Fahrenheit 9/11
Time
but is he lying or just giving you his point of view???
i agree that the man edits certain things to prove his point but im not sure if very much of that is done in this film...

i mean most of the film is of actual news coverage or television footage...
i would love someone to post a REAL list of things which were taken out of context in the movie...
at least we could then decide for ourselves if he goes overboard with it or not...

my thoughts on originals vs SE...
Time
once again jimbo is an asshole to a new member who puts his ideas out there...
and please jimbo since you are such an intelligent person when it comes to things like this... give us some arguments against it...
as you said in your post...

Quote

there are just as many arguements against it.


so go ahead and indulge us with your ideas... i cant wait to hear them...

and as for Lucas not caring... thats fine... i dont give a shit what he thinks either..
the guy has ruined the only movie for which he is known...
i think thats punishment enough for him...

as to Stale Elvis, WELCOME TO THE BOARDS MAN!
Glad to have you here!


i totally agree with everything your saying...
what im kinda curious about is if the people who did work which was not shown in the SE are still given credit in the credits...
get me??
i've gotta check up on both the OT and SE credits and see if anyone is missing..

Stupidest Prequal complaints
Time
these are exactly all my problems with these movies!!!!
major problems that is...

i still think it was a waste to already introduce 2 major villians in just 2 movies...
i understand that Darth Maul was the big selling point when it came to TPM...
but then why kill him off at the end of the movie???
or even Qui Gon for that matter....
was i supposed to morn for these characters that i only knew for what... 1 hour of screentime.. if that?

i still think that if anything TPM started it all off wrong...
i find AOTC much more tolerable but suffers from many of the mistakes which TPM brought up..

Star Wars DVD Covers
Time
Fluke Starbucker if you want my covers printed off but dont want to waste your own ink just take them to a local print shop...
if they give you any hassel about them not being able to print off copyrighted material just tell them that you made these yourself...
i just realized they will print off anything as long as you can say that you made it yourself to use for fun...
lol

i did that with a different set of star wars covers that they gave me a hassel about..
i dunno... try it out if u can!

A message to the forum and the Star Wars fan community in general
Time
very well said Rikter..

all i can say is this forum is prolly one of the best places to come when it comes to information about bootlegs and the preservation of the OT!!

we must show Lucas that we will go to any length to get these movies with or without his help... and we will do it together as fans...

he may be able to take on one of us... but all of us??
dont think so..


kudos to us!

Fahrenheit 9/11
Time
k well i saw the movie last night...
and i absolutly loved it!!!

If you were a fan of Bowling for Columbine... you will enjoy this one just as much!
Many people say that moore is guilty of lying and manipulating interviews and this and that... however... he brings up SO MANY points in this movie that theres no possible way that everyone of them is a lie..... It's just impossible...
some sure... most could happen... but all.... impossible...
so there has to be some truth to what moore is saying...

When you see iraq soldiers telling the camera that they think the war is wrong and that they would rather be imprisoned than go back there... or even hearing a letter from a dead soldier who says Bush is a idiot for sending them there in the first place... and hopes he is not re-elected.... its pretty powerful...
Even if your not about the whole Moore theory... (ie. jimbo) give the movie a chance... i guarentee that you would at least appreciate it for the entertainment value the movie holds...

I would go into further details about some of my fave parts but i dont want to spoil it yet for those who havent seen it....
believe me when i say the movie is hilarious!!!

I did know he lied in Bowling for Columbin. He made it look like a banks free gun offer just let him walk out with it. In reality Moore had to wait 2 weeks and was given a backgroud check. If this isn't a total and complete lie I don't know what is.


ya well he didnt lie...
he used editting to his advantage in that case...
its not like he said omg i cant believe i got a gun in one day!! and plus he was told that they do a background check on him before he gets his gun... it was in the scene when he is filling out the form i believe...

Changes in 2004 DVDs

Lucas had attempted to creating a good Wampa puppet back in 1980. Unfortunity it didn't work properly so they had to show very little of it. The Special Edition makes that scene so much better.


I understand that but i felt it played out better when you didnt see it...
things like that play out on your fears more when you dont see it... you can picture it for yourself...
look at the movie signs... many thought that the ending was ruined when they showed the alien... i thought it did...

i've always thought less is more...
play the game silent hill and you'll notice that they use sound more than any blood and gore to make a game scary as hell!!

Music!

as for your question ricarleite as to your favorite pink floyd song...
i know this is gonna be a mega tough on for me....

i would have to say either Dogs or Time...
if i HAD to choose that is.. cuz to be honest... all their songs rule...
I have always really liked high hopes too...
although many floyd fans i know werent too impressed with that one...

but to each his own...
how bout u ricarleite?
fave song?
