I’m not going to argue semantics with you over something that doesn’t matter.

The unaltered cuts are more aesthetically consistent and flow better, and overall they hold up incredibly well without revisions. Despecialized all the way.

I’m not going to let you get away with this.

That wasn’t the point of my original post either. But you asked for me to elaborate on the Star Trek quote like you couldn’t figure out what I meant.

The DC of Star Trek II isn’t a different movie, it’s just a better version of the same movie.

No.

My feelings on this issue are pretty standard for a Star Wars purist. Dumb title and it messes up the timing of the music to the crawl. I call it Star Wars when I can. “The original Star Wars” when people get confused.

Mind elaborating what you’re responding to here?

Star Trek II’s Director’s cut is not better than the theatrical cut.

Considering the purpose of this site… I’m gonna go with the OOT.

George Lucas probably still has it.

Thanks Jason. A shame not all of it is archived there. I figured enough time had passed to give it another look. Ah well, archive.org is good enough for now.

The original politics thread existed from 2004-2016, with most of the original contributors no longer on the site, it would be interesting to see a thread that predates the social media age as we know it today. At this point it’s a historical document more than anything else. I ask for the mods here to reconsider putting out that original thread, even if it’s only accessible to members.

XP is not being supported and anyone who uses it today has terrible security risks. They had better update that system.

I hate the mandatory updates. I’m still running Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell.

Hi Bingowings!

That is a horrific proposition.

This, though my reasons probably differ from yours. I’m a fan of diversity; I wouldn’t want humanity to evolve into a homogenous race of unisexual androgynes.

No, that’s pretty much the exact same reason as me.

That is a horrific proposition.

Sorry to hear, hope for all the best.

There are plenty of other people who share your values.

I got rid of all my DVDs, but I have the VHS and Blu-ray copies of The Wizard of Oz, Cool Hand Luke, Princess Bride, The Iron Giant, Return to Oz, and The Royal Tenenbaums. I also have two Blu-ray copies of North by Northwest, in two different boxsets. That’s not even mentioning any of the Disney films I’ve got.

So, uh, The Timeless Children has aired, and, er, what the fuck?

Part 1 sets up this nice Cybermen story and then the Master shows up and derails everything to exposit Chibnall’s teenage fanfic as long and convoluted way of explaining the Morbius Doctors. Wow.

Pretty much this. No longer watching the show until Chibnall leaves.

Happy New Year!

This is fantastic news, even though it’s not exactly what we hoped for.

Hi Bingowings! Many of the regulars you remember aren’t here anymore, but if they were, I’m absolutely certain they’d all be giving you a warm welcome back!

We’re still talking about what happened over a year ago? Everyone actually involved has moved on.

Yeah. Harmy has been an enormous influence in my own pursuits to become a film archivist. Thank you, Harmy!
