I’m pretty sure it’s Cannon that Luuuke Skywalker will.

He didn’t use the New Thread Thread… probably.

My first movie seen in the cinema was :

It came out in 1974 but I get the feeling that I must have seen a reissue in 1976 as Star Wars was my second film.
My uncle Ray’s girlfriend Rose took me and we came in half way through and watched the beginning after the end.
I was a bit dissappointed because somehow I got it into my head that Cinema was like television but on all four walls.
I had a red apple which was given to me on the bus there rather than any cinema bought snacks.

The Doctor Who one looks smaller on the inside : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0qpASAtCA
The Superman II one is the one most familiar to me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKDFop0aqYQ

Do we have an existing “First Movie Seen” thread?

Yes because he is a pretty accurate representation of the character at that time in the comics.

The 60’s Batman was a great show. I watched the reruns on TV when I was younger. I still like it, that I bought the Complete Series BluRay collection that comes with the Hotwheels Batmobile.

I wish someone would do a version of Superman where the title character is a complete dick to Jimmy Olsen and drives him to do some pretty bizarre things. It would be more fun than the current movies.

I’ve never read any of the classic Superman comics. I don’t like the current Superman, Batman, DC Universe movies. Man of Steel was ok, but waaaay too long. I slept through Batman V Superman. I have no interest in seeing Suicide Squad. I may check out the Wonderwoman movie, but even that ehh…

Did you like Christopher Reeves as Superman and any of those movies?

I love those movies especially the fourth one 😄

I might have to get a brand new PS3 if such a thing is still around.

Don’t know your location,

Scotland.

Just had a look at new PS3 prices on Amazon UK. Yikes.

Yeah Yikes indeed.
My goal is to collect games cheaply but they certainly don’t make consoles to last anymore. I’ll try taking it back again tomorrow after work.

Alien Isolation works but The Last of Us doesn’t. Aliens Colonic Marines (blagh) works but Little Big Planet doesn’t. Bioshock 1 and 2 don’t work but Bioshock Infinite does.
Uncharted 1 and 2 work Uncharted 3 doesn’t???

The firmware is up to date, the regions are correct. It’s apparantly a known issue, particularly with certain games (The Last of Us being the most notorious) https://goo.gl/sUzin5

I had fun with some games yesterday but I don’t want to get too comfortable knowing I will have to take this particular console back again.

I might have to get a brand new PS3 if such a thing is still around. Replacing the blue ray unit is beyond my techical skill set.

On Monday I thought I’d treat myself to a PS3. MISTAKE
I got the console with a fair wack of memory and quite a few games and plugged it in.
More than half the games didn’t work.
I thought that if it were some of the disks it could just be bad disks but more than half sounds like laser problems so I took it back and the guy was very apologetic and replaced it with another console. I took it home and the same games didn’t work so clearly it’s a disk problem after all so I took the disks in. They all got replaced and I took the alternate versions home and put them in the alternate console. Still didn’t work.
I reformated the hard drive, tried tilting the console. Nothing works. The same games don’t work on different disks in different consoles. I really wish I got a Wii U now.

Why can’t you do that in here?

It’s not as much fun. Rubbish threads are like old cardboard boxes. You can bin them or you can turn them into giant robots that conquer the universe. This is a good thread with humpbacks.

I wish the original thread was left open as was going to discuss the difficulty of gauging the sound of things in outer space.

I finally got myself a PS3.
I intend to eventually get a Wii U and that will be me sorted out for a few years.

Does anyone have any idea on how Adywan and his team will treat the “a lightsaber… a Jedi weapon” dialogue phrase for the Prequels? Is there any way Palpatine will not use a lightsaber but only the Force in his duel against Mace Windu?

Maybe he will steal one from a Jedi, use it for a bit for giggles and throw it out the windu.

Out the windu? LOL! Was that a typo? Hehe. 😄

Throw it out the windu with windu.

Sadly not accidental.

I’m sure Burton thought he was being clever casting Keaton but Batman is a tall intimidating character. Keaton is an average build comic actor who at no point feels like Batman.
He is okay as Bruce but that suit only underlined how inappropriate he is in the role with it’s thick unmoveable rubber neck and the stupid biker gloves. The script is awful too.

True, it was bad that the suit had no neck movement. Atleast Burton’s Batman suits didn’t have “Bat Nipples”.
Maybe it’s the nostalgia, but I liked Keaton as Batman. If Keaton’s not your cup of tea, then to each his own.

Do you like Adam West’s version of Batman?

Yes because he is a pretty accurate representation of the character at that time in the comics. I wish someone would do a version of Superman where the title character is a complete dick to Jimmy Olsen and drives him to do some pretty bizarre things. It would be more fun than the current movies.

I love them too.
Particularly the Rathbone films as I had read the short stories when I was realy little. The shift to the wartime setting was a bit confusing.

Hello again I am 1chan, eldest of my father’s four sons.
As I said earlier, unlike my youngest brother I do not approve of the plethora of memes, photoshop fueled visual puns and puerile humour polluting the internet.

I ask again, please keep your posts reasonable in my presence from now on.

You just do not understand! Western society do to Mogwai what it has done to all of nature’s gifts.

I didn’t realize you were a fan of Charlie Chan.

As a child the BBC used to show everything, Silent comedy greats like Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd, Early serials like Flash Gordon, King of the Rocketmen and Buck Rogers and Charlie Chan, Rathbone Sherlock Holmes, The RKO Saint series, Weissmuller’s Tarzan, Champion the Wonder Horse etc all in marvelous monochrome.

I would have no problem paying for a television license for that sort of material.
They are of their time but Chan in those serials is taken as seriesly as Holmes is in his. His ethnicity is on display but doesn’t impact the integrity of the character. Quite progressive in it’s way.
The pace is slow for modern audiences but I would like a revival of the character as a period piece.

Wow that was fast.

As much as I’m going to get punished for this I would really like to see an edit where Grevious is replaced with Darth Jar Jar just to see what it’s like.

As a serious plot point or for irony? Maybe if both were dubbed by a new voice it could be a good twist.

Either as an extension of the existing apparent Stepin Fetchit buffoon character or as the conclusion of the arc of an altered character. I just want to see how this fan theory would look as an edit.

I’ll probably calm down and back off the booze soon anyway. I’ve gone back and forth a few times anyway.

That doesn’t need to cost anything.
It would be dangerous for you to immediately give up but keeping a record of your consumption and carefully reducing the trend of consumption (you will have bad days where you will drink more but if you can get the direction to point away from drinking you will make progress).

Why would it be dangerous for him to immediately give up the booze? You sound like you are talking about more than just the odds of failure of successfully going cold turkey.

Some people don’t like AA, some of it’s methods are a bit cultish to be honest but it can be a good way of getting support from other people.

I didn’t know that it was cultish. I do know it helped someone I know.

As I said before no two people are identicle but resigning yourself to being soon dead is unfair on the guy you may be in the future.

I agree with Bingo here. When Bingo and I agree on something, you know there must be some truth to it.

If being dead was a goal in life I doubt you would bother to tell people about it much. You sound more like you want to live without the reliance on the liquid holiday a glass can give.
Am I wrong?

I don’t know think you are.

Going cold turkey on booze can be lethal.
It’s best to slowly reduce the trend until the habit is broken and always with medical consultation and monitoring.
And yes while some people find AA to be helpful for others there are cultish elements so it’s not for everyone but other options are out there.

Fake Noooooooooooooooooooooooooos!

The Keaton one is crap too.

But, he is, Batman! Come on, Billie Dee “Lando” Williams, was in the first Keaton movie.
Sure it was a small role, but it was a great addition.

Most areas have something like a buddying system for people in recovery to monitor each other as for some people a group is not good fit.
