| The Revenant - Open Matte |

So I grabbed The Revenant 2015 Open Matte 1080p BluRay DTS x264-VietHD earlier today but when I started watching the scene of the naked man stumbling into the camp was blurred out making me think this was a TV rip and not a BluRay. Plus I can't see any BluRay release other than the 2.39:1 one.
Anyone know any different open matte versions that aren't censored?

I bought a new HDD lately, an HGST 10TB with a max speed around 250/300MBps.
Lately, I noted that, if I move a huge file (several GBs) from the SSD (SATA, max 550MBps) to it, speed is around 1.7GBps - and it's not a lie, as it takes few seconds to move the file, instead of some dozen seconds...
Why? How?

| HALLOWEEN: Evil Waits (2013 regrade with new prologue and original mono audio) |

HALLOWEEN: EVIL WAITS
a pipefan413 preservation
This is mostly Halloween as we know it, but with a few tweaks:
1. The original mono audio has been reinstated (in lossless 16-bit PCM) and the TV audio has been level boosted by approximately 5dB so that it is no longer significantly quieter than the rest of the film.
2. I have added a new prologue consisting of a re-edited presentation of one of the scenes shot for the 1980 TV cut. As well as cutting some shots and rearranging others, I regraded the colour to somewhat more closely approximate the DP-approved "35th Anniversary Edition", since that was my source for the rest of the footage.
3. 10 frames have been trimmed from the start of the opening titles so that the timing of the main theme kicking in after the new prologue is more satisfying (you can almost count the theme in with a bar of 5/4 at the right tempo).
4. The whole thing has been re-encoded down ever so slightly to a video bitrate of around 35Mbps so that it'll fit onto a 25GB Blu-ray disc with a little room left for a menu and potentially a bonus video or two if you like. The direct rip of the unedited film was 36.2Mbps and slightly too big at 25.5GB, but this release is around 22.9GB. I have attempted to ensure that it's disc-compatible, but I don't reckon I want it on disc myself so burn at your own discretion (you might want to inspect the file closely before authoring).
I did this after re-watching Croweyes1121's Halloween: Revised Extended Edition, which adds the 1980 TV scenes to spoRv's THX-esque regraded release (Fundamental Collection #006). Whilst I love that release as an alternative way to watch the film, I find the TV scenes to be distractingly mismatched with everything else, and they mess with the flow of the edit significantly. However, one scene between Loomis and young Michael in Smith's Grove stood out to me in a good way. I do not feel that it sits well where it was placed for the extended TV cut, but I thought it might work as a brief prologue to the original theatrical cut. That's exactly what I've done with this edit.
NOTE: The regrade of the TV footage is by no means "accurate" in any way, since it uses no direct reference and was not intended to reproduce an existing version of this footage. It's definitely heavy on the blue. This is primarily because I'm new to colour grading but wanted this out by Halloween, so I just did a very simple curve adjustment to cut the red channel fairly heavily and the green channel slightly, as opposed to learning and implementing a more sophisticated technique. It does nonetheless look better to me overall than it did on the special features of the 35th Anniversary Blu-ray Disc, or in Croweyes1121's regrade (which was targeted toward the THX colours to match Fundamental Collection #006) and if I do get better at this stuff and manage to get my hands on a better source e.g. the bonus disc from the 2014 US Complete Collection, I might take another run at this. For now, it does what I want it to do and I figure it might be of interest to somebody out there. Here's a quick example of what it looked like in the source I had vs how it looks in my first release: http://www.framecompare.com/screenshotco...n/J0EMMNNU
In terms of availability, it's currently on the 'Spleen and will be made available elsewhere if anybody feels like inviting me to another suitable tracker that's still taking on new members.
Enjoy!

Hi there.
So, bringing you Terminator 2...
...partially? Yes, only some of the changes are fixed 
I found to big issues:
1. The remastered BD has more detail than the old BD (much more). When cropping and pasting, the difference it's noticeable. In some cases particularly distracting. The bike jump scene was the one that made me drop the idea. Pasting the original "Arnie's face" back made the fix too distracting.
2. They are different scans. To fix the changes you have to rescale, adjust rotation, color match the two scenes, and if you have the HDDVD or the 2015 BD as source for the original version, degrain it. The PQ difference, it's just to big and there's also one more thing you can do nothing about: the scan. When scanning a film there are some stretching and pinch effects that might be noticeable between two different scans. A comparison is the best way to describe it. Here's a frame from The Terminator where you can see very clearly what I'm talking about:
https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x=241...0&i=1&go=1
When fixing Arnie's face in the bike jump scene, the still frames looked fine but it was noticeable in motion. Not to mention the obvious difference in PQ. Same for the equipment visible when the T-1000 is driving the truck chasing John and the stuntman in the back seat when escaping from Pescadero (blurry stains if you ask me). Just too distracting.
So in the end, I fixed only the most obvious changes (T-1000 secret gun, truck's flying windows, Van Damme look alike stuntman, Arnie's face riding away from the truck's explosion).
End of rant.

For more subtitles, use opensubtitles, for example, to find the one you want.
You can find it on katcr *dot* co (kickass torrents) (it's ok to say where as long as I don't post any links, right?)

After hearing so many bad things about MI:2 I decided to give it a watch for the first time since I was a kid and honestly it wasn't that bad. The action was solid, it never got boring, and some of the music was awesome e.g. Injection and Nyah by Hans Zimmer, Take a look around by Limp Bizkit, and I Disappear by Metallica. I found out there exists a 3 and 1/2 hour workprint with some extra violence not in the theatrical. It's apparent in the middle of the movie that huge portions were cut to fit the 120 minute guideline for the studios who once again butchered John Woo's original vision. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on MI:2 and this supposed 3 hour plus workprint
