I’m not qualified to direct a movie but I sure as hell know that George Lucas has no fucking clue how to direct actors. Your argument is ridiculous.
As is yours because you seem to think you can direct a fan-edit that is liked and understood by anyone who sees it even though you don’t have credential to direct a movie.
Sorry, I agree to disagree with you on this.
conservative people need to stop correlating a “woman’s right to choose” as though it is pro-abortion.
But it is pro-abortion-being-legal.
Again, from a political perspective, if someone says “that should be between a woman, her God, and her doctor; not the State”, that statement should not be taken as suggesting abortion is always the best and preferred choice. ie. Pro-choice is not necessarily pro-abortion.
And yet, the Democratic Party needs to get away from this argument.
Until the Republican Party stops trying to deny access to abortion, there is no reason this should or will happen.
Do you have any reports that show this is an across the board regardless of the issue access denial? I haven’t seen anything yet that suggests they are pushing to deny access to abortion for medical/life/death to the mother or infant issues out of a persons control.
Unlike Trump, I never claimed I was qualified for the Presidency.
None of us did. It’s a ridiculous argument which has no relevancy. Just because I’m unqualified to be President doesn’t mean I can’t recognize someone else as being unqualified.
Being human is the biggest downfall of anyone in the Presidency. For all those complaining about Trump I have not seen a single person show they have an equivalent skill set that would even qualify them for such a position or for them to be able to say someone else is not qualified. Emotion, the second biggest downfall for humans, can make anyone an expert when things happen which they don’t like or approve of.
Unlike Trump, I never claimed I was qualified for the Presidency. I would never run and if by a miracle was elected, for the good the nation, I would refuse to serve because I don’t think I am qualified. If it had been Bernie vs. Trump, I would have gladly voted for Bernie. However, being a RINO(Republican in name only and therefore ineligible to vote in the Dem Primary), was not responsible for the the choice of Hillary as the Dem nominee. Besides, the Dem Primary was decided long before it got to my state. As for the corruption involved in the Dem party choosing Hillary, I don’t like it one bit.
You are one of the only ones to admit it and I thank you for it. I don’t think you could win if you weren’t running but I get your point. Hillary Clinton was chosen before the Democratic Convention even took place. They then took money from Bernie Sanders supporters, and gave it to Hillary, and she used it without issue.
As for Trump, he is as qualified as any political chump need be to run for President, it was the Democratic Party and the Status Quo that got him elected. Americans have long been tired of the “status quo” in all corners of the United States. Americans want the chance to live instead of just survive paycheck to paycheck. I don’t know where this Presidency will land but there is the possibility that Americans will get the chance they deserve. I supported Ronald Reagan and I hated Reaganomics. They did not implement it properly for it to work as intended.
I liked Obama’s unity ideas but it became clear after some time that unity in America was not necessarily the unity he was speaking of. I voted for Ross Perot when he ran because the U.S. needed someone who knew money and business to help fix things. I did not vote for Bill Clinton though he was my Commander In Chief while I served my country. I gave all these people a chance and I have no issue giving Trump a chance even if I don’t like him. That does not make me a Republican. I wanted Bernie Sanders but when it became clear it was Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump … I voted against the status quo because I do not support the suppression of success they hold against average Americans.
The Ocean-Filled Earth Gang never quits.
I do think both sides suck but I am allowed to have some optimism and I don’t need your permission or character bashing to have it. I used to like your posts but now they are starting to sound like others here on the board. You have given up your originality for the herd.
What I would prefer is for some of you to lay out how you could do what you say the President can not and how you can do it better. None of you do. You just bitch, moan, slap others that don’t believe as you do … it’s a joke really. Trump has always been the way he is … it’s not like he just turned bombastic because he ran against Hillary. Hell, you guys can’t even stand up for Bernie Sanders … the man who could have beat Trump but got cheated out of the chance by your precious Democratic party.
I am no-one’s judge and jury but my own. I have past experience in the Government work force and what I see as normal you all see as Russia lovers and Satan-driven p^&$y grabbing baby killers.
You want me to see your point? Get off your horse and talk to me on level ground.
I’m a hypocrite, I’m a liar, I’m a piece of shit because I think both sides suck, got it. Thanks.

Good to see you’re not going to let this one go.
I’ve now had the chance to sample the Matrix theatrical DTS and compare it to the BR audio. To me the two sound very similar with any perceived difference possibly being due to levels as hairy_hen mentioned.
That being said, there’s something about knowing I’m listening to the original theatrical audio that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and an outstanding job has been done syncing it to the BR so this will remain my preferred track for watching the movie. Many thanks Jetrell Fo for making this available. 😃
Seeing how the BD & CINEMA tracks are ± identical, and keeping in mind cinema DTS is presumably worse than consumer DTS, which is about half the quality as AC3 at the same bitrate, it is incredibly daft to listen to the cinema track when BD AC3 is available because you’re listening to much reduced quality for no benefit.
Oh, and thanks hairy_hen for explanation/comparison.
Maybe if you had given the thread title any thought, “DTS audio preservation”, you would not have been so dismissive. Now, if some older movies had changes and/or extended versions, the audio would not be identical would it. Anyways, this is a project I started and others were interested in seeing happen. I have taken this thread and project elsewhere anyways so I don’t update it.
If you have no interest in it, that’s cool, no need to come in here and pooh pooh it is there?
Thanks

Oh that silly little DNC … they can just take any money they want from other Dem candidates to support the one they want to chose. I think if these people had known that Clinton was always the choice they would probably not have donated. Then again, no-one was supposed to know Bernie had been cheated, but we know how this went.
So, zombie Andrew Jackson could have stopped the Civil War before it started?
Only because zombie President Trump said so.

“Nuh-uh!” “Uh-huh!” “Nuh-uh!” “Uh-huh!” “Nuh-uh!” “Uh-huh!” “Nuh-uh!” “Uh-huh!”
The Disney movie this brings to mind is far more entertaining than this thread.
😉
Imagine being this pretentious…
Imagine liking the prequels or the SEs.
Or the Disney movies, for that matter.
I like the Disney movies. I think TFA is good, and found RO entertaining. So, what’s it to you?
I enjoy the Special Edition Trilogy for what it is. I too enjoyed TFA and RO for similar reasons. They may not be entirely old school but movies are supposed to entertain not define a person who watches them and that’s all I got.
😃
This thread is starting to get humorous.
Vile? Maybe just honest. There’s some harsh but accurate criticism out there. It I’ve always known that and been able to take it on the chin. This feel like an inexplicable obsession. I need a distance intellectually. I’m still not sure if this is straight-up OCD; for it to simply manifest itself for No reason when I’m almost 30 just makes no sense to me. Why would that happen biologically? I’m looking at medication, but it’s a slow process, and that’s hard when you’re hurting. It’s hard to even want to get out of bed, much less excercise. But I know what you mean. I don’t self-medicate; no caffeine, cigarettes, weed, or booze. Just want the doctor prescribes. I just wish it was working better.
As we get older our bodies and their chemistry do change. It could very well be the case here. Since I’m not a certified and/or licensed physician I can only guess as good as you can. The fact that you started getting help was the right move to make. Keep moving forward. That is what is important to keep doing. I support you. 😃

Published April 30, 2017 by Zach Haller
On Monday, Senior U.S. District Judge William J. Zloch heard oral arguments regarding a Motion to Dismiss filed by attorneys representing the Democratic National Committee and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in the class-action lawsuit filed against them in June 2016, Wilding et al. v. DNC Services Corp. and Deborah “Debbie” Wasserman-Schultz.
The lawsuit, filed on June 28, 2016, seeks damages on behalf of plaintiffs comprising various classes of American citizens who made financial contributions to the DNC for then-candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders under the presumption the Democratic Party’s nominating process would be fair to all candidates running for the Party’s presidential nomination.
Article 5, Section 4 of the DNC’s official Charter states as follows:
In the conduct and management of the affairs and procedures of the Democratic National Committee, particularly as they apply to the preparation and conduct of the Presidential nomination process, the Chairperson [Debbie Wasserman-Schultz] shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates and campaigns. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and evenhandedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process.
The lawsuit was filed by Attorneys Jared Beck and Elizabeth Lee Beck approximately one month prior to the Democratic National Convention in which Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed the Democratic Party’s nomination for President following an initial leak by the hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 that exposed coordinated, behind-closed-doors efforts by Clinton, Wasserman-Schultz, and individuals within the political and media establishment to ensure Clinton was the democratic nominee in direct violation of the DNC’s impartiality clause.
Those following Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz’s tenure in public office are familiar with her long history with Clinton. In June 2007, Wasserman-Schultz was named co-chair of Clinton’s first failed presidential campaign. Following Clinton’s loss to Barack Obama, Obama then appointed Wasserman-Schultz head of the Democratic National Committee in 2011, replacing Tim Kaine. She served as Chairperson of the DNC until 2016, when she stepped down following damaging releases from Wikileaks that further corroborate evidence of collusion between the Party, the Clinton campaign, pro-Clinton superPACs, establishment media, and other entities in attempt to ensure a Clinton coronation. Clinton campaign co-chair and CNN staffer Donna Brazile would later be released from CNN following the exposure of her wrongdoing as well.
Following her resignation from the DNC, Wasserman-Schultz was immediately hired by Clinton’s Campaign, raising further suspicions of Wasserman-Schultz’s dedication to Clinton. Wasserman-Schultz’s public statement itself included direct references to her long-standing favoritism for Clinton:
“I couldn’t be more excited that Democrats are nominating our first woman presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, a friend I have always believed in… I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America’s future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory. Going forward, the best way for me to accomplish those goals is to step down as Party Chair at the end of this convention.”
The hearing Monday constitutes a significant milestone in the development of the case against the DNC and Wasserman-Schultz as Judge Zloch considers the defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. Beck explained the details of the hearing in a lengthy interview with journalist Michael Sainato on Real Progressives.
According to Beck, Judge Zloch posed detailed, pointed questions to both the defendants’ and plaintiffs’ counsel, which occurred over the course of several hours. Through their counsel, the DNC took the position that the Party’s first amendment rights to freedom of speech allow them to determine the Party’s nominee in any way they see fit without any legal accountability.
Defendants’ counsel also suggested to the Judge that because the terms “impartial” and “evenhanded” used in the DNC’s charter do not carry sufficient meaning for the court to adjudicate the claims, and therefore, the lawsuit should be dismissed. Beck notes the judicial branch and its seated justices specifically exist and operate as a mechanism to impose impartiality, determining who is to prevail in conflicts that arise between individuals and organizations by applying the law to the facts of particular cases independently and without prejudice.
Plaintiffs’ counsel argued that, in addition to the direct violation of the DNC charter, the DNC and Wasserman-Schultz’s efforts to determine which candidate would be favored for the Party’s nomination prior to Americans’ primary votes being cast is also a violation of Americans’ rights to free and fair elections, and the impartiality of political parties in conducting the nominating process is necessary to assure this.
No ruling from the bench was issued following the hearing; Judge Zloch is expected to issue a written order in response to the Motion of Dismiss at a later, unspecified date. Should Zloch, appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1985, dismiss the motion, the case will proceed to a Discovery phase, allowing counsel to conduct depositions (interviews) of relevant parties, including Wasserman-Schultz, Brazile, and others, to solicit responses related to the suit to be given under oath on behalf of the affected citizens claiming damages.
Transcripts from the hearing are now available.

The Philippines are our allies and they are in the range of North Korea so it seems reasonable that a President would try having some civil discourse with their leader to help bolster the safety of the region and any civilians within reach.
It’s not idiotic by any means but you can’t please everyone. Unless of course, one doesn’t care about people dying, as long as it isn’t themselves.
Duderte is still five cans short of a six pack. (Trumpy at least has five.) Must we always get in bed with morally despicable people? He’s as bad as Ferdinand Marcos and his crazy shoe hoarding wife.
The Suadi’s are our allies and they bankroll tons of crap that isn’t likeable but I don’t hear anyone bitching about them?
You haven’t? Then you haven’t been listening.
I’ve heard just fine thank you.

*screams internally*
I’m not saying nor have I said that it’s right but it is the reality of things. We didn’t like the rebels in Damascus but we armed them to the teeth to fight ISIL and they went and joined them instead of fighting them. How would you suggest we keep the balance then?
The guy favorably compared himself to Hitler!
Trump would have invited Hitler to the WH if Bannon told him that Hitler hated ISIS.
Enemy of my enemy is my friend?
That idea usually doesn’t work out so well.
My point was that it has happened throughout history whether it worked out well or not so why it should be so poignant now.

Look, I’m not saying nor have I said that killing drug addicts to clean up the Philippines is the way to deal with crime. The Suadi’s are our allies and they bankroll tons of crap that isn’t likeable but I don’t hear anyone bitching about them? The only reason any one in this thread is bitching about it is because it’s Trump.

Okay guys … just report it and be done would you.
