  Klexos AKA icebox616's Wizarding World and Middle-Earth Open Matte Extended Editions
Posted by: Cryogenicality - 2025-04-23, 02:09 PM - Forum: Released - Replies (1)

Greetings, all.

I followed Klexos' thread here on his Wizarding World open matte extended cuts as a lurker for the past couple years. That thread was closed due to a large volume of people joining and pestering Klexos for links because they did not read the thread (which drove him off this forum). Since he has not returned in nearly a year, I am posting to inform this forum that over the last nine months, Klexos has released his revisions of the Fantastic Beasts trilogy, the first four Harry Potter films, the Hobbit trilogy, and The Return of the King. 

He has made a post for each of these eleven epic edits on his Reddit profile (icebox616).

Please read carefully and do not ask him for links; navigate to his profile page instead.


As Klexos has explained on Reddit, he is currently unable to finish his revisions of the remaining six films due to his old computer failing and lack of funds. While he is currently saving for a new computer, he does not know when or if he will be able to resume fanediting work. If he does, he has expressed interest in using generative filling instead of simple ambilighting to fill in the corners, as was recently done—apparently for the first time—by random.next (via introspected's AutoOverlay and sczhou's ProPainter) for his Terminator 2 fanedit (which was subsequently used as the base for JayXtended_Edition's extended cut). This is an exciting new development in fanediting technique and I hope Klexos will be able to apply it to his projects one day, although I think the current ambilight solution works remarkably well and is vastly superior to leaving black spaces in the corners.

Also, Klexos has not retained copies of his original versions but has directed people interested in them to find them through others who still have them. Redditor JayXtended_Edition (formerly superzwei) helpfully shares his encodes of Klexos' Wizarding World fanedits with anyone who asks. I am currently searching for the uncompressed files of Klexos' original versions of the final four Wizarding World films as well as for his original versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers (whether compressed or uncompressed) and will report back here for you all if I locate them.

Please join me in congratulating Klexos on this momumental, yearslong effort and enjoying these truly definitive presentations of the Wizarding World and Middle-Earth sagas.

  The Thing (1982) LD audio synced to 4K
Posted by: Kreeep - 2025-04-23, 08:57 AM - Forum: Requests, proposals, help - Replies (1)

So, I've come across a couple of LD tracks synced to the 35mm, but not the 4K. I'm looking for whichever sounds best, most likely between the Letterbox and Signature releases I presume. If anyone can help us out, that would be amazing. Thanks Smile

  A1 Evo Neuron
Posted by: alleycat - 2025-04-17, 12:26 PM - Forum: Everything else... - No Replies

Anyone here with a Denon/Marantz receiver running Neuron? It has transformed my setup.

If you don’t know what it is, it’s an automated script that bypasses Audyssey and calibrates your AVR using REW. The latest version lets you take measurements in the script using the Audyssey mic and also replaces the default filters on the AVR.

There’s also a video guide on YouTube.

  Longtime Lurker
Posted by: gateway2000X - 2025-04-17, 11:20 AM - Forum: Presentation - No Replies

Hello forum. I've loved this forum for a long time but I was always able to get releases through my film club. That was years ago, so now I'm making a name for myself here. It helps that I now have a much better understanding and deeper appreciation of films and filmaking than I did in the past. Looking forward to being here officially.

Hi all, Collector of any physical media however it can be hard to often find cuts that hold up to the theatrical release, happy to have found a place where people make so much of an effort in restoring films to how they should be presented, happy to be a part of this community.
