Wow, I remember being a cringey youngster around here, and now there’s people younger than TPM making intelligent points!
EDIT: I joined as a 13-year-old in 2003.
I’m one year older than you, but your account is one year older than mine. Huh.
(Not sure why I thought that was interesting or worth mentioning. Slow night at work I guess.)
I have Dishonored on Steam, and though I haven’t beaten it, what part I played I liked.
From the little bit I’ve had time to play, it seems like it might be a game more suited to a mouse and keyboard than a console.
I enjoyed Sausage Party for what it was up until the giant orgy at the end.
Blade Runner 2049.
I get off work at 6am, going to see it at 11am, then have to be back at work at 6pm.
I might sleep somewhere in there, but there’s no way in hell I’m missing the sequel to one of my favorite movies on opening weekend when it was made by one of my favorite contemporary directors and has been getting reviewed so well.
And to think when it was announced I was sure it would be awful and I’d just wait for it to come out on Blu-Ray…
I really need to check out the fan edit of TKJ that conforms the movie to the graphic novel. It would certainly be higher in my list than the official version.
Wait, what? I just said that all home video releases were shitty but the theatrical prints were said to be good, and you argued with me about it. But now you say you were talking about the VHS copies, which I already said were shitty. So why exactly did you feel the need to argue about it?
I tried it. It was neat, but ultimately it was more suspenseful and atmospheric without it.
There is a lot more to it than just putting the music in… you also have to put the shots in the correct order and / or add the missing shots to get the proper cues.
I dunno man, the duel music syncs almost 100% perfectly with the editing, down to the scene changes. I’m pretty sure it was pulled out of the sound mix at the last minute and as such there aren’t any editing changes necessary.
I don’t think the same can be said for many other cut music cues from ESB, though - the probe droid music definitely feels off with what’s happening on screen. But the duel music doesn’t at all.
I loved Catalyst, but holy Jesus was Heir to the Jedi a waste of dead trees.
Catalyst does suffer a bit from Luceno’s dry, overly-descriptive writing style, but that’s more down to personal preference than anything else.
I really need to stay out of this thread until I get to see it Saturday morning…
They’re available on MySpleen too IIRC.
Is the 97 really that red right there?
Jeez. And here we thought the Blu Ray colors were bad. Even the sky is red!All the home video transfers of the 97 look like garbage color-wise, but supposedly the prints looked great.
No, they don’t. They look like GARBAGE. Adawyn’s looks amazing in comparison. Trust me, I sat through the grossness of the fake(SE) versions of the Star Wars, ESB and ROTJ. They ALL sucked.
Well, I was 8 when I saw the SE in theaters (7 for ANH - ESB was my birthday present), so I couldn’t tell you how they looked, but supposedly the prints were timed to Lucas’ private Technicolor archival prints (at least for ANH) and by all the accounts I’ve heard, the colors were great.
Agreed about the music. I do think the duel works better without it, but it’s damn good music and watching it with the isolated score on Despecialized made me really want to see it properly reintegrated.

Definitely willing to donate. Won’t know how much for at least a week, but once I know I’ll shoot you a PM.
PM sent - now that I’m stuck working 84 hours next week I don’t need to wait and see, but I won’t have the cash to donate until my next check on the 13th.
Ha!
I agree that is quite funny. It’s actually the same way I feel for a lot of Amnesiac and Kid A. There were some points when Radiohead got a little too “experimental” for my tastes.
Yeah, pretty much how I feel about those two albums, though Motion Picture Soundtrack was worth all the other weirdness. (Not that it isn’t a weird one in its own right, of course.)

Ford has vehemently denied that rumor on many, many occasions. I’m not sure if I believe him though.
Not until he decides on somewhere new to host future torrents, which unless I’m mistaken is still the plan, MySpleen being a temporary measure.
Ah, I was hoping this would happen when Tom finally agreed to work with Big Finish! (Though to be fair, I assumed it would be a Big Finish audio…even though they already did a version of Shada with McGann.)
You replied to a post specifically talking about the differences between the 2003 and 2010 versions of the Alien DC and the fact that there is no comparison for those two versions on that website with a post that basically said “BUT THIS WEBSITE!!!” You even quoted said post in your reply.
The site is a great resource, but not useful for comparing the two things that the post you quoted was specifically talking about comparing.
Yeah, definitely. He’d need to be recolored or erased.
I also think this would flow better with the scene of Leia turning in Chewie, even though I agree with a lot of what has been said about the scene itself. Though I do kind of like the idea of revealing Jabba for the first time when Han is unfrozen. I’m just not sure how well the pacing works at the moment.
What did you think of my half-assed approach to “fixing” the rebel briefing scene? I think it could work pretty well with a little more polish. It cuts out pretty much all of the cheesy shit if nothing else.
Yay, Warb’s back! 😄
Oh, sure, the picture of me as a fucking teenager is the one that survived more than a decade in this thread, and I can’t even get rid of it since all you bastards quoted it!
Serves you right for ever having been a teenager.
I did my best to avoid it.
Taking a break from Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere (which I’m thoroughly enjoying) to read some stories from From a Certain Point of View.
