Your post is more eloquent though. :)

Thank you. :)

I can understand Glover being upset over an actor being made up to look like him in BTTF II though.

 Yes, that I can agree with. I liked Jeffrey Weissman, but it's a shame they didn't give him proper compensation nor ask for his permission to use his footage, he was right to sue. SAG rules changed because of this matter.

I realised afterwards, sorry about that. I've added the link.

 Thank you.

I read the article, and it reinforced what I already knew from old interviews. Crispin Glover is a pretentious character actor who fancies himself quite the thespian, and who seems to have missed the point about "Back To The Future".

He says he hasn't seen it once since it first came out, he should. Although with his pre-conceived notions it might be hard to change his mind.

The ultimate goal is not money, nor does the movie ever teach "more money = happy life". The movie portrays a character, George McFly, who's bullied and has no self confidence. He likes to write science fiction, but due to a lack of confidence he will forever keep his stories in a drawer and chalk them up to "silly dreams", thus later in life settling for an office job, and ending up working for his bully.

Calvin Klein gave him the confidence to stand up for himself, end the bullying, and become a better person. George McFly becomes a writer, and publishes his first novel. He's happier, but not because of the money, he made money because he's a happier person than he was when he was bullied.

If you're forever miserable that reflects on your economic condition. Why do you think homeless people are homeless? Many of them deal with mental illness, but a good number of them, say, lose their job and they can't deal with it. Their life shatters, family members leave them.

I just don't think you can dismiss "Back To The Future" as a materialistic movie, or whatever you wanna call it.

JEDIT SilverWook is always faster! Maybe if I go back in time and post 10 minutes earlier... Hmm. BRB need some plutonium.

Could you link it? Can't actually read any of the text, too small.

Hello and welcome! You're in the right place. Nice username.

I've heard of some people pirating these, but I really don't want to steal something that has had so much time and love put into it. So...what do I do?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. You mean you want to watch the Despecialized but you don't wanna "pirate" it? You can't buy these. Do you know how to download from a torrent site? That's one of the options. There's more but I'm not that good at explaining, I'll let the regulars fill you in on this.

As for you last question, short answer, you can watch it on your computer. It won't work on a regular dvd player, wrong format.

Wookiee aficionados will get a kick out of this one

To be fair, I did want to hear it. I don't have a clue what it could have been.

It could be funny as a sketch, cause it's really out of character for him to retaliate.

Please don't. Those two comments you got were uncalled for. You literally said nothing and two people snorted at you. Ignore them, that was just noise.

I missed this. Could you provide the reference.

and a few posts later, ray_afraid and Jonno's replies.

To play Devil's advocate, if you think of a racist joke, you're probably better off not saying anything, instead of saying that you aren't going to tell it.

 I can agree with that, but sticking one's nose up in the air and going "harrumph we don't care for your kind here, funny boy" is a shitty response IMHO.

I'm going away, and I'm not coming back.

Well, to be more accurate, the version of me that has been here for the last couple of years -- the goofy, snarky, silly, absurdist version of me -- is leaving and leaving for good. I'll still be here, I'll still post, but don't expect any humour from me anymore; from now on, I'll be here what I am in my personal life: serious and humourless.

I've tried treating almost everything as a joke to cope with the emptiness that is my life, but it isn't working, so I'm not even going to bother with it anymore. I'll try not to be too morose or pessimistic around here, but aside from that, don't expect any pretense of chipperness from me anymore.

Please don't. Those two comments you got were uncalled for. You literally said nothing and two people snorted at you. Ignore them, that was just noise.

ray_afraid said:

 Yes, thank you for keeping your racist jokes to yourself around here.
But continue to let us know that you're willing to spread your idiocy elsewhere.

 Yes, and thank you

Jonno said:

Looking forward to finding out more about how edgy and taboo-breaking you are from reading threads on this Star Wars forum.

 and you for the oh-so-totally-necessary snide remarks. *claps wildly* Where would this forum be without the arbiters of good taste, gosh oh golly!

We now return to your regularly scheduled thread.

some funny stuff in the comments too

Thank you for that, your image helps!

I'll see what I can do to fix that.

A were-bacca.

I just want to know if there's anything wrong with the colour. It looks alright to me, but I'm colorblind.

Any of you guys with better eyes than mine (I'm colorblind) care to tell me if there's anything wrong with this picture? [click to enlarge]

The remix of the italian track was missing some words from the soundtrack here and there, that's what initially prompted us to look for the Laserdisc soundtrack.

MMMMHHH i T ' S   c O M I N G  r I G H T  f O R  u S ! !

It's like the man doesn't have time to Google anything.

Let's not forget geologist!

I called them 10 minutes later, but all I got was a secretary who hadn't made that call and did not know who I was. It was a mobile, so I'm guessing it's a company phone.

I'll call back Monday.

The one fucking time I get an important call for a possible job, my phone rings, and I can't pick up cause I'm in the shower!!!!

That's a page by the always excellent Leo Ortolani!

"We're safe, master! Good thing I was able to land on those schoolchildren!"

"The heart of the invasion is in Peacefool's capital. While I'm going there, you and your teddy will wait for me in this village!"

"But.. master!"

"No buts!"

"..terfly!"

"Peter&Paul... I wanted to keep this from you... The council of the knights has decided not to teach you. The say you're not the one. They say you're just a little ratman, like any other. And I have to obey the council."

"As soon as I'm through with my mission, I'll get you back to Desertia."

"What about all those microorganisms in my blood?"

"Keep taking your antibiotics."

"There he goes, along with my dreams... The one where I'm a knight of the horoscope and the one where I'm ordering a tea naked in a bar."

Whoa--is that what the Interrogation Droid looked like from the front?

From the angle in the movie, I always thought it was a floating black orb with hypodermic needles for arms.

Guess it was more of a giant black-lacquer dildo-totem...

TIL.

 Not sure if simply joking or totally unfamiliar with Daleks.

That localised italian version is obviously a post 84 version done by a TV company. A real localised version wouldn't freeze a frame to replace the text. I don't see the point in preserving it.

You haven't seen it in motion. It was clearly done on film, not on video. The text had gate weave. Besides, no tv master would ever end up on Laserdisc.

JEDIT: and on VHS, I almost forgot about the VHS release. This is what it looked like.

Remember "The Terminator" was basically a B-Movie at the time. If you think that freeze frame was half-assed, brother, you haven't seen nothing.
