Maybe it's because of a difference in perception of provinces (Canada) as opposed to states (U.S. and Mexico)? I dunno.

No, it's gotta be something different than that. There are two types of standard VHS packaging of individual movies, the sleeves where tapes slide out the bottom and the clamshell packages that most Disney VHS came in. To call this widescreen release special by calling it "slipcase" has gotta mean something else related to how all three films come packaged together and I'm wondering if this is the name used for the flat widescreen box that my Faces edition VHS widescreen THX remasters come in. If not, then there is a release of ANH/ESB/ROTJ that is missed on this list.

Not that I know for sure, but I would assume one big country. We see Mexico as one big country on our maps despite them actually being divided into states.

Yep, Avid is an entire editing suite using, usually, a bunch of Macs wired together.

I hate to admit this Switch, but I forgot about ya. Don't hate me. It's been a while and even I don't post as much anymore.

What does that mean about the "letterboxed version only available in slipcase box set"? What is a slipcase box?

What makes it even cooler is that most magazines come out three weeks before their month of publication. So this will be out about a week or so before the movies are released on DVD. I know Jay says the end of September, but ideally it will be out in time to inform at least some segment of the population and get them to reconsider. Fingers are crossed.

Well that would explain why his costumes kicked such ass in Bounty Trail. He had access to the wardrobe department.

That would be one other person considering there have only been two other directors and one is dead.

Here's hoping that just before the release of the film, George doesn't balk at the use of the word "Revenge" in the title like he did with "Revenge of the Jedi" in 1983.

Not a bad title. He could've done much worse. But I'm still a fan of Fall of the Jedi.

I have no idea how far either X-Men or Spider-Man will go.

And, yes, I agree with you. The Goblin's costume was my #1 sticking point with the first movie. Another reason why I like the second so much better, the villain looks like the villain I remember. Alfred Molina was great in that movie.

Just watched Bounty Trail, Rikter. And it is good. However, I hate the narrator's voice at the beginning and end of the comic book. Annoyed the piss out of me. But I did like the melding of live action and comic art. It was very well done.

Well, that's all explained by this whole thing happening from a genetically enhanced spider. Doesn't bother me so much because it was part of the story line from the Spider-Man 2099 comics.

Also, I agree with Sam Raimi that how can some jag kid from a rundown neighborhood in NYC actually have the smarts enough to build web slingers and scientists with all the funding in the world can't do it? I agree that it's a huge stretch. Yes, it's tampering with the Spidey mythos, but you have to in movies. There's so much history to Spidey that just cannot be included. I think having to suspend disbelief over that kind of creativity in the movies would have made the first one worse to watch.

Some friends and I used to stage lightsaber fights with the light up ones (that came out about 1995) in the lounge of our dorm room floor. Of course, the lights were out in the room and it was night and there were huge picture windows so everyone in other floors could see it as well. I'm sure people said we were geeks, but deep down, they probably envied us.

That was funny, Sammy. As for the authenticity of that one photo, I, too, say it's fake and for the same reason that HotRod says it is.

I have seen Art of the Saber and it was a pretty decent film. Couldn't find it in any of those links up there, though. Do check it out if for no other reason than the fight choreography.

Chaltab, what you said came out right. We may have posted our replies incorrectly. We knew you never saw the original cuts, but our posts may have made it sound like we understood that to mean you'd never seen the OT in any version.

We still need to intervene.

My brother had the Ewok Village. I never really cared much for it. Lost even more respect when Kenner coughed up the mold again in the 90s for use with the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves toys.

I love my Falcon. However, everyone had one. The big envy factor came into play with people that had the AT-AT and the Shuttle Tyderium. God those were great. And I had neither of them.
