Could the The Abyss finally be making it's way to BD http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=19501 next year though

Yeah the OT is much improved

thanks for the info, I'll be waiting for an invite or for open registrations... thank you

The OT layout looks so much better now. It was a nice surprise.

From all I've read, BluRG will be no more. Apparently uploaders went to BeyondHD but one needs an invite to be a member there. As a former member of BluRG I was not offered any heads up to the sites closing nor was I offered the courtesy of an invite to BeyondHD. I think it would be wise to let the dust settle before anyone goes looking for an invite. If Vinie is there I'm sure he'll come around and let us know what is happening.

I heard it's closed for good

Someone has any news about BluRG.xyz? The site is shut down?. Thanks any info

@PDB: Gnarly!

Hi. Is Blu Torrent (BluRG.xyz) close for good ? I can't seem to reach the website and their IRC. Does anyone else know what's happening ? Thanks to answer

Sweet, i like the Stranger Things cover. He makes them look so authentic

I love this guy's covers, he just added some new ones: https://www.instagram.com/iamsteelberg/

http://www.ruv.is/frett/sovesk-sveitalog...i-faxafloa A Soviet film print was found in Icelandic waters a few days ago. This news story is not in English, but there are a couple of videos where you can see the film print and the state it's in.

Yeah! August the 6th, I am gonna see "Full Metal Jacket", "Fight Club" and"Army of Darkness" in Delphin Palast, Wolfburg Cinema (okay, will be a digital screening, but this'll gonna be fun!) GErman languaged, and a German Short Movie "Staplerfahrer Klaus" just before AoD

I just remembered something about when I watched The Avengers in 2012. I remember the moment they said "the cellist", I immediately knew who it had to be... and lo and behold AOS episode 1x19... there she was. That was a nice moment.

Maybe someone can make a BD out of HDTV captures. Assuming there are any!

Aw, man.. not even a "If-Then-Else" ? I guess that's alright.

Let me send up a flare to see if I can see anyone: *flare* *cough* "cocoa puffs" *cough* "6,741" *cough* *cough* "Return 0" *cough*

Thats for sure. The Credits are even more important with deadpool, then with most of the other movies... because they are fun as hell...

Deadpool is one of those titles that REQUIRE seamless branching since the titles already set the mood of the whole film

Well, it was just, that it was more catchy to read such things like "Two overpaid idiots" in the oan language. I won't say that sey were in gernerall funnier, but some jokes are caught better in one owns mother-language.

What was so funny about it? You made me curious now ^^I also hate when you can't find the localized versions anymore. It's like for Spider-Man. I swear it was localized in cinemas and on the early TV versions. The ones we have on TV now are poorly localized with bad masks and wrong fonts.

Argh.. Deadpool BD only has english intro texts.. no localized seamles branched. The german localisation was so incredible funny...

"THAT'S IT !!" (says Charlie Brown to Lucy's 5¢ Psychiatric Help)

The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, meine damen und herren?

No, it's not. I have rarely experienced anything even remoteTORGO'S EXECUTIVE POWDER! ON SALE NOW AT $4.99!

Oh that must be the "High Dynamic Range" now discussed in some other form. (Ever notice how subject matters suddenly pop into the group consciousness en-masse? Very suspicious.)

It's funny how the colours of the real world only seem real when you see them projected on a screen.

He didn't care for it.

Oh, look, there's that fella walking outside who likes to throw rocks on my lawn. Hey, fella! Ya wanna try this suncream!?

Oh yeah perfectly safe, even good for the skin.

Hey, guys? That oily-gooey stuff I got in the mail that follows me around is safe to pet, right?

I thought so too, but now there's a dude at the back of the boss's office, smoking. The dude never says a word. Never. He's like some kind of... person who smokes cigarettes. Perhaps a man of that sort. Like those words, but in a different order.

I love it, great job taas and great episode

Very cool taas007

For whom it may concern: The paper ad for The X-Files episode "X-Cops" looks cool, but very low res..... so I made this: http://i.imgur.com/Dvdv7uO.jpg

Bill is back, time to Kill.......................bonus

Rats! I need a few composite cables.

It's still a thing of beauty.

Only as a collectible. Quality-wise? I'd go with a later (and recommended) model.

In that case, the price should be a lot higher!

Wikipedia lists the Magnavox VH8000 as "the first consumer player".

Seldom will you ever see one of these gas tube beauties in the original box! http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGNAVOX-VLP-DIS...1859350965

Should've stated "not as much with audio" ... as there's much more to go wrong with the video than with the audio.

Not so much with audio. Check out: http://www.mindspring.com/~laserguru/askjosh.htm ... "below I will provide a rundown of the players considered by collectors to be the cream of the crop", and then check eBay prices.

Presumably that goes for audio capture too.

LD players are NOT like DVD/Blu players. The price/quality of the LD player is directly proportional to your capture quality; while DVD/Blu output is mostly the same regardless of player cost.

Chew is right, that's going to be your best bet

Have you looked on eBay?

Anyone know where I can get an LD player cheap?

@MrBrown I don't own it, perhaps spoRv?

Does anyone know, how the englisch LPCM Stereo Audio on the Italian "The Crow" BD compares to the 5.1 DTS Mix on the US BD?

The Korean Disc just arrived today. Reading the infos on caps-a-holic.com, it seems to feature the same 2.0 audio stream, as the MGM US BD, Dolby Digital 224kbps...

@MrBrown I just got it from a member here, thanks.

@Evit: Maybe I get it next week from an eBay seller from UK... If the postal service don't lose it...

Ah.. okay.. thanks for the infos...

Not perfect, but just thought I'd point it out since the Mindbending one is usually $30, and now it's $5. But people would think at first glance that it's the crappier restoration being sold for $5 based on the cover.

Well, it's a stupid name for sure. It's a better transfer than the previous release and has some extra bonus features.

and.. what is the mind bending thing about that mindbending edition? remastered?

the disc inside still says Mind Bending Edition, though the cover makes it look more like the earlier BD release.

Interesting note: for anyone who is for whatever reason looking to buy the Total Recall "Mind Bending Edition" blu-ray, they've rebranded it as just 'Total Recall' in the last month or two, and it's now $5 instead of $30.

Does anyone own the Shout Factory release of Escape From NY?

Frank, you have a pm.

What IS blu-torrents?

@nafroe Thanks!

For those interested, HDNet is showing Star Trek TMP, TWOK, TSFS, and TFF this morning. I don't know if anyone can capture them or not. TMP started @ 6:00am.

What's that? Do I need a referral or something?

I used the same username I had from blu-torrents.net to login. Hope that helps!

@williarob It's now https://blurg.xyz

what happened to blu-torrents.net?

You guys might have blown the case wide open!

Joker: "That wasn't easy to get over and don't think I didnt try!" Batman: "I know you did!" Yep definitely sounds like fans vs Lucas

Now, can anyone make a poor Titan a four story cowl & cape?

We love George Lucase! We hate George Lucas! -- We've made him what he is today. But he's made us what we are today. -- BATMAN: "I'm going to kill you!" JOKER: "You idiot! You made me. You dropped me into that vat of chemicals." BATMAN: "You killed my parents." JOKER: "Hey, I was a kid when I killed your parents." BATMAN: "I made you? You made me first."

Phew.. losing about 8 kilo in one year doesn't help finding a suit in my wardrobe to go to a friends wedding... it makes it more difficult...

Same here. But the arrogance of some of the people there gets old after a while

I'm a bad quitter. I keep lurking!

But keep in touch. Let me know when DeEd Empire 2.5 comes out. Or the SSE BD. Or THX, or 2001.

I love the fact that I agree with most of you guys!

Fans will be fans. One thing about them is theyre always different even if it pertains to the same thing. Some respect the work and the artists while some just feel that their dedication to the work makes them entitled to something. Speaking for myself I wouldnt know what kind of fan to call myself. On one hand I love SW and respect George Lucas for creating it. On one hand I still find it unfortunate he didn't want the original cuts to exist anymore because to me thats rewriting history which is wrong no matter who were talking about. However I refuse to be the kind of fan who says 'Lucas raped my childhood'. Thats just arrogant and disgusting. As far as Daisy Ridley goes I love her and think she will carry the next couple films very well!

Maybe not "better", but not organized the way internet make it possible.

We failed in our existence when we were cursed with the technology to invent such horrible mind-rotting catastrophes! The Star Wars Special Editions! The Disney Blu-rays! We were better off in the analogue days! I wish we were still using video tapes and proper film!

I watch ALL versions of Star Wars to this day. I LOVE my Laserdisc versions best but I don't let what the fandom says about any of them ruin it for me. I cannot control the fans, George Lucas, or Disney but I can control what I own and enjoy.

Regarding George Lucas: Well, I honestly have to say that I dislike Episodes 1 to 3 that greatly, that I am not unhappy with him not being involved in Episode 7. I really like Ep. 7 (and never would have judged the fact that one of the the leading roles is a female one), but that is just my personal opinion, I really can understand different ones.. well except the one that it is a bad thing that Daisy Ridley is a woman...

Regarding Jake Lloyd: It is a sad thing that many people cannot distinguish between an actor, and the role they play in a movie/series. Exspecially with child actor's that attitude is greatly dangerous...

The biggest Problem: they won't see that, that attitude will not change...

They're ungrateful jerks! They turned Jake Lloyd into a schizophrenic, and they drove George away from Star Wars! And they bash Daisy Ridley for being a woman! They inspire active anger and pain in me, which is why I'm so misanthropic!

Sometimes "fans" are fans, sometimes they are hooligans... seems to be not a "sports fan only" phenomena...

And that's not even mentioning the fascist scum of the universe taking over. I'm beginning to think this guy I know was right - Lucas didn't ruin Star Wars, the fans did.

Long break? Don't kid yourself.

Leave it to the OT to brighten everyone's day .....

Yeah some users were getting vulgar. It started when someone was arguing how CGI is more 'real' compared to practical or something, then he called someone a retard, and it just went downhill from there. The thread was locked at one point. And yes adywan at one point said he was leaving but hopefully he'll return.

Maybe he's bummed that adywan is taking a long break from the OT?

What happened?

Worst May the 4th EVER.

I hear that

I get enough of it everywhere else I go!

I was there too FrankT. Just a lot of drama on that site yet Ive had no problem on this site thus far. Everyone seems nice

Ah. In that case a dark day indeed.... which means night. It's night then. And problems are for people in tomorrow.

No, in a bottle.
