Have we ever gotten an update from/about Wook?

At this point I fear the worst. He’ll be missed.

To be honest, I still don’t quite understand what it means for this to be released for IMAX… just that it’s being shown on IMAX screens (so just a marketing push)? I mean, obviously it’s not filmed for IMAX, so I’m not really sure what makes it necessary to be advertised for that format.

Some people will be tricked into paying more money for a ticket

Wouldn’t be too different from seeing a 70mm blowup from back in the day.

Just wanted to chime in how happy I am to see that this is finally happening. This site and the projects it spawned really changed my life and I’m glad to see all the work done here finally moved the needle towards the end goal.

It’s finally over.

Has anyone heard from Silverwook lately?

Wook hasn’t been active in over a year now, and hasn’t posted on the forum in nearly three. I hope he’s alright, he mentioned having a lot of health problems in recent years. Will miss seeing him here regardless, but he put up with a lot of nonsense too, so I don’t blame him for spending less time here.

Since I still get asked about this after nearly 10 years, I thought I should mention the theatrical cut has officially gotten a 4K restoration that will premiere at the Academy Museum in May.

A long time coming.

I seriously don’t know how much longer I can go on like this. Life really is putting me in the shitter.

Go outside. Stop spending so much time online. Go to the gym. Look for real, genuine friends (not internet “friends”). Look for a meaningful, long term relationship, not just getting off. If you’re unemployed, get a job. Stop watching porn. None of this is new to you because you’ve talked about stuff like this in this thread before, but you have to stop talking about it and start acting. Nobody’s going to pull you out of your misery but yourself. It’s way easier said than done, but you will do it eventually. Your attitude that you can’t go on much longer like this is correct. Your suicidal ideation is not because you want to die, but because you don’t want to continue living the way you are. Every day you indulge in the behaviors that make you miserable achieves nothing but delaying your rehabilitation by a day.

My sexual fetishes and sex drive are becoming a damned serious problem.

And for the love of God, stop posting shit like this on a public forum and just fix it.

Actually great advice.

He is definitely remembered here. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed. You’ll find us asking where he’s gone from time to time, years after he was last active. A great loss, I’m very sorry for you and your family.

I unfortunately have had some minor complications with both eyes requiring further surgeries to fix. I will be out of commission for most of this week for the first of these. The other two procedures haven’t been scheduled yet.

Good luck, Wook.

Taking some time off to finally get my long delayed cataract surgery. Not looking forward to it, but I’d rather endure some short term discomfort than go through life fearing walking into an open manhole cover. It will be nice to see the world clearly again, especially pedestrian crossing lights.

Anchorhead, Jason, and Tobar will still be on the job in my absence, so pester them, be excellent to each other, and try not to burn the forum down, please? Thank you! 😃

That’s excellent, Silverwook! Hope the recovery is going well.

Last I heard, he has a YouTube channel and is doing well.
