team negative1 - star wars 1977 - 35mm theatrical version (Released)
Time

Well, according to what is available on the Spleen, the GOUT synced BD’s of SSE and ESB Grindhouse have all the English tracks you’d expect from the Despecialized edition (plus Portuguese as desired by the uploader), including the DTS-HD MA tracks. Maybe what we should instead be asking is: dear God, HOW did you author these BDs? Also, how many audio and subtitle tracks can this method handle, assuming it has a menu (which it should, if it has selectable crawls)?

I am looking at the correct files… right?

Frink, for the love of God, do not infringe on a Millennial’s Safe Space, you’ll violate their right of happiness. If they wish to self-identify as being the only strictly legal people/beings on the internet, it is not your place to tell them otherwise.

Everyone else, if you don’t like a Frink joke, don’t argue it and feed the fire.

Somewhere in between is probably where we ought to be… but I’ll just take Frink’s side…

If you give it a week or so, it’ll be available in the normal places, otherwise you have to suffer getting a 20GB file through MEGA (I experienced many failures and then shameful security concessions to see it through…).

Looks great, though. Even my wife said so (compared to previous editions, no less), and, while she loves Star Wars, she does not have nearly the constant passion and determination for it that I do… So it takes a lot these days for her to care to say anything.

Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness
Time

I guess you guys are way ahead of me, but I’m glad to see that is all already taken care of. Are you enjoying all of Hayden’s films, Frink?

Where the Heart Is, V for Vendetta, Your Highness and her few lines in Zoolander have to be some ripe sources for recognizable Natalie lines (and Thor, of course)… Have you used much from those in particular?

Edit: Okay, who the Hell’s bright idea was it to cast Hayden as Marco Polo?

Tommy Wiseau as the clone troopers is just fucking brilliant…

As is Wiseau as Jango Fett in AOTR. 😃

Indeed. I had not started AOTR until last night, which was after that post. I was quite relieved and excited to see that the inclusion in ROTR was in fact consistency, and I have a whole movie of Tommy Wiseau-isms ahead of me (having to watch in short spurts at the moment, which I suppose is fine, since that’s apparently how Frink makes these, so it must be the intended way to watch them).

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1
Time

In all fairness, I’ve read articles about the Despecialized Editions which were far worse than the WSJ stab at it. The guy definitely got too hung up on the term DVD (I mean, my honest response just the first sentence in, “um… no, I doubt there were many people celebrating the DVD release of TFA so much as they might the BD or shudder Digital releases”), going on to undersell what it means for something to be produced for “modern TVs and sound systems”, which really quite cheapens the point of Harmy’s work.

On an even brighter side, at least now we know that, according to Lucasfilm, the notion that the GOUT looks like crap is false, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

BTW, I didn’t realize before now that Adywan is disabled, also I don’t see what this article did to make mentioning that even relevant. “He’s disabled, so of course he likes to mess with Star Wars… just imagine what Lucas could accomplish if he was disabled.” If that’s not the point, then do tell me what it was.

Also, I bet Frink’s dining room table has looked like a swampland far longer than Adywan’s.

Now there are three of them and you catch on pretty quick.

This reminds me (and I’m sure you of all people would appreciate a good old fashioned derail), I finally looked into this Ridiculous Menace stuff you link in your signature, pretty funny stuff, Frink. Especially liked the reworking of the podrace to have Anakin racing on his own, and the music choice knocked that out of the park. Bravo.

As far as I can tell, the smaller AVCHD version is being made available to those who would like to see it, but the full mkv hasn’t been put out until a comparison gallery is done as well as some other things Harmy likes to include in releases, plus I think towne32 said he’d be on travel for a number of days. After all of that is out of the way, it sounds like we should see a proper release through the usual channels.
