Word is, those 'censored' frames were inserted by a disgruntled employee and not added intentionally to the film.

On a more serious note where did you hear this, and how would he have managed it? Was he the animator for those shots? Well, *someone* added them intentionally.. :3

 From what I've read online, the topless model was inserted probably during post-production. But prints from the original run might not have been affected:

from IMDB.com

I met a film collector who had access to an original release print from 1977 and we went through it frame by frame. The images did not appear in the window, so it seems that a different print was used for the video release in question tann the actual theatrical release.

Then there's this excerpt from an interview that came out when Disney made Tarzan

Thomas Schumacher, Disney's president of animation, explained the reason for the company's caution.

"We had that huge thing with The Rescuers," he says. "A cameraman inserted a tiny two-frame photograph of a topless woman. It was meant as a private joke between him and his friends. Then along comes video and laser discs, and someone out there found it, so we have to be very careful."

It's not a "classic" in Italy, and many people will be shocked to hear, neither are many other movies considered so in the US, such as Citizen Kane.

Meanwhile, every goddamn Christmas, what's on tv: Home Alone 1&2 and Trading Places! People actually complain if they don't put them on.

Good luck man, and get well soon!

well, to be fair, the whole "feeding christians to lions" turned out to be a big fat myth, actually.

That was such great news to wake up to!
There will be much celebrating tonight. Coincidence that it was announced on a Friday...?
I think not!

Qualunque cosa succeda, Twister, ricorda che hai il supporto della comunità di Off Topic! Ricorda, puoi contare su di noi.

E, riguardo le lingue, un consiglio che dovrei sperimentare su me stesso:

My lazy life. Always:

From what I've read, the "rules" are slightly more complicated.

http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/grammar/tu_and_vous.shtml

According to that, not only can you say "tu" to twister because of your age range, you being a teenager and she being in her twenties, but as participants in an online forum it's common practice to just use "tu", whatever the age gap may be.

Courtesy forms are basically the same in italian, with one big difference:

the "tu/Voi" was in use until the 16th century, when "Voi" was gradually replaced by "Lei", which is the feminine pronoun, in its accusative form.

Wiki sez:

Lei was originally an object form of ella, which in turn referred to an honorific of the feminine gender such as la magnificenza tua / vostra ("Your Magnificence") or Vossignoria ("Your Lordship").^[11] Example: "Gino, Lei è un bravo ingegnere. Marco, Lei è un bravo architetto. Insieme, voi sarete una gran bella squadra" "Gino, you are a good engineer. Marco, you are a good architect. Together, you will be a great good team".

more on that here

http://www.pimsleurapproach.com/resources/italian/grammar-guides/formal-informal/

and here

http://italian.about.com/library/weekly/aa081899a.htm

The "Voi" form was briefly in use during the fascism, and still remains in use in small pockets in the southern regions, in some dialects.

Coming from a person who barely understands it, shouldn't you, Ric, use "tu" instead of "vous" when talking to twister?

He's apparently trying to be funny, but failing miserably.

yeah, how cute. In 1998 my hometown struck a nation wide record hitting 46.4 degrees Celsius, that's 115.52 for you Fahrenheit users.

As for humidity, I don't think it ever falls below 60%. Sometimes I look it up and it's like 90%. Definitely can feel it, some days you can hardly breathe.

Forgive the crudeness of the model:

VHS - 1980s

DVD - 2000s

BD - 2006

UHD BD - 2015

 What, you didn't even have time to do it in scale and paint it?

Also, completely ON TOPIC:

        After seeing "Return of the Jedi" Wednesday, I was left with    a question. I'm pretty sure that Episodes I, II, and II will be    about Anakin (Darth Vader) Skywalker and how he was drawn to the    Dark Side of the force (what is the offer he couldn't refuse?).    But, what will Episodes VII, VIII, and IX be about? Will the    Empire rise into power once more, lead by a sinister, new leader?    Or will a new enemy terrorize the galaxy?                        "The emporer is less forgiving than I am . . ."                        Danny Espinoza

Keep in mind that it was Chewbacca we see in the trailer, who looks very much like the Wookie that's in every other picture we've seen.

 I'm really laughing at all of this because had their been an internet back then...

 I'm pretty sure there are bbs posts out there, still archived, that date back to at least when ROTJ was released.

here's a compendium

Ewoks. Oh boy, now the rebel alliance has been saved by Teddy Bears. Give me
a break. Oh, sure, their cute as can be, but what the hell are they doing
fighting Imperial Stormtroopers? Ewoks are the kind of creatures that make us
want the rebels to win because they get slaughtered or something; they are
not the kind of creatures that beat Stormtroopers. And with what weapons did
they beat a squadron of the Imperium's best? Sticks with little rocks on the
end.

Thanks for checking out the stream tonight Bkev and whoever else was there, sorry I may have missed some of the activity in the chat room, my eyes were going all funny.

Suddenly the name Barf takes a whole new dimension.

May the Force be with you, Trident.

Always.
