I guess he doesn't care anymore. Not being ignored.

That's certainly a reasonable response to what I said.

How is complaining that things are no longer shot on film(Something that was extremely bulky and expensive)not you complaining that things were better in the old days? The way the sets are set up, how they are lit, and the look of the actors effects what the movie looks like just as much as if it is shot on film or not. How is my complaint any different then your's?  We are both complaining about how the look of modern films and Tv shows takes us out of the story and calls attention to the fakeness of the setting. 

I'm not saying film is better, though I tend to prefer it. I don't have a problem with digital. Film is a tool that less and less filmmakers have the ability to use nowadays. It is a different aesthetic. The fact that it is older doesn't make it better.

And Hayley Atwell is hotter than any woman I've ever met.

Well it's only taken three and a half years but finally someone has me on ignore! (JT34 doesn't count.) Thanks DrCrow.

Farts.

Agent Carter's pretty good. DrCrow's semi-mysoginistic rants about it are funny too.

I'm with Ryan. Is there plenty of grit out there, if you know where to look. 

I initially thought this was about the decline of content shot on film. If it was, I might have agreed.

But this just seems like typical "it was better in the old days" malarky. 

Will this thread ever end?

^Sadly true.

This is random Star Wars thoughts people.

Is it weird that I want to see his new experimental films? And not because I think they'll be bad. Lucas is a fairly interesting director visually and it'd be cool to see him make a micro budget film along the lines of Koyaanisqatsi. 

Hmm there was something cool and Star Wars related I meant to post here. Forgot what it was. 

I doubt this eBay guy had a full print and just decided to start chopping it up. Surely he knew how much the whole thing would go for.

They "could" have made a film that fit within the EU, but that would have provided a whole host of limitations. From what little we know about TFA it's already clear that they're diverging greatly from the EU.

Dropping the EU means more creative freedom and letting the filmmakers tell the story they want to tell. Is that story a good one? We can't say until Dec. 18th.

What I do know is that I don't know anything, and I think that's fantastic. There's a mystery to it all now. What's happened since ROTJ? What's going to happen? Nixing the EU opens the universe up to millions of possibilities. The excitement and wonder of seeing a new and unknown Star Wars film is back for the first time in 32 years. That certainly makes it all worth it.

Yeah we probably can't expect anything a but a teaser poster until May.

Who's Dorthy?

Also, you know she wanted Toto killed.

For me, there's just a lot of blank spaces between user's posts. I do think that some people are comparing the worth of two movies versus the worth of 172 episodes and wondering why there are more good things about the one with 43 times more content to succeed/fail at.

 Yep.

I don't really care what the new continuity brigade says. The films are canon, everything else is EU. That doesn't mean I won't indulge in them, but they're still EU.

Do tapes still work? I kind of had the impression (from personal experiences) that all VHS tapes (and players) are old enough at this point to fall apart when you try to watch them.

Wow, surprise guest appearance in the new ep. Cool.

Double post.

I've never walked out of the theater for any film, prequel or otherwise, no matter how bad. Don't get the reasoning behind such a decision.

That last one's good! But I think it's probably best to stick with what you have but with the I insteax of we. Don't change will to might, it should be more definite that her death is imminent.

Well he's also directing at least VIII and probably IX too.

I don't know if Episode VII will reference anything from the SEs (though I doubt it will), but I know that VIII and IX won't, as they are being written by Rian Johnson, an avowed SE hater.
