4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

they don’t have access to any new prints, and i don’t actually think they exist. it’s not that hard to get rid of fading, though, especially because technicolor prints do not fade, iirc. this particular print was very blue, but from several other color references (return of the puggo, harmy’s grindhouse, etc) ROTJ seems to be very blue in general.

the colors have been tweaked even more since that trailer. it’s a bit less green, a bit less blue and a bit more saturated in general, i think. we’ll see. that trailer was done 1 month ago, a lot has changed since.

Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo
Time

i’m not sure if locking the thread or zero-tolerance towards politics would be necessary. the ratio of crap posts or crap discussions over the amount of general political discussions is very low, imo. there was an interesting conversation going on between mrebo, catbus, warb, mfm and puggo, for example, and i sure was paying a lot more attention to that than to the parallel conversation. you could try to ignore the responses you consider not meaningful and be done with it.

and i think that saying all we think politically is nonsense and that this thread is trash was a bit harsh. i’ve learned quite a bit with some people here and i would not like for this thread and political discussion in general to be banned. but it’s your forum after all, and you do as you please.

not to go too off topic, i agree with what mfm said a couple of pages back in saying it’s absurd to not vote for warren simply because she said she has a native american ancestral. sure that sounds very forced and whatnot, but if i’ve learned anything with my country’s politics is that we need a more unified left. there’s a crazy bastard who was praised by a fucking KKK leader earlier today that’s likely going to win the presidency. i’m close to hopeless.

I’m no longer ‘Obese’, I’m just ‘Overweight’ now!

Excellent! What would you say your “end goal” is? I say end goal, but of course it’s not so much an end but moreso a place to maintain.

I’ve still got a ways to go before I’m ‘done’. Good news is that I’m under 200 lbs as of yesterday! I still have another 40 or so to go to be considered ‘normal weight’ for my height.

There’s also the case of my gender transition, which I’ll medically tackle soon. Good news: both people I’ve told about it in person to have been very accepting!

that’s absolutely great snooker! 😄
