Ranking the Terminator films (or: The Terminator or Judgment Day)
Time

Sorry can’t resist posting here.

  1. The Terminator five balls (perfect low budget film with a perfect ending).
  2. Terminator Salvation 2 Balls. Anton Yelchin is brilliant as Reese and if the film hadn’t been panic edited at the last minute it might have been okay and even worthy of an extra ball.
  3. Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines 1 Ball, Lots of silliness which when removed leaves a short movie but it at least restores the bleak ending of the original film.
  4. Terminator 2 Judgement Day. half a ball. Has some good innovative special effects but is an otherwise pointless movie that undermines the original film in every way. The slow monologues, the cheesy humour, the WTF ending. The extended version is a bit better but the theatrical film has no reason to exist just like all the sequels really.

Not seen the most recent film, I really can’t be bothered anymore.

Rather liked the Sarah Connor Chronicles and would place it somewhere in the 3.5 balls mark.

Intro sequence to neon noir fan edit of the prequel trilogy
Time

Forgive the Bumpage I was hoping to show this to someone by Monday.
++JEDIT++ YouTube’s now showing this again, not sure what happened but nice to be able to direct people to it again.
++REJEDIT++ what seems to have happened here is a partial take down. The Flash version is still up but the HTML5 version of the clip and the full edit are down… Weird.

Just in case it hasn’t been mentioned… any Editors could remove from the end credits the mention of the UK Chancellor - George Osbourne - from the film. Someone who cuts the benefits for the sick, disabled and mentally ill, cuts the NHS and other emergency services, cuts the HRMC (tax service) so it’s no longer fit to collect taxes or challenge big business avoiding paying their fair share, whilst the rest of us in the UK face even more cuts doesn’t really deserve to be in the film credits - even if he did give tax breaks to Disney.

Rant over. Sorry.

Revenge Of The Cut - Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith (* unfinished project *)
Time

Everyone was. Other than isolated clips this and this similarly anticipated edit : http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/SW-Episode-III-Reign-of-the-Dark-Side/id/11343 never was posted as even a rough cut… just really interesting clips.

The Cutter did a re-edit of the TFA trailer with original John Williams music relatively recently so he is still around bob helped Frink out with some effects shots on his Ricdiculous edits. Not heard much from him recently.

Never heard anything about edits Angel/Vaderios was reportedly working on either.

Shame really.

All really talented guys, great ideas.

[fill in the blank] Just Died!
Time

1994 was a crappy year for me. My father had just died of cancer. My nephew died after a few days of life. I had a bit of a mental breakdown and dropped out of university and fell out with close friends.
Around that time I discovered a couple of movies made a few years before starring Alan Rickman.
One was Truly, Madly Deeply (1991) which really helped me through the grieving process and the other was Closet Land (1991) which was a truly horrific depiction of torture with hardly any gore at all which really informed my politics and helped me get my mojo back. Thanks for that Mr Rickman. I wonder how much closer to solutions to these horrid diseases if we stopped blowing each other up.

What didn't you like about TFA? <em>SPOILERS</em>
Time

I explained earlier that getting around the Death Star wouldn’t be that restrictive.
If you could take away the obvious barriers to making one (the ones they ignored in the very silly Total Recall remake) a gravity train would go pole to pole through the Earth in about 40mins.
The Death Star has lots of elevators and lifts which could act in the same way, it’s not the size of the Earth and it exists in a universe where artificial gravity is cheap enough for smugglers to have.
The same would probably be true of the base.

Maybe Starkiller base could be a Republic weapon that has been seised by the forces of the First Order and Leia knows what it’s capable of and maybe a bit ashamed.
Most of that would have to be established in the opening crawl though.
It would explain why the Resistance know exactly how it works without having to go through the secret data tapes stuff.

&quot;Star Wars Fans Petition For George Lucas To Come Back And Direct Episode IX&quot; Discussion
Time

I would be interested in seeing him do one of the spin offs.
Particularly if he could do it under an assumed name.
You could announce his directing of one of them but his was actually directing a different one, just to see if audiences could sense his presence so to speak.
It would be an experience to see how he would direct a Star Wars film he had no script input in.

But that’s just not going to happen is it?
