Which versions of TESB & ROTJ would match perfectly with 4K77? Grindhouse? DE?

that’s personal preference.

Is there going to be a 4K80 & 4K83?

yep.

we also have a radio drama thread here.

i’ve never seen 2001 and i bet i’d complain about that.

when i saw the scene my first thought was “how the heck is she alive?”

“… in the radio play.”

i fucking suck at riddles - and it makes me feel like i suck at logical thinking, which makes me feel unintelligent, stupid and dumb.

Tell me, if someone were to say to you that abortion is not a huge and controversial issue, would you waste time trying to convince the guy that he was wrong?

I’m not saying it isn’t a controversial issue. It clearly is. I’m saying that I’d like to hear some of the reasons people think having much fewer restrictions on it is a bad thing, because I’ve yet to hear an argument that convinces me we need to be cracking down the way so many seem to think we do.

Note that everything I just said applies equally to my views on abortion, since you brought that up.

Basically, it’s a controversial issue because people think it’s a problem. I’m not convinced it’s a problem at all, and anytime someone here has been asked why they think it is, the answer seems to be “it just is” with no reasoning given.

I haven’t seen those questions/exchanges.

As I said, I start from the premise that immigration law is good and necessary. Illegal immigration is a threat to our security because we don’t know who is coming in, the overall impact on our economy is arguable but there is some negative impact, illegal immigration results in a permanent second-class status for millions of people, crimes go unreported out of fear, gangs like MS13 profit from it, it is unfair to those who follow the law to become citizens, among other reasons.

then change the fucking law. as shown in the infographic above shared by flametitan, it’s a pain in the ass to even be eligible to apply for US citizenship. do you think families trying to run for their lives give a shit or have the resources to try to do that? or have any of the necessary qualifications? no they don’t. so because they have no previous ties to the US, they deserve to suffer? the system is not fair at all.

honestly just change the system, and stop being so close minded. this is xenophobia at its best. like already stated in the thread, the whole concept of borders is absolute bullshit - especially given to the US (given its history). not to mention that to prevent someone from having a better shot at life or trying to pursue happiness simply because they were born in another place goes directly against the declaration of independence, word for word.

perhaps if there was a law change and a better structure to deal with immigrants that can’t go through all the bureaucracy that’s now in place (just something to help them settle or something like that) then illegal immigration would be no problem at all because it then would be legal immigration and the immigrants would (if the policy/idea i’m proposing here worked) be helping society and the economy prosper.

 

the US is the richest and most prosperous country in the world, or at least in the west, and that comes with consequences. you may choose to act nobly and basically try to help those in need (but NOT like the military theoretically did in the middle east) or you can choose to close the door to anyone in need and to try to prosper alone, gates and borders closed.

The one thing I agree with you on is: change the law.

The open borders stuff is nonsense but I think a sensible solution could be found to provide for increased immigration.

that’s good enough

Might be worth putting out a casting call looking for amateur actors in the area, rather than just fans.

i agree with this, especially because i think that because of the location, it’s out of hand for most fans.

i think most of us would like for off-topic to go back to being just one category. how about we put it to a vote? it was much easier when it was all under one category.

By “his son’s” do you mean “his brother-in-law’s”?

I think a lot of people thought that Kylo’s saber in the Last Jedi flashback was Luke’s old saber when really it is just the unmodified version of his crossguard saber.

are you sure? it makes sense that that lightsaber ended up being Kylo’s. “that lightsaber. it belongs to me.”

Trump signs order stopping his policy of separating families at border

definitely for the better, imo.

Disney raises its bid for Fox to $71 billion

hi! sorry not to give a more detailed input, but the posts here are a bit lengthy and i really don’t have the time right now, so i’m sorry about that.

but about the crawl - i’m not a fan of the all-caps in general, i don’t think they’re necessary at all, so have you ever given a thought to only capitalizing FO? and not resistance? or maybe neither?

oh, and do you think you’ll be including some changes from Neverar’s Starlight Project? amd is the crawl the same as in restructured?

intersteller really needs a fan audio touch up or something, I tried to watch it at a friends house, and the dialog was inaudible, and the sound effects were enough to require earplugs!

Maybe your friend needs to friend rebalance his sound system.

yeah, from what i remember Interstellar’s sound mix is superb.

"ProPublica has obtained audio from inside a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, in which children can be heard wailing.

Border Patrol agent jokes, ‘We have an orchestra here.’"

fucking sickening and revolting.

what happened to psycho_dayv?

i vote for the DVD.

1. does “more bombastic version of the opening theme” means Episode IV’s version? because if so, brother, i’m against it.

2. did you borrow the “rey > han in the falcon” and “rey >>>>>> kylo in a lightsaber duel” cuts from ironman23’s TFA?

3. is the standard version’s ending going to end with TFA:Restructured’s stsbilized helicopter shot?

man, darthrush, you never cease to amaze me. every single cut you listed is one i’d make, too. so this is already my go-to.

wow this sounds amazing! man i am looking forward to this. i’ll get the blu-ray just to watch this with a clear conscience (i only have it on vhs).
