Mother! Starring Jennifer Lawrence.

A weird movie about a cycle that repeats itself over and over, at least that’s how I saw it. I later found out that the movie is full of Judeo-Christian symbolism and themes, but since I’m not a religious person all that was lost on me. I also wonder if Jennifer Lawrence did topless for real or they used a body double with Lawrence’s face superimposed.

I think Jennifer Lawrence has already done topless for real 😉

(she obviously didn’t like the invasion of privacy, or having security on her phone, along with a host of other actors and celebrities)
 

A good and talented actress - a captivating quality to her, even when in films that don’t really appeal.

I have to say that I find this far less awesome after finding out that the artist actually cuts up comics to make these. Maybe I’m a bit “priggish” (not sure what the correct term is) about these things, but that seems like a really silly way to pay homage to something you like, especially when there’s other ways to accomplish this without having to vandalize actual comics. I’d also imagine it would get pretty costly, even if mostly reprints were used?

Does he not use photocopies of the comics for his art? (and not use the actual comics themselves)

Are there any new <strong>Star Wars Books</strong> coming out soon? a general book discussion thread
Time

I enjoyed the ‘From A Certain Point Of View’ book for Star Wars '77 (the better stories outnumbered and outweighed the bad for me), so hopefully the follow-up book, for The Empire Strikes Back, will also be of a high quality…

Health and Fitness
Time

I have to admit my fitness level has decreased over the past 2/3 months - even going for a brisk 30 minute walk can leave me a little short on breath.

Soon we will be able to do more - maybe get a cycle and do that, go outdoors and see some scenery, instead of the inside of the same 4 walls, and get fitter while doing this 😃

The <strong>random YouTube / Vimeo etc video finds</strong> thread for the Original Trilogy
Time

 
’Jason Eaton and His Incredible Star Wars Models | Our Star Wars Stories’:-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bhq2bxwAzg at the official Star Wars youtube channel. (7 mins)
 

"Jordan Hembrough goes to Baltimore, Maryland, to meet Jason Eaton. It was the behind-the-scenes magic of Star Wars and the work of Industrial Light & Magic that captured Jason’s imagination; now he makes models as detailed and amazing as the real thing. "

 

Some impressive models, skills and patience to do all that, but really amazing OT models, and looks like he has a lot of fun doing this 😃

I love the OOT fan projects here - yet still want an official unaltered OT release. You too?
Time

Absolutely I’d love to see an official release!

That is not to take anything away for the numerous fantastic projects that have taken place on here since the early days of the forum.

But an official release would make it easier for the many talented people on here to no doubt fix and put right (given that any official release would likely require some additional work, given the sub-standard quality for many of Lucasfilm’s releases for some time).

 

My reasons for wanting to see an official release are all listed above, but also because it is not right that Geoerge Lucas changes two films he did not direct. And then stopped people experiencing the original version not made by him. Then more changes, then more changes, then more changes and more releases - but the original films made by the Kershner and Marquand are still not available.

Disney and Lucasfilm should remember that (maybe they do - but do not care?).

❕ An <strong>Index</strong> &amp; <strong>Help Thread</strong> for <strong><em>Original Trilogy Discussion</em></strong> ❕
Time

Big thanx to the mods in creating these Indexes - they are very helpful and easier to find content via a specific category or subject.

I especially appreciate the Fandom and The Home Releases and Formats sections - they make it a lot easier to understand what is quite two large, complicated and easily confusing subjects.

 

12th November Edit…

I made a thing (or rather, completed a thing):

An Index of OT•com threads on all things the Audio of the Original Trilogy - in Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases

I thought I’d also mention it in here as there is content on the ‘index thread’ about Original Trilogy audio in general.
