There was Scooby-Dee, who was an actress. I think she was related, but both Doo and Dumb had the hots for her, so I'm not going to, um, go there.

Yeah, I'll be buying this too when it comes out. And I'll watch it occasionally with the rest of the PT. It is, however, the last Star Wars movie I'm buying (since there should be no more new ones), so no more crappy rehashes or special editions or magic CG Yodas.

Heh, that was a very enjoyable read. And while most of those particular character never bothered me (even Scrappy!), I enjoyed reading the manic bashings.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Well, I knew YIYF would make it someday. I am getting a bit worried about myself, though. I'm nearing 800 posts, but that a ways away from 1,000!

It worked in IE for me too. At least, as far as I can tell. It looks just like the link you just sent out, except that it fills the whole screen.

Yeah, that's the same thing I was thinking. It looks pretty good. At least it won't seemingly be a huge jump in terms of appearance.

I also think that things might be looking good for the franchise now. It almost seems as if the business is in a Star Wars backlash, rebelling against the huge hype for special effects and going for things that are much more gritty and character-driven. So maybe it's a good time for Bond to come back. And I like the one picture that was posted here of Craig.

Nah, it's cool.

And, yes, it does have saving. But only one save slot. And just like any other battery-backed game made at the time, you have to hold in Reset while turning the Power off, or you'll run the risk of losing everything.

I still don't think that any of it really needed a makeover. It was nice to see, but when it was all said and done, the movies were and still are strong enough to stand on their own. I think Lucas suffers from confidence issues. Or money-making issues.

When I was watching Star Wars earlier this week (the original version, duh!) I thought about the part where the ships take off. You know, that first shot when they leave the planet, and the lookout's in the tower. In the special edition, the CG ships turning around right next to him looked pretty cool, but I noticed they just didn't have the urgency those little bright dots in the distance had.

I just got introduced to Firefly yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to see some more episodes, so I can go see the movie. Looks really good.

Ouch, thanks...

Well, I can tell you not to ever, ever buy The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Or don't even play it. A bigger travesty of a game you'll never ever ever ever EVER find.

Heh, I'd forgotten I actually posted that. I thought I was just thinking about posting that. I think what worries me the most is it becoming more of a general sci-fi site. I guess I have some questions about that. It'll still be originaltrilogy.com, right? The petition will still be around, and we'll still be mainly Star Wars, right? Will General Star Wars still be its own section, or will it be lumped in with General Sci-Fi? Or will those be two different categories?

When the special editions first came out, I liked them. I liked them as an alternate version of Star Wars. I could watch my original tapes if I wanted, or I could watch the special edition if I wanted. It was only when I found out that the special editions were being treated as the only Star Wars that I got upset. Therefore, I don't like any of the changes simply because they're changes, and what came before them are now gone for all official purposes.

The Advantage is actually pretty fun to use once you get used to it. Because all my friends wouldn't be able to get the hang of it!

It just looks like an awesome SCI-FI type of hardware!

Well, I'd recommend the basics, like your Marios, and your Zeldas, and your Mega Mans. Duck Hunt is always addictive if you can get it. I've been having a lot of fun with Punch-Out lately. Kung-Fu is pretty good as well. Brings back memories, that one does. Final Fantasy... I spent $50 on eBay for it this past January (I made sure it came with everything it was originally packaged with, that's why it cost so much), and that game is really fun. Paperboy. Mmm. Fun but frustrating.

Well, I hope that helps you out.

Personally, I don't think he looks too bad. He looks like a Bond that came out of the '60s (don't ask me to explain it, but he just does). I don't really mind the hair, but I guess it would be nice to see a dark-haired version of him for comparison...

I hate that he lost the volley ball.

It's been over three years since I saw that movie, and it still makes me a bit misty. Poor Wilson...
