My friend and I watched a movie sometime around 1992/3 and I remember the cover had a boy on his bike (which we decided was a good enough reason to rent it). The plot was about the kid being transported to a dream-like world that was made up of (it seemed like) bits of other movies. The villain was trying to steal the colour from the world, or something.

I’m reasonably sure the title was the boy’s name followed by adventure, or excellent adventure, or amazing adventure.

This has been niggling at me for a VERY long time. Any ideas?

EDIT: The villain also sang a song about stealing the colour!

I’VE FOUND IT!!!

Known variously as, “Andy Colby’s Incredibly Awesome Adventure”,“Andy Colby’s Incredible Adventure” or (somewhat unexpectedly) “Andy and the Airwave Rangers”. It was released in 1988, was produced by Roger Corman and stars nobody you’ve ever heard of. Wonderfully, the film’s poster on the Wikipedia page has somebody riding a bike - just like I remembered!

The trailer is a masterpiece of awful.

That’s 25 years of weight off my shoulders but the question now is, dare I watch it again?!

The beginning of the trailer reminds me of The Never Ending Story, when he meets the old man in the Library/Book store. The main premise reminds me of a John Ritter movie, Stay Tuned (1992). Very similar idea of people getting sucked into the ‘tv land’.

Should have called it “Andy and the Airwave Avengers”. Now that’s a catchy title.

That’s pretty scummy.

From your avatar, I can’t imagine you ever being a redhead. 😉

Thank you, I see your points. My idea is of the program practically impossible but maybe the store could work.

Yes, I’m pretty new, I’ve been a user for only about a couple of months. I love all the things I’ve been able to get thanks to me finding this site and it was all free and not that difficult. I mean I only asked for a MySpleen invite and got it, I guess One has to be lucky.

There are many tutorials in YouTube of how to get fan edits, but I couldn’t find one that mentioned asking for a MySpleen invite. I think it’s the easiest way and normal people should know how it works.

“Normal people” should probably know how to torrent

Really? Obvious incoming joke aside, I don’t know how to torrent, and I’m hardly in the uneducated internet demographic.

Ah. What I mean is, “It’s probably a good idea to make a tutorial for torrenting aimed at normal people.” - with the caveat that such a tutorial should not be made showing the uninformed how they can quickly get myspleen access.

I’m a fan of well-written tutorials, since I can apparently get into trouble with even the simplest of instructions. 😛

A New Hope Technicolor Recreation v1 is hereby released!

The links are available via PM and with the stipulation that you meet the basic requirements set down by NJVC and Valheru (member for 6 months, post count more than 10)*.

The project will also be on the 'spleen within a week if all goes well, and the project will have several sizes/bitrates available in case you don’t want to burn dual layer Blu-ray discs.

Note that this project is still technically unfinished, since some lightsaber shots have yet to be replaced. There will be a version 2 at some unspecified date, and this will be the ‘final’ version. The color of some shots will undoubtedly be tweaked for the final version, but nothing dramatic.

*If you’re a new member and you own the blu-ray, PM me a picture of the official Blu-ray with the Blu-ray case and a banana** on top for scale and I’ll give you the links, as well as my heartfelt appreciation for your effort. 😉

**Just kidding. It can be any type of fruit. Except cantaloupe. I hate cantaloupe.

the comments

You’re braver than I am.

They’re so authoritarian-following that I only need to see the top comment. The rest mostly fall in line with that.

Yeah, Breitbart has largely turned against the administration, but the comments suggest most of the readership still supports Trump.

I LOLed

They need to set it between Episodes 5 and 6. Essentially just My Dinner With Andre set in Yoda’s hut where they wax rhapsodic about their early lives and wonder just how everything went so wrong.

I suppose you could add a laser bolt when Obi-wan sweeps his saber up and over in the first shot. A simple flash centered on the blade would be sufficient.

I remember in the Making of Star Wars that George always wanted for the interaction to be faster than the eye could see, so before you knew it the arm was on the ground. Adding a laser could be cool, but it’s not necessary to get the effect of the altercation.

We got to see the eclipse at 94%, and the sky got about as dark as 7 PM. I had made an eclipse viewer out of a long easel box, and we passed it around throughout the event. So it was strange and cool, and afterwards we got Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They had special chocolate glazed ones coming off the conveyor for eclipse day. They were pretty good.

Sith sabers red,
Jedi’s are blue,
Why does everyone want to go back to Jakku.

Jedha Jedha, galactic treasure,
not smoky city ruins not even a crater…

I had heard of them, but didn’t really look into the differences between them and other activist groups like BLM until recently. The left wing media is doing a terrible job of educating the public on this issue, and the right wing media is in histrionics about how everyone on the left is basically Antifa.

Their speech reminds me of the Ewok human-roasting song.

“Stand back, my brethren. I will deal with this so-called Jedi.”

Y’all should hear about my experience with BLM at the Boston Anti-Nazi Rally. 1/

…

https://twitter.com/qwrrty/status/898999900255297537

BLM is not starting riots. They’re stopping them. 15/15

Antifa is really trying to give everyone on the left a bad name, despite being a (non)organization whose primary identity is anarchy. I found this website interesting:
https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/who-were-the-groups-protesting-in-charlottesville/3986723.html
The groups attending the protest had members from White Supremacist, Alt-Right, KKK, Neo-Nazi, Neo-Confederate, and Traditional Workers Party groups. Almost all of these groups are openly and definitively racist (The Traditional Workers party is a bit more coy). The counterprotesters on the other hand were comprised of Antifa and BLM. Although they don’t have an official stance on violence, it’s pretty clear by their founding principles that BLM favors nonviolence and respects the rule of law. Antifa does not, and until the Left can easily and forcefully denounce and reject Antifa, it’s going to forfeit the moral high ground, no matter how well behaved its counterprotests are.

I don’t mind this kind of clutter. Honestly just glad people care about the project 😃

This is not a suggestion, because obviously, but wouldn’t it make sense if these shots…

…showed lists of rebel/Imperial fighters and the lightbright guys highlighted them in red when they got destroyed.

I think it would add even more of a ticking clock, especially near the end when just about the only fighters left were those of our heroes.

Pfew, I though I was the only crazy fan project maker! 😄

No, there is another…

While you’re here, I have a few suggestions for ESB Revisited…

“back on topic please, move along, move along.”

Oh you’re no fun.

Now look what you’ve done. You’ve ruined Adywan’s vacation!

Guys, no more changes are going to be made. Take it to a thread for a movie he hasn’t released yet.

Take the opening reel of The Adventures of Robin Hood, mix in the scene in Ben’s hut from Star Wars and the entire second half of Empire Strikes Back, a quiet scene of introspection from The Fountain, the swordfight from Princess Bride, the Balrog scene from Fellowship of the Ring, the testing of the fission bomb from Sunshine, and the final scene from The Matrix, and you have something approximating my favorite movie of all time.

Done. Again.

Sigh.

I suppose the point I was trying to make is that the optics are terrible, even if the reasons are good. There must be a way to take down the monuments in a way that doesn’t result in this extreme backlash.

We’re members of a forum about preserving art, why not make the argument that for their preservation for future generations, our Confederate monuments are being placed in museums where they will be safe from the destructive forces of nature?
