Leia: *uses the Force in space, where there would be no strong gravity or resistance, to pull slightly so she could float back on board*

people: omg Leia can FLY now the Force can’t make people FLY what is this RUINED FOREVER.

To be fair what makes me go “eh?” is that I’m 100% sure she died and came back to life, therefore BS.

How about Peter Leia-Pan?

Disappointing that Shape of Water won. It was an OK movie.

So happy to see Jordan Peele win original screenplay!!! As well as Deakins for cinematography which he so deserves for not only Blade Runner, but for the rest of his career as well. These were my two favorite wins.

And Dunkirk robbed Baby Driver of the sound/film editing pair of awards.

Agree with first and second paragraphs, but Dunkirk’s editing was flawless.

Might be too late to ask, but why are you going to trim down Han Solo’s rescue so heavily? I think that some trims here and there are much needed, but I don’t know if it’s necessary to put it down to 20 minutes. I’m pretty biased towards darthrush’s edit, but it is really a fanedit you could look for inspiration upon. It trimms some things down here and there but his version is not that much shorter from the original, and not nearly as cheesy or stupid.

Have you ever given any thought to making Jabba’s Palace not be in Tatooine? Is that even possible? I think it’d be cool to see a new planet, and it’d take the rehashness away from your RotJ even more.

Yeah, to be fair Blade Runner’s special effects were brilliant. I just thought Kong or Apes would take it. I’m glad it was Blade Runner though, love that movie!

Edit: Wait, guys, does Blade Runner winning mean Harmy won an Academy Award?!

What? Blade Runner? Really? You had Kong and Apes…

You mean, the sound editing in the 2004 OT DVDs isn’t bad but the sound mixing is?

If Mark were to present Best Supporting Actor, I wanted him to basically go “and the oscar goes to… me! *joker laugh* *leaves*”

IMO he deserved a nomination at the very least.

Holy moly. That’s amazing. His movements look a bit robotic though, more so than in ESB I think, but not sure if that’s fixable. Amazing work Ridley, really. But I think both the mouth and the eyes can be improved even more.

With the Oscars approaching, I’d like to call for a moment of silence in honor of the 1978 Academy Award for Best Director that should’ve gone to George Lucas and didn’t.

astonishing, really. awesome work

There actually is a DVD-9 for Adywan’s Revisited. Our friend might want to check this website for more info.

I love it!

Once again, I’ll spare you all the wall of text…

…

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) - Not sure what took me so long on this once. Great cast, amusing story = good movie. B

Boy (2010) - Early Taika Waititi film that further proves the guy’s got a fantastic and unique cinematic voice. Funny and emotional. B

Three Men and a Baby (1987) - In which a horror movie scenario is played for laughs. Much too cutesy for me, but still likeable enough. C+

A Knight’s Tale (2001) - I wanted to see this when I came out and yet somehow this is the first time I’ve gotten around to it. For all the hoopla about anachronisms, I really wish they pushed that aspect of it further. As is, it’s sort of a basic “tale,” though Ledger is, of course, great with what he’s given. B-

The Crow (1994) - I knew this was the ultimate goth movie, but I wasn’t pleased to find out how true that really was. C

Blade (1998) - Another sort of superhero movie that’s taken me way too long to see, and honestly I’m pissed no one properly explained to me how cool this movie is. B

Blade II (2002) - Mostly on par with the last, though better in many ways. Makes me want to watch the follow up but I know I shouldn’t. B+

Peter Rabbit (2018) - Don’t even ask me why I saw this. I will say it’s not nearly as annoying as I thought it’d be, and Domhnall Gleason absolutely kills it. C+

Wait Until Dark (1967) - An exceedingly tense suspense picture. Hepburn brings it too, as usual. Alan Arkin plays it big but I love it. B+

Black Panther (2018) - Simply put, it’s the best Marvel has yet done. Not so much a superhero film as a superspy/Shakespearian tragedy sci-fi action/drama film, with some real meaning to it. Already seen it twice. Ryan Coogler’s the real deal. A-

Godzilla: Planet of Monsters (2018) - Little disappointing. I don’t even care about Godzilla that much but with a premise as interesting as this and the freedoms provided by the medium, it should have been a lot better. C-

Cool Runnings (1993) - An extremely basic sports film, but with a unique enough subject matter and charm to be quite a good time. C+

Annihilation (2018) - Always enjoy a good mind fuck. A great new entry in the cerebral sci-fi canon with some amazing imagery and a lot to chew on after the credits roll. I personally think they could have done a bit more with Portman’s character which could have improved the central ideas, but I think the movie still works fine as is. B+

Gattaca (1997) - A compelling, almost literary, sci-fi yarn. Some of the characterization is weak, but most of the power of the story is still there. B

Mute (2018) - What a massive shame this movie is. Despite the talent involved, pretty much everything is all over the place. The vague intrigue at the start never turns into anything of real interest, and all we’re left with is an overlong slog. D+

Game Night (2018) - This was a pleasant surprise. Nothing groundbreaking but it’s good to see a straight up comedy film that actually works these days - something that’s far rarer than it should be. B

Reported for sitting through an entire movie of James Corden being James Corden as a CG bunny and still giving it a passing grade.

I promise you it was not my choice to see that. And Peter Rabbit himself was easily my least favorite aspect.

But I cannot overstate how good Domhnall Gleeson was (also, hilariously, he’s basically reprising his role as Hux).

The merciless general he was in TFA or the idiot that serves as comic relief in TLJ?

Considering they’re the same, yes.

Eh, that was just the aspect that bothered me the most about TLJ. Just teasing though, Mr. Cobb.

I think you have to import your own still for the starfield behind the crawl.

Yeah, I though so too at first. But when I try and remove the background using after effects it didn’t work. Has anyone made a crawl for an edit before?

Here friend, try this video. I hope it helps you.

It was made by a member here, williarob.

The idea should be that someone says something serious in the context of another conversation that sounds ridiculous in isolation. A one-off play on a Futurama quote doesn’t do that.

Shouldn’t the OP be the one doing this?

There’s a reason I started the New Thread Thread and the OP didn’t.

I was just saying that technically it’s his thread and you shouldn’t be dictating what happens, that if one was to do that it should be the OP, that’s all.

I do appreciate your suggestion and think it’s a great idea.

"Or, hey, how about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion - mandatory 48 hour waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he’s about to do, a video he has to watch about the effects of gun violence, and ultrasound wand up the ass (just because). Let’s close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him walk through a gauntlet of people holding photos of loved ones who were shot to death, people who call him a murderer and beg him not to buy a gun.

It makes more sense to do this with young men and guns than with women and health care, right? I mean, no woman getting an abortion has killed a room full of people in seconds, right?"

Understandable, and I think Adywan is on the same page as you for ANH:R:HD. I might just do my own version of the audio track with the March inserted for myself.

It’s not that I don’t think it fits - the imperial march fits perfectly imo for the Death Star reveal - but it takes away from the first time we hear it in ESB.

Regarding Battle of the Heroes, I don’t really think it fits at all.

I actually agree with both of these, but in the context of the entire saga (yes, even the prequels…) it’s odd that the March is completely absent from Episode IV.

I disagree, but I understand.

PT is my guilty pleasure and I tend to rewatch them every year, so I’d be one to notice that, but I don’t. I guess I’ve gotten used to SW without imperial march or something like that. I don’t know, I just don’t miss it. Vader’s not THAT important in the movie as in the other 5, so I guess there’s a reason for you.

Also, if you watch the saga in release order it ends up making sense and new viewers won’t even notice or remember that it was absent from the movie, I don’t think. Heck, I only realized that the the march wasn’t in it hours before TFA’s opening night, when I marathoned the OT.

Not only that, but I’m pretty sure Revisited is, for all intents and purposes, only a trilogy now 😃

I raise the point to show how inconvenient and even dangerous protections of liberty can be.

I think the existence of the second amendment and the way it’s been interpreted is a pretty solid showcase of this as well.

I think we’re getting to a good place where Frink wants to arm white supremacist teachers and I want to repeal the 1st Amendment.

I thought Frink was joking… ? Not sure if you are but I guess you aren’t, so… ?

Disagree. I’d love for the HD version to be ANH:R PURIST in HD, but I know that that’s going too far. But I’m still against using pieces of soundtrack from the other movies, like the imperial march or battle of heroes.
