Oh yeah, I forgot about that clip.
Too bad it's so short, I wanna hear more of it.
Hi-ho Google, away!
Too bad Peter Sellers died before Sir Alec, the man could to a spot on Guinness IMHO.
Any other actors that can do a good Alec Guinness out there?
That reminds me, a short while ago I happened to stumble upon a website by one "patman", who among his many interests did list "Star Wars". I do wonder if it was our own patman?
I will never quit chocolate, ever. I'll lose my legs to diabetes and still keep on eating chocolate.
Then we can dig it! :)

But also the fact that good old percussive maintenance has always been a favourite, since washing machines and Tv sets came into our homes.

So I was looking around for what kind of '2-3 year old' merch was available. This 9" 'talking' Chewbacca plush seemed the best bet...

awwwww that's adorable! :D
This is the first time in 26 years I'm thinking "I want THAT for Christmas!!!"
Why am I all misty eyed all of a sudden?
That's a good way to put you off smoking, hopefully forever.
I'd do it, but I Iost everything I had last november when my hdd crashed.

LOL I have the 1997 version. I don't know if it's the same as the thx release.
but we do have the 1995 thx audio, two people gave it to us and we saved it for archival purposes, remember? Or did you delete it?
If you don't have it anymore, it's on Andrea's OUT.

So if I get this straight, the "new" cue was introduced at some stage during mastering of the 1995 French and Spanish TXH LD&VHS ?

I'm still waiting to hear back on two things:
- some level of certainty (probably not a lot, but more than I have now) about which of our other 1977 foreign dubs were like this theatrically (I'm sold on Spanish, likely sold on French, and on the fence with Italian)
Theatrically? I will put money on this that none of them had the music. Not the spanish, not the french, german or italian. The odds and evidence are against it.
I would agree, except Laserschwert has access to a 35mm German film print with that extra music present. So it's there for German theatrically for sure, and it was scrubbed out for some German home video releases and the GOUT, which matches exactly what we've seen for the other languages so far.
I'm just trying to piece together an audio timeline that can explain all of this, and the most logical one says they've all got it, then they all got scrubbed for home video, then when they went back to do THX, they forgot to re-scrub it out. I think the evidence is weak, sure, but it's in favor of it being a theatrical element.
huh. I did not expect that. Very interesting.
Still, I think we need more theatrical evidence JEDIT for the other languages (i.e. very early tape masters maybe?).
As stated on the other thread my tape is from 1991 and most likely uses the 1985 IP, no Greedo subs, opening and closing credits are spliced in from another telecine (possibly an earlier release, who knows). It's what I'd call an "International master". The audio is pitched down, so it was tampered with. Still, the notion that there was music and they got rid of it in post sounds unlikely to me. Mostly because the track does not sound like a remix, while the THX track clearly is and a very bad one at that. There's bleeding of the english voices in the bass frequencies throughout the whole movie, and whoever did it mixed a music/effects track with an italian track that was already a mixdown, and not a voice only track, so there's all sorts of horrible delay artefacts on the score and sound effects throughout the whole movie.
thxita should still have a copy of the italian thx track. Could you look that up for us, sugar?

THX release, uh? That's the one you adore Leo, isn't it?
ha ha ha very funny ;P
I've listened carefully to my 1991 vhs, the music is not there. And I won't even check the gout cause I'm sure it's identical.
I listened to the french thx master, that cue sounds really out of place. Must've been one of the many mistakes in their mastering process.
I must say I never (consciously) noticed any difference. Will check and report asap.

If Laserdiscs are the primary unit of currency, what would the smaller denominations be?
Using the British Pound as an example, I propose...
Laserdiscs = £1
D-VHS Tapes = 50p
MiniDiscs = 20p
Betamax Tapes = 10p
5¼-inch Floppy Discs = 5p
SACDs = 2p
Wax Cylinders = 1p
hey! where do cassette tapes and 8-tracks fit into all this? :(

I really am glad that everybody's cool now.
I take this occasion to apologize to Dr Crow for lashing out at him like a cowardly rottie. It was a crappy thing to do given the bad place he was in. Sorry for the mean shit I said to you Crow.
Had you never heard it before? It' s biblical IIRC.

It's hard to remember how much I lasted, last time I quit on March 2013.
A good guess is... until that summer.
As of now, I've been totally smoke free since May 15th. And this time I really feel better. I quit because I was sick of it. It was hard on my gums and throat. No cravings. I do think about smoking, but it's not desire. I just think "I used to do that.".After quitting, I've taken to riding my bike regularly (well, I haven't gone riding since the middle of August) and I've lost a couple of kilos. I've been trying to eat a little better, lots of fruit, less bread, less milk, less sugar.
I'd say fuckin A if it wasn't for my tonsils... but that's for another thread maybe.
