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.

Many people would kill for a 30-minute commute.

What are you going to do with yourself while the money runs out?

I’ve never seen it.

Try it next time you can’t sleep. Hollywood’s Benadryl.

Godfather and Part 2 are two of my favorites.

When I watched Citizen Kane, I was awakened by the sounds of the snores of the other four people watching with me.

Landshark

And earlier lots of Bud and Bud Light. Not smart in this heat.

What we need is a thread devoted to useless, obnoxious, exploding fire bombs that look the same every year no matter how hard you try.

I think vinyl sounds better but I don’t think it’s because of lossy vs lossless, I just think the medium inherently sounds better. It might even be LESS accurate, but it has more “pop” to it. The drums seem to kick harder, the guitars sound sharper, orchestra instruments have more fine detail, etc.

Now that’s music

I hate bulshit. I can tell when you’re lying or insincere. Just be upfront and tell me. I’m an adult, I can take it. I’d have more respect for you in the end.

I, um, apologize. I simply meant it largely as a joke.

Lol. Go enjoy your hi-fi vinyl you jackass

😉

I realized something like this would happen a few moments after I clicked submit. Why are some people so effing weird?

Huh…

That’s an odd confluence of affinities.

Ok, my friend doesn’t like you, and

I hope you’ve enjoyed your arm, jerk. 😉

I get the joke, but it’s in questionable taste to show Carrie looking like that.

It almost looks like a cover for Frink’s future edit.

Especially considering Mark is depicted as some jacked up beef monster.

Finally had a chance to listen to the whole album, having only previously heard the hit single “What Do All the People Know?” And holy cow, it’s fantastic! Shame it’s been out of print for more than 30 years. They deserve more fame.

I’d rather have some cooking oil or soy sauce or something to actually help with the rice.

What about rice pudding?

Or you can just admit that you can’t tell the difference between lossy and lossless audio and get on with your life.

That doesn’t actually read much differently out of context as in, lol
