Ok guys that's enough

That's why I avoid the discussions about politics as far as I can...

Am I reading this right? OT has crumbled into anarchy?!

You're not the person I'm upset with.

I should have just stayed logged out. I'll edit my posts. Sorry SW.

It's not your fault.

I really do not need to read about OT forum drama over here guys.

...

You're welcome, but you're the hero here! :bow:

...

...

haha yeah i like to be a good person i suppose.

@DoomBot .... you pm me even if it's just to check up on me, how could I not be nice to you? LOL

Thanks Chew, I'll be working on the Alien DC project while I'm away. It needs a release.

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

...

I am okay and I've got plenty to keep my mind busy.

Ban? What happened?

No doubt Jetrell Fo is a really good guy and has been nothing but nice to me.

@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...

Don't use the send mail funciton, it doesn't work

Thanks Andrea, most appreciated.

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

Did you try pm'ing him?

Does anybody know what happened to Colek? He just kind of disappeared.

We sure are: https://mobile.twitter.com/QPSmedia/stat...1737720832

We're gonna get it anyway.

No, we really couldn't.

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 think someone needs to move to a warmer climate

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

It snows... It snows... I wonder if the snow flakes are DIN normed...

Ok so 47°F where I live and 47°C in Australia. Sounds about right

And here I am, wading through snow

Lol! Australia Is Hot As Balls

Currently 47°F (9°C) in the south of France... Planning to move into some warmer country ASAP lol

I wear T-shirts until the temperature drops below 10C for more than one day...

Have an happy summer Poita!

21C I would consider jacket and warm long pants weather 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

Ugh, temperature just hit 43.5C (110F) here.

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

A bit pricey too

There's a 35mm print of John Carpenter's Halloween on ebay. A bit red though

The USA.

We have a west coast here, too...

The west coast of where?

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...

But I assume everyone already had a copy in Germany

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...

Lol that's pretty cool too

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:

They do go out of their way...but then charge you for it like you said

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...

I know that problem...

Yeah I hear you, I don't have the room for that stuff

but.. it's from japan.. so the movie itself would be about 40-50 bucks alone...

I would be happy with a non so displayed, but cheaper unrated BD release.

Ok that Evil Dead display is several kinds of awesome

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/

I do have cinema DTS for Fight The Future X-Files movie as well.

LD does look much better

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

Wow... Seems very strange in 4:3 (p&s I think...)

Mhmmm the "good, the bad and the ugly" US LaserDisc from 1983...

Thanks for the hint, Valeyard!

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.
