Darth Bizarro

Harmy...you gave me my childhood back...thank you...*dramatic tear*

AWESOME!!!

Is it going to look like Obi-wan's lightsaber is flickering out once again?

:-)-<--<

Star Wars:

Everything except Greedo.  I'm indifferent towards the Jabba scene.

Empire Strikes Back:

Everything except "Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival" and the scream.

Return of the Jedi:

Jedi Rocks if fine except for the over the top CG characters.  The rest of the expanded band with actors in suits and puppets are OK.  I greatly prefer the new ending music as well.

I was watching ESB Despecialized again today and I think I've spotted a really significant flaw. I never realized it with old VHS copies, etc. but once you go to HD I think Harrison Ford to sexy. I like the HD, but this is distracting. I think it would be best if you left Harrison Ford in standard definition for ROJ, while maintaining the HD for the rest of the cast. Actually maybe standard definition for Lando as well. Just a thought.

HD=Harrison Definition

Bingo, it's his world, we're just wrong in it.

:D ;) :p :/ :z :d :afdkl;j

A lot of my own opinions on various movies and other things, have been shaped by being challenged by others.
I write something, someone responds, and BAM, that actually makes sense, didn't think of that.

Where would I be if, instead of listening to objections, I'd get uptight and annoyed at how someone dares question my OPINION?
Probably getting offended at negative remarks about a religion I admittingly have no clue about.

You know, part of putting an opinion on a public forum, is that it very easily may be challenged by somebody. Part of having one is that it may be deluded in some way. It doesn't mean anyone is super-smart, or megalomaniacal - it's just normal discourse happening.

So you may as well quit your worthless one-liners, it's getting aggravating.

So in other words, you don't like this movie, but this person over here does.  Here's his reasons.  No sorry, your reasons aren't good enough.  Your reasons are flawed.  Here's why you shouldn't like the movie.  Why would anyone want to convince someone not to like a movie.

And I rather find his worthless one liners amusing. 

The Ewoks should have blown up the Death Star and Jar Jar Binks should have been Lando's co-pilot!

Darth Bizarro is the greatest human being alive and I love Jar Jar Binks!

Fixed.

This whole article sounds like thoughtless fanboy rage that pretends to speak for everybody when in fact it doesn't.  The prequels didn't ruin the original trilogy.  If you don't like them, then don't watch them.  It's as simple as that.  Alien 3 doesn't ruin Aliens for me, because I don't watch it.  I don't let the Jaws sequels ruin Jaws for me nor do I let the Matrix sequels ruin The Matrix.

Yet dude totally gushes over red letter media like he's some expert who figured the whole thing out.  The reviews were funny, yes, and made some good points but I have a hard time having much respect for a reviewer who makes comments like "so you might like the movies, you know, if you're stupid."

If it was up to me, the Blu Rays would have the original theatrical presentations of all 6 movies, the 97SE of the original trilogy, the DVD versions of all 6 movies, newer versions of all 6 with any additional tweaks George might want to add (ie, CG Yoda in Ep1 and Quigon in EpIII), and extended cuts of all 6 with all deleted scenes put back in.

If that really happened, you have my sympathies.

Sorry, I had to pull a Red Five and cheat, I couldn't leave Tokyo Drift off of there, but I couldn't displace any of the others either. Damn, this is hard. So many amazing movies out there.

How could you possibly put Terminator 3 above Salvation.  Terminator Salvation is the greatest movie ever.  Right up there with Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo.

^I still do my fair share of bashing, but I certainly don't hate them by any means.  

Unfortunatly, I don't think there is a such thing as a normal Star Wars fan anymore.  The fan community has become so subdivided since 1997 that it's hard to really say who the normal fans are anymore.  

When you get on the internet it seems like everybody is either one extreme or the other, either they curse Lucas every chance they get or completely ride his dick and everyone else, who reside somewhere in the middle, kinda get lost in the fold because they aren't as loud.

MORE EWOKS!

JJ Abrams to George Lucas:

Lucas, I'm really diggin' what you're doing with the whole outer space thing, but I gotta tell ya baby, I gotta have more Lens Flare.

Somehow maybe i just figured this out but i think fink is a prequel gusher, no wonder he hates my prequel loathing.

Very Very interesting.

I highly resent the term "prequel gusher."  

I want the original versions of the trilogy to be released just as much as everyone else here but not everyone on this site loathes the prequels and that shouldn't be a prerequisite.

It's in every version of Empire I've seen.  It looks like a planet that starts to fade in as the Falcon flies into the asteroid them *BOOM* wipe.  It's been bothering me for years.  Does anybody know the secret to this mystery?

I think it was the scientist from the Simpsons.

There's a new Star Wars X-Wing miniature video game on the market, through Fantasy Flight Games. It looks cool, but it really makes you think, why isn't LucasArts going stronger after those tie fighter games we grew up on?

Because they're too busy doing Clone Wars crap.

It's not a stupid question at all.  Most 16mm prints are "reductions" from 35mm.  I strongly suspect that all 16mm prints of the OT are reductions.  But I don't know that for sure.  That said, I think they were released by Lucasfilm, and not pirated. But I have no way of even knowing that, for certain.

So because the 16mm frame isn't exactly the same dimension at the 35mm, the tops and bottoms get cut off slightly?

I'm going to ask a stupid question but it's been bugging me for awhile and google hasn't helped much.  

What exactly is the source of these 16mm prints used for the PG and PSB.  Are these official prints released by Lucasfilm meant to be played on 16mm projectors or are these copies made by other people who got their hands on official 35mm prints.  

I'm inclined to believe the latter due to my doubt that Lucasfilm would release an official copy of the film with the subtitles half cut off as they are during the Greedo scene.

If I remember correctly, I believe this same type of duplicated print was used to restore a missing 25 minutes to Metropolis though that print was in substantially poorer quality than these.

Just want to get my facts straight.
