If I were Frink’s sock I’d probably have a better username.

Never mind.

No. I refuse to let this drop.

My parents had an irrational fear of mad cow during that “outbreak” about 10-15 years ago. Probably saved them hours by not saying “disease” every time. It stuck I guess.

Nightcrawler. Good. Jake Glyhandlaler looks old.

I found him very off-putting. But I guess that was the point.

it was a response to Dahmage eating brains. Something I can’t get myself to do. It’s not even the mad cow potential. It’s just gross. And I’m an adventurous eater.

get checked for mad cow

So like an angry one?

I guess if I had mad cow I’d be pretty angry. I’m not sure cows are capable of such emotional responses, especially if they have mad cow disease.

I need to see that. No idea how to get tickets for it, though.

Here, hope this helps: https://www.2001spaceodysseymovie.com/tickets/

Thanks!

I didn’t buy tickets until an hour before the show. Expected a nearly empty theater (a 50 year-old movie that’d been playing for a week). Was shocked, but impressed, to find a nearly-full theater by curtain up. (yes, real curtains that slowly opened as the musical intro ended! Repeated after intermission)

So plan ahead to be safe

oh good, then we can safely say how ugly it is.

Oh it’s an EU thing.

Don’t care.

I would put this in my cig

2001: A Space Odyssey, 70mm projection.

Holy s**t. I’ve shared my thoughts on the film in this thread before. And the presentation—incredible. The texture, the subtle flicker, the wobbly location cards. All so beautiful. I even enjoy seeing the black cue marks.

Only issue with the presentation was a few persistent vertical hair lines on the last few reels. But I guess imperfections like that are the trade-off. And it’s totally worth it.

I do all my work on a 2015 MacBook Pro.

I wish I had one of those. I have a 2012 15", last model with the optical drive. Have loved it, but has been acting out lately. I don’t want one of those P.O.S. low-travel keyboards or to pay for the gimmick bar, though. Hopefully it can make it until the next-gen model is released, whenever that may finally be.

I want more Artoo and Threepio in IX!

Edit: like, maybe less lizard maid humor and more droid banter.

I can’t stop thinking about her. I’m losing sleep, but I can’t do anything about it because she’s out of town for awhile. I guess I’ll just be an insomniac until I can let her know how I feel.

We’re having lunch tomorrow. I’m terrified. I’m like a fish out of water in these situations.

Because talking here about topics that have their own sub-forums would make the split even more pointless.

every subforum needs its own bitching thread.

and then we can have one bitching thread related to the multiple bitching threads.

Or should we just have a bitching sub forum ?

Oh it’s an EU thing.

Don’t care.

Why is that ironic?

How would recompositing the shots digitally using the same choreography negate any of the work he did? The work they show in the video–i.e., him tracing out the ships’ paths on the transparencies–would still be the work that resulted in the final choreography. Recompositing simply reduces grain levels and matte lines, making his work available in a higher-quality image.

I thought I remembered an old thread specifically to share pictures of dogs, but I went too many pages back in this sub-forum and found old wario64 threads, so I quit looking. Anyway, have these new pictures of my old dog, Tippi!

That shot’s adorable!

Harmy said:

Well, if they’re so similar I can’t tell the difference, then they might stay provided the quality actually is better.

To be honest, if all the SE had been was a digital recompositing of the original FX shots (which I’ve heard was the original intent before George got carried away), I don’t think we’d be having this conversation.

If Disney put such a product out and claimed it was the theatrical edition, I would have no qualms about it.

Star Wars: A New Hope

Saw a screening with a symphony orchestra performing the music live to the film. Obviously never going to match the actual recordings by Williams but a great experience nonetheless.

Did they decrescendo in the parts where the Special Edition sound mix drowns out the score on the DVD?

Saying goodbye sucks.

Someone told me tonight they don’t like Godfather pt 2 because the parallel plot structure is confusing. He wishes the stories had been told more “gracefully.” I want to cry.

What makes people think it’s a good idea to be naked in the gym locker room at work? Seeing people you know, especially coworkers, naked is especially uncomfortable. I really can’t wrap my mind around it.

Maybe because they’re changing? Do you work at a gym or something? I don’t know. I haven’t been in a locker room since I was about 14 so I have no idea.

Yep, changing. I don’t work at a gym. I don’t get the mindset of being comfortable being naked in front of people, especially people that you work with. At least put underwear on before leaving the shower stall…rather than standing there naked and talking to me about work while I admire the ceiling.

Put underwear on before leaving the shower???

I really don’t get this. If you can’t bear seeing peers of your own sex naked, don’t go into locker rooms.
