The ManMadeMoon Thread. (No Trolls) (No Spoilers)

Never watched Moon, what is it about? (Besides the obvious)

Don’t look too much into it, go in relatively blind.

I’ll say this:

It’s about a man stationed alone at a base on the moon for a 3-year stretch to mine helium-3 for energy on Earth. When the movie begins, he’s in the last two weeks of his 3-year contract.

Arthur Jones is a racist, denies the Holocaust happened, and will likely be the only Republican on the ballot for a Chicago-area congressional seat in November.

The state GOP has denounced Jones and his candidacy, but says it had no way to stop him.

“We’ve tried to do everything we possibly could to prevent this person from getting on the ballot,” Illinois GOP Chairman Tim Schneider said.

please tell me this guy has no chance of winning.

He hasn’t won the last five times he’s run, so I’d say chances are very low.

Moon is one of my all-time favorites. Source Code was decent, but not amazing. Haven’t seen Warcraft and don’t intend to (never got into the games at all, so it just looks like a confusing mess of lore I don’t understand to me). Looking forward to Mute.

I have no idea what Whistle is - is it a feature or a short? Student film or an indie that went under the radar?

How did you originally find this site?
Time

I was looking for fan edits of the prequels after hearing of the Phantom Edit and stumbled across this place and LD preservations of the OOT. Then I discovered the custom DVD art section, and custom DVD art was a hobby of mine already, so I spent most of my time in there, and eventually I just kinda stuck around.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for the custom art section, I might have popped in, found the edits and preservations I was looking for, and never come back.

Instead that got me to stick around, and I tumbled into the rabbit hole of fan edits and preservations, never to return…

Why do people on live streams and on fourm sites including this one ask for mod.

I don’t have any idea what this means.

I am asking why do people ask for mod

This does not clarify things.

He wants to know why some people keep asking to be moderators (even though I’ve never seen this here).

See, I had no idea if he was asking why people ask to be a mod, or why people ask for a mod, and I’m still not convinced it’s the former. Or that it’s either of those two things at all.

I got banned from the Star Wars subreddit for telling someone how to get the Despecialized editions. GG

I don’t know why I keep going back to that place.

"Daily reminder that Rouge[sic] One was a masterpiece"

“DAE think the prequels were not that bad?”

“I know the prequels are controversial, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on…”

And you have click on the thread to finish the sentence because this poster decided to take a page out of the BuzzFeed playbook, and all it says is;

“the lightsaber fights were epic.”

And every time an upcoming movie is discussed, everybody is floating these goofy fan-fiction level ideas or things that have been said a thousand times before.

“I think we can all agree that the Obi-Wan movie should be a gritty western”

Or it’s someone pointing out a detail from a movie and providing a child’s analysis of it.

“Anakin force-choking Padme is subtle foreshadowing of the revelation that Darth Vader is actually Anakin”

“Anakin’s shadow right before he leaves to find his mother is a visual callback to the Darth Vader helmet. It’s so dense, every single frame has so much going on”

Ugh, this is so fucking accurate.

1997 Special Edition Audio Mixes, GOUT-Synced (Released)

I’m super glad you’re doing this, as it was something I myself wanted to do! Sounds like you’re taking great care to make it as “authentic” as possible.

If you want DTS encodes of these when you’re done like I did for your PT V5, let me know, I’ve got that whole process much more streamlined now. (Not sure that DTS-HD MA would be worthwhile as theatrical DTS is lower bitrate than standard DTS, correct?)

Sorry, but being banned for the above is not fair.

I’m not trolling. I’m not trying to “wind people up”. I’m just posting about star wars.

The only thing I’ve done is posted my reactions after watching this movie. I was critical of the movie, yes. But my take is very in line with what many other people in this forum are posting.

Forum rules:

http://originaltrilogy.com/announcement/Updated-OTcom-Forum-Rules-and-Guidelines-Applies-to-all-forums-including-Off-Topic/id/52717

Breaking any of these rules will result in a warning, followed by any number of temporary bans at any arbitrary length as determined by the moderators. Excessive rule-breaking will eventually result in a permanent ban.

I received no warnings of any kind, either privately or via posts in this topic.

I also received no temporary ban. Just an unexpected ban after I posted a critical take of the movie.

I had no idea I was in danger of being banned.

Breaking the following rules may result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning: [harassment, personal attacks, slurs, socks]

I did absolutely nothing to harass members, or personal attacks, or slurs.

I only opened a second account so I could post about a star wars movie. I would have used my main account, had it not been banned. If I had any way to contest the ban, or come back after a temporary ban, I would have just done that rather than create a new account. This is not “sock puppetry”.

Again, I’m not trolling. I’m just posting my thoughts after watching a movie.

I would like to keep doing that occasionally, without immediately being banned. My posts above are not deserving of a ban.

If there is some particular thing I have said that is worthy of a ban on these forums, please let me know via a warning or a temporary ban. I’ll adjust accordingly as I quite like this thread and reading the takes of other poster. I’d ask that my first avatar KILLOFFPOE please be unbanned.

You were banned for making a sock account to get around being temp banned on your “first avatar,” as you called it.

Making a second sock? You’re just asking to be permabanned. Sock accounts are not allowed, whether it’s to skirt a ban or not.

And yes, making a new account to post after your main account is banned is 100% sock puppetry. You could have emailed one of the mods or Jay to hash this out instead of digging yourself a deeper hole.
