Banning Canadians....and Astronauts
Link

Time

It has come to my attention that there are a lot of Canadians that are members here…and even worse, I am led to believe there might even be an astronaut or 2 lurking here. These evils must be routed out, exposed…and destroyed.

Canadians, as you are fully aware…come from a frozen tundra way up north. They all have mullet haircuts…watch hockey (AND CURLING…wtf!!)…only listen to the band “Rush”…they only have MOUNTED police (which is evil because they have to put skates or ski’s on the horses just to travel…ever seen a horse on skates? evil!)…they produced Justin Bieber (nuff said). The list goes on. Do we really want the human gene pool cluttered with people who have to utter the word “eh” after every sentence, like some stuttering retard? I think not.

Even worse is Astronauts. There is nothing more vile in existence than astronauts. They can only sleep in zero-gravity fields…they cant consume regular food, it must be in paste form, stored in a tube…hell for liquids they can only drink “Tang”. Think about it, do you want YOUR daughter hooking up with one of these freaks and producing some Moon Cheese Baby? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

We need to stamp out these genetic freaks, and immolate them, for the good of the species…
Who’s with me??!!??

Looks like Rastous is a mod. Mr. Nice Guy didn’t delete it himself, so presumably Negative1 messaged Rastous and he did a favor.

…but that goes against normal etiquette. You don’t huff a torrent unless it goes against the sites’ rules…or it had been abandoned and there are no seeders…OR if the ORIGINAL COPYRIGHT HOLDER threw up a C&D order…but since TN1 is not the owner of the source material (that would be mouse and rat)…I would have to go with the thought that Mr. NG was contacted. At least I hope so, if it was me and there was no good reason for my post to be deleted…I would be pissed and would immediately up the file to usenet, private and public torrents just to be a pain in the ass…

if you think about it…some people PREFER ‘grindhouse releases’ over cleaned/polished versions…we all know this…in a weird sense this is just like Lucas saying “well, this was not my INTENDED finished product, but I want all copies of pre-existing copies destroyed from history” … lol

Who is rastous? An admin? Whose authority did he delete it on? It was not uploaded by “we” (the team), but by Mr. Nice Guy. Did Nice Guy comply with the team’s demand or did they pull some strings?

In that case, that’s outrageous. Trying to delete their history by removing torrents and trying to get these threads locked? I would say we should just re-upload all their shit, but it looks like they might try to go over the uploaders’ heads and beg the admins. Wtf?

I honestly don’t know. Seems to me that only the original poster can delete his upload, unless it had zero seeds for some amount of time, and then an admin from spleen will huff the torrent link. I assume rastous is a member of TN1…i would have to guess that spleen pm’d Nice Guy for permission to huff. In any case…its not my business…I was just sharing info…

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *

“Official” Star Wars 8: The Force Unleashed Spoilers

  1. Chewbacca returns to Tatooine as captain of the Millenium Falcon, after the death of Han Solo. There, he recruits 2 first-mates. They are Heckle and Jeckle, 2 irascible brothers whose antics cause no end of trouble and laughter for poor Chewbacca. They will be CGI, and look sort of like wombats.

  2. Leia will become much more integral to the plot of “Force Unleashed” as she and her servant/companion, Beurre (another cgi-created character) enter the plotline. Beurre is a talking animated butter-dish, whose singing and positive attitude will delight children and adults of all ages. (Disney approved)

  3. Luke and Leia will explore and fully realize the “forbidden love” aspect of their relationship, in a desperate plan to revitalize the jedi ranks by creating children, and then multitudes of clones of those children. These new younglings will, however, have some forms of retardation, due to the in-breeding.

  4. As you know in real life, the character named Finn came under legal dispute by Finnius, a handle that had been used by ME since before the days of WWW, back with Arpanet and BBS. After clearly showing in court that I had been called “Finn” or “Finnius” since 1981…I was allowed to take over the role of Finn for all remaining movies. I will be digitally changed to blackface in the movie to keep continuity for the franchise. Finn will become the love interest of Rey, while the both of them begin Jedi training under the new Jedi Master.

  5. The new Jedi Master, Jar-Jar Binkenobi takes Rey and Finn under his wing, training them in the ways of the New Jedi Way…which includes pie-fights, prat-falls, eye-pokes and other distracting techniques to foil enemies. (it is rumored that a final battle between Jar Jar and Luke is in the script for episode 9, although Mark Hamill refuses to speak of anything, due to a gag order in his contract)

  6. R2-D2 somehow regains his repressed memories of serving Darth Vader AND Luke Skywalker, and immolates himself in a courageous act of remorse. C-3PO, distraught over his lovers’ death, vows to never love again. Beurre eventually cheers him up with song and dance, and by the end of the movie C-3PO bravely announces his homosexual programming to the rest of the cast.

  7. Kylo Ren dons armor, (much like Darth Vader) and his voice is augmented to match exactly to Professor Snape (from the Harry Potter series). Hearing of Luke and Leia’s romance, he vows to find HIS lost sister so that he can ALSO produce a horde of sith-children…and the race between the 2 factions for control of the galaxy begins.

Also, shame on you for posting anything Pixels related.

I wish to complain that no one else complained about the pixels link…

but seriously, I have been on lots of boards for years and have seen a lot of them go downhill because the regulars started drifting away after so many years (life, boredom, etc)…it happens. You hope to get some new blood in to revitalize/infuse the boards with fresh perspectives/humor/thoughts etc. Sometimes it happens, sometimes no. I’m new here but I like goofing around in off-topic area BUT also occasionally will try to spark some serious threads…I have silently been reading some of the threads here for a year or so but haven’t made an account until just a week or 2 ago…wanted to get a feel for the place and the regulars…anyway…I like this place

What Listening Mode is Best For The TN1 restore?

^yes

I remember the FIRST time I saw Star Wars…at a drive-in theater. Hard to fathom for you youngsters that we would just hang a single speaker on your drivers or passenger window and watch the movie but that’s how it was back then. That was pretty much the norm back then. Strange to think that 16mm prints are harder to find, but I guess that is because they were beat up pretty badly and projectors/operators were not really good. I remember lots of times where a film would break or stop/melt during the show. God I’m old…kill me now…

I would say that my only things to pick with what I’ve seen of Legacy are as follows:

  1. The grain reduction. I prefer 35mm grain over the negative, and even when he’s using 35mm prints, he’s reducing the grain to achieve a near negative medium.

  2. The opening crawl. After I saw the crawl preview on his vimeo, I just thought, Why would you do that? I mean, the crawl losing detail as it goes further up the frame is the natural fade into black. He even said that he doesn’t want to change anything internally, and I would say that is doing exactly that.

Other than these nitpicks, I am really liking how the previews look, aside from the color grading of course, and I am looking forward to more news.

…as for #2…reread the forum thread about the fade, Mike already said it would be reintroduced on final. Remember that the vimeo vids are part of the WIP…not representative of the final…
