Hey it’s a bonus, what do they need to remaster anything for. They would probably do it.

They are an off white marble sort of colour to resemble ancient Greek or Roman statues.

The stupid size and design problem from Prometheus is laughable though. Should have watched their own movie before making prequels… where have we heard that story before. I still remember this version:

Yes the inclusion is pretty poor, and overall the Dagobah part is poor. But the Luke rage scene is good so I let it slide. Would the structure of ROTJ allow for a new sister character? It’s not clear. But you could trim a lot to allow for it.

Right on

Dreamrider by Lazerhawk - it’s a return to the slow chilled out Visitors style sounds rather than the expected pedal to the metal tunes, but hey I can dig it.

You should check out the original British version, Blow-Up (1966).

Yep it’s another one in the big movie queue!

All in all I liked parts of this but it misses the energy of TOS; its heart, its exuberance and most of all its inherent silliness.
But the the few seconds of Bones here and there are priceless.

It helps if you think about the underlying themes of rebirth. The pace, the imagery, the whole feeling of stiff limbo. VGER is trying to be reborn, just as Bones, Spock and Kirk are trying to get their mojo back. By the end they all come back together after all the years apart and solve a classic TOS style plot, while becoming their old TOS selves. Then you can get into the following trilogy where the real good stuff waits.

I am the least tech savvy person around and the DEED Facebook page has damn how-to right on the top. Just do it. The endless speculation is just embarrassing at this stage.

Eh. He thanks George and doesn’t mention anything specific enough, further confusing the matter and blurring the line. It used to be called just Star Wars but so what, that’s a minor 1980s difference. Keeping it living memory is only going to get harder from here on out.

Eraserhead is Lynch’s funniest movie.

Body Double 3/5

Blow Out 4/5

RoboCop 5/5

Just today I saw a video about streaming versus cinema today, someone raised the point that cinema is better because it’s communal. They saw stuff like Jaws, Star Wars etc and remember how people cheered at the ending. Point is… in the clip used the Death Star was CGI. Fucking Praxis Wave. Ugh.

I think everyone here has probably spent more money on Star Wars than is necessary over time regardless of format. And we would do it again if they let us.

Jeez…

He got the spelling Forth wrong

Is this a real journalist writing? They discuss the infamous Empire Magazine review …but then say they only gave it 4/5 (it was a full 5) and then link to the later revised article where things were retroactively changed to cover the embarrassment. Good work.

Cool the decade old stuff is gone. Might be handy to have something about the 40th up there rather than a page where the first link has the word torrent on it though…

And let’s not forget the EU glut that began in 1991 with Heir to the Empire.

Nothing will ever make them fit, no matter how much threadbare string and worn-out duct tape you try to wrap around them.

True.

Chewbacca looks a lot better this time around.

Needs to get closer to classic ESB look. Not so much ROTJ centre parting.

That being said these shoots always look nothing like the end product, seeing them on film always changes things.

Didn’t I say reddit was a cesspool? Cesspit? Open sewer? Something like that.

just don’t think about it too much.

Well… yeah it helps not to think about the PT I guess

ALIEN 5/5

Practically perfect.

ALIENS 5/5

Hell yeah.

ALIEN3 3/5

Assembly cut only. Doesn’t need to exist though.

ALIEN RESURRECTION 2/5

Hahahaha. No.

ALIEN VS PREDATOR 2/5

Remember when this was called Aliens Vs Predator? And was about futuristic shit and comics and space marines and it had arcade beat em ups and a bunch of other games with the exact same name for some reason? Apparently nobody got that memo.

PROMETHEUS 3/5

Eh.

Maybe before his turn to the dark side, Anakin mentioned to Obi-Wan that he and his wife were trying to have children, and he said “You know, I’d like my son to have my lightsaber when he’s old enough.”

The characters we got don’t seem to like each other enough to have such a chat unfortunately.

Where do you even begin. The real question is where can you find any actual plot congruity.

This week I’ll see if I can dig up any photos I have.

Cool, please do
