I expect many will realise what movie my username references. Yes, I'm a big John Carpenter fan, but a big movie fan in general. Movies are a big part of my life. Some would say a little too much!
But finding this forum and seeing some of what you've all been up to, makes me realise how lazy I've become. Generally accepting the lastest version as the one to get, without really properly comparing. Well, not so much more recently because I've been seeing how mistakes and bad choices have been creeping in, making some movies worse and less enjoyable.
Also, it's frustrating how so many movies have been re-mastered for Blu-ray and 4K, some multiple times over the years, but we are still waiting for many movies that are only on DVD.
While I still have quite an extensive DVD collection, most of it is boxed up and not so easy to access at the moment. But I'm wondering what gems I might have, but don't realise.
I've dabbled in a bit of syncing, editing, but only quite basic stuff really. My attempt at an AI upscale of a DVD didn't go so well, but obviously my 9 year old PC with integrated GPU is a major limiting factor! So I plan to upgrade to a much newer spec PC (when possible) and start learning more.
Meanwhile, I hope no one minds if I ask some daft and/or obvious questions here and there.
