Just seeing the colour correction you've done so far to this film is all I need to see to know this is gonna be good.

No no no, first i'm saying you haven't seen the original theatrical version of the OT, and secondly it's not just young people it's possibly old people as well.
Please list all the versions of Star Wars you have seen as descriptively accurate as you can. And i'll explain how you and possibly 97% of the people who have seen Star Wars have never seen the original theatrical version.
I haven't even seen the actual original theatrical version. Harmy's reconstruction is as close as I've gotten to it.
@Kenkraly2007 George has been making changes to Star Wars before you were born.
I've become embarrassed to call myself a Star Wars fan, so I don't even bother.
Just got back from seeing Super 8, and I loved it. I thought the children in the film were amazing, considering the fact that kids generally ruin movies. I actually cared.

Insidious - 6/10 (8/10 until the last 20 minutes)
Yeah, that movie was very promising. They ruined it by showing the monster. Which looked like an emo Darth Maul.

You can never go wrong with Summer Glau, though I agree with Ferris, the girl could use a few dates at the buffet.
YES! She is so dang pretty in the eyes and face, if she'd just get another 20-25 lbs to fill her in. I think she'd be absolutely curvacious!
She could have 20 pounds of my fat, and we'd both be looking good. Shame nobody does fat transfusions.
Qui Gon Jinn was a damn good robot. I just wonder if that was George's vision.
I got misty eyed. Yub Nub is so much better!!!

Well, technically it was a combination of traditional and CG animation (the Giant was CG), but that was pretty commonplace by that point as every Disney movie including and after The Great Mouse Detective did that too. But anyway, yes, Iron Giant rules.
"Hey man, we're in downtown Coolsville! Population: US!"
I honestly did not know that. Thanks! They pulled it off very well, fooled me. I didn't know there was other Iron Giant fans here. Good to know!
I loved Iron Giant, very beautiful. Steamboy is a japanese film that used the same technique, while the film sucked, I thought it was a very beautiful film.

I loved The Great Mouse Detective!
The Great Mouse Detective was my favorite film as a kid. It was actually my introduction to Sherlock Holmes, though I didn't know it until I had watched Basil Rathbone, how heavily they borrowed from it. I gotta say, it was beautiful.

I don't classify myself as a "kids these days". A "kids these days" would be one of those little fuckers that thinks The Hangover II is the greatest film ever made and that Katy Perry is the most talented musician of all time.
That made me laugh pretty hard.
Though I am generally okay with our nation's thirteen year old population as it is, it wouldn't hurt to have more of them like you.
What's bad is our nation's 18 year olds. Good lord, the mall has never been douchier.
There was a time in the 90's, when all I needed was grilled cheese, kool aid, and Gundam Wing.

I make one mistake! Compared to 98% of the rest of the internet, I'm a damn genius when it comes to spelling.
I guess Pixar movies are like Jelly Beans.
What is good to one, is absolutely horrible to another, and vice verse.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire by Steve Perry
Fun enjoyable story; unbearable writing style.
Steve Perry had a lot to work with, that's the only reason it was good.
Read a story he wrote from scratch, and you'll be burnt on reading for a long time.

Y'all who didn't like Nemo, fuck the lot of ya. :p
I loved it, repeat viewings of it diminished the quality. I liked Shrek the first 5 times I saw it too.

I'm really surprised how many of you like South Park!
Why is that?
Because I hardly know anyone in real life who watches it.
They all like that pitiful excuse for a television show Family Guy.
South Park makes fun of everybody no matter who they are, but in the name of comedy.
Family Guy is like a little dumb wimp who picks on the handicapped.
Here's my thing with Pixar movies.
Toy Story = Loved it, because I was little when it came out. I still like it. 8/10
A Bug's Life = Didn't really care about it. So I didn't really absorb it, though it's okay now. 5/10
Toy Story 2 = Didn't like it, because my little asshole cousin annoyed the shit out of my with Buzz Lightyear crap. As an adult, I fairly enjoy it. 6/10
Monsters, Inc = Didn't care enough to sit through the whole thing. It might have been good, but I just really didn't care. 2/10
Finding Nemo = Loved it, and still think it's good, but having to watch it all of the time ruined it. I watched it at school, grandparents, home, field trips, and camp. 6/10
The Incredibles = I didn't like it at first, but I've warmed up to it. I think part of what kills it for me is Jason Lee, I just think he's pretty useless as an actor. 7/10
Cars = Hated it, still hate it. It just isn't really focused, and isn't engaging or cute. I can't see how anybody else liked it. It bores me. 1/10
Ratatouille = Favorite Pixar film of all time. This movie is so beautiful, and well thought out. It's cute enough for the kids, and deep enough for adults. It's the perfect story of acceptance. 10/10
WALL-E = This movie is incredibly beautiful, and very interesting. I just wish it would go further. If a decent sequel is made, I will revoke my minor fusses with it. 8/10
UP = I like it for what it is. I agree that the beginning is what sells the film. Moments actually caused some stinging in my eyes and a lump in my throat. I think the film becomes boring around the time they run into Charles Munce. 5.5/10
Toy Story 3 = If there was ever a movie that deserved it's praise, this is one of them. I loved every moment, and I did nearly cry, had I not been around family, I would have. It was a far better sequel than 2. Though some of the emotional moments made me laugh, like the "Your momma don't want you!" moment. It came off as cliche. 9/10
Rating scale is based on Pixar, not overall cinema.

I might've taken your critique of Super 8 more seriously, but the fact that you gave Dumb & Dumber 8/10, my anticipation is stronger than ever.
C'mon man! Dumb & Dumber was one of the best comedies of the 90's!
Pretty bird. Yes, can you say pretty bird? Pretty bird, yeah pretty bird... Polly want a cracker?
I liked it as a kid, but I can't really watch it any more. Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey are so aggravating, while I generally love them both. I just can't watch a movie like that.

I really can't imagine South Park lasting any longer.
It got past Season 4? ;-)
...
Maybe I should give it a second chance on Netflix. I don't know if I can get past Cartman's voice change, however. They took one of the funniest and most recognizable voices ever, and made it 327% less funny. :-(
You get used to the change after a while.
I think he was funnier when he was:

And he's more annoying as:

His voice used to be one of the things that attracted me to the show.
South Park isn't near as funny as it used to be, but it deserves to stay on more than one trick pony Family Guy.
Depression is a part of who I am. As a musician, it's usually my muse. It sounds cheesy, but I'm a song writer. Taking away one of my ticks, takes away a piece of my soul.
''[Depression] sometimes gives me a quantity of creativeness. Art doesn't work without pain; art also exists for compensating pain." - Till Lindemann
Luckily, I'm not suicidal like some people get. I really enjoy living, I just prefer the quality of life to be top.

I've recently been experiencing a strange feeling of impending dread, as if something awful is going to happen but I can't quite put a label on the dog.
I felt the same a week ago, but it's passed. It's actually a big part of depression. Depression can make you feel guilty, sad, and it can make you feel dread.
I used to be depressed all the time, now I rarely get depressed, but when I do it's horrible.
