Excellent news. I heard that they went all "Evil Dead 2" for the sequel (haven't seen it).

I have never seen TCM2, what is like Saltysam? Kinda cool they are doing a special edition for it.

TCM2 is rather lightweight and silly, further compromised by studio interference - Cannon, no less. But it has its moments

i thought it was excellent, pretty gruesome in parts with an amazing opening sequence. never understood why it gets such a bad rep

No, the studio headed in the 80's by that Dynamic Duo Golan And Globus. Also responsible for classics like Lifeforce, America 3000, Masters Of The Universe, Invasion USA and all those ninja movies...

No offence, but those are your idea of "classics"?

Lifeforce is a wonderful film.

I was being sarcastic - though a lot of them are good fun in the right mood

i'd never buy a film i didn't want just for the commentary

anyway the film's an underrated cracker so you'll like it anyway

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 12 Aug 2006, 15:07

Hey commentaries are better than most films

I am not like your average person you see, as I listen to them at work on my MP3 player so I get to listen to hundreds, in fact every single film I watch I listen to the commentary at work now

very enjoyable and passes the time very well and some I listen to a lot as they are that good

But I want to see it as I have never seen it, if its bad I can always sell.

jimmyscab · Post by **jimmyscab** » 13 Aug 2006, 19:15

Hey how do you extract commentaries to MP3? Do you record them in real time?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 13 Aug 2006, 20:47

I use a programme called #1 DVD Audio Ripper

takes a while, but it is good for sticking sound on your MP3 player to listen away from a TV.

Horrordvds.com has a review of it and there are screen captures to compare. I think it looks ten times better!

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 01 Sep 2006, 21:40

Thanks for the heads up, Joe.

HOLY SHIT, the difference is night and day! Don May Jr. is a God IMO, if that's the result of restoration supervised by him.

captainjoe · Post by **captainjoe** » 01 Sep 2006, 21:53

He's on the boards at horrordvds and he did supervise the new transfer. It's amazing how much better the movie looks. It's clean but still maintains the grain.

Cool, I'd heard that Don May Jr. has a large pressence on the web. Eg he has a Myspace apparently.
