Now I miss the one from before Stinky-Frinkens. And Harmy’s Yoda/Joker face. I’m off topic too.

When I look at your avatar, I begin to miss your Stinky-Dinkens/Frink avatar.

We cannot allow the smoking age to go up to 21! It’s an assault on the right of 18-20 year olds to decide what to do with their own bodies! Write to your municipal, county, state, and federal representatives about this!

If I had absolute power, I would ban smoking entirely.

I actually agree with this.

Young Indy wasn’t a theatrical film, it was a television series spin-off. So, no.

Excuse, please, what are “ETC Credits?”

Guessing the OPs first language isn’t English and he means the subtitles (burned in).

He’s talking about the credits that play over the image near the end of the scene. It was the only video source available.

I would give every book a 5/5, except for perhaps the first, which would get a 4/5

FILMS! I mean, come on, who cares about the source material?

Hey, Ron, your covers are simply amazing, and I was wondering if you’d mind if I used your covers as the bases for my own covers. I’d give you credit where due if I end up posting my cover projects of course.

This is from July 2014, and the OP was last on here in July 2014.

How does one become salt-grain-worthy?

At any rate, it’s a fanedit, so YMMV.

It’s not the mileage, it’s the years… er… wait…

In that case…

4. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

When someone uses a statement that’s an obvious generalization, you should take it with a grain of salt.

^It doesn’t deserve the empty stars.

It gets rid of some of Arnold’s silly moments like jive talk, “no problemo,” “hasta la vista,” and “I need a vacation.” No more thumbs up. And I love the removal of the Bad to the Bone song in favor of traditional Terminator music.

Though I understand cutting “I need a vacation” and Bad to the Bone, the rest of the “silly” stuff that you don’t like is stuff that I have “no problemo” with 😉. In fact, I wouldn’t like it to be gone, because it allows John to be developed as a 10 year old punk kid. It’s 1990-1991 (1994-1995 in film), so that kind of stuff is cool with the kids, and he has this robot protector guy now, so he’s teaching his pet robot how to be hip. Nothing wrong with that. Cheesy can fit the picture as long as it’s done right, and I think it was in T2. And like I said, I’m not sure if Bad to the Bone should stay, but I’m curious what the scene is like with whatever the replacement track is. Anyway, I think that the Extended Addition is the way to go with T2, but some subtle edits added to that (like removing BttB) could be nice.

1. The Terminator - Everyone already knows that this is the best film, and everyone knows why.

By “everyone” you must mean no more than half, because this forum is the first place I have seen so many people who like the first better than T2.

It was a generalization made on the basis that most posts I’ve seen here say that it’s the best.

I never thought Willie was unbearably annoying, and I’ve never understood other peoples hatred for her. The purpose of the character was A) love interest, and B) annoying tag-along that Indy doesn’t want there.

^It won’t be that easy to make me break. It never happened. It… never…

4. KOTCS… ugh…

In a search to see if there are ny other rank threads I’ve missed, I decided this needs a good bump.

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark

2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Sometimes TOD comes before LC, but generally, I like LC more.

EDIT: *any

Of all the ranking threads, I must have missed this one. I guess I’ll add my rankings.

1. The Terminator - Everyone already knows that this is the best film, and everyone knows why.

2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day - Almost a perfect sequel.

Everything else should never have happened, because that was literally the plot of T2.

That was actually not a bad blu ray compared to the others…

Oh really?

^It’s been said a thousand times, but ol’ George couldn’t even leave TPM alone.

I would appreciate (to an extant) revisiting the pan & scan version of the Phantom Menace. I have not seen it in over a decade now! The other two prequels I really have no desire to see again as long as I live.

Yeah, I was referring to the pan & scan when I said theatrical. Is there anything different between the versions? I was under the impression that it didn’t undergo changes until the DVD release, but I don’t know. Anyway, I always prefer the original/intended aspect ratio, even when I grew up with mostly pan & scan versions, so the Theatrical reconstruction would be my ideal version to re-watch.

moviefreakedmind said:

I have nothing against Marvel or DC or any character in general for that matter, I just feel that they have over-saturated the market for superheroes.

Fixed.

Was it away for a good while, or was it just like a couple months? Just curious. Anyway, I’ll pray for him too.

I think “most” is pushing it, but yeah, TPM has plenty of practical effects. It still has too many bad CG effects though. Maz is not a practical effet . 😉

Yeah, I know for Maz, it’s cgi. Bad CG in EpI ? EpII has strong cgi issues, but EpI is well done. But shitty designs for the pod racers and the annoncer. Jar Jar is still impressive nowadays.

It’s better than AOTC and ROTS, but it’s not fantastic. Like when a piece of the double-head-guy’s model intersects with itself. It’s still the only prequel I can bare to watch, and I might even want to some time in the future, purely for childhood nostalgia. Theatrical version specifically though.
