What resolution, filesize would people want a grindhouse to be, and would you prefer the intermission cards left in or removed? Colour aligned or not? (It won’t realign perfectly unfortunately, but can be improved a lot), missing frames left as is?

Cast your votes here.

I feel like full 1080p would be beneficial (I’ll only be viewing on 720p or 768p, but thinking of others 😄). For the intermissions, I personally wouldn’t like it, but if others want them I don’t care. Colour allignment yes! As much as can be done, that is.

EDIT: Would the grindhouse include English audio? Since it’s the same as the US cut apparently, would it be easy to sync?

^That doesn’t sound very hard to do.

5 years is 33% of your lifetime.

So? What does that have to do with it? Spending the rest of his teenage life not watching three specific terrible films doesn’t exactly sound like a heavy chore. I probably won’t watch the PT again for even more time than that.

(I would also assume that “watching the PT” refers to actually sitting down in front of a screen and purposefully watching the entirety of the film; not just watching a 2 min. YouTube clip to remember something, etc.)

TV Series You Didn't Like But Kept Watching

Guilty again… Add Voyager and Enterprise to my list. Enterprise did improve a bit towards the end, but it was too little, too late. I kind of enjoyed Voyager and hated it at the same time. I liked that it had the same Star Trek “feel” as TNG and DS9, but hated that it was usually terrible. I have actually watched every episode twice.

I think I watched almost every episode of Enterprise, even though I truly despise it’s existence (my family watched the series).

Voyager I’ve never really cared for, but I don’t hate it (I just don’t watch it). I couldn’t get through the series, because most of the episodes I’ve seen have terrible plots, and none of the characters are really interesting to me except the Doctor. The only episode I like is "Real Life".

The macro-virus episode doesn’t help me appreciate the series either…

"MASH" After Radar left, the show just became lame. Still, I watched it till the end of it’s run.

I would say that it started becoming lame when the complete original cast was no longer there (it lost the chemistry the characters had), and then it simply got worse when Radar left. Whenever it shows on television, I’ve found the BJ mustache to be a good indicator of when I don’t want to watch it.
It doesn’t really matter much to me, though, because I like the film more than the series, and the novel is exponentially better than both combined.

"After MASH" Saw every episode, yet I still don’t know why I watched this show at all.

I’ve actually wanted to see that for some time now (morbid curiosity), but I couldn’t find it anywhere 😕.

Am I a Bully?
Time

When I was in sixth grade, there was one kid at my school that tried to bully/irritate everyone, and everyone hated him. He wasn’t like a tough beat up the easy target kind of bully; he was the name calling/empty threat kind of bully that nobody took seriously. He was so desperate for attention that he would purposefully bump into someone and then hurl himself into a wall, then claiming that he was pushed.

MUST each Star Wars Ep. have to have...?
Time

I’m still not sure why people noticed the title being “wrong” while not realizing that it’s the same as Empire. If you’re inspecting the crawls that closely, wouldn’t you have at least thought about the idea that one other film might also have used that font?

Personally, I prefer the Empire font. I don’t think I’d want Jedi to have it though; all the crawls being slightly different like that gives each film more character.
