Topless Robot.com BluRay review

"...there's a real sense of not-giving-a-shit."

That sums it up for me, but he's quite objective overall. Regardless of a couple personal opinions from the reviewer (can't agree on anything all the time, right?) I thought it was pretty good at painting a picture of what to expect if you buy them. I still won't for the time being.

Unrestored HD Original Unaltered Trilogy

Battlestar Galactica (Re-imagined) or Firefly

Great idea!

Red Lightsaber

2011 Thundercats or 80's Thundercats?

Mr. Bean!

Jimmy Fallon or Craig Ferguson?

I for one will not be joining in this round of Uncle George's call to duty but let's not be unpleasant to people making different decisions, especially people who are welcome new arrivals.

It's not about the decision of buying the set or not. I promise you I respect both sides and understand that some people just have to have it now, fine. I used to be like that, until 2004.

What I'm completely against is being vocal about not buying the set and instead giving the money to the project.

Make no mistake, imo, IT'S FINE IF YOU DO THAT, but just keep it to yourself. Otherwise high powers may take notice. That's all I'm saying, and referring to no one in particular here or in the BD thread.

It's just that what can be considered a "good deed" could actually cause trouble if you scream about it. I know people doing this are doing it for the greater good, just shhhh!

That's what I'm going to be doing.

ESB:R Isn't going to be out for what? A rough estimate of 8-10 months at the earliest. I'll begin to look for used sets or used individual discs early-mid next year.

Whatever you people plan to do, I think the point here is don't frakking make it so obvious.

For one, you may think you're "winning points" with he ot community announcing stuff like that. Actually as you can see, it's the opposite.

And Second, if these kinds of posts become more and more, I do think nothing good would come from it. it could only cause trouble in the long term.


Owning the original release before getting ANY fan edit is a question of principal. Everyone should own it to d/l in good conscience as was mentioned. That DOES NOT mean give your money to Lucas, be smart, buy it in a few months, used.

*sigh*

how so?  how do you know my theory is not correct?

I'm not saying that, that's not even the po...

arghhh!! LOL!!!

double fail my man! :D

if you can't figure out why you're failing, I cannot help you. ;)

David Tennant.

Lando Calrissian or Apollo Creed?

Well, gee. Thanks for the Ric ollie moment.

I do know it has to be a glitch of some kind.

I do know Frink is not omnipotent. Impotent? No, the first.

I do know he defies logic anyway.

Was just a funny thing to point out, I thought.

Frink fail.
Warbler fail.


lol

Shouldn't all this go in the BD thread?

BTW, I agree, buy them or not, that depends on your own morals/sense of right and wrong, but if you're not, shut up about it, geez.

I use the term "man" loosely....since all I can see is an empty chair and floating glasses...or a yellow dude ;)

Browsing through the "Suggestions" forum I came across Frink's first post ever:

As mentioned there, first post and already complaining, but in a very friendly and proper manner, mind you. :D

Now, how in the hell can someone post their first thread ever and THEN sign up?!?!?

CO: Same for me. Feels weird, eh? Even the guy who wrote a 600-page university-endorsed textbook on the 6-part saga is boycotting this!

Who?

Inevitable Tatooine connection.

"The existence of a world with a double sunset, as portrayed in the film Star Wars more than 30 years ago, is now scientific fact. NASA's Kepler mission has made the first unambiguous detection of a circumbinary planet -- a planet orbiting two stars -- 200 light-years from Earth."

Just convinced a friend to cancel their Blu-Ray order and get the 2006 Best Buy tin instead (they liked that it was a limited edition rare thing, and they have NEVER seen the originals.  No Shaw, no eyebrows, no Yub Nub, no good sabers).

No Lapti Nek! :P

Yep and a guy got banned for what he said in the Off Topic forum the first day it became unmoderated. Granted he was an obvious sock but still that sock could have been ignored by his peers.

I really think I should be clear before this turns into an argument, I like and support all the moderators and would never tell them how to run their forums. This is their forum and they can and should run it however they want. I am in no way asking for change.

Well that's just dealing with trolls, happens everywhere. But believe me I know what a heavily moderated SW forum is, and OT.com is simply not it.

A couple more guys are helping now and I think it's great simply because there is way more activity nowadays and some people were getting out of control. But in a few months it'll all go back to normal I guess.

If anything, this place is as friendly as they get, and much of it is not only because of the members themselves but because of the light hand the mods have around.

But I agree that even though the fan edits are not the main purpose of ot.com, it's probably the reason it's gained worldwide notoriety. That can be both beneficial and prejudicial, for example the fact that ot.com is not listed in the official site I think it has more to do with the fact that preservation and edits are done right here.

Lucasfilm is not against Fan Edits, that we are certain of, but they also don't want to advertise them to all the people that go to their site logically.

Parodies and the like, fine, but fan edits travel a very thin line and I personally think it's best "we" don't appear there. The bad thing from that is that this site's main premise gets kind of lost in between and the petition doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Some you win, some you don't, but it isn't a surprise, at least for me that OT.com is not listed.

I came across this site and Ady's ANH:R in particular thanks to a post in the official forums years ago. Never heard of this place before and had no idea people were doing these things. I thought it was amazing and that more people should know about it. Sadly, said post was already hidden from civilian view when I saw it, (Being a mod there back then, I could see all that)

I didn't agree with the thread being locked and hidden, so I brought it up to "The Council" and the concensus from the people in charge of the site was basically what I already said:

"We know of its existance, we know what they're doing and it's fine but due to legal reasons it's best if that sort of activities are not discussed in the official forums"

And that was it. Understandably I thought so I left it at that.

-----

How "we" are percieved outside is quite relative, people here, and there or over there tend to deal in absolutes. Haters, gushers, PT, OT, SE, UOT, GOUT....blah blah blah.

There are good members and bad seeds in every forum, but yes, lately there's been quite a few posting rather stupid stuff and "rival" sites OF COURSE are going to take that to label us all. Just as we do about people from TFN, bluray and the OS (when the forums still existed). It's the nature of the beast, childish rivalries and the like.

Wanting GL to die so he can stop changing things is definitely going too far. As are the Nazi (I was called that A LOT in the OS lol), rape, etc comments. That is just unacceptable.

walkingdork said:

I think OT.com is known more as a place that specializes in fan-edits/preservations than a GL hater forum.

My only complaint about this place is the excessive hate from a certain few and the amount of censorship. I know the flaming might get out of hand, but there would be less socks if people could say what they think. That's just my opinion and I'm pretty much against censorship in general.

Amount of censorship? Have you seen the latest announcements in the "Off Topic" forum? o_O

You really don't need anyone's permission to participate and share your cover artwork.

if it's good, people will use it for their covers, if it's not so good you'll get comments on how to make it better and so on. In my view, it's all about taste and what YOU would like to have on your own covers, then share it.

Either way, Adywan will provide (I'm guessing here) an "official" cover and DVD art with the release like he did with ANH:R. That by no means you have to print. I did because I loved them, but I'm also working on my own and if I think they're good enough to share, I'll just post them.

It's all about contributing to the community, in one way or another IMO.

:)

Cool, ok. Hey, if want to delete my previous 2 posts and this one so the thread keeps on topic go ahead. :)

I was kidding! ------------------> ;) <-------------- See?

bah. ok ok

haha hey, you don't have to apologize for liking TPM, to each its own.

For actually buiyng the BD on the other hand... ;)

Hmmm. Now I'm curious to see the ending as well, but not so much to even get the .avi

What's the .avi size Frink?
