One of my Fav movies. I watched it just the other day.

This post reminded me of my excitement when I heard the Original unaltered trilogy was coming out on dvd before GL crushed my dreams by not making them anamorphic.


According to this article on a french website, the Z2 french dvd's of the OT will be anamorphic with 16/9 compatibility.


Can somebody who knows French verify this? Bablefih is next touseless on that link.

I have an account at StarWars.com but've never posted there, let alone read any of the forums. Can it be any worse than TFn?

Speaking as one who has been banned from TFn before, I kinda wear it as a badge of honor nowadays. But If you really are tired of StarWars.com go ahead and post whatever you want, whatever tirade, but in a way such as listed before, the logival reasons why ytou have had it with Star Wars. As your last sentence, say your farewell. Then in that way, you leave on your own terms -- before they press the ban button.

John Williams' Music

Too me, the PT score is competant but nowhere near as accomplished as his scores for the OT. Each score seems llike it only has one, maybe two really good memorable pieces in it. Sort of like tracks meant to be used as singles. But other than that, the rest of the scoe is unremarkable, especially for a Williams score. But we have to remember, William scores to what he sees on screen. If he gets a mediocre movie, he composes a mediocre score.

It just makes me wonder how Goldsmith wrote great scores for bad movies, though, like First Knight.

Why the PT fans love the PT so much, not as diehard as we think

The PT fans at TF.n are really starting to creep me out and they are starting to get like trekkies. I really think I know the difference in appeal to the PT fans as to the OT fans. It is fascinating to read what makes them love the PT movies so much, but it is alittle scary if you get through all the bull shit of what they like, and instead focus on why they like.

Hey, that's an insult to Trekkies.

Moving in from the Basher's Sanctuary (TF.n)

TwilekJedi wasn't the only one involved in the closure of the Sanctuary. IIt's a conspiracy that leads all the way to the top with everybody denying the truth. We get Strilo and Strype defending their actions in that it was time to move on and to let the issue die off, But it was the most active thread on TFN and had well over 900 pages. In the comes thread about the closure, most mods feined ignorance of the planned lock, but supported the decision. Political spin at it's worse and most obvious.

The Official Lucasfilm Response

it just irks me to no end. Lucas has vast resources and people willing and able to do it for him. This whole huge cost line is a crock. THe restorers would consider it a labor of love. Zombie I think I poted a link on the fact that Cellestial is restoring the over 700 Shaw Brothers movies. I own over 50 of them that have been released and the results are spectacular. And I think most people know that Hong Kong studios are notorious for how they treat their own films. It's not like these remastered DVDs are selling millions of copies, it's definitely niche, but they are doing well enough for Celestial to continue with the process. Yet Lucas and co keep spouting the spin taht the cost and the work involved is not worth it. Maybe not to him, but they are definitely worth it to the fans who actually love these movies.

Interesting. I was under the impression that "bitch" was never said at all. Is it on the DVDs? I'll have to check that.


I GOT TO SEE RAIDERS ON THE BIG SCREEN (MOVIE THEATER) A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT INDY DOES INDEED SAY, "SON OF A BITCH."


Hey I saw it in a theater recently too at SF's Castro theater which an old moviehouse from 1922 and seats 1400. They even have a guy come in playing the wurlitzer organ before the feature. So he played a suite from Advenures of Robin Hood from 1938 and ended with the Raiders theme before the movie started. Great to experience it in the theater gain with people who would hiss the villians, cheer the heror and applaud at the end. And yes, he does indeed say sonof a bitch. He also says holy shit when the nazi sub shows up.

Zombie banned? Fuckin A, man. I can't believe you got banned. So did I actually. I don't know if you read any of my posts before they got edited but I agreed all about the slant at TFN. I even called TFn the happiest place on earth and that a lot of people have been driven away to the outer rims and found greener pastures(hinting at the bashers abandoning TFn and going to the outerrimsieges boards.). This and the drama going on about how TFN is going through some of our posts at outerrimsieges shows just how insecure and power mad they are. Not only that, the talk about the films not the fans rule was first violated by comments like these:

jedipadawanjoe14
and the people at originaltrilogy.com or .net or wutever have the worst/most ungrateful attitutudes ive ever seen


followed by "they truly are the craziest people on the planet."

I wasn't gonna take that crap lying down so I responded twice and had each response edited. Basically I said that the people at OT cared more and put in more work into the original triloghy than Lucas does or ever will. But I pointed out how skewed everything is at TFN, and I think that was what really got me banned. The official explenation is for "completely derailing the OOT DVD thread with the discussion of fans a mere page after a very clear and very visible (and repeated) mod warning - especially since you've been edited for the same thing just the day before"
