He played a good asshole football player as well.

My wife liked 4400.

I liked Dead Zone in the beginning, but then he was using his power like every 2 minutes, and it got really old really quick.

Well, Zion and our other member are working on new ways to correct color. It looks pretty cool in theory, but it's a very new procedure.

LOL

Would you happen to have any before/after screenshots hanging around? Are the shots you're working on from the Japanese special collection, THX definitive collection or both?

There should be a video on the website showing me fixing a segment. I don't recall if the video shows a before-and-after comparison (I can't check the site from work.) Maybe I can put one together.

And I am working on the Def. Col.

You know, since I have recreated the crawl, I had to study the original carefully (from the EoD documentary.) After I was done, I superimposed mine over the original, and because mine was so "smooth" compared to the original, it actually made it look fake, rather than film-like.

The other problem is, sometimes the "shake" is in the video - but the letterboxing remains the same - so if one were to align the shaking, you'd either have to crop a few lines of the movie, or suffer with the top/bottom edges wiggling around. I don't know if either solution is really acceptable.

Personally, if there was any scene that I would consider smoothing out, it would be "A long time ago....", because it wouldn't be affected by the letterboxing.

While it is frustrating watching year after year go by with little or no updates, it is understandable....

I hear ya. Little bits are getting done here and there. but there's been no real "cool" thing to show. I mean, a lot of the spot removal I'm doing probably won't even be noticeable to most people (except for big spots or drop-outs), but examples of this were already shown. I guess I could find another scene with really bad spots and make a video.

Our pal Aaron Snyder did a dual-layer Star Tours disc that included most of this stuff.

Man, I'd love to get a copy of that. The only ST copy I have is pretty bad and discolored (someone else transferred it to DVD.)

He's fine, but he's "in and out" even in our double-secret X0 threads (different site), so there's still a lot of back-and-forth going on.

And now, I've got to move my new components into my new case (It arrived days later, and I couldn't wait to try out the new stuff, so it's all in my old case right now.

That's so far off in terms of the work we still have to do now, that it's not even on our radar. Let's hope ol' Jorje Lucas comes to his senses by then.

In better news, I finally upgraded my 7-year-old pentium!

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale 2.2GHz LGA 775 65W Processor Model BX80557E4500

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit

ASUS P5K-VM LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Western Digital Caviar SE WD5000AAJS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

This sucker flies now. Everything takes minutes instead of hours. Woo-Hoo!

Looking at the website, there doesn't appear to be a limit on VTS. Perhaps checking in the forums about VTS limits might help?

Poor Randy, still having issues with people not loving every single aspect of the SW films, or their creator, for that matter.

And I love this part:

And I'm blown away by your inability to be civil for 2 seconds.

"As much as I love Empire Strikes Back, I could have lived without it."

The only thing more idiotic than that statement is one that ends in "...

Even at two seconds, you've got him beat, LOL!

Scruffy, I get what you are saying, but I've got to agree with lordjedi. And his complaint isn't solely about the hard science in Shadows of the Empire. It's how stupid facts are introduced to the SW world.

I know the one that bugs me is how (I forget the name of the book now) we find out from EU that Sifo-Dyas was indeed the person who made the order for the clones, and Dooku found out about this and killed him off afterwards. That's just really fucking stupid because why would a Jedi go off on his own to create an army, especially after Mace's "We're not soldiers" line, and where did he get the money?

Not to mention the rather outstanding coincidence of Sifo doing this and Dooku finding out. It would have made much more sense for Dooku to kill Sifo and impersonate him to the cloners, but nooooooooo, someone had to throw in a ridiculous twist.

I've read some good EU that can cast a unique light on the events of the films, and a lot of bad EU that just really makes a mess of things. Rebuilding the Falcon without Han's approval, are you kidding me?

I really should have done that the last time I installed 2000, but I was too lazy. I'm just going to put XP on my second computer, and use it solely for video capture for now.

I was concerned maybe that people had legitimate issues with the fan edits.

I like this guy.

No "completion date", but things are looking up now that our fourth has come back to us (and luckily, not as a Force ghost.)

It would help if I got a faster computer as well. My Pentium 4 is showing its age as I use more and more complex software and effects.

I love your .sig. What's that from?

When I re-install XP I always make a lite version using nlite.

I guess I'll have to look that up.
