Everything is spotless all around. So it pains me to even mention the one thing. When Yoda says to Luke, “Judge be by my size, do you?” His eyes turn towards Luke now and its a little off putting,
That was the very bit I loved that loved and mentioned in my previous post.
I haven’t even seen it and I already know that’s a dumb rating because Mala.
It was bad but it wasn’t that bad and nowhere near as bad as AVP:Requiem which is a crime against culture.
I had lots of trouble playing this (nothing to do with the file itself just my equipment falling to bits) so it was a bit frustrating and probably not the most optimal viewing experience.
However. Wow!
It felt very familiar and yet fresh.
At no point did I feel that any of the changes were things the technical wizards of the day wouldn’t have done if they had the time and the kit.
Yoda felt as much an actor performance as Sir Alec in the first one. There is a moment when he looks at Luke which is utterly sublime.
Those scout walkers are characters in their own right. Moving like stop motion but able to convey worry, nervousness etc in all the ways the battle droids of the prequels did not.
I will need to see this again many times to register some of the changes which took months (maybe years) to plan build and film. The hanger matte replacement, my biggest gripe about the original version was that hanger matte, made worse by the contrast and tinting of future versions, was over in seconds but looked much better. The Han in Carbonite and Wampa changes are almost subliminal at times and yet give the film increased tangibility.
It’s an astonishing achievement to make these sorts of improvements to an already classic and timeless movie.
I can’t wait to see what you do with the increasingly less classic third sequel and prequels as they are the films that really need rescuing.
I want to say Hi to SSWR.
It’s going to be The Empire Strikes Back Ady style with Jonno’s support feature reconstruction. WUP! WUP!
I’ve been looking for my next ps3 game to play and as I have all tree of these and it showed up on these pages I have my choice made.
Computer locked getting a signal.
Going to watch Jonno’s UK cinema intro first if I can get my malfunctioning set up to work.
Entropy is bitch.
Don’t you read the Bible? This one passage in Leviticus tells me that listening to rock and/or rap music is a sin.
That’s the Pet Shop Boys.
Oh…it’s beautiful!
Marion, don’t look at it, keep your eyes shut!
Has anyone suggested changing Luke’s outfit in the final scene to a backless hospital gown?
^THIS!
I think Trump should pelt North Korea with Golf Courses.
It’s the only way to be sure.
Downloading one atom at a time. I will watch this somehow. Everyone seems to have much better broadband than me 😄
Got it! Watching tonight.
Crikey that was quick.
“You gotta be fuckin’ kidding”
When will it be finished?
Had a dream where myself and a friend of mine were ensigns on the Enterprise-D and discovered that Worf was trying to kidnap gay people and send them to the Klingon Empire for some reason. There’s more to it, but I’m not sure to to explain the rest.
Humpback gays?
I just contaminated Ady’s thread with this image :
It made me thing of Padme giving birth and the sound of one of these things

" It’s yours to squeeze! And squeeze! Give me spice!"
In my dream, a small Borg scout ship was attacking a beachside town. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all showed up to defeat it, but they didn’t know what to do. They didn’t want to kill them, but they also didn’t want to get assimilated. Someone had the idea of introducing the Borg to Philip K. Dick, so they did that. The Borg suddenly became so pleased that they gave Superman the trunks he’s been missing since 2011.
Best anything ever.
Am I male or female?
Yes… sometimes.
Is tonic water supposed to taste like bitter Sprite?
The bitterness comes from quinine which was a malaria treatment which is why the fizzy water is called tonic water. During the years of White Mischief the flavour of gin and IT became desired irregardless of its medicinal properties.
There will never not be a day I resent Moffat for not making McGann the War Doctor.
That could have worked as it would have been a sublime contrast to have the optimistic romantic 8th Doctor turn into a hardened and broken pessimist who is renewed as the guilt stricken but jolly 9th.
Alternatively I would have made the War Doctor a warrior woman (like Leela or Xena) and be very violent.
That way you would have got the whole Doctor can’t turn female thing out of the way and made the War Doctor something he would rather regret. Not because of the gender but because of the violence. Hurt’s War Doctor is just another Doctor. He’s much less prickly than some of the classic ones. There seems very little justification in him removing him from his own memory.
I think it’s when your religion tells you to give alcohol to your baby.
