Glad to be here! A long-time lurker who's interested in joining.

maybe this was already talked about and i just missed it...

The 4K disc comes with a new atmos mix, but also has 2.0 mix. the blu-ray has a 5.1 mix. my question is: are the 2.0 and 5.1 the theatrical mixes or are they just downconverts from the atmos mix?

Hello, everyone! I really enjoy seeing the interest and hardwork involved in these restoration projects. I look forward to learning more!

Hi! I recently stumbled across these forums while searching for info on a specific show that was censored. Figured I might as well say hello while I'm here. 

Happy Holidays!

Total noob here, recently discovered this place. I was inspired by the semi-recent CinemaStix video on the idea of editing The Bourne Identity without the Treadstone scenes... I started trying to make my own, then went googling to see if there was discussion about that kind of movie editing, and I found this place! I don't know the lay of the land but I'm excited at the idea of re-cutting movies for new perspective! I've only heard of this kind of thing before with the Star Wars Machete order, and that's not even cutting movies it's just a watch order.

No idea what I'm doing, gonna try and learn the culture here first, and it seems like introductions are a part of the process, so this is me saying howdy o7

hi everyone

I've been into the magic of movies since I was a small kid. My parents never currated if a movie was appropiate for me or not and because of that I was 9 years old when I first saw Predator. I shit my pants, couldn't sleep and my mind was blown. But after that, I was hooked on movies.

But for some reason I never knew about fan restorations. I was getting extremely bored with Netflix and I wondered why I didn't even like to watch the old classics anymore. Then I came across a video on YouTube explaining the difference between the original Aliens and the digitalized version and I finally understood what is so magical about the 35mm originals movies. 

So to any one creating these movies... Thank you! Since I've seen a few restored movies, I found back my love for these movies as how they where once created. It was like opening a window to how I once remembered the movie (especially Predator, but luckily I didn't shit my pants this time). 

I know you shouldn't request anything... but I'm still gonna do it, since I hope my story resonates with someone that could help me. Nine years ago on this day, I've lost my son Mathijs. I was still borned and we cremated him in a setting styled as Where The Wild Things Are. Now I understood that movies was shot in 35mm and I hope some one has it restored and digitalized somewhere with the soundtrack as how it was seen in cinema. So not the Arcade Fire trailer version. It would mean the world to me since the soundtrack from Karen O and the Kids has a specific memory to the events for when we lost our son. 

I hope some one reads this and thank you in advance if you are willing to help.

I decided to share the original stereo track of This is Spinal Tap as a tribute to Rob Reiner.

According to blah-ray, the stereo track on the Criterion UHD and releases starting with the 2009 MGM Blu-ray appears to be a downmix of the 5.1 track and the original stereo is only on the older Criterion DVD.
