just an FYI for those of us in Canada...

Future Shop has got in its stock of Star Wars DVDs, although owned by Best Buy, there is no collectible tin so far....
i have went through all the promo material we'll be displaying for the DVDs and unfortunatly there doesnt seem to be any free swag if you buy from us...

i will keep you informed about anything we're giving away with the release.

I've realized that as you get older, the year goes by faster and faster. A whole years felt like an eternity back when we were kids. And this is due to us always looking up to some event in the future. The weekend. Some project deadline. Planned vacations. Something scheduled in two weeks or two moths. We are always living in the future, thinking about the time passing by faster and faster. And as we get older, we realize that all that time is not coming back. We are not getting older, we are getting closer to death.

spoken like a true pink floyd fan...

"you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking,
racing around to come up behind you again,
the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,
shorter of breath and one day closer to death"

lol
its so true!!

i remember going to see that at the midnight showing in my hometown.
i had school the next day but my parents let me go anyway just because i was such a star wars fan.

i remember feeling so empty when leaving the theatre. only two parts of the movie kept my attention. pod race and final battle. but there were so many cringe worthy moments. obi wan falling from like 10 stories and landing on his back only to jump back up to where he fell from?? when could jedi's do that?

i remember that really killing the mystery of jedi's for me.
they lost there mystery and grace. now they looked just like action heros.

i remember telling all the kids at school the next day that the movie was so great though.. of course i was still in hype denial. i remember they all gathered around me at lunch to hear what i thought. and of course i hyped it up even more for them. from that day on i will never let hype get in the way of my true feelings.

ahhhhh goosebumps!!!
absolutly great memories...

if you ever come across that short story again please i would love to hear it...

i feel that the only way that our kids and future generations will begin to understand the fandom of star wars is to relive it through the eyes of those who were there..
only then could they realize what we are all fighting for...

we just want our memories to stay with us...
keep these stories coming!!!

great memories by both rennervision and yanksno1.

i loved the small details you guys remember... especially the theater having lightbulbs under the entrance.
we had one just like that in my hometown until they tore it down.

and being too young to see the original in the theatre i like the fact that i can sort of live out my fantasy through your memories. very much appreciated!

and yes maybe you did hit a bone. i don't like people who underestimate my intelligence. half the time it's in a sexist way and that is what bothers me more than people saying 'oh you're a ditz'. i AM a ditz at times i won't deny that.

first off lets get something straight...
you said yourself that you were very punctual and that you typed in complete sentences and proper english... you were boosting about it in an earlier post.

now are you telling me that because i called you out on your obvious false claim, that i was in the wrong?
i never meant to make you look stupid. if anyone did that, you did!

so dont blame me because you cant live up to your word as you say.

but feel free to attack me and call me an attention whore for doing nothing other than point out the obvious. you'll get far in life with that sort of attitude.

lets just let this conversation die though, k?
i just wanted to make things clear to you.

but i really must have struck close to the truth what with you blowing up at me like that.
i dont mind though. your entitled to your own opinion.

however lets not forget which one of us has their own thread dedicated to themselves, in which they constantly have to flirt with other members in order to boost self esteem.

you should check out myspace, its full of girls like you who love to blog and constantly throw out sexual innuendos in order to gain acceptance.

and if im the luke skywalker to attention whoring.. you are my yoda..

Psst, you missed capitalizing the first letter at the beginning of each new sentence. Also you missed a comma after "complete english sentences". Also it is not good to start a sentence with "and". When did "FYI" become proper english?

you dont like it? fuckin leave...

im sure there are more important things in life than not being accepted on a forum...

Jay is right when he says too much whining lately..
every fuckin thread has someone complaining about this and about that... asking for threads to be locked blah blah blah...

put it this way...
as much as i like DAYV, he was one of the original 6 or 7 first members who joined the forum and posted religiously...

i must admit that it seems like he's posting his goodbyes almost everywhere in order to evoke a response from other members as to why he is leaving...
once would have done it man.

as i said i really like the guy but he's being a drama queen about things

Are you seriously trying to debate semantics here? You're from Germany - do you really need a lesson in regards to who ran the Gestapo?

"Jay is banned from our board because he attacked Dayv too much and too personal and we do protect our people."

I've seen posts from both sides do the same, yet no one is banned at OT.COM. Again, the facts don't support your reasons.

Oh, BTW:

QFT

"Free Speech in the way I understand it (and I am not responsible for things others say), means to be not limited or censored in the manner of speaking with reason."

Clever way to define "Freedom of Speech" as to make your own act benign. Doesn't change the fact that Jay is banned and you are not.

"Jay has been way mad about this matter and it is no wonder he is banned from our site considering how he behaved and what he said."

Again, the posts from you and the others have been no better.

"Trolls need to go."

Take a good look at the pic I posted. Who is advocating trolling whose site? Is this the kind of "speaking with reason" you were referring to? You seem to take offense at being accused of calling someone a nazi, and yet you did exactly that? Either you are very forgetful, or you are choosing to ignore your own misguided posts and actions.

Propaganda.

"Anyone who acts like this, will have to leave our forum, no exceptions."

As such, you are admittedly more heavy-handed in regards to what is posted in your forum than he is. Interesting.....

i think that pic says it all...
see you guys... good riddance.

lol this is such a joke...
and people wonder why i dont visit the forums that much lately...

its like a highschool in here..
i mean no offence to DAYV when i say this but if he's going to constantly try and get under Jay's skin by posting stupid pictures and calling people "forum nazi's" when clearly we all know that this forum is far from being regulated i say leave.
it's obvious he's doing it on purpose and i personally thought that he couldn't stoop that low... but low and behold the wonders of knowing people on the internet.

their true colours always shine through.

i dont visit this place much as it is but at least i know why i stopped coming in the first place...
childish shit like this...

goodluck with the site guys.

okay so im looking for this documentary on the 9/11 attacks....

most of the documentary from what i can remember was just a guy going around the streets of new york city and taping peoples thoughts and feelings at the time of the attack... and after it i believe.

one scene i can remember from it in particular is where a girl and a bearded man (who looked to be homeless or something) were arguing about what should be done about the people who attacked them. they are yelling at eachother for a while until they both break down into tears and begin to hug, both apologizing to eachother. they say they are scared and dont know what to do... they're confused.

its a very moving scene..

i was wondering if anyone knows what the documentary is called.
i would really appreciate it!!!

although this may sound a bit much i was wondering if originaltrilogy.com was going to do anything for the anniversary of Star Wars?

im not saying having one huge gathering.. (although that would be cool), but maybe a group of different gatherings that people could attend in their area...

just curious if they're have been any talks or plans in motion for this?

have fun watching a non anamorphic widescreen laserdisc transfer that not even uses the whole disc…
instead we have XBOX game demos and trailers for the upcoming lego game…

lol
and of course stupid people will still defend this man…
anyone who does is pathetic after hearing this.

i dont think i have to say that many people we outraged when they heard this...
and i hope i dont sound too full of myself but i believe that it hit me harder than i think it hit anyone else...
not just as a Star Wars fan, but as a film enthusiast and as a DVD collector..

theres only so much a person can put up with before they explode, and im sure we've all had that on occasion.
so again i apologize for what i said, but please don't judge others on things which im sure we're all guilty of...

i do apologize for any of my comments about his death, but i think many of you have said things in the moment of sheer frustration.
so im sorry for resorting to it.

but don't apologize to those who were offended by it, especially those who call people out for making mistakes and then call them morbid a-holes for doing so. Your not perfect so shut the hell up.

considering that the system will have a blu ray player integrated as well as top of the line hardware (more powerful than that of xbox 360 and the Wii) i dont see what anyone is complaining about...

its fine if you cant afford it but don't bash the system..
hell i can guarantee you it will outsell the competition without a doubt...

and it really goes to show your knowledge on pricing of games.. why not go take a look at what an xbox 360 game costs at your local best buy...

Yeah right, I say bullshit. 99% of the people whining in here will be like excited little 8 year olds on 12th Sep running down the store the night before to be first in the queue.

just because LucASS has you by your balls doesnt mean the same is true for us...
now go watch your shitty letterboxed versions on your CRT and get out of here...

Lucas hasn't got me by the balls, I haven't got one official SW's dvd release in my collection so that argument is dead straightaway. The only version I possess on DVD is the Editdroid LD caps. And as for getting out of here I am entitled to voice my opinion on this board as much as anyone else. Just because my stance isn't the same as yours doesn't mean you have the right to silence me. What is your name George W or something?

im not trying to silence you... however i am saying that this site was to fight for the originals on dvd...
since you dont care about that you have no reason to be here...

but whatever feel free to troll around the forums..

So, what percentage of Joe public do you think won't buy this because it's not anamorphic?

personally that depends on what you mean by Joe Public..
if they are a moderate Star Wars fan and would just like to own it on DVD then im sure tons will buy it regardless if its anamorphic or not...
but then thats saying they are not into home theatre, movies, DVDs or just has a general knowledge of picture differences..
then there are star wars fans who will only buy the anamorphic set...

so the Joe Public your talking about is basically someone who has a very minimal interest/knowledge in movies/DVDs, doesnt own a home theatre, does not collect DVD's, is not a Star Wars fan and would just like to own them on DVD...

in that case im sure 10% maybe 15% and thats being generous will buy any shitty edition Lucas releases..
i'll give you that...

i think im past the bitter point with many fans at this point...
i think the only time ill be happy is once he's dead and can no longer screw with his fans...

Boring?!?! That movie is a masterpiece!! I've seen it several times, and it was never boring at all!

I wouldn't say that the ending is boring, but it is an ending that I can't get. It's too convuluted for me.

brings to mind the shining for me...
