Welcome back. Just wait a few more years, this will all be embarrassing by then too.

Transformers.

8mm. A format of unusually high quality.

Also, it is Kenobi that speaks to her. Ewan McGregor was credited as coming in and doing voice-over work.

I believe they also used a snippet of Guinness saying “afraid.”

Every time I hear the snippet, I hear “afraid.”

I know the original film too well…

??? I don’t think anyone’s forcing anybody to do anything. As far as we know, most people simply don’t care.

Also wrong thread.

I thought there was a good point about villains in this article:

“Our current reality is a complicated one, colored in shades of gray, and we’re well past the fairy-tale idea that in this world there is good and there is evil just because. Movie villains that are simply cackling wrongdoers in this day and age register as false.”

Maybe this is one reason why people have so much of a problem with paltry and secondhand Snoke character elements lifted from the Emperor - the Emperor was a villain from a more morally polarized age.

I call bullshit on that. Star Wars was meant to be a fairytale amidst all the morally gray films we were getting in the 70s. It was never meant to parallel reality. Why should it?

I found the CGI disrespectful and creepy, as has been stated already.

No a custom hybrid version I made for anh and revisited for ESB. I’ll be making a custom ESB also and an edit of rotj too but she’s ready to watch them so I can’t wait.

I’m not telling her anything about that lol I’m not saying a word about them not being the real versions.

If she’s curious about the prequels you can show her Frink’s edits and tell her they’re the real thing too.

You.

I like you. Please stick around.

It could be upped to another private tracker that still has an invite system if possible.
It’s less than 5GB, I’m surprised.

I’ll probably put on darthrush edit since I haven’t finished mine yet and won’t tell her it’s an edit. The only thing I really don’t like about rotj is some of the cheese at jabbas palace and the ewoks are just slightly too much. When it delivers, it delivers.

Agreed. I like the cutlist I see of that edit (minus no eyebrows). I should watch it sometime.
I assume you showed her the Despecialized Editions of the other two?

Imitation of Life (1959)

As I said earlier, last year I watched around 300 movies. I laughed a lot, teared up a little, was inspired constantly. But, not one of them made me cry. Not one.

I sobbed my eyes out for five minutes after watching this.

Today was a good day. I haven’t had a good day in a long time.

I wish I could help, and I’m sure I’m not the only one, but this situation is far beyond anything I can help with. All I can do is wish you luck and hope things get better. Whether that means he talks to you or you can eventually let him go, only time can tell.

darthrush said:

honestly, screw the prequels. I just don’t want Luke Skywalker referring to Darth Sidious. I’d rather have him talk about his legacy of saving his father and that effect on him. Him referring to things that worked well for me emotionally from the OT, and not from the PT, where I saw a bunch of souless monks get offed by troopers when they were meant to be skilled protectors of peace and justice.

Agreed entirely.

The Bishop’s Wife is kind of a It’s a Wonderful Life knockoff, and it ain’t half bad either. In fact, it’s really quite good.

They’re all mixed together madly. Some by label, some by studio, some by genre, some by director, then chronologically, and others by loosely being related to one another (Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and Alien/Aliens being a part of the “80s Sci-fi franchises” section).

Two or three a day, sometimes, if time allowed.

Y’all watch a lot of movies.

I watched 282 movies last year, not counting rewatches and shorts, which brings it up to around 345 movies.

The Secret Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939)
A grand Technicolor film with Errol Flynn from the Golden Year of Hollywood? Had to see it. Definitely not the best, but far from the worst. Bette Davis is great as Queen Elizabeth, I only wish the story was a bit more interesting.

I recall some programs being tossed in the past because they thought they couldn’t be recovered. I sure hope we didn’t lose anything, but I know we probably did. Had this been recovered 20 years ago, I think they’d have just tossed it.

I guess I should rephrase, no one responds to me anymore.

The site’s been around for nearly 15 years now. Lots have come and gone. It’s hard to imagine now, but the amount of time before Frink (and most other regulars I see besides Warbler and the mods) joined this forum is a little bit longer than the time he’s been here.

No one talks to me anymore and I’m not really sure how to change that.

Cast Away (2000)

It’s all arbitrary anyway. Makes more sense to me that the millennium started on 1/1/2000 so that’s the way I consider it. That’s the way most people consider it anyway.

So, by your definition we still live in the 20th century.

Sounds good to me.
