I am going to be having San Francisco chicken for diner tonight.

Is that thought random enough for this thread?

Kate O'Mara 74.

Well that is too bad:( 

I didn't know she was that old.  I think she did a pretty good job with the part she was given,let's face it the part wasn't very well written.

It seems like we have gotten to the point where every year we are losing at least one member of the Doctor Who family.

RIP:(

oops.  double post.

Great,Thanks!:)

I have never heard of that so this is a big help.  I will have to see if I can use it to get my old Wing Commander games working too.

Thanks a bunch!

I thought I would ask here since a lot of people seem to be techinicly minded.

Any way the only working computer I have now(Since my old Packard Bell finally died)is a windows 7 64 bit machine and it runs like a dream for everything i want it to do except one thing.  I can't seem to install my favorite version of Simcity on it.

I put my Simcity 3000 disc in the drive,the auto play menu comes up,I tell it to install and then nothing happens.  Everything just stops and my computer doesn't do a thing after that.

If you can tell me why this is happening or if there is a work around for it I would be grateful,thanks.

I went years think POC stood for piece of crap,I was really embarrassed when I learned most people meant it to mean person of colour.

Then again learning that did clear up a few misunderstandings I had.

Right now I'm just praying that I can figure this out so I can watch movies in my bedroom again :p.

I know this is a really, REALLY stupid question, but...ummm.......

Why don't you just watch Blu-rays from your own region?

Well I can't speak for anyone else but since I made the move to Blu Ray I have missed being able to watch certain movies and shows that were just never released in my region. I am in the states and there are a few British shows and movies that I would snatch up the Blu Ray copies for in an instant if I had the money for a multi region BluRay player. For instance Life on Mars was released on DvD here but never on Bluray and the Dvds seem to costs an arm and a leg,I would love to just get the Blurays but they were never released in the states.

I came into this thread hoping to find a cheap multiregion hack for bluray players,but sadly such a thing doesn't seem to exist:(

I like Ewoks too, with some fava beans and a nice chianti. :)

  That's fine if you want to get fancy and mess with the natural flavor.

I just finished making my own Blu ray versions using DVD architect and it is great.  I used an old copy of From Star Wars to Jedi as an extra and I found all the trailers for the movies and a bunch of old Tv adds.  I never thought I would be able to own a Blu ray boxset of the theatrical cuts of these films.

Oh and I don't care what anyone says I liked the Ewoks and I loved the original rock song that plays in Jaba's palace,so thank for retaining that and the original song at the end of the movie.

This is great!:)

 My copy of Harmy's Star Wars Despecialized Edition is defective, because these scenes are missing from my copy. Damn it.

Oops sorry.

I forgot this thread was for the first movie only and started talking about the whole series.  I tend to refer to the whole series as star wars and not think of it as three separate movies because I tend to watch all three of them in one sitting when i watch them.  I do the same thing with Lord of the Rings. Sorry.

I stand by my love of the Ewoks.  I don't care what people say about me,I like them.

Well all I can say is thank you for your continued hard work.  You have saved my favorite film trilogy.  What you have done just blows my mind.  I had given up all hope of ever seeing these films the way i remembered then in any sort of decent quality.

Thanks you so much.

Yeah also Babylon 5 and Star Trek but I couldn't find a way to fit those in there:)

Really cool story there,I would have loved to see the movies in theaters.

I was also five the first time I saw Star Wars,I remember because my family didn't have a lot of money at the time but we had been given a used Tv and VCR by some relatives,but we didn't have any tapes for it.  One day my little brother got really sick so we were just hanging out in the living room when the UPS guy showed up with a package from one of my aunts in Utah,it was the Star Wars Trilogy on VHS. My mom hadn't asked for it or anything it had just been sent to us out of the blue. It was the late 80s release in the boxset that had all the cool artwork from the posters and a letter then George Lucas on the side of the packaging. Any way to make a long story less long we watched all three movies in one go and I was glued to my seat. I loved all the characters and I went on to watch the movies so many times that I knew every line of dialog and every musical beat and sound effect.  It got to the point that one time I was at a babysitter's house and the speakers went on his Tv but I kept watching Jedi saying all the dialog myself.  Then when the SEs came out I didn't mind them that much except that the movies I grew up with were gone,these weren't the movies I knew by heart,it just didn't feel right.  My mom felt the same way.

Now as my mom put it "This looks as good as it did the first time I saw it in theaters." and some movies that were very special for my family and I have been returned to us.  So thank you so much to anyone who did any work or provided any feedback,thank you so much.

I just wanted to log on to say thank you so much Harmy.  I have not been this impressed with a restoration job on something since first seeing the Doctor Who episodes that had been restored by fans for the DvDs.  I just watched the first movie and you did an amazing job,you saved Star Wars for me. I hadn't watched the films in years on account of only having the old DvD bonus discs that I just couldn't get to look right on any of my TVs.

My mom asked me to thank you for her.  I showed this to her and she was blown away and had a tear in her eye at one point. Star Wars came out when she was 17 and it has been her favorite movie ever since but like me she just couldn't get into the SEs and she couldn't get use to either having people's head squeezed flat or having the picture tiny on her TV. Another problem she had is that her hearing isn't the best and she had trouble making out the dialog on the old DvDs,but she didn't on this file so she wanted me to tell you how grateful she is to you for saving her favorite film ever.

It takes me about two days on my internet connection to download each video file but it is worth it.

Thank you so much as someone who isn't good with this sort of thing but likes my movies looking as good as they can I just have to say I am amazed at what you did.

Thank you!

thank you!

Thank You!
