I don’t have any specific thing in mind at all, and certainly not anything against me. (He treats me pretty well.)
Welcome to the thread for pairing together other threads.
The idea is to pair two threads that do not address the same subject matter, but nonetheless would compliment each other as part of a meal.
(Additional wine pairing optional.)
Just temporarily, thankfully.
Glad you caught it! No worries; I probably won’t have the audio submissions all in until after Christmas anyway.
Well, I’m hopeful for a Frink more similar to the good ol’ days. We ought to be able to let one another know if we have a problem with something another party has said in gentle, civil manner, at least as a first response. Frink has a reputation for gunning it from 0 to 60 and stifles discussion. To be honest, I’ve often refrained from posting in threads, usually posted by the uninitiated, about topics outside of his liking, just to avoid having more BS to put up with.
He’s a fun, endearing gatekeeper, and I like having him around. But he shouldn’t have such free reign to crap all over differing opinions.
If I had the mad scientist capabilities he himself possesses, I’d probably set the Frink-o-meter to about 33%.
That sounds like a good problem to have. Like SW Legacy but don’t want the films split up? Commission a team to get ESB and ROTJ done as well.
Hell, I’d buy and wear a tee.
Well written. Certainly lends some perspective. Although, it doesn’t sound much different than calling AOTC a brilliant opportunity to give masochism a try.
+1 for lack of “slicer” term giving me a sad
As Hux delivers his Nazi speech, he falters, asking “Can they hear me? They can?”
Awesome, looks seamless to my eyes, NeverarGreat!
This means that now the only thing left is the redubbed line from the tech guy. I’m waiting on two submissions, at which point I should have at least three options to put up for consideration.
Good part about this is that I can go ahead and render the video streams. Nearly there, guys!
Chanting of “Grond, Grond, Grond…” can be heard as the battering ram is shown onscreen.
I’m just taking official word with a grain a ptooey salt.
I wonder how much of the schlocky stuff was Disney breathing down Johnson’s neck. The serious stuff feels more in line with his work, but the flat jokes, the children and the animals…that all screams Disney.
Read what he’s said about the film, this doesn’t seem accurate at all.
Disney/LFL’s portrayal of everything that has happened since late 2012 has been universally idyllic.
How do I make a thread
Can’t we let his opinions subside during his brief ban? He’ll remind us about them when he comes back.
Well, that’s probably a subject better discussed in its own thread. Way too early to create one for my project; the bedrock of the “TLJ Ideas” thread has to mature first.
Got the 3PO shot, thank you!
Thought you were going to say he wakes up on the island and takes out his lightsaber to commit Sudoku. (Humorous typo on purpose.)
The most Star Warsy thing I can think of, aside from the movies themselves would probably be a musty paperback of, oh, I don’t know, Shadows of the Empire or some other EU novel that isn’t far removed from the events of the films.
EDIT: Woooow, I really just did NOT read this thread at all beyond the title before posting. Well, I think that’s enough OT.com for tonight.
I liked Kylo Ren in this. He’s just after a connection with another human being. Like a recapitulated Anakin.
EDIT: Shit biscuits! We lost DrDre; TF.N ain’t gonna appreciate his coloring algorithms.
Oooh, gotcha. That’s not even the video’s title!
Thank you, Ridley. I’ve got those two audio clips set in place. The only things left from you are the 3PO leg shot without the added widescreen matte, and getting the Leia deleted scene to Neverargreat for regrading.
I’m also expecting two submissions for the “weapon recharged” line, and I plan to pit the three options (including the original line) against each other in the arena of this thread.
Once these forthcoming elements are cemented in place, I can congratulate you all on a truly excellent finished product. I couldn’t be happier with how V2(.1) has turned out. Once that’s done, I’ll probably have to turn my eye to THE LAST JEDI. I don’t have any clear direction yet, as the understanding and learning phase is just beginning. (Gotta GET the movie before modifying it.) But that’s for another time.
YOU GUYS ROCK
When we see Phasma unmasked, pipe in audio from the TFA teaser with Maz saying, “I see your eye. I know your eye.”
Looks like there actually was an agenda in all this ST.
Sadly fairy tales all root in the old world.
Please fire Kennedy
Please fire yourself (from being a poster in this thread).
Someone’s getting a little defensive.
I reckon he’s allowed to be concerned about modern day politics infiltrating Star Wars.
Right, how dare they give women equal footing.
Look, I don’t know how you personally treat women, but as far as myself, and I can only speak for myself, women do have equal footing by default. Any attempt to proactively give it to them feels and seems an intrusion in a fairy tale to me.
I have no complaints whatsoever with Rey being a female protagonist. In fact in seven it just felt right, it felt…casual, which is the best way it is supposed to feel. Normal.
But when you have 3 films released, all with female protagonists and even a last one where you have Rey, Leia, and the admiral character, which all happen to be right where men are wrong, and the underlying tone of the movie is “get off the old world” it just ceases to be “good” femminism and starts to become a misandric manifesto. Male torso is “sexually agressive” to Rey, etc.
In anycase, reacting to a film I don’t like based on its contents and complaining about the creative direction they are heading, which actually I hope we pretty much agree is diametrically opposite in terms of values to what Lucas intended to do back then, is one thing. Reacting to a member on this very community by saying things you don’t like feels like another.
So, in best faith and being completely honest, don’t you fire yourself from this thread. Neither will I. Learn to live with those that challenge your in your own neighbourhood.
+1
Well said. This isn’t the sort of thing that contributes in a meaningful way to my problems with the film, but I think it’s a fair point.
