The DC Extended Universe
Time

Does anyone here own WW84? Is the image really supposed to be some kind of 80s throwback where you can see static flashes dozens of times and weird light lines going through the image like you’re watching some CRT/VCR thing? I have 2 copies and they both have the same issues. I didn’t find any review that says this is supposed to happen. I also did not see the movie in the theatre so I don’t know what it supposed to look.

General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread

I think she sounds bitter and spiteful more than anything else. Like the guy who played Boba Fett for the Jabba scene in ANH whining about the name of Fett’s ship. OK, maybe not that bad…

Still, I find her critiques paper-thin more than anything else.

Those are pretty much the same critiques anyone has had if they have had any. There are always people who take critique as bitterness if they can make a possible reason why whatever the subject would be. I can’t see how the fundamental flaws of the films are paper-thin.

Prediction for Star Wars X, XI, and XII

Actually, I used to think Episodes 10-12 were inevitable, but now I don’t. Lucasfilm is definitely going to be putting more time into Disney+ shows from here on out, and while both spinoff movies were outperformed by all three ST movies, I don’t think that has anything to do with them being spinoffs. It just doesn’t look like they have a reason to make an Episode 10.

Just give it time, it is inevitable. Like there was no interest in the Matrix after the trilogy and 20 years later there will be a fourth one. I’m surprised if there is no Episode X in the next 50 years. At the same time I really don’t want it to happen.

Small details that took you <em><strong>FOREVER</strong></em> to notice in the <em>Star Wars</em> films

Speaking of small details, does anyone still know what the intercom voice says here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKs0iI68Rx8&t=30s
I have some idea but I still don’t know for sure what he says.

“Media Squad, prep your team and check any power (powdered?) supplies.”

Maybe. The sounds change based on what I’m expecting to hear.

That’s a tough one. I couldn’t make out anything at first, but now think NeverarGreat is very close.

  • “… squad, prep your team and check …” sounds spot on.
  • “Media” has the right sound, but the context doesn’t fit. Due to the sudden cut to this scene, perhaps there’s something before the “edia” sound that was lost in the editing?
  • My ears hear different vowel sounds (as well as a different rhythm) at the end: I don’t think it’s “power supplies”, but confess not to have a better suggestion at present.

Someone once suggested it’s meteor squad but I don’t know if that makes any more sense.

I’ve come close to: Perimeter squad, report your team to check gate 90 fox. That doesn’t make sense…

Also, for some reason, I thought Han’s line “He’s the brains, sweetheart!” was actually “Leave the brains, sweetheart!”

I heard it “Peas for brains, sweetheart!” LOL.

Movies/TV officially released for free (YouTube, Vimeo, etc. finds)
Time

I know that this forum isn’t really the target audience, but the full series and spin-off of the popular H2O: just add water is available on YouTube and even with different languages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVIVA48Td4JUKj1yBIy_mCg It’s a well produced Australian teen show of mermaids that’s funny and good family entertainment. For such a good show with millions of viewers I’m surprised it’s fully on YT.

<strong>Star Wars: Droids</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread

I posted this yesterday in the wrong (preservation) thread. This would be a proper place for it.

LexX said:

Having just watched the whole series, it seems to be untouched otherwise except for the last regular episode. They have digitally altered the colors on the droid mirror. I made post about this on the SWT forum with pics.

Time

I really love the Droids score. Of course it has nostalgic feelings for me but still, it captures a lurking and eery danger very well. I’ve always seen the series dubbed, only a few times in its original English and I’m watching it now again. I have to say I prefer the dubbed version. It was dubbed in the 90s so it had some cool teen lingo which made even Tig and Jord actually cool characters. In English Jord is just dumb and simple and Tig lacks any personality. And yes, it has some funny jokes that are long gone from the franchise.

I abhor the &quot;X undoes Y's accomplishments&quot; criticism so much.

What people don’t understand is that everything is temporary.

Sure, in real life. But if you make classic movies there should be some sort of respect given to them. Same could be said about Terminator franchise. We’re supposed to care about John Connor for basically 5 movies, and now the newest kills him pretty much right after one of the best endings in film (T2).

Movies aren’t temporary, they are forever. (That’s actually something that Schwarzenegger said.) And it is true. Sequels should show some respect but these days they’re all quick cash-grabs that will be forgotton after a couple of years since more cash-grabs are coming in the pipeline. What I hate is that from all the movies you could possible imagine and make, why make something that just poops on classic movies. It just shows that there is no actual interest to make something new and imaginative but just be controlled by money.
