I've ever since my second watch of X-Men Dark Phoenix have enjoyed the film... and after learning of it's crazy production with major reshoots changing the whole third act, different goals and ideas, shortened vision, missing trailer footage, etc, etc, I've wanted to reconstruct it. I've really wanted to try and create the epic that was the original cut and while I think it'd be impossible to fully recreate it, because I can't go to NYC and shoot the actors doing the original scenes... I do think I could with help (someone doing VFX) make something more grand, and at least different. (image)(image) I mean you have these pieces of concept art, but there's way more; There's an excellent YT video by the channel "Dark Phoenix Un-Cut" that has a lot of the art and such in one video... what I would give to try and just reconstruct simple things, like Jean having more fire, or the original opening titles... Even the teaser's got missing stuff cause it's from before the reshoots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWbMckU3AOQ The shot of Scott in the fog, Charles in the backyard of the X-Mansion "apologizing" which we do have that deleted scene on physical... but like I said I don't wanna just slap in 4 scenes and call it good, I want to make something grander, more epic. Will anyone help me?

I have been struggling with Star Trek First Contact. I am thinking I might try and touch one of my other projects but I can't remember what they are.

Any fan-edits you guys got in the works? Any trailers or clips?

Mine is pretty excessive, trying to watch all of Spielberg's pre-Disclosure Day works, also wanna watch Nolan, Hitchcock and other directors films. Got like over 600+ on my letterboxd watchlist, haha

Metal Gear Solid: Ranger Regiment is this killer fan edit by BIind_Uchiha over on Reddit that takes the Netflix movie War Machine and completely transforms it into something that feels straight out of the Metal Gear Solid universe. It totally captures that classic MGS vibe from the very first scene all the way through, like it belongs right alongside the games with the epic tension and stealthy action that makes the whole thing pop. The way BIind_Uchiha reworked everything just clicks in a way the original never did for me, swapping in all the Metal Gear OST tracks and layering on those perfect robot sound effects for the killing machine so it feels authentic and immersive. Every little tweak adds up to something way more badass, turning what was already a pretty solid flick into this cohesive, heart-pounding experience that pulls you in and keeps you hooked the entire runtime of one hour and twenty-eight minutes.I love how it trims out all the unnecessary stuff like the learning-to-be-a-leader subplot and the whole alien invasion angle, cutting dialogue and scenes to keep the action moving fast without any filler slowing it down. The Metal Gear OST tracks are placed perfectly throughout to build that intense atmosphere and really paint the scenes with pure MGS energy, and the main character carries those soundtracks like he’s stepping into Snake’s boots during the toe-to-toe combat with the towering Metal Gear. But man, the sounds of the robot are what really make it awesome, those Metal Gear effects layered on the killing machine crank everything up and make the big moments hit so much harder than they ever did before, giving it that exact feel Kojima was talking about when he said the original was basically Predator meets Metal Gear.Yeah, the action scenes can get seriously loud especially when the big boy shows up and you might wanna keep the volume control handy unless you’re all in for that full immersive holy-poop-that’s-intense experience the characters are feeling, but it’s not a deal breaker at all and honestly just adds to how epic it all feels. Overall it’s amazing and sounds way more intense than the real movie ever did, with the music and those robot sounds cranking everything up to another level. Coming from someone who straight-up loved this fan edit after hearing about it, Metal Gear Solid: Ranger Regiment by u/BIind_Uchiha is a huge win and totally worth checking out if you’re into the MGS series or just want to see War Machine turned into something three times more badass.

gave this a good go today. Without my coding companion, it's difficult and I have to go bit by bit. So I have currently settled for just having two latest fan works and two random fan works. I can work on it some more slowly, I think I want to reduce the size of the fanwork thumbnails and i want to include a sort of carousel so more can be included. The random ones are not fully random either, or at least they don't feel random.

I have also taken a look at the menu and cleaned up a bit, grouping some elements in dropdown boxes. this should make it easier to navigate.

breadcrumb wouldn't work on topic loaded from outside the forum. to be honest with the loss of claude sonnet 4.5 I lost a lot of confidence in being able to get the code correct. I can code on my own, but with my audhd I can get overwhelmed with complex syntax. I decided to have a proper crack at it today, just something simple to see how I go. I am pretty happy with the outcome. I already fetch tags for topics so what I needed t do was to isolate the first tag and apply it to the model. then pass it to the breadcrumb generator. Bingo, it works! it seems simple to be honest, but with my mental processing issues lately, simple things can get overwhelming easily. anyway, enjoy your breadcrumbs!!! it does improve the forum by instilling that sense of place. I also adjusted the page styling so it remains stuck to the top of the viewport so you don't have to scroll all the way up.

Yeah it's a shame how YouTube and other similar sites have leaned into automation, a machine's sense of justice does not necessarily equal a human beings sense of justice. The lack of professionalism in how they chose to deliver the news of my ban from YouTube didn't help either, thankfully there are still good people in the world and as time goes on more good people appearing and growing in the world who are trying to and in some cases have succeeded in making things better.

These automated systems are terrible, honestly that makes my blood boil, when you were working within legal allowances, but they just don't give any reasonable consideration for that. We need more decent humans making decisions.

I've definitely noticed an unfortunate trend concerning the double standard of ableisim both online and in real life where people will treat those they view as disabled or lesser than them as if they were mentally younger than they actually are or they end up perpetuating the misinformed attitude that it's okay to not take a disabled person seriously and treat what they say and do as funny because there disabled. Which quite frankly just sickens me, people who resort to Sexism, Homophobia, Classisum or Ageism online are usually dealt with fairly quickly before there toxicity gets out of hand yet when it comes to Ableisim the higher ups of said sites don't bat an eye or they resort to favouritism, there are some buttholes that honestly don't deserve the position of admin/moderator I know I would be fuming if I were in the situation that you were in. As for PG13 and online related situations in recent memory where I felt the online justice system was being unfairly set against me it would have to be when I used to be a content creator on YouTube, despite sticking as close to the fair use policy as humanely possible my videos got either deleted or lambasted with copyright claims and even when I attempted to refute such claims using factual evidence that strongly supported my case for why said videos were not in violation of the fair use policy they would still get rejected anyway as if no one bothered to read them. It got to a point where I had to publicly call out the YouTube higher ups on there flawed and unethical policy regarding there mistreatment of content creators which soon led to my permanent ban from YouTube where just to rub it in even further they sent me an email stating that they were happy to announce that my video had been taken down and that I no longer had access to YouTube as my account was put under criminal investigation despite the fact I had committed no criminal offence whatsoever. I'd definitely say I've been a victim of systemic abuse or a victim in situations where those in power felt the need to place themselves above the rules they created and absolve themselves of consequences.

I'm sure you have stories about when this has effected you. Personally, I experienced this most recently on steam. I was being subjected to ableism by other users and the moderators came along an locked the topic, chastised me for pushing back, and did nothing to the perpetrators.

I was thinking about this just now. About justice systems and the state of moderation on a lot of online platforms. Lord Chief Justice Geoffrey Lane said "It is not enough that justice is done; it must also be seen to be done." With regards to online platforms like steam forums or reddit or Facebook, etc. The following cna apply; Lack of Transparency Opaque Policies: Many platforms do not clearly communicate their rules or the reasons behind moderation decisions, leading to confusion and frustration. Inconsistent Enforcement: Users often perceive a double standard when similar behaviors are handled differently, undermining trust in the system. Secrecy in Justice Limited Visibility: Disciplinary actions taken against users (like bans or content removals) are rarely shared, creating a gap in understanding and confidence in the system. Targeted Responses: Victims of online harassment or abuse may feel that their concerns are dismissed without due process, further perpetuating a toxic environment. Impact on Community Toxic Atmospheres: The combination of perceived injustice and lack of accountability can lead to hostile interactions, making users feel unsafe and unwelcome. Erosion of Trust: When users feel that justice is not served transparently, it breeds distrust in the platform and its community guidelines.

I've been for the past five months rewatching the entire Disney animation canon from 1937 to present day, and still going so far... now in 2000... but that only covers animation.. The fact is while Disney now days is criticized for there "live action" films being either shot for shot remakes, or stupid boring movies, there's a lot of great legacy to them... Live Action has been a part of Disney really since the Song Of The South which while yes forgotten and critiqued, it was the first film to feature live action footage at Disney... But the real start didn't begin till 1950's Treasure Island, a full theatrical live action film based on the beloved novel... Anyways my goal through the next year is to watch mostly every theatrical Disney Live Action feature, and rate them... If I like them, I will seek to own them, but if I do not, I won't own them... but furthermore I'll give a 1/5 star - 1/10 scaling for each feature... This will not contain everything... there will be some notable exceptions: 1. If the film is only available to view through illegal means - yes I know I can find Song Of The South or future films but if I have to commit piracy to do it, then really I don't think it's worth doing... piracy is by law a crime and I don't seek to risk a fine just to watch some forgotten flicks. 2. if it has content I am not morally comfortable with - some films deal with themes of witchcraft or sex that I am not comfortable with (not a lot) but some... so I will simply mention why I skipped it and move on. I don't blame anyone who has viewed them, I only ask my choice is respected. So to begin... let's go back to 1948's So Dear To My Heart. Honestly this is a film I have fond memories of as a kid, one I enjoyed and thought was a cute little Disney film. On rewatch as an adult I must say it still has the cuteness and some of the heart, but is more baffling then remembered. For starters, I think it's still got a heart to it, it's the classic trope of a kid finds an animal and has his heart set on owning it, I wouldn't call it a cliche it's human nature, we as children love cute animals (most do) and seek to have them, because we just love how adorable they look... and on that part of the script, great hook, cute Disney sheep story... But it really crumbles in it's execution and quality... I think the characters are fine, you have the Granny who runs the farm on her own obviously concerned about providing for her and her son Jeramiah in which gives almost a defense to what some may accuse her of "being mean". She's not mean, she's just trying to be realistic and to her the sheep *lamb* is nothing but a source of trouble... I also like the little kid Jeramiah, and some of the other characters, his friend, the Uncle, etc etc. All fine... The moral itself... what even is the moral? The film tries to give a plot of "the kid wants to keep the lamb" his grandma is hesistant "so he goes on a quest to prove he's worth owning and keeping, he loves the sheep..." - so lets throw in an awards show... and have the kid suddenly upset when he loses... oh and throw in references to biblical figures (which I must say faith plays quite a noticeable apparence in this which I appreciate) but not only that... let's uhm have the animated owl say to the kid HEY! Christopher Columbus didn't quit his voyage, despite the storms... okay that's true... but he did quit when he didn't even land in the right country for peat sake... and then did very bad things.... Yea, great moral Disney... tbf it was 1948 but still... that aged like sour milk. Then let's put in the grandma saying the boy's blue ribbon for the sheep has gone to his head, he does not care about the sheep, only the ribbon... what evidence does she actually have? What evidence does she not have? and then the ending... so the lamb runs off, the boy prays he'll find it and promises God if he does, he won't go to the fair... then his Grandma comes (once he's found it) and says hey... so, God's known me longer and I prayed that if you did find him... I promised I'd take you to the fair... she legit basically claims "because I've known God longer" your prayer is null and you can still go... ???? It's a very rocky film, not garbage but not as tear jerking as other classic animal films of the 40s and 50s... even from Disney... it's rough but I enjoyed it. - 5/10 - 2/5 stars Does anyone else have other thoughts? I know it's a film with very mixed feelings...

Hey all, if you want to chat and hang out in a discord I've got one for fan-editors to just come out and have positive vibes. https://discord.gg/BrmD7N3bHF Please follow rules and be respectful. I strive to seek to create a positive chill environment. :D

That's great. Admittedly my reluctance to watch it comes from it being a comedy. I want them to be serious!!! But I'll consider it.

Yes I'm actually rewatching it currently. The comedy can be a bit off-putting to begin with, but it really captures the soul of star trek.

Yes... that last episode was unfortunate. I guess they just rushed it to create a semblance of an ending. I have not watched The Orville! But I have heard that it is excellent. I assume you did watch it?

Glad you enjoyed it, it is a wonderful series. I'm not a fan of the last episode though. It is a shame how it came to an abrupt end. Have you ever seen The Orville?

I just finished it! I am well pleased-- It's FANTASTIC! Season four is right up there with the best of Trek. Such a shame it got cancelled, it could've surpassed all the other series. I hope Scott Bakula's Star Trek: United will get made. It would be about Archer being president of the Federation. Insane. I am not sure how to continue now. I'm at season 3 of Babylon 5, so I might pick that up. Or I might do a run of Voyager with essential episodes. I don't think I can watch it all.

This edit has had a long and troubled development history and was originally going to be a two in one Fanmix of Ghost Rider The Extended Cut & Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance but various outside circumstances and contrivances caused the nature of the edit from it's tone to it's runtime to change rapidly over the years, certain months and days throughout those years proved to be quite emotionally draining for me given the circumstances and contrivances I was forced to deal with and navigate. For those who came here from Fanedit dot org and have been following me as I've developed this edit or have interacted with me through private messaging in regards to there thoughts and suggestions for this edit over the years, I thank you for your patience and understanding with me as you've tried to comprehend my rather unorthodox editing style and utterly insane narrative ideas including those I did for my Eastwood Tales edit. Your praise and constructive feedback meant and means the world to me and such feedback and praise helped me to get through the darker days of my time as a Faneditor and now hopefully brighter days as a Fan Creator. Upon initial glance and viewing, it may not seem like I've changed much or barely put any effort into it at all, in fact I can already predict viewers utter gasps of horror upon seeing the edits total runtime, though I assure you I put a lot of effort into it. Honestly I am surprised I saw this through and didn't call it quits given the amount of stuff I had to learn and overcome. Though regardless of it's growing or non existent reception it may or may not receive over the years I am just happy to have finally gotten the first half of it done. As for the second half (Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance) I shall resume work on that ole chestnut after hmm...lets say a two month break at the shortest or once Summer concludes at the longest, I despise the heat and bugs of summer with every fibre of my being. anyway that's all I wanted to say if you have any questions regarding Ghost Rider Episode I post em either here or through Fanworx DMS and if this edit interests you and you own the source than feel free to contact me via Fanworx DMS for the link.

This looks very interesting! Thanks for making the listing, it's really helpful. Do you know if they have done a trailer for it?
