That's about it. All that for $44. Solid purchase, no?

 

Sounds like it. I'm no expert, but I'm jealous, cause I only got two carts. I've had this thing since I was a toddler, and used it very little. It still is in great condition, aside from one of the joysticks (one of the wires got disconnected, I figured out how to bypass it)... 

I really, really, really hope for him his password isn't password.

It was the first thing that came to my mind as soon as I saw the thread title!

 Oddly enough, Lucas has one of the weakest understandings of what made it connect with people's imaginations in 1977 - if he even understands it at all.  In my opinion, by the way, he does not.

 I was watching the extra features on a Star Wars DVD, and I remember George Lucas kept saying "laser sword" instead of "lightsaber."

I think that's because apparently it was supposed to be "laser sword", but Alec Guinness changed it to "lightsaber" cause it sounded more elegant.

Teaser Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEDFGzqMgpI

 A little off topic, but does anyone know what music is being played over the trailer. I'd really like to know

Okay greenpenguino, you got me curious about that, so I went over to Soundtrack.net, as I find their trailer music info. is usually quite comprehensive there.  (If you click on 'resources' at the top of their homepage, you'll then get a 'trailer music' option.  Once you click on that, you'll then get an alphabet to choose whatever movie you're interested in)

Well, it turned out that their trailer music listing for 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' shows it as being 'The Four Seasons: "Winter" by Antonio Vivaldi.

But I'm not sure if that's actually correct or not, however. 

yes, it's been reported many times as being the first movement of "Winter" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and I'm pretty sure it is, too. It may not be very recognizable here because usually the piece is played at a faster tempo. Here's a recording with a similarly slow tempo:

EDIT

I stand corrected, the recording in the trailer is even slower, as the same bars of music that should be played in 40-45 seconds are stretched out over 2 minutes of screen time!

I looked more into this, as I've always wanted to find the original recording of this particular rendition of "Winter". But there was no way I could've been able to, and here's why: as it should've been evident from the start, the track is not played at a slow tempo, it is definitely slowed down, that is, it plays at the wrong speed. In fact, if you speed the trailer's audio by a factor of 55 (value used in Audacity), now it suddenly sounds familiar, cause it's the right key! :D It still won't play in sync with any other recording of "Winter", though, because it is chopped up, i.e. some bars of music have been looped a little longer than others, probably to match the action better.

But anyway, now there's a better chance (little, as opposed to zilch) that one may be able to find that specific recording. I haven't been able to match it with anything on the Internet Archive, sadly.

A film adaptation of the '90s kids' horror anthology series Are You Afraid of the Dark?. It'd be made in the same vein as Twilight Zone: The Movie, taking stories from the original series and remaking them for a new audience. Ideally, this take would be somewhat more mature than the show was, reducing the campiness, tightening the writing, making it somewhat more gruesome, etc.

Awesome, I used to watch that! I'd go see it! :)

I'll take the moonshine if you don't want it.

I bet George still misses Marcia....deep down.

I'd like to lock George in a room with a mad psychiatrist to see what happens >=D

 

A mad psychiatrist? Well, he'd probably slap the shit out of George with Rorschach cards...

Inspired by the song, "Hammer to fall" by Queen. Incidentally, try clicking on the picture.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the next party.
