank you Team Blu, thank you DJ for making the EE of Conan the Barbarian. Very Nice indeed!

OK. So I'm at home dealing with a bad back at the moment when out of the blue ( because I suck at checking my email,...sorry DJ) I get TNOTLD Blu Ray.

I watched it this morning and had a blast from the past! Isn't fun to watch movies that are miles more entertaining than the shit Hollywood has been putting out there lately?

DJ and the rest of team Blu you guys are pure professionals. From the artwork to the restoration everything has the look and quality of a big studio release.

Thank you DJ this is a fun movie. How cool would it of been to have been one of the zombies in this movie?

Whomever is responsible for the slip cover and the cover artwork has really done themselves proud.

Thank you for a better than retail release. Wonderful guys, thank you so much.

Most of these shots look way too over sharpened. I understand the Bluray looks like crap, but while adding sharpening makes it superficially look better sometimes, you can't create detail when there is none (and trying usually just ends up creating EE artifacts). The best results are achieved with just color correction like Harmy's.

Maybe you could preface your comments with "IMO", otherwise you come off sounding like a self appointed authority on the subject. Some of us like what we see in the project.

emanswfan, another talent here @ ot.com. Please feel the encouragement to do your stuff. We all love the OT.

1080p? Seriously? Did you upres the 720p picture of the BD to 1080p? Other than that, color me interested.

you're confused.

Shameless bump. This project is the pinnacle of OT.com. I can't wait.

R.I.P.

Kind of a rough history for that domain and it looks like they didn't pay their bill on time.

Maybe have the logo graphic be a play on the THX intro, with that awesome sound?

The sound creeps in, and as it crescendos, the "Project Blu )" logo above comes into focus, then the small text  below reading "originaltrilogy.com" and then the little shine that goes across it. 

Sounds good.

Thank you team blu. Conan is perfect. I don't have the technical skill to even know how you do what you do but it sure looks very nice on the screen.

Like I told DJ in an email, I didn't know what to watch first. The Ninja Trilogy with all its ninja goodness almost equals the badass Conan, riddle of steel goodness.

Its all good. It feels like the 80's all over again.

The bar has been set so high it makes me yearn to see the team blu OT trilogy.

Thank you DJ for being so generous with your out of pocket to make these releases so awesome!

Gogogadget said:

Yeah, there is a team called negative1 I think working on it, I haven't seen any caps it but the one Harmy just posted looks great

Except for the lack of any fine detail, yeah it looks amazing. What a shame.

Are donations being accepted for this or has that time come and gone?

Someone posted that stop motion wampa before, it doesn't look very good.

pittrek said:

Are the official Blurays the theatrical versions or the "special editions" ? Are the WoWoW broadcasts still necessary ?

I think there is a slight color grading difference between them, other than that, I think they are the same...maybe the BD was de-grained?

What is disappointing is that even starting from the DVD's and now the BD, Raiders still has out of focus moments that are distracting for me. You could barely see it on the DVD because of the low DVD resolution but on the BD it really shows up. Its on the WoWoW brodcasts as well BTW.

Checksum = 192127318

Atleast that's what hj-split says it is.

Thank you dvdmike. Nice quality rip.

Ah very good. These movies are special to me in particular because I've met and talked to Michael and his wife, Tracy. They are special people who aren't all spoiled by their fame and fortune.

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)
