sync complete

It's over, gonna throw a party now... but yeah the tough grind of pain stakingly syncing every scene is over. It's all matched up as best as possible. Like I said slight bullshit changes to the dvds have caused the tracks to not be the same exact audio track so it's not a swap job. It's a meticulous bit by bit process...

I could get the rest of it done right the hell now and throw down a rough cut to take a look at it and find mistakes... but I'm so over looking at this movie and exploring its universe. Love it, but it's definitely a movie to watch once in a blue not engross yourself in it or its awkward ass story... I'm discovering bits of it that kinda make it more profound as I watch it. Like who the hell is Ming anyway and what was he really doing in the boy's life. It's definitely a riff on wizard of oz more than alice in wonderland. Essentially the boy never does leave to tao but the journey he goes on is about teaching him life lessons and none of the movie really happens, it's all in his head... so yeah, weird. Don't know what the sequel potential might have been considering the story is resolved in one film... must have missed the significance of the medallions at some point, it just is suddenly a thing at the end of the film. Maybe there's a scene or something... flawed but powerful well made film... just a sad end to it, alot  of hard work for zip nothing. Didn't really take off as a concept though it's much better than a lot of misfires of the 90s era...And future films trying to do the same thing. If you want me to elaborate, the movie that's TRYING to be this movie is that piece of clunky garbage the forbidden kingdom... like I said, lots of movies do this same concept and just suck... this one isn't one of them.

I have indeed watched the entire movie frame one to last and the rip I downloaded is again kinda a messy thing. Ideally I'll be able to purchase the damn dvd myself rip it properly and losslessly then now that I have accurate audio to match it, just remaster it in english. I will get to that in time. For now stay with me and you'll get a nice gift some time tomorrow...
