^I sense another Lurker's name suggestion post.

no, I wanted to do that, but it's already Moth3r's user title.

or irregardless?

supereterodina, fonorivelatore.... Jesus, what was the deal with this localization?? Did they just take an electrical manual and threw in words from it into the script at random??

..... yeah, I'd go with "transducer", too, seems appropriate.

"Transducer reading : 5...."

You're doing a great job, erri_wan, I wish I could help more.

And kudos for translating "Il secondo tragico Fantozzi" into english, that must've been one hell of a job!

erri, I'd say "by thought transference", but let's hear it from the others

and yes, msycamore, just slow it down and it'll be fine. those weren't yet the days of tv exclusive dubs for movies, at least AFAIK.

Wilhelm is so overused it has become silly. Kinda like my nemesis, Comic Sans... Ughgh that typeface makes me wanna puke.

ba-boom-tsh!

What's gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow, gray, yellow?

oh, yeah, "folder"! of course, it's "open folder"... Ok, it was off the top of my head and I use a foreign translation of vlc, I was close enough.. :)

When old Ben imitated its call, to scare the sandpeople away.

On Vlc it should work if you select "open directory". Try that.

Years ago I tried to do the exact same thing on a photo I had, but didn't quite get the result I hoped for. But I definately got better in my ps skills. I'd love to give it a try, Sluggo, I like a good challenge.

I do hope by the end of the year I'll have a job and someone to celebrate next New Year's eve with.

yeah me too Warb.

I'm afraid I'll have another lonely valentine this year... yay... -_-

A merry 2011 from the 15th meridian! It's been 20 minutes into the new year already, let's hope for it to be a good year for everyone. :)

 Should some kind of 'restriction' be placed on them, not allowing them to do so? Should they sacrifice profit to avoid revisionism?

In the name of Art and Historical accuracy, I'd say yes.

If they wanna make money, spend money on a new show (I know, the easiest and cheapest way is the reruns)

If they don't all have the original voice maybe I'll wait and see whether or not they revise the Blu-ray. 

one could make a custom dvd with the original audio track for Mammy replaced from vhs, where available. :)

Well, to be fair, many times it is the companies themselves that, whenever they feel that somebody could complain, quickly rush to cover their metaphorical asses.

In fact, it was Walt Disney himself, if I recall correctly, that asked for Sunflower to be cut from subsequent releases.

And Tom & Jerry were censored, when sometime during the 60's Mammy Two Shoes was rotoscoped out of the cartoons and a thin irish lady was put in her place!

To me they should've never "deleted" Sunflower. That's not how the audience saw the movie in theaters in 1940.

You play the "it looks racist and demeaning" card, and I say : if anything, it should've stayed as an example of racial stereotyping in the early 40's. Just like the original versions of the OT should stay (in equal, pristine quality but that's another matter) along the SE's to point out that in the late 70's and early 80's there were no 90's cgi effects.

As it is now, we can't see the movie as it was in 1940 on the official dvd, it's like they pretend it never happened, and that's just wrong. If they think it was an error, just leave it there, but politely point it out on the dvd case or whatever. This way you're not butchering the beatiful wort of art that is Fantasia.

As with the other two prequels, right on the money!

Again, another way to stress the point of how Lucas COULD have made three good movies IF he had spent less money on special effects and computers and more money on people around him to tell him "No, George, I think this won't work at all"; to say nothing about scripts completed in mere weeks or months or whatever. I'm no expert in movie making, but I think even Cletus the slack jawed yokel would know that you don't write a script in, say, 6 weeks and have it come out any good.

I prefer the kind Vince is making ^ boats make me dizzy :D

This thread is now about.... Turkey! With... pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes...
