It's definitely not for O-OT purists, but it was fun to put together. The music is unquestionably Star Wars, which is debatable both in the case of "Yub Nub" and "Yanni Goes To Coruscant."
When is the RIAA going to wise up and realize they're destroying their own industry.
On a tangent, do you realize how long it takes artists to legitimately license a song? There are so many hoops an artist has to jump through to give a songwriter their fair share, and let's face it, most musicians don't have a head for business. Some do, many don't. Especially the ones that succeed.
So why must the labels and their lawyers make it extra hard for those who want to do things the right way to get paid?
And back on the topic of the article, is it indicative of just how bad things in the recording industry are? Now that they've shut down Napster they have to go after sites who reprint lyrics without permission (or more to the point without paying royalties)? And do they really need to nail people for sharing guitar tab? It seems they actually do not want to inspire musicians to learn their music. It makes it easier to groom talentless crap bands like they've done for the past 8 years.
The studio that produced the film was Lucasfilm. 20th Century Fox was little more than the distributor.
Back on topic: Does anybody feel the films of 05 were VASTLY superior to 04? Last year was horrendous. This year was a bit better than average in terms of movie quality. Not 1994, but certainly not 2004 either.
I had a line in the first draft of my Ep III reedit that said "Sith Lords will not share your compassion. If you let it, it will destroy you, as it almost did me." I ended up not using it and re-assembling those lines differently, but I did like how that line essentially boiled down what was in the script using Liam's existing dialogue. The notion being that his compassion is what led to his death, but is also what led him into eternal life.
I could probably scrounge it up if it suits your purpose. I think I kept all my rough drafts.
Some Spleeners are talking about skips in Ep III. Is anybody on here who has obtained Ep III off the Spleen having skipping probs? If so, can you provide details? I'm quick to assume it's user error, but if the problem is universal I'd like to know.
And that is one Constitutional amendment that will NEVER get through. I give my fellow citizens a lot of credit here. Whether or not Ahnuld would be a good president is irrelevant. There is no way 2/3 of all states would ratify to allow naturalized citizens the Big Chair. California, New York and maybe Mass. and Oregon would go for that. Nobody else. Not even liberal ol' New Hampshire. They're too proud of the electoral process as it stands.
In a twisted way, I do. Partially because I think they shortchanged the storyline by dropping Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man 1 (James Cameron's draft had her original storyline intact) and partially because I think Kirsten phoned in her performance in Spider-Man 2. I thought she was pretty dang good in the first movie, but two years of partying or something had clearly taken their toll by the second film. She didn't look as good, she didn't act as good, and in the end, I felt myself wondering why Peter bothered with her.
And I'm not supposed to be feeling that way towards her character.
I've had this one in the back of my mind for some time. I think all the deleted scenes are in the supplement, aren't they? The TV edit and previous VHS release was the extended cut and it's to die for.
I was aware of Shaak-Ti's presence later in the film and almost didn't include it because of that. But I could barely make out the back of her head in the hologram and decided that it wasn't "clear" enough that it had to be her.
I still wish her other death had been provided in the supplements. THAT is something I wish we could see.
Cashiers, PM me with any questions. I'm more than happy to answer.
I don't think the desire is created by Fan Editors though. I could be gravely mistaken, but I get the feeling Greencapt isn't planning on a fan edit of Batman Begins. De-Assified grew out of the need to make a horrendous film watchable. Partly out of the "can I do this" and partly out of the "mankind deserves better after the torture of the official release.
Greencapt, am I putting words in your mouth, or is this fairly legit?
2. They will supposedly be on the "final" box set of all six in 2007.
Has this ever actually been said on record by anybody at Lucasfilm, or is this the kind of speculation everybody is accepting as fact? Like "Fall of the Republic" as the title of Episode III.
