Such people shouldn't get involved in these projects in the first place.

Looks amazing indeed! Which one is missing on HDR? Fellowship? Did you check on PTP?

after checking out both the FOTR HDR theatrical 4k and 1080 SDR I have to say, the 4k hdr is much better than I expected, it's really nice after looking at the official 4k remaster where all the effects shots now look alien and nothing that's composited feels like its in one place. thanks!

A little bonus upload for those who love PULP FICTION, below is a link for a half hour documentary aired in 2004 as part of a 10th Anniversary Retrospect that IFC did, includes interviews with Tarantino, Thurman and part of the production team.

Yeah I can see that, I only checked the LD one and thought it sounded fine, and without getting too technical about it I think it's good, but let's not get negative about this, it's pretty amazing that this scan leaked and that we can see it for free, hopefully a better LD audio track will surface.

Sadly most BD audio sucks anyway compared to what LD and VHS used to sound like, it's so muffled.

And if the original file is too big for you and you prefer smaller files you can find 2 smaller re-encodes with the link below below, the 4.6gb encode only has the LD audio, the Bluray DTS track alone is 5gb+ so I thought it was worth uploading both.

A few more screens because I think this scan deserves it, beautiful colors.

Another BIG 35mm scan that leaked just a couple days ago, PULP FICTION! Bluray & LD audio synched and subtitles in 7 languages (English, Spanish & French included). Thanks a lot to Sultan0fSleaze @ Twitter, Whatdthistv and Scooped for their work in getting this one out! ๐Ÿ™

Yeah, h265 would have been much better for grain retention but most people seem to be still using h264.

Lol yeah I guess people see "4K" and they instantly think "oh shit that's the best looking one I should download it! without looking at the technical details or comparing with other rips, but yeah no matter how many parameters you add on the software you can't achieve transparency at such low sizes.

This originally leaked in a 4K but that encode has some pretty serious blocking/pixelating issues as you can see on these screenshots, but if you still want the 4K you can grab it here: transfer.it/t/COPGuo4zSLha

Metropolis (2018 Universum restoration, 149 mins) The most complete version ever found, with missing scenes recovered from a 16mm print in Argentina. 1080p with eng/pt-br subs: transfer.it/t/DiRX3txTVbzT

It should work, try with a browser restart+cleaning cache and try again, let me know if it's still failing.

LOTR scans are back up now

Note that this is the last time I'll be reuploading these as they are very large files and take a long time to download and re-upload so unless I manage to make that 35mm drive once they're gone, they're gone. Enjoy!

I don't hink it's worth uploading a recap, it's a waste of time, you should only upload the ones that don't get blocked.
