Yeah soap is a big no no. I had a friend of mine do that and man was it nasty after that. Everything he cooked on it was horrible. When I'm doing a frozen pizza I have this really great pan I use. For some reason it just cooks them better than the stone. What I do is cook them on that pan with the stone in the oven. Then I pull out the stone and place that on top of the stove. I then pull out the pizza and put the pizza on the now warm stone. It keeps the pizza warm when it's out of the oven.

Damn I need food.

Just one more reason for me to sell everything I own and go live in the woods somewhere.

My jaw was on the floor after reading this ruling and I know the ramifications of it will be felt everywhere. The really sad part is that things like this happen in the government everyday and most people don't even know about them. Perhaps not as big as this one but things are always being past that mess with your liberties.

Aww a pizza stone kicks ass for reheating pizza. I don't really like it when you use it for frozen pizza. It just cooks weird for me, it could be my stone. Anyway I like it.

The woman got a great one from a Pampered Chief party. Actually she got a ton of stuff. It's like a tupperware party but with cooking stuff.

Anyway if you can get one of those I like them the best.

Cold pizza is good too.

This is a bit weird to post here but what the hell.

I was hanging out with my little cousin today and he wanted cinnamon toast. So I make him some. As can be expected with little kids they don't eat a lot and you always get left with leftovers. So I ate the left over cinnamon toast.

Damn it was good. I hadn't had cinnamon toast sense I was like 9 years old. I forgot how good it was.

That got me wondering. What else is good breakfast food that you haven't had in years? Is it still good today?

Yeah I just went here...

http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/frighteners-ld/

and picked up the orginal Laserdisc art. I then moved some stuff around, cut some stuff out and added a DVD Video Logo and made a spine for it with heal brush and clone stamp. I then just shrunk the whole thing down to fit DVD cases. I did nothing special with this and I didn't even try to avoid squeezing anything thing.

Well I was just tinkering around with some images I found online of the laserdisc scans. I found some decent scans of the laserdisc cover so I threw this DVD cover together for it. If for whatever reason my bandwidth gets used up (and it will) just PM me and i'll email this to you.

Info Wanted: Preservation and Fan Edit options - and a review thread?
Link

If there is already a thread like this I’m sorry. This whole “Preservation and Fan Edit” section is a bit mind boggling to me now days. It seems like everyone and their brother are doing some sort of project. I remember back when we only had two possible options for a good copy of the OT (Dr. Gonzo and TR47). Now it’s a bit crazy with all the great options. And I do mean great. It seems like with each new generation of discs the quality just keeps getting better.

I know that there are a few great threads about what is going on with the current projects and that is awesome to find such community support. My question is what if there was a section where you can get reviews of all the currently finished and available projects? I’m sure more than a few people would like to know which set is currently the best quality OT, PT, or Fan Edit.

Now before this post become a pissing contest about who’s set is better I was wondering if we could get an impartial person to step up and take a look at the majority of the sets. Kind of like a Roger Ebert of Star Wars preservation.

Perhaps if we find someone to do that we could start a new thread where only the reviews for each set could reside. Not to discourage community involvement with those reviews but if we don’t have any replies in that sections we would very quickly end up with a single area where people could come and make educated decisions about which set of discs is right for them.

Perhaps I’m just too damn idealistic but I think it could be a great addition to this forum. For all I know there could be a website with this very information already on it?

It's called "Automatic Duck". If you do a google search for it the very first one should be the company web site. (automaticduck.com ? maybe). I know the website has a slick video of it in action you can watch.

The down side is it's a 500 dollar plugin. Work has it so I only use it there but man if I had the money I would get it for sure. It's pretty slick if you know anything about After Effects you can really make your work look good. No matter what camera you shot it on.

I haven't watched a SW movie since midnight ROTS

That was one of the things that bugged me. Everyone got so damn old so fast between ROTS and Star Wars. What the hell? But I digress; I’m chancing the subject a little.

I feel that ROTS wasn't a great movie. I think the whole PT really missed the mark as a whole. TPM was closest to getting it right and then it just became about special effects and whatnot. Not that TPM didn't have that but it had more of a heart to it. Lucas tried to set up characters we would like and care for. He tried new things to keep the story new and fresh. Some of these didn't work and some of them did.

In the end I wouldn't say the PT hurt the OT at all but it definitely didn't strengthen my love it like I thought it would.
