I am done with this.

Given the context of the thread: does this mean you're leaving?

HOLY FUCK IS THIS GOING TO TURN INTO ANOTHER 3 PAGE DEBATE ABOUT RELIGION/FAITH IN A NON-RELIGION THREAD?

It's the trend of all off-topic threads. We need TV's Frink around as an unofficially-official off-topic moderator to keep things sane.

Where you at, Frink?

Warbler said:

My faith, like that of many other religious people, is not about scientific evidence.

I'm aware of that, so I was trying to help you understand where Frink was coming from.

One thing I have always found unfortunate about religion is the way most everyone believes their version of "the truth" is the correct version.

 well naturally, If I believe X, I am going to believe X is the truth.   If I didn't believe it X was the truth, how can I say I believe X?

It's a style of thinking that very religious people—through no fault of their own—may not be accustomed to operating under.

People such as my self tend to believe that everything (with the sole exception of proofs in pure Mathematics) is falsifiable.

All of my beliefs (again, giving exception to proofs in pure Mathematics) are therefore subject to change given a sufficient body of scientific evidence.

My head is filled with probablys and maybes and is subject to change at any time.

* It's worthwhile to note that I'm a Tooth Fairy Agnostic, so I really do go all-the-way with this.

I hope it's not.

Be more positive.

How's being interpositive? :o)

What's wrong with it being from the negatives?

I fear that with the rumors of it being permanently altered the probability of Disney accidentally leaving something in is non-zero. The chance of this is zero if an internegative, interpositive, or even a release print is used.

Someone on Reddit expressed his hope that this character name is not some reference to another JJ Abrams film or show. I heartily echo that sentiment.

LOr San Tekka

 Isn't that kind of a stretch?

(I mean, if LST meant something I might believe it, but this might as well have been LOSATE, or RNA.)

I see no necrobumping there.

So that's what Adywan looks like?

Ha! It reminds me more of this creepy-as-hell toy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo:_Man_of_a_Thousand_Faces

Please do, schorman13!!!

Thanks to everyone who has offered to donate so far! I have you noted down and will reach back out to you once we hit our goal and everything is finalized.

We're at approximately 6 pledged of the 11 HDDs needed.

We need eleven 5TB HDDs in order to have a backup as well as a way to distribute things US-side to people working on the restoration.

I don't have the money right now.

If we don't get these HDDs, then anyone interested in working on the restoration will have to coordinate with poita to send their HDDs to him and I don't think this is something he's interested in doing. Plus, we need a backup and can't risk having just a single point of failure.

The cheapest 5TB HDDs available at the moment are ~$130. This means we need to raise $1,430 in order to make this happen.

PM me if you're interested in helping. No donations will be accepted until the goal is reached. Thanks!

I can't find the pic right now, but this guy mentions it in the text at the bottom of his post. http://originaltrilogy.com/FORUM/topic.cfm/TPM-1080p-Theatrical-Preservation/post/781029/#TopicPost781029

JEDIT: Here we go: https://plus.google.com/photos/+DrewStewart/albums/5528361230751063825/5529747127146857570?pid=5529747127146857570&oid=102542760950977079734

Talk about sloppy work... :o/

Isn't there also a part in RotJ where you can see the original Sy Snootles puppet just before the Jedi Rocks CGI crapfest?

As expected, I like the JSC colors the most.

kk650: ESB came after they stopped making IB Technicolor prints and before Kodak started making LPP prints. Basically, all ESB prints are on shitty likely-to-fade film stocks.

So we have IB Technicolor for SW and LPP for RotJ. ESB was made in the transition period with no stable fade-free options available.

We volunteer to make fun of you if you let the rest of your team post from your account.

Team Olie

Nah, it'll be Team Blu style, but I do plan to name the team Team i².

Can't we all just get along?

I'm putting together a team to work on restoring these scans.

I need at the very minimum:

  1. A colorist

  2. Two dirt cleaners

  3. An artist to fix really bad (e.g., big scratches) damage, just in case

  4. A QA person with deep knowledge about the film

Volunteering will obviously get you early access to the scans, but you must have the skills, free time, and equipment necessary to do the work.

I plan on wearing a few different hats. Send me a PM if you're interested.

"What was incredible from my point of view was how apparently easily they flipped back into these roles," says Abrams. "I knew for a fact, for example, that Harrison Ford was going to be in this movie, but I couldn't be certain that Han Solo would be. Meaning, I hadn't seen Han Solo return after nearly 40 years, either. And it wasn't until we got on set that I got my answer. It was a remarkable thing to see how effortlessly Harrison Ford became Han Solo again."

Feallan said:

Is the ESB frame color corrected?

No, this was just a very quick correction to determine if the print is too red faded. I think it looks fantastic.

Poita I honestly don't know what that is. Deleted scene from SW??
