Meh

Putting fancier OT ships in the prequels sounds like fanboy fapmaterial to me.

How many new cars do you see lower class citizens driving compared to how many older used cars they drive. The rebels could be compared to lower class citizens. The higher class citizens (compare to imperials) are driving new cars. It as Bar Bar Jinx stated makes perfect sense. The rebels couldn't afford new ships. The Imperials could. Fanboy fap material or not it makes more sense than what geoge lucas gave us in the prequels.

Yes. Brand new sleak star fighters. I have a car my parents bought 15 years ago that I remember being so nice and shiney. Now it is a rust bucket that makes noises. That rust bucket are the fighters of the OT. we can make them look like a new car LOL.

I could do mockup ships. I took a CAD in high school so I could do a blueprint. But I never got to actually model my CAD projects. But I would need a bunch of ideas. And hard critique. You can diss it if you want. Hell even some doodles I could render into a reasonable model.

I don't know.  I just don't see Godfather Part III as at all comparable to ROTJ.  Jedi is something of a rehash, something of a phone-in, where the characters fill their parts, and the only really good stuff is at the end.  It felt like an obligation:  to tie everything up.  Godfather Part III was something completely different from the first two films.  It felt fresh, while ROTJ felt a bit tired.

haha I thought I was the anti fan when I would skip the chapter to the lightsaber duel. If the rest of the movie had the darkness the duel scenes had it would work. But right in the middle of the high tension duel Like an annoying Girls Gone Wild commercial the ewok battle screws up the vibe. It reminds me of dark side of the moon. You have all of these mellow atmospheric songs then right in the middle an almost hard rock Money. I love Money to death but it was out of place LOL.

Terminator 3

The Mummy 3

Austin Powers Goldmember

007 Dalton and Daniel Craig Years

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

 

For some reason I often feel the need to express how very much I dislike Terminator 3. Yeah, I really, really don't like that movie.

I liked the first two Mummys well enough myself. They were pretty shitty, but enjoyable enough for a cheesy summer flick (if it hadn't been for Rachel Weisz, I actually probably wouldn't have liked them). I suppose the fact that the last time I saw either of them was during their theatrical runs says a whole lot about how much I actually liked them... but anyway, all this to say I would gladly defend you from any shit giving that comes your way for liking them. And yeah, the third struck me as an incredible bad idea. Especially without Rachel Weisz.

I am not that big of a fan of over the top mindless comedies, but I seem to remember finding the original Austin Powers amusing (again, I think the last time I saw it was during its theatrical run). Saw the second one and hated it, same old jokes, more ridiculous than before, thought it was crap. Never even dreamed about considering the possiblility of bothering with the third one.

I also agree with you regarding Dalton and Craig. Though most guys seem to hate Roger Moore's Bond flick, I find The Man with the Golden Gun and Live and Let Die to be by far my two favorite Bond films. I liked Casino Royale, due to its loyalty to the source materially, but I didn't particularly like Craig in the role of Bond. I am also not the biggest Brosnan fan. Where I do disagree with you slightly is regarding Dalton, I rather liked Dalton in The Living Daylights, though I hated him in A License to Kill.

I always liked Roald Dahl's books as a kid. And I always really liked the film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I kind of liked the idea of a remake that more closely followed the book, which is what the Johnny Deep film promised to be. Ultimately, I felt Johnny Deep was absolutely awful in the role, and the same annoying guy playing every single Oopa Loompa and the fact that the Oopa Loompas were so obnoxious really made this movie entirely worthless. The original film did a great job with the Oopa Loompas, they were weird and charming. In the new film, they were a bit embarassing to watch. The whole think left a horribly taste in my mouth.

 

"Tim Burton stays in one single box his movies all look and feel the same."

Quoted for truth.

I thought I would get e-shanked for my list. I agree with everything you stated. And yes you were wise to not bother with austin powers 3. I think hollywood is getting worse all of the time. I cannot blame film makers because they are given no say to their original intentions of their films. A film maker really is just a guy who has an idea and then hollywood takes over and in the end they become the person who makes sure the job gets done. Have you seen any movie recently that didn't have explosions and car chases? Every movie I have seen is some nobody the government forces into doing their dirty work. I get so sick of that kind of movie. American cinema and television has really gone down the crapper. They honestly think that all we want to see is big loud explosions and car chases which most people do. Television is pure reality shows. Who gives a crap about who flava flav is banging. I get so pissed at television and cinemas I want to just yank out the cable on my TV and just watch movies I actually like. They are already destroying the internet. What next? Why do I pay 100 bucks a month for cable when I get 5 minutes of comercials between what I am watching? So I am paying for advertisements? Sorry for venting on these topics but when I start talking film and television I get rabid. I've been known to foam at the mouth talking about these things. It does make me feel better to vent.

Wow ady your version makes the 2004 dvds look as bad as the GOUT LOL

The imperial ship can just stay as is. They wouldnt need to scrap old ships. They have unlimited funding and POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah and have an xwing with modifications. It would be fully believable that the rebels tweaked their ships and slapped paint on them. It would be all mad max style having them do that.

A real good idea I have is to imagine the ships that they are flying in the OT are just the innards of the PT era ships. Like take the xwing and add some sleak and shiney shell to it. It would be like the rebellion went to the junkyard for their ships for their fleet. It would be like a car without its metal shell. And you would just see frame and the motor.

He was gonna make Indiana Jones 5's story be. Indiana Jones taking over Heny Sr.'s job as the old dad and make it Mutts adventure. But he changed his mind and is making one more. I am going to give it a chance knowing that the whole series of movies has a few hit and misses so maybe it will be good.

Ok, thank you!

Now, Let us leave English class for today. LOL!

Axia, I want another trivia question unless, in some mysterious way my answer to the color of the stormtroopers is wrong. It isn't, is it?

Or, are the stormtroopers some off-white colour? I mean you did want a simple answer, did you not?

If you wanted a simple answer then my answer is white.

ANHR alone puts the whole saga dvd collection to shame. Take that george lucas.

But I gotta give george lucas kudos for changing his mind about a Mutt Williams and the ancient Indy movie.

I spell 'colour' like that, too. I used to get bad marks in English class for spelling it that way. My teacher would go "It's 'COLOR' not 'COLOUR' ". But, I noticed that the English spell 'colour' like that, and seeing as Americans use their language, we should spell things correctly.

......and yet you fail to capitalize "Americans". Hmmmmm.......I think a few more bad marks are in order.

;-)

There are quite a few other errors, Indeed

It could have been re-written to be clearer, as well.

And, as a side note, we Canadians are forced encouraged to spell like our friends 'across the pond' (well, the English ones, at least).

:P

sorry, I could not resist correcting Indead LOL

They can be really sleak and beautiful in TPM and then get worn and crappy looking as the movies continue on.

I dont use twitter because Oprah endorses it LOL. Oprah has more power than the president hell she got him elected.

Really these revisitations give me a chance to enjoy star wars like somebody who hasn't seen them yet. I watched ANHR with the mindset of Dont look for the improvements just watch it as a brand new film. But with my obsessive love of star wars I couldnt help but say Yay no jabba, Yay han shoots first, Yay the cantina scene is badass, Yay the battle of Yavin is really a battle instead of 7 guys shooting at each other.

Damn decent of him. I dont have anything against shia but I dont want him to the lead of any of my favorite films. Though a spinoff thing wouldnt be too bad. But he cannot lead an Indiana Jones movie if Indiana Jones is a secondary character.

That is what he has stated several times.

Garindan The Kubaz HELL YEAH. Matt Busch creator of You Can Draw Star Wars thought he was Darth Vader when ANH came out LOL

Histeria said:

Agree with the above (perhaps "LOCAL HERO TO WED" would be more like an actual headline). It acts as a nice segue into the next scene, and is snappy enough to read in the brief shot.

BTW, I see Frank Marshall has just confirmed Indy 5 is at the development stage.

Hopefully there will be less fan-editing to do on this one. ;)

HHHMMMM!!!!! according to George Lucas he is gonna pass sean connery's torch to harisson ford for this one. So Indy will call mutt junior whilst still being badass. I could see it working but I dont need another INDY movie. They ended at Last Crusade for me.

I dont see any black blobs really. I must be blind.

You probably are. Or your monitor isn't calibrated.

 

OOoh now i see them, That must be a problem with the upload or even the source images. I dont have the PT on dvd only VHS so I couldnt use VLC to get stills.

That actually looks more worn out than the OT millenium falcon. I am talking a very clean streamlined hot of the assembly line Falcon.

I wouldn't mind seeing xwing prototypes in the prequels. They could show several millenium falcons only slightly different because han modified his. The ships are like cars they sell more than one of each model. So there should at least be hundreds in the galaxy. If someone could make a millenium falcon that doesnt look like a piece of junk then it would make logical sense. Han was basically flying a muscle car that had been fixed up enough to drive. It would have been clean and shiney in the PT era.

I'm of two minds about LFL's decision to release Star Wars without the "Episode IV" tag on the GOUT.

On the one hand, I'm very glad, as it means the video side is exactly what was seen in theaters in 1977 instead of more of GL's revisionist BS.

On the other hand, it pisses me off to no end that they clearly have a good-quality print of the original but didn't use it - after all, it's VERY clear that the entire first shot is a brand-new transfer from the original elements, and it looks pretty damn good.  That alone was as much an insult to the fans as the decision to release the 1993 letterbox LD masters was - "Yeah, we *said* this is all we have, but we're gonna show you just a little bit of what we *really* have, just to show you that we *could* do what you ask, but we're not going to."  Ugh.

I always imagined the process of the GOUT to DVD transfer as some fat guy living with his parents with george lucas standing behind his computer chair saying alright I have these laserdiscs could you burn them to dvd. They are a little dirty but the fans wont mind.

Though some may say the GOUT was a big assrape to Star Wars or It was the greatest thing ever I am somewhere in the middle. If george lucas released the OOT on blu ray in 1080p fully remastered I would be happy as can be BUT it wont happen and I guess I have to live with it. I can just enjoy the GOUT like i did my VHS's  back when I didn't care how movies looked. But the thing is the films were shot in super 35 film. They should make them look crystal clear. 1080p has nothing on the upscaling capabilities of the actual film. Does george not like us or something. Why did we decide that 1080p was the new standard. We can go much further than that technology hasnt limited us to 1080p. Hell if we are going digital we could atleast take it way up the ladder instead of setting 1080p in stone. Why am I asking questions without using the question mark.

why does george hate his original films so much. He would be just some guy that directed american graffiti if he didnt make them. He would have no legacy. He just ignores them like the holiday special. He wants nobody to remember them the way they were. Ridley Scott released all version of blade runner in beautiful quality. He didn't ignore any version of his film. George will re do star wars and forget about past releases. One of these days the 2004 dvds will be left behind and we will have new special editions that noone will like
