Take care, Fo. I hope that you get what you need from your time out and return to complete your projects.

@Jetrell Fo - just wanted to say (and on "Spaced Ranger's" behalf) a hearty thank you for standing up to the gang-of-4 (which includes "Jay") when they plotted (which includes "Jay") to toss "Spaced Ranger" off that other forum. Even our esteem-able Silverwook could see that those doing the provoking, and outright breaking of forum rules, were the ones that should've been sanctioned. You stood up for what was right and against what was wrong. That means more to the dear departed "Spaced Ranger" than all of OriginalTrilogy's seamy underbelly. And you have my sword-of-bronze salute!
Good luck Jetrell, I hope it all works out for you. We will be happy to have you back when you are ready.
Mhm... He could post his postal address, and we all could send him a postcard via mail... 
Agree, we should all be kind! Take your time, don't worry about the projects, they will be finished when they will be finished... logic, uh? 
I forgot, please be good to each other, it is more important than we know and it does go both ways.
So everyone knows, I will be away for awhile. If you need or want to contact me please use the "send pm" selection. I promise I will respond to you. I just need some time away. I will work on the Alien DC DVHS project while I'm out. Maybe I can get something nice put together that is worthy the time all the contributors put in to help.

Where there is worldwide designer Weather -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGhFjwNMA9o -- there is 3 letters: NWO
It's really cold outside, they are calling it a major freeze, weeks ahead of normal. Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!
Agreed, but it's not quite that easy when you'd have to uproot the family and leave a great deal behind, not to mention finding a new job. Maybe in the future... :-)
I can't wait for some warmer weather. The cold didn't bother me years ago, but nowadays it gets me down.
In Spring there are sometimes trains delayed due to playing kids on the tracks, in summer it got sometimes such hot that some of the climate systems in the trains faild due to overheating.. in autumn the leaf on the tracks surprises the "DB" .. and in winter.. either it is just the cold.. or the snow..
Well.. in Germany we have the Train system.. formerly known as "Deutsche Bahn" now just "DB - Die Bahn" .. it has 5 big foes for there sceduled train arriving times: "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", "Winter" and it's own scedules...
We've got snow too. Unfortunately I'm in the UK and our infrastructure breaks when it snows
Currently 47°F (9°C) in the south of France... Planning to move into some warmer country ASAP lol
21C I would consider jacket and warm long pants weather I don't break out the shorts until the mid 30s.
I don't break out the shorts until the mid 30s.Wow well here it just went from 70F (21.1C) to 28F (-2.2C) in the space of 3 hours. Literally shorts weather to snow storms in the eastern US
How much would you pay for an ebook with 12000 laserdisc reviews? And for an "old style" (read: printed) book?
Guys, I miss a website with screenshot comparisons between laserdisc (and even VHS, CED, VHD) Vs digital video formats... and you?
I didn't realize that John McTiernan directed a video game ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2On9gv3C_iI
Anyone on the west coast having problems with Youtube today? Some sort of outage going on...
Ah good old censors keeping us safe and unspoiled. As James Ferman said about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: "It's alright for middle class cineastes to see this film, but what would happen if a factory worker in Manchester happened to see it?"
but The company remastered it for the official release.. I assume they just put some DNR on the US BD release.. but still the efford getting it unbanned and released at least qualifies it to be bought, for me.
Well.. there were severall german languaged DVD release in Austria.. but none official BD release.. only a bootleg.. so.. yeah... everyone wanting the movie already got it...
The old movie is no longer banned in GErmany.. mid 2016 the ban was lifted, october 2016 it also was stated not to be harmful for youth anymore.. and janmuary 11th it got the Free for 16 and above FSK rating...
ah.. there is also a not limited unrated japanese release: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01NAW4AGQ/
also there will be a limited japanese Version for the original The Evil Dead ( https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01MYB4NPX/ ), with the same display as the german ( http://www.ebay.de/itm/132077391698 ) upcoming limited release:
on the other hand: japanese releases often are quite the top notch releases... either due bitrate, or audio options other countries just don't seem to get...
but.. it's from japan.. so the movie itself would be about 40-50 bucks alone...
Looks like we're finally getting House on Blu-Ray, end of March. In fact, we're getting the whole quadrilogy
Seems as if japan is getting the unrated "The Evil Dead" (remake) Version on limited Blu: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01N7V3QTF/
Made a quick comparison between X-Files movie DTS LD and DVD and, apart LD has a bit more red, the color grading seems the same... at the contrary, Alien Resurrection on DTS LD has a very different color grading - still not sure if its master used a silver retention processed print... but colors are so much better! Take a look at the comparison here: https://vimeo.com/202423916
OMG I was wrong! It turns out you CAN still use WindowsXP AND get security updates: https://betanews.com/2014/05/26/how-to-c...ntil-2019/ I hope those of you *cough* ANDREA *cough* have tweaked your registry accordingly!
I think they used something similar to construct the 3D CG models in Tron. Back when computers were so expensive only the 5 richest kings of Europe owned them!
I always thought it looked like a vector based monitor setup. Nice. You can still get that type of physical interface, I use a similar setup for grading.
I wonder if it's possible to find out a similar controller to be uses with Windows: https://youtu.be/yMeSw00n3Ac?t=311
I swear blind I saw the lawyer get swallowed whole by the T-Rex in Jurassic Park at the cinema
I can't trust my memory either, I swear I saw an earlier Special Edition teaser which had no footage, which made no mention of the changes, and which used the same " One Last Time" tag line as the VHS releases. I remember being confused if it was referring to the video release or a theatrical re-release. I remember seeing the SE trailer before ID4 and finally understanding. I even swear I saw the earlier teaser around Christmas 1995, possibly before Jumanji. Only problem - the trailer does not exist. Usenet proves there was no trailer for the SEs until spring 1996, and it's the first version of the SE trailer we know
I have to remind him every time it comes up. He also confuses the two movies and is never sure which he saw in the theater at a certain theater. If it was summer '64 I have no idea if it was a later-run Pink Panther or early in the run of A Shot in the Dark, he thinks the latter
Oh, and this is not an issue of unreliable childhood memory, because my dad was 24 when SW came out.
There is also debate among my father and aunt over whether my father actually saw Star Wars in the theater, my aunt recalled the exact theater where they saw it, but my dad insists he did not see it until it came to HBO
Those two things are incongruous, if he saw it in HBO it would have been uncut, he must have seen it on network TV
We were watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High once, my dad (who is not a prude or anything) was surprised to see Phoebe Cates' bare breasts, he had sworn it always cut away
But this is exactly why I am such a skeptic about supposed deleted scenes making it into a released version
I had to prove to my father that Fabian and Shelly Fabares were never Mouseketeers once, he was shocked to find out because he had sworn they were
Doubtful anyone would want to sell that. The fella probably got buried with it.
PDB, I can CLEARLY remember renting "The Phantom Menace" on VHS and in it, there was no character named Jar-Jar Binks. I've spent the last five years or so hunting down that VHS with zero luck.
We have talked a lot before about people remembering non-existent scenes in movies but never remembering movies that never existed: http://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech...nk-it-does
TSmuxer is quick. I've never had problems with BD compliance. Can't eac3to mux to MKV?
Well, I used the same drive for TSmuxer as well, but it was 14x faster - or, MVKtoolnixGUI 14x slower, pick your poison! If only I could be sure its output is 100% BD compliant, I'd use it exclusively!
