For those of you who remember the actual negative 1 (as opposed to the team nonsense)
Wait, how did you know about the Team Nonsense? I never managed to get it off the ground before the prohibition on teams came down!
Here’s the Blu-ray with a luminance boost compared to the promotional image that I quickly regraded:
That comparison makes all the baby womprats cry in unison.
What a low-down dirty shame what they’ve done to those great movies…
I approve of all these techniques for coping with the grief of the PT and for relieving certain psychic dissonances that the PT might inflict, but I cannot agree that any of them actually make the PT watchable.
So how many Warblers weirding do we get today?
Sorry to break it to everyone here, but Citizen Kane is a boring, overwrought wreck of a film.
I’m really surprised at how low the consensus rating for SW77 is on this site. People who rate it in the 8 range: why aren’t you on a Citizen Kane geek site instead of this one?
He was clearly joking.
Look, I wouldn’t expect a Lucas defender to be anything other than tone deaf, but
1.) The remark is beyond the pale, even if in jest.
2.) His tone is not one of jest, but only of bitterness, until he tries to back out of it with a forced scoff.
There’s a reason every industry rag has now picked up the story, after being scooped by me. (Just google “George lucas white slavers”.) It’s truly a remark of spectacular delusion and callous narcissism.
Did he seriously refer to Disney as "the white slavers who take these things and [trails off, chuckles mirthlessly]"?
What an unfathomable piece of garbage. Four billion dollars richer, and playing the martyr.
Did I mention there was an empty bottle of whiskey in the men’s room at my theater?
Sounds romantic. What’s the address?
(Asking for a Frin–I mean, friend.)
I too read “beer” as “bear” when I first saw the thread title. That’s an amusing coincidence.
I did not, however, misread “favorite” as its Commonwealth-favoured variant.
That’s just weird.
OT is essentially his vision. Since they claim TFA will try to capture the OT feel, it doesn’t seem they will be distancing themselves from his vision.
See, it’s just this type of obtuse misunderstanding that could have been prevented with the judicious deployment of scare quotes.
If I had to guess, they first want to restore the franchise and distance it from his vision…
I think that part at least is better than a guess, since it finds strong support in the tone and attitude of everything Abrams, Kasdan–and Georgie-poo–have said.
ON a side note, “vision” should always be flanked by scare quotes when Georgie is the topic.
Jedi is …an objective failure, and may be inferior to Episode III for fuck’s sake!
No, it isn’t, for the simple reason that it’s a hell of a lot of fun. RotS is a stultifying chore to slog through all four hours of.
Games made by Nintendo have intuitive, viscerally satisfying play control.
All other developers churn out clunky, awkward “graphics” spectacles that can only be crudely manipulated with highly arbitrary-feeling inputs. Not more powerful. Easier for developers to make. More seductive to graphics-oriented superficial players.
That is how you can tell the good from the bad.
Nintendo = good. All else = the lies side dark there.
That fail is why do you.
Sounds like the LDs are a good place to start…
There’s Boba’s voice. But developing a different accent is possible.
I always just assumed Fett’s voice was mechanically altered by the mask, just like Vader’s and Leia’s/Boussche’s–even before “knowing” that he was “always supposed to be” a clone of some stilted kiwi.
I mean, is James Earl Jones’s voice “inconsistent” with Hayden’s? (Please don’t give LucasFilm any more ideas!!!)
Scott Weiland died on December 4, at age 48.
It’s really good.
…your ideas would make the film a boring soap opera instead of a fun adventure sci-fi/fantasy.
I knew there was something I liked about them!
–Georgie-Poo
I’m pumped, my first viewing is gonna be …the 4am showing …
Please tell me that’s a typo.
Id, you’re going to earn a free holiday vacation if you don’t learn when to lay off.
I swear I had nothing to do with the theft of Possessed’s identity!
Terrific interview with Lawrence Kasdan in the L.A. Times.
It’s astounding how much everyone involved in that article is–tactfully–shitting all over the PT.
“Oh, that was just George being George and going through some personal stuff. Now let’s talk about the actual movies.”
The franchise is getting so post-Lucas that the OT release is inevitable.
But…in how long?
Yeah, I got a similar story to bitch about, Possessed. I too was at Wal-Mart (although I don’t work there, but usually just hang around pickin’ up chicks and scanning for leftover Icee in the food court), and I start hitting on this one chick in particular–who worked there. I picked up some mega-packs of condoms and ointment that I was gonna pretend to wanna buy just, you know, as an excuse to talk to her (and then tell her I didn’t want them after all, you know, after I got those digits), and I cut into her line and start my standard mack routine. I’m firing on all cylinders, you know, really makin’ progress, telling her how I’m bout to slap dat ass, and hit dat thing mad hard, you know, like chicks like)–when suddenly this other big ol’ bruiser of an employee cock-blocks the shit outta me! He gets all in my face, cuz he’s like jealous, you know, and says he won’t move until I leave and get this: he says he not even on duty! So clearly, he’s like, outside his jurisdiction, right? So I start tellin’ 'im, Look I saw her first, and let the lady decide and whatnot but this lumbering kid start peppering me with, like, MATH PROBLEMS like “What’s 2 times 8?” and shit, and I’m like DUDE, I’m way too drunk to do math, and this chick isn’t even worth it, yo.
So I totally see where you’re coming from about bitches these days, bro.
Wow. This thread is scary.
On a related note, I really can do that twat-smoking trick, if you’re serious about wanting to see it.
I’d rather see you fellate and sodomize yourself simultaneously instead.
Hey, how’d you know about the Aristocrats? That trick is still under development! Somebody leaked! Why do I even bother having those kids sign NDAs at all???
I’d like to chime in and say in no way would I like to see that…
Too late–the fans have spoken!
And now, without further ado…
a super-special sneak preview by popular demand…
just…give me…one moment…to apply the sacred oils…
…and!
…
TA-DAAAA!
So you guys all saw that, right? [/out of breath]
Right?
Oh, who cares? I got mine.
Peace.
