how can I watch the original '77 star wars?

All these are wrong. The only way right now to actually watch the pure 1977 Star Wars as it was originally released in theaters is the Silver Screen Edition, seeing as that is literally a scan of a 35mm print shown in theaters. The others are all either ever so slightly revised, be it the ANH title or an audio remix, or in the case of Despecialized, cobbled together from various sources. None of this is a big deal of course, but if you want to get nitpicky and technical, SSE is really your only totally “pure” option.

By that logic, if I accidentally make 1 pixel turn white for 1 frame, I make a new edition?

The Dream of the Giant Fractal Woodlouse.

Ugh. Probably the worst dream you can have:

Waking up, doing your morning routine (hygiene, breakfast, getting dresses), heading out to work, working for like 6 hours and then waking up and realizing it was all a dream. But you’re tired anyway as if you actually worked for 6 hours and you have got the entire 8 hour long shift ahead of you.

FFS I hate my brain.

  1. Official DVD release - Limited Edition - might be expensive to come by. Look on ebay, amazon or country-specific e-shops. This release suffers from washed out colors and low resolution, looking more like a VHS release than a DVD.

  2. Offical VHS release - There were many VHS releases but the best one is “The Faces” box set - a box set with face of Yoda, Vader and stormtrooper on the front. Obviously looks like shit since it’s a ~30y old technology. Again, look around ebay (some e-shops might have it but probably not).

  3. Official Laserdisc release - Probably the best looking official release, depends on the state of the laserdisc you get. As previously, look on ebay (some e-shops might have it but probably not).

  4. Harmy’s Despecialized Edition - The best looking version you can get. Created by a member of this forum, Petr Harmy, it combines footage from the special editions, film scans and the 2006 DVD to create a high-quality version of the entire Original Trilogy. The movies are in 720p with a very high bitrate, resulting in astounding quality - IMHO better than the official Blu-Ray, which had more than twice as many pixels to work with. The current versions are 2.7 for A New Hope, 2.0 for The Empire Strikes Back and 2.5 for Return of the Jedi. These can be found at various torrent trackers, such as KickassTorrents or ThePirateBay, but you may only find low-quality encodes, gigantic and for many people impractical MKV files or outdated versions. The best place to get the Despec. Edition is on MySpleen, which is a private torrent tracker for which you need an invite, but to get that you need to cement your position as a good user. Of course, it is illegal to download Despecialized Edition, so before you go look for it, make sure you own the official Blu-Rays.

911 jokes should an automatic permanent ban. I don’t find them the slightest bit funny, but I do find them extremely offensive.

Indeed. Hansi was no problem to me before but this is unacceptable. Thousands of innocent people died. It’s not a laughing matter. Period.

Hansi, listen to the calls made by those locked in those towers and rethink how comedic that is. You should be ashamed of yourself.

How he is not banned yet is astonishing.

Comedy = Tragedy + Time

And 15 years is enough Time.

Okay, let me try.

Am I funny yet?

No cause that joke makes no sense.

Did you hear Anne Frank died?
-I bet she did nazi that coming.

That’s better (though still bad cause its the worst pun ever)

Can you please tell an infant mortality joke? I love those and I’ll bet you’ve got some good ones. Ideally, make it about my daughter. Nine years should be long enough.

I’ve got a couple but I ain’t stupid you know. I can see the bait.

I don’t like Superman: The Movie either.

Pushing aside all my issues with Clark’s characterization, I still hate everything pertaining to Luthor, Otis, and that dumbass ending.

It’s baffling that it’s a 4 stars on RogerEbert.com. Man of Steel is leaps and bounds ahead of the first superman.

If you don’t like the first Donner Superman, that’s fine. But saying Man of Steel is better? 'Em is fighting words!

Man of steel is deeper, better acted, better characterization (surprisingly enough) all IMO

haha no
