The post in question will probably not be edited, in order for the possible lawsuit at hand to run its course. It is expected from this poster that the proposed lawsuit is a bluff, and therefore carries no weight for DominicCobb.

Very nice, thank you for sharing.
I put together a second box for my silver screen / grindhouse set - these use 14mm cases so I had to change the dimensions of my box.
So now I have one box for Despecialized (films only) and one box for the 35mm scans. Next will be a box for the full ten disc set by njvc (probably three 3-disc cases plus one 1-disc case).
Why would you have one for Despecialized and another for njvc, seeing as njvc’s set is the Despecialized editions just with bonus features and menus? Perhaps there is a difference I’m not aware of.
Also, I’m curious as to what covers you used for the Grindhouse ESB and ROTJ discs. Thanks.
The audience was pretty bad. It gave the Farewell Address the appearance more of a rally than the final words of wisdom from the outgoing president, but that’s really the only bad thing I can say about it.
Trump’s Farewell Address will be a series of tweets.
hopefully, the Dems will filibuster any attempt to repeal Obamacare.
Dems can’t or won’t do anything about it. I doubt they will even exist four years from now.
I don’t think we’re in a Whig situation right now.
Obama, as the nation’s first black president, was/is in an impossible position. Do too much and he pisses off white people. Do too little and he pisses off black people.
Well put.
I don’t know if Obama has ever really taken a hard stance on race, he usually brushes it aside from what I’ve witnessed. He disagreed with Jimmy Carter when Carter suggested a lot of pushback had to do with his race and he also seemed to respond to the famous “Bill Clinton was the first black president” pretty well. Maybe this general brushing aside of race has helped to heighten racial tensions that we’re seeing today? I’m not sure.
Ich bin sehr gut.
I’m good at recognizing a Seinfeld reference and usually post it immediately, but was too late this time.
Cabiria (1914)
Neat silent film from Italy that inspired later efforts, such as D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance. Pretty cool, with nice characters, an epic plot, and revolutionary camera techniques, but not the best silent movie I’ve seen.

I tried to watch The Phantom Menace for the first time in a while today and my god it’s boring. I couldn’t sit through it. For all the faults to be found in AOTC and ROTS, at least I can watch them all the way through and get some entertainment out of them.
Funny, I’m the complete opposite. I can watch Phantom Menace but find AOTC and ROTS completely unwatchable.
Great speech from Obama tonight.
i agree
The crowd was annoying and I felt as if they weren’t really listening, which was disheartening, but Obama’s one of our best presidents when it comes to public speaking, right up there with JFK and Reagan, which is probably why he decided to have a crowd in the first place. So he does well on his delivery, but Eisenhower on the other hand was not that great a public speaker, yet his message still resonates today. So, on the content, how does Obama’s speech fare? It addresses a lot of what was predicted, and was very respectful overall (Obama’s always been pretty respectful to the opposition, when some people were upset in 2004 about W. Bush getting a second term he said a lot of the same things about getting involved in politics and I quote “Get over it. Go to the movies, go to the park, go on a date - get some perspective. Losing an election is not a tragedy. Tragedies are my mom getting cancer at 53 and dying in six months.” Okay, so maybe a little more respectful than that.). It went over all he’s accomplished, and called for us to pay closer attention to one another. I don’t think there were any new revelations made here, in regards to bubbles and everyone has problems and we need to accept everyone etc., but it was very well delivered. Obama’s thanks to Michelle and Biden was very touching and surprisingly personal, he was very visibly tearing up. It was an interesting experience, not bad but not the greatest Farewell Address I’ve heard.
It was prettay, prettay, prettay good.
It was nice to hear a heartfelt, moral message not overcome in division or partisanship spoken by the president in this very partisan, divisive time.
The Maverick at Cedar Point is the best roller coaster I’ve ever been on.
It’s lonely.
I don’t know, most people I know would say different.
Obama Farewell Address at 9 tonight, I’m interested to hear what he says.
This is a really weird conversation. We’re replying to months old posts as if they were written yesterday, the site has changed significantly since my last post over half a year ago.
What is everyone’s thoughts on an impeachment and a Pence presidency?
I don’t know what the legal requirements are for a hate crime, though — do people need to be a member of a minority or protected group in order to be victims of a hate crime, or is only the intent of expressing hate toward a particular group required?
I’ve read up on this in the past, it is the latter.
I kinda wanna read that thesis he mentioned…

Plus, up until about a year ago, even movies shot on 35mm had their digital effects rendered at 2K, which means that not only the fully CGI scenes, but any live action containing even a little bit of digital tinkering, are stuck at 2K, so for example the LOTR trilogy is in the exact same boat as far as 4K, as the Star Wars prequels.
For those little bits of digital tinkering in films shot in 35mm, I imagine it would be possible to recomposite the lower-resolution digital effects onto the original footage? Of course, that involves quite a bit of work, tracking down all the source elements and making sure it looks good. I imagine not all source elements have survived to this day, for some reason we aren’t very good at archiving everything. That’s where LucasFilm seems to do alright with, they have pretty much everything available in their vaults, but they don’t necessarily take the best care of it either.
Blu-ray has not been too kind to catalog titles in general. It almost seems the more popular the movie, the greater the chance something will be messed with. It should come as no surprise new releases like TFA come out unscathed.
Hi Steve.
