This Thread Is Currently About...Bingo and/or Wings!!!
Time

I sense a kind of NSFW test in there... Well, let me tell that I use to find a lot of images through this thread quite unhealthy: the photo montages may be sometime fun or convenient to express an idea, but they are in the same time awful and somehow a regretable way to forge our culture. The worst being the addiction to that, and I'm not excluded.

Anyway, "to not want" maybe my best answer, as it is often the best way in life to "obtain".

In the wait to see the thread open again I suggest...

The thread is now about... "Poetry"!!! whatever it is in men, women, arts, animals, sciences, landscapes etc... , as long as it is suggesting more than vulgarly showing. Yeah, that's gonna be tough.

And for the occasion I'll unignore Frink until the topic change. Oh, and whatever !

And VFP, it looks that the photo you posted works for me.

Now let's see what Olie has in his belly !...

Thank you!!! I really wanted to make it more about the imagery of the classic trilogy. I didn't want one hint of special edition on these covers. It is really a mixture of Star Wars collections I have owned over the years.

If I had to make the same for myself I would add the credits. I like a few typo. Well what I mostly like are the complete posters with all the text, minus "the star wars saga continues" or other teasing promo sentences.

Also, beware I noticed a trace of bearnaise on the ANH cover.

He owes me his delicious raisins.

 ... Who ?

 Ah ? I wouldn't have suspected for this one sincerely. It was more meant to be a wink to my NSFW tendencies, not a real one. Sorry to give you work.

I would have preferred SFI: "Stupid Fantasy Image", as it is.

Are all Frank Frazetta's bimbos potentially NSFW too ?

Yes, I'd say "of course"... They are from the same series of transfer made in 1993. And I think you're right to point the desintegrating tapes, it always made me think about this part of the score.

But be sure I know word by word what you report here. I'm currently working on it.

... But very nice covers btw.

I think those would work great as inserts. Thanks for the pictures, and the compliment.

 I was a little in a hurry, what I meant - "nice" beeing quite unsignificant and not that much a compliment - is that they are surely the best SW DVD covers I've seen on this site: simple, efficient, beautiful.

Now I wondered if the big Star Wars logo of the main case wouldn't deserve to be lowered just a bit (position), and also wondered if the colors on the back are a good addition: I would keep the ships B&W, and perhaps keep the color only for the lasers.

Also, beware I noticed a trace of bearnaise on the ANH cover.

Btw, there's an obvious time alignement issue in "Deal With The Dark Lord". Don't know if it comes from a 4-track tape transfer, a 8-track tape transfer or else.

Sorry, I don't fully understand what you mean by that, do you mean it is out of sync?

Yes, Some instruments are out of sync, for sure. Or all the track.

as I recall "Deal With The Dark Lord" was one of the filmmixes from the two-track tapes.

You mean 35mm stem ? Because as per coincidence, "The Rebels Escape" is also a 35mm filmmix, and what I clumsy call a frequency correction in the remixing details is rather to be called a time alignement rectification, as I did it. I guess "Lando and Han" and "Betrayal" are filmmixes too, and I suspect "Captives" to be so.

Luckily the Synch issue would be from since they transfered the 2-track. But if it comes from the 8 or 24 track tapes remixing, there's no way to have this better. I think checking the film will tell if it has been better, if the music is not too low.

... Or is it a problem in the recording ? "Lando's Palace" from the Anthology looks to have the same issues too, or anyway sounds corrupted mostly in the first part  and it has quite the same opacity on the LP's, and still a bit the same thing on the SE... Don't tell me this track has ever sounded neat. just lift the highs and you'll see, notably all the highest instruments like flutes sound distorted, but "Deal with the Dark Lord" is the worst for that.

Yeah, I think there has been problems to synch the tapes here, and it occurs ostensibly from "Lando's Palace" to "Deal with the Dark Lord", what is still more noticeable in my edits I think, as I try to avoid hiding such lacks.

Perhaps the problem is of another nature, anyway I won't do anything that I'm not certain it improves the track. But if corrupting a corrupted track makes it better,... I may think twice.

Here is an alien in a superhero film, shouting, "OPEN FIRE!"

 

 Believe me or not, I was searching a Flash Gordon image related to that... Incredible ! Old memory of my Queen mini LP a looooooooooooooooong time ago.

This is really a site for old nostalgic ones in the end.

 

Cookie Monster, you can overpass the rules as far as you assume your... destiny. Just so you know, there has been weeks since the last time I read a post from the yellow cheesy freak, and God, what a rest! But I like this thread and the guys who post in.

Now, you see he'll cry again because the images I post are too hot ! How is that possible ?
