why cardiograms and Ekg's be covered and not stress tests?

You're right, none of them should be covered.

I don't get it,  first you say  Echo cardiograms and EKG's should be covered but not stress tests.  When I ask you why, you change your mind and say none should be covered.   Please explain. 

Nah. Nevermind. Leave it to Dear Leader Obama to decide.

 Like giving free breathalyzers to kids. Available in all 57 states.

He clearly meant 47 -_-....And I like how you guys are comparing this unabashed moderate to a communist.

Here's my solution:

Have the gov't set up a fund.  When you file your taxes, you can elect to send your return or any percentage (even 0%) of your income to this fund.  From this fund the gov't can provide healthcare for the uninsured.

Since "most" of the American people "wanted" gov't run healthcare, finding moneys for this fund shouldn't be a problem, right?  And so the people without healthcare can have it, the people who want to pay for it can, and the people who don't want to have anything to do with it can stay as far away as possible!

There's your "Public Option!"

What do you think?

that's no good. Then the wealthy can opt out of it and those on the lower end of the economic spectrum still dont have enough money for healthcare. Honestly if that's the plan then there's no point in having a plan :/. I believe that someone's health and well being is too big an issue to be dependent on the size of one's wallet, but that's just me. I'm not totally happy with the new plan, which, as I understand (and I wouldn't call myself the most politically saavy person on the planet), still puts peoples well being in the hands of insurance companies, but If it gets more people decent healthcare it's an improvement IMO.

Youtube is a FAR better site than it was before Google bought it. Video used to look absolutely horrific and now it's 1080p. The layout is a lot slimmer, classier, and more useful and there are plenty more options for uploading videos. I'm sorry but I just can't agree with you on this.

That said, it sucks what their doing with your old account.

I change mine too often and dont post enough

Which one in the video is you Boost? Also, sorry about your friend.

Bryan Young is a twat.

He equates the people who wish death upon him with (his term) "tea-baggers". The "tea baggers" are nothing like that, so as a "hater" of the PT and a "tea bagger", I declare him: twat.

Please keep politics in off-topic

There more I've thought of this, the more I just think it's crap.

The rebels attack the Death Star in primarily a right to left direction.  Does that make the scene more tense?  There are a few shots of the X-wings moving left to right... are those scenes supposed to make you feel safe?

What else... ?

Perhaps this had an effect at one point in time... but I'm guessing we're all so over-exposed to it that it no longer works on most of it.

Just like how I don't get motion sickness from videogames but my wife still does since she hasn't logged her 10,000 hours.

 

Today's moviegoers are much more visually literate. We can comprehend faster sequences of shots and figure out space relations when there is much more ambiguity. Classical Hollywood Films took great care to visually orient the viewers, who had not been raised consuming visual media all their lives. Modern viewers are much more sophisticated so modern films are much more liberal with their techniques, including screen direction.

It's been a while since I've posted any updates on this project. Rest assured it's not dead, just on a temporary hiatus due to being busy and also daunted by having to replicate my cuts all over again. I reached the long ass arena scene and decided to have a break from both the project and this forum, which ended up lasting a little longer than I'd planned.

Now after a heavy Easter weekend, where I drank so much i knocked myself out on the pavement (sidewalk to my American chums), coupled with seeing RedLetterMedia's insightful Clones review on youtube, I've decided I've indulged my carnal desires long enough and am going to jump back into the editing. Hopefully churning stuff out at a similar rate to before.

As always, discussion and suggestions are key to me creating something we'll all enjoy.

It's good to be back!

-Brash

Great to hear!

btw, we say pavement too, or at least I do. A sidewalk is just a specific type of paved path that allows one to walk alongside the road while pavement can refer to any paved area including roads, driveways, parking lots etc.

I honestly couldn't stand listening to this guy for more than 5 minutes. How anyone can listen to him for 90 minutes, and then turn around and say they love it escapes me. He sounds like Napoleon Dynamite's retarded cousin from Chicago. I know a lot of people love his reviews, but I think that 90 minutes is way too long to spend watching someone dwell on a movie's problems, when you could spend that time watching an actual movie that you like.

That's not his real voice. It's supposed to be funny.

Wow...I remember them! I loved that show as a kid. This topic is really random though...

Rapidshare is uber-slow if you don't have a Premium account. Torrents are faster, easier, and more reliable.

 

Then why are people always running around forums and newsgroups screaming "Can someone seed ______?  I've been downloading it for 3 years and I'm only at 16%!"

I just don't do slow torrents...lol. If the edit is popular, chances are its well seeded.

With file sharing services such as Rapidshare and Megaupload. Torrent sites a slowly becoming a thing of the past already. As always, the Government is late to the dance. By the time they put anything into effect. It will be a thing of the past. IMO

Rapidshare is uber-slow if you don't have a Premium account. Torrents are faster, easier, and more reliable.

Also, the MPAA is not the government, they are a private organization that represents the motion picture "industry"...sometimes seems like they think they have governing powers though :p

rpvee said:

Hasn't Lucas and Lucasfilm encouraged what's done here?  If the copyright holders don't mind, I don't see a problem.

Hmm...I guess. But plenty of people make fanedits of other films as well. Perhaps this would have been more appropriate in the "fan edits of other films" section

http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/03/30/us-copyright-group-sues-20000-individual-movie-torrent-downloaders-lawsuits-targeting-30000-more-are-on-the-way/

So apparently the MPAA has gone batshit insane and is suing individual torrent downloaders of copyrighted movies. Do you think this will have an impact on the fan edit community, at least for us USian's (of course I have the DVDs of the movies I get fan edits of but I doubt that would hold up in court)? Discuss.

If you're going to do this, might I suggest using a female Shepard? She's a much better voice actress than the male one is an actor.

True, but I'd probably end up using vanilla Shepard

Alright part 3 (and final) of the "ROTS new timeline" videos...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsr59ZpcPEc

I tried explaining everything I did in the description box...but ran out of room! So many changes! ;)

Sorry :( some cool ideas but overall you're changes in pacing have ruined the best part of the PT for me. The montage ending of Ep3 is one of my favorite moments in SW. I DO like how you managed to preserve the secret of Leia however.

This comes from writers who think the villains are more interesting than the heroes. Just because they have cooler suits doesn't mean the story is really about them.

Well the Old Republic game does allow you to step into the shoes of a Sith or a Jedi so in that case neither side are really the heroes or villians

Damn I remember when Star Wars was just black and white. This is confusing…
