FUCK!!! Why didn't I do an April Fool's Day video?!
Haha, I'm just thinking about if the character's name actually was Red Leader. I guess Red Leader was born to be... leader of red squadron. Then I think about it... and realize that it's one of the less silly names Lucas has come up with.
I've honestly never even seen how that line would contradict anything that George pulled out of his ass later. Red Leader says that he knew Luke's father, and that Luke's father was a great pilot. Why even bother cutting that out in the first place? Anakin, even in the prequels, was shown (on rare occasions) to be good at piloting spacecraft, and he did indeed know people.

Are you sure, five? To me, it's all relative. Maybe the HD broadcasts used some other digital processing to counteract the DNR that was native to the film as it arrived to them. Without knowing both sides of the story it's hard to say who's at fault.
It doesn't really work that way. If they received a copy that was DNR'd, they (networks) can't just add detail back where detail was lost. They would have to have access to a copy that was intact.
Why not? Ever hear of a "Sharpen" filter?
Sharpen is still just interpolating data, not undoing alterations. For example, with C3PX's new, um, rabbi avatar. Say I copied that image for my own use. There's nothing I could do to truly remove that drawn on beard and yamuke. It's an inherent part of the image I own. If C3PX has his original avatar, then he's good. And I could figure out some trickery in image programs to make the avatar look similar to its original configuration, but I couldn't truly get it back to normal. Same thing in this scenario.
Nope. At this point, I don't know if even the OOT on Blu-ray would be enough to get me to buy the damned films again, but it would be the ONLY thing that would.
Because if we know anything about Frink, it's that he loves pictures of porn in his threads!
Whew, wow. A lot has happened here since I've been away. Logos have been created (thank you), ideas have been thrown around, crossovers have been suggested. I need time to think. Well, actually, I have been thinking. I just need a little more time. I have ideas too. Big, honkin' ones! And we'll just see if my ideas can mesh with yours. ^_^

Hmm. Close, but I don't think that was it either... It's on the tip of my tongue too!
Maybe someone should make that name into, um, hosiery of some kind? What's the word I'm looking for...? It goes on your feet... Hmm, never mind. Forget it.
Aw... I get the feeling I missed some nugget of gold with that edit.

And then, with a name secured, I would need a logo of some sort. 005 over there has his own logo. I need a logo too! But I know absolutely nothing about graphic design. It took me over an hour just to use the magic wand tool successfully enough to get that Dragon Ball Z logo I used at the beginning of today's video. So a name would be an identity and a theme as well. Hmm, what to do?
HELP!!!
Dayv would probably be a good person to ask about the logo. I believe he's pretty good when it comes to that graphic design stuff.
I CAN DO IT. PM YOUR LOGO IDEAS, AND I'LL DESIGN SOMETHING FOR YOU.
Awesome! Thanks! I'll send you a PM once I... actually have ideas and stuff. =P
And, C3PX, while that name does have some charm to it... it actually depresses me far too much to officially align that identity to myself. also =P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler#Health
Yeah, I know, it's wikipedia. And, well, technically, you're right. By my own acceptance of the term, one who "generally keeps a vegetarian diet but occasionally eats meat" is not someone I consider a vegetarian. Generally, the way I usually hear it is that his cooks would add meat products to his meals behind his back. I know that would make me pretty cranky. Might make me cranky enough to systematically wipe out an entire sect of human beings!!!!
Or, you know, maybe not. But then again, I'm not Hitler.
So anyway, another thread I'd totally forgotten. Geez, C3PX and I almost came to blows in this one. I didn't think that had ever happened. It's like this took place on an alternate earth or something. Anyway, I'm still a vegetarian. And while I've never considered myself militant about it, I am quite surprised by one or two things I said in this thread, although I still stand by most of it.
But, geez, that crack about Hitler being a relative? That's low, man. ^_~
So... The Fusion Syndicate? Does that have any support?
Alright! It's that time again, where I whine that I don't have a proper name or identity for my YouTube internet show, solicit you all for your help, and then reject all of your ideas out of hand! How could you not have missed this?
But, yes, I'm beginning to feel like Richie, Potsie, and Ralph from Happy Days where it became a running gag in the show that they were just "the band" because they had no name. "Gaffer Tape's YouTube Reviews of Awesome Candy-Creating Goodness!" doesn't fit in the YouTube naming box, nor is it easy to remember. I considered my segment name, "Obscure Nerdy Trivia You Neither Knew Nor Cared About," but again too long and not easily remembered.
Then I remember that I feel somewhat limited by my abysmal YouTube user name, MistareFusion, so I wonder if I should show some brand recognition and try to incorporate the word Fusion into it, like Fusion Theatre or Fusion Consortium or The Fusion Syndicate. But I don't know how much I like any of those, nor do I know if it's descriptive enough. Should I have some synonym of "nerd' in there? Geek? Dork? Socially inept, college-educated retail clerk? Possesser of poor lighting, computer, and camera equipment?
And then, with a name secured, I would need a logo of some sort. 005 over there has his own logo. I need a logo too! But I know absolutely nothing about graphic design.

HELP!!!
Because you asked for it! Because you demanded it! Because half of my total video uploads are from a single video on my roster!
A sequel...

Dragon Box Z 2: The Sequel!
And I swear that Wonder Woman is next. I promise.

I wonder who won the iPod...
Also, the Porn or Not Porn thread reminded me just how freakin' hot Alizee is. Ohhh, Alizee...! Ha! Not porn indeed!
Wow, I don't remember that at all, but that was all kinds of awesome!
I wonder who won the iPod...
The sad/awesome thing is that lately I've been having Full House dreams on a semi-regular basis. I'm really not sure what that means... Do I want to know?
Oh, and on a related note, Handbrake and I did come up with a safe word: "Mr. Woodchuck."

It's this sign that's the dunce. Spelling doesn't count... numbers do! Sheesh!
Come on! Everyone loves the Urkelbot! It's like regular Steve Urkel... but as a robot, man!!!!
Anyway, since this is apparently still my thread, I get to bitch in it. Editing new video. If Handbrake bends me over tomorrow and fucks me in the poophole with its sudden, inexplicable loss of all of its file converting powers like it did tonight, I'm going to take my computer and chuck it out the window.
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHDJFAKA;KLEJIFAIFJADKSLJFLIWAEJROIAEJFLISAJFSJRWELS!!!!!!
Yeah, you're right. It's Urkelbot all the way.
I'd rather make out with my Monrobot.
...
Okay, it's a start.

Would a perfect example be Batman (1960's), and his utility belt?
Beyond perfect.
I remember one episode in which Batman and Robin are dropped into a vat of sharks. Luckily Batman has a large canisterof Shark Repellent attached to his utility belt - just in case.
Gasp! How could you be more wrong, YIYF? First of all, this isn't an episode. This is the iconic movie, wherein Robin, in the Batcopter, flies Batman, who's on a ladder, out over the ocean to catch up to a passing yacht... which suddenly disappears. This leaves Batman floundering in the water, and when he's pulled back up, an angry shark is attached to his leg. Luckily, Robin has a can of Shark-Repellant Bat Spray in the Batcopter and lowers it down to Batman who sprays the shark, which falls back into the water and... explodes.
When you write it your way, it just sounds silly!
