Love it or hate it, TPM changed how films are made. Usually movies would have "effects sequences". It was a new thing to have effects used in pretty much every shot as part of telling the story.

That sig image is a tad large, Duracell. Could you make it a little smaller please?

"Loath"? And this fella's taken it upon himself to rewrite the prequels?

Hey! He's not the only one. Quite a lot of people have done it too. I've done it myself, and I loath them too. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

There are only three of them. I guess that's a plus. ;)

Now there are three of them... there may be more in the future though.

Hey, get my face off of this thread.

If that happens there will be too many of them.

Watch it with the image-only posts - you need to read the announcement entitled How Not To Get Banned.

You've already been warned once before so consider yourself lucky - I must be in a festive mood otherwise you would be serving out a temporary ban right now. 

Yikes! Sorry Moth3r!! I won't do it again.

Moth3r isn't being festive (that would be more horrific than a new trilogy of Hayden films).

There is text in and outside the image so it's not an image only post.

It's pretty close to one though (as in here be dragons) ;-)

He is still his usual scary self and we could have done with a bit more of that earlier in the week.

I don't know. I've found that the prequels actually cause me constipation rather than relieving it.

Plus, if you have an annoying visitor, they are more likely to like the prequels, so that plan may backfire.

Logicking is what I do best.

So as some know, I'm working on a project to collect missing material from the Star Wars films.  I'm largely done with the OT, but I've been collecting stuff for the PT--not as extensive because I don't find the PT to be nearly so awesome, but a decent amount.  As I'm doing so, I'm using sites like T-bone's Star Wars Universe.  This is a very cool site with tons of information.  One of the things that impresses me is the context given for much of the deleted material.  And when referring to the PT, I can't help but think, "Ooh, the movies would have been better if they left in that line, or this scene, or that shot."  While the PT is clearly inferior to the OT, I do still enjoy it.  But I am sure I would have enjoyed it more had it been edited differently, not just cutting out a bunch of junk, but including some stuff currently missing, including some stuff that didn't even make it to the BDs.  I am now convinced that in spite of weak acting, overuse of CGI, and a weaker script, the films could have still been dramatically strengthened with some better editing.

I like John William's score.

Who is John William?

He is the singular of John Williams.
