Wow ... this is incredibly sad ... his work was amazing, and will always be remembered.

Rest in peace.

The new TV-movies will not take place after the end of the series, they'll be more prequel/"mid"-quel type things like "Razor" was. Which I don't really care about, since "Razor" was kind of pointless in the long run.

Well, I didn't expect them to get there so soon.

I was more or less expecting they'd find what they've found, but I thought it'd happen round episode 13-15, not 10.

I know I said I was done with this thread, BUT...

... The Frank Darabont draft ("Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods") has leaked. You can find it online if you know where to look. Contact me via PM if you're interested, I can point you in the right direction.

*Now* I'm done with the thread.

Probably early 2009. Nothing official, all still TBA, they're shooting the final episode later this month.

Best episode of the season thus far, though! But I'm sick of SciFi spoiling SO much of the next week's episodes in their previews ... still, looks like the midseason cliffhanger this Friday will be intense ...

"I am also confused as to why spielberg elected to shoot this all on film, it really seems a waste if it has fake cgi rendered in a computer in 90% of the movie."

Alright, you guys have fun bitching in here, I'm done with this thread. I thought the movie was decent, on par with the last 2. That's the last I'll say on the subject. See you in another thread.

RE the Slave I/Bespin thing:

This is something the prequels fell victim to: over-explaining things that don't need to be over-explained. I don't think it needs to be changed at all. If anything, making it seem like he's listening in on their conversation somehow (just an audio clip of their conversation played while he's in the cockpit) is all that should be done, but I'm honestly against that as well.

I agree with you there, canofhumdingers. Though I didn't hate the movie, and I did like the chase at the end (even the swordfight), although it didn't have quite the "Indiana Jones feel" I'd hoped for.

I never said they used NO CG, what I said was the *majority* of it wasn't. I'm also not saying the CG didn't feel out-of-place or bad, because when it was there, it was pretty intrusive.

Take the motorcycle chase - with the exception of the Brody statue (which I would have hated even if it wasn't CG, which I'm not entirely sure it was), the rest of the chase wasn't CG at all.

What about the graveyard sequence? That felt pretty real. I'm fairly certain that wasn't green-screened.

Did they use too much CG? Hell yeah. But saying "most of the movie was shot on green screen and phony cgi instead of on location" is just plain false.

I'm not actually getting *all* that, I know perfectly well that's all basically pointless excess. I said able to *afford* - I'd just like to have the option to afford what I want without having to compromise, and I *will* eventually need a more powerful computer in the future.

Maybe if Apple allowed demo periods or something of that nature, I'd give it a shot, but I've used a friend's iPhone a couple of times and it did not impress me in the slightest. I can do everything I need in a phone with my Samsung perfectly fine.

I don't get all the iPhone love.

Don't get me wrong, I'm typing this on my MacBook Pro with OS X Leopard I purchased while listening to music in my 80 GB iPod. But I think the iPhone and MacBook Air are both ridiculous pieces of useless technology.

Now if they could have iPhone-like touch technology with an actual computer and make it work, we'd be on our way to incredibly cool, intuitive "Minority Report"-esque computers down the road, which I'd love to no end.

Sorry for my little rant - to answer your question, no, I won't now, nor will I ever buy an iPhone.

I am relishing the day in the future when I'll be able to afford an 8-core Mac Pro with a 30" HD display, 32 GB RAM, a 1.5 GB graphics card, and 4 terabytes of hard drive space ... a man can dream ...

DanB. said:

Here is some info, maybe this might help. I have the most recent imgburn program and I downloaded the Star_Wars_Revisted_NTSC_DVD_5 file. It is 4.35 GB and my computer says that it is an ISO file (I have no idea what that is). I am using Imitation brand DVD-R / 16x 4.7 GB discs. My HP computer is 1 year old and can record on DVD+/- and R/RW/DL discs

When I go to imgburn, I am given the following options:
1). write image file to disc
2). creat image file from disc
3). verify disc
4). write files / folders to disc
5). creat image file from files / folders
6). discovery

Which one should I choose, and does it somehow make an ISO file into something a regular home dvd player would be able to play? My guess is it can't be that simple. I probably have to somehow convert this file, and split it into video and audio files? Is this correct?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my previoius post,
Daniel

An ISO is an image file, so you need to select option #1, "write image file to disc," and select your ISO file to be burned.

Skyjedi: "don't even get me started on the fact that most of the movie was shot on green screen and phony cgi instead of on location in Peru, Tunisia etc. or elsewhere like they did with the originals."

If this is true, it certainly didn't feel like it. In my opinion, the vast majority of the film was shot on sets and locations. If much of this film was shot green-screen, I'll drop out of film school and flip burgers at McDonald's for the rest of my life - only one or two things (the swordfight and "skull room," I believe) even remotely felt green-screened. The rest certainly had the on-set/on-location feel to it, unlike 85% of "Attack of the Clones" or 98% of "Revenge of the Sith."

They're fixing the DVNR that was done to the LD masters as much as possible (scenes that were too badly damaged were fixed using the Japanese Special Collection, etc).

And if I remember correctly, no member of the project actually owns an X0 player, they sent them to someone else for transferring ... or something ... I'm probably wrong on that ... but the big point here is that no, they won't be able to do other transfers.

RE titles:

I'd vote for "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls" for the 4th movie.

Also, they didn't change the title for "Raiders" within the movie, which is all I care about. I can make my own covers without the "Indiana Jones" in the title.

And this edit sounds great - I'd love to see it when you're done!

Though, might I suggest changing the "AND THE" in the title to the same font used for "STARRING IN"? It's looking a wee bit rough at the moment, and I think that would help. Besides, the opening titles in the movies have never been *exactly* alike - the titles for "RAIDERS" use the second font for "OF THE LOST ARK," for example. I'd go with legibility over continuity here.

For Mac - I use Toast Titanium. It's a fantastic program, though you have to pay for it (although if you really don't want to I'm sure you can figure something out ;-)

I don't know how Toast handles the layer break, though, so I don't know if you need the fix included with the torrent or not (I applied it just in case).

Actually, after thinking about it, my "judge" theory is ridiculous.

But the final cylon *is* painfully obvious - so obvious that no one's mentioned it yet:

DVD-5:

"Revisited" version with all changes, minus one or two small errors that were fixed for the DVD-9 (number of guns on the rack, for example)

DVD-9:

"Revisited" version with all changes, best video quality, most extras, and all errors fixed ("final" version)

PURIST:

DVD-5 of a version with no added music, no new Death Star reveal, Ben's hut scene restored to theatrical version, and I think the Death Star battle is closer to original version (no big TIE reveal).

I *think* I got most of the differences.
