C3PX said:Whoa, it is so weird to hear from people whose first experience of The Lord of the Rings were the movies. It blows my mind. Almost like a long time SW fan meeting someone who was first introduced to Star Wars through the Clone Wars tv show.
Sorry, back to the topic now.
I was too....still haven't read the books. Will get around to it at some point...
C3PX said:I am pretty sure Nintendo didn't actually owned Rare. Rae was a third party developer with a good deal of loyalty toward Nintendo. Hands down, the best games of the N64 era game from Rare. Microsoft bought them out, which effectively cut off the relationship with Nintendo. Nintendo had nothing to do with this move. Before the buy out, Rare was big stuff. Now I never even hear that name anymore. Guess they just made a new game in the Banjo series, but that is the first time I heard their name for a long time.
Shadow of the Colossus does have a very impressive score, it really works with the gameplay increasing the overall experience of the game (which is brilliant).
No, Rare was 2nd party, like Retro Studios, I think Nintendo owned about 50% of Rare when they sold them to Microsoft.
And I LOVED Paper Mario: TTYD. Best Game Ever

but its not going to happen isnt it?
Better to see how to save hayden rather daydreaming the perfect PT :)

PS i love the new Obi's haircut!
Yeah I seriously disliked that mullet...Of course it would take a ridiculous amount of frame by frame work to paint it out of the movie.
vaderios said:I sense a plot to destroy the jedi..
I could agree more with james franco rather with kirk.
And i dont think so IMO always that Kirk's character fit to anapimp's personality.
I like to see Anapimp more like Bruce wayne. lol. He doesnt knew nothing and live with a fear of losing his mother. then he trained to the jedi arts to learn to let go this fear and......why so serious?

I don't know, maybe it's just that Pine reminds me of Hamill, but the whole idea that he's very likable and can play young likable trainee/cadet and edgy trebel simultaneously
mrbenja0618 said:Octorox said:Anyway we can replace Hayden with Chris Pine and remove Ewan's mullet? (jk) But seriously I thought Pine as Kirk was way closer to what Anakin should have been.
I was actually thinking the same thing.... I thought to myself, if George died tomorrow, then someone could reshoot the prequels and use Pine as Anakin.....Oh, and a completely re-written trilogy would be nice....But yes, he would be an ideal Anakin. He even had that Mark Hamill gaze to me.
I noticed that he has kind of a Mark Hamill sarcastic laugh too, but he can definetely pull off an edgier, darker character than Hamill
The only cgi that stood out to me in that movie was the animals. I honestly didn't notice the cg backgrounds.
Anyway we can replace Hayden with Chris Pine and remove Ewan's mullet? (jk) But seriously I thought Pine as Kirk was way closer to what Anakin should have been.
Okay I may just be high on Star Trek right now but....
I think this could have worked. Some things about Pine's performance as Kirk actually reminded me a lot of Hammil, particularly his laugh, but he can also be sort of a Han Solo badass without losing the Lukeish charm of a young Jedi trainee. I think Pine's Kirk is a lot closer to how Anakin should have been played than how Hayden played it as kind of a dark, foreboding, moody, angsty teenager. Of course at this point, I'm not sure if I'd want to see Kirk and Anakin as the same actor...
P.S. I also hated Ewan's Jedi Mullet
I would love to see this done for the prequels. It would also be great if you could isolate voices from sound effects as well.

It's been done before, and better

Fast forward to the part where vader enters
Gaffer Tape said:Yeah, but like canofhumdingers said, it's not just big, extremely noticeable sequences like that. Every special effects shot was recomposited and would require branching.
I find that hard to believe when transparencies, matte lines and crappy sabers and lasers still exist in the SEs.
hmmm.....I won't say anything yet because I don't want to make any promises I can't keep. You may have to wait for summer for real production to start because I have a lot on my agenda right now.
SO I don't even know if I'll really ever get to this edit (I deleted the original stuff anyway) but I cut a trailer because I was bored and wanted to make a ROTS trailer. Take a look:

Oldfan said:EyeShotFirst said:Oldfan said:"Jurassic Park was a great example of how even early cgi, done right, has a place in film"
They did use alot of elements besides just cgi they even used puppets for the head. That movie was way ahead of its time. I saw the documentary of it. They were gonna use stop motion animation. But they pushed technology. I don't think any film in the past 10 years has raised the bar quite like jurrassic park. They made me sink in my chair with the raptors. It is just a beautiful film. I wish spielberg would make films like he did from the late 70's to early 90's. His works were always so beautiful.
I agree. I think another outstanding example of cgi is Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within. I realize that many did not like the storyline, but I think that as far as an animated film goes, it still stands tall as one of the best, visually speaking. And check out Vexille also. Mind-boggling animation.
And yeah Disney disgusts me nowadays. They had such beautiful animation. My girlfriend owns all the classics. I can't believe they dropped traditional animation in favor of all cgi. Walt would be crying if he were alive, but then it wouldn't have happened that way.
Now back to topic...
2D animation has returned to Disney! Look Up "The Princess and The Frog". Also, Vaderios, Pixar is amazing, no one is allowed to say anything bad about Pixar >:( Wall-E was awesome and UP was also awesome (saw a pre-release screening)

Bingowings said:I'm all for a few subtle references to the prequels, I mentioned the neckless earlier but I'm not too keen on flashbacks unless it's in a Godfather 2 type saga re-edit where they can be a meatier.
I would love to add a few whispers to the cave sequence in ESB (I mentioned giving the lizards and snakes a few subliminal connections to fallen Sith Lords, red and black markings, sith eyes etc, it is a dreamscape so you can get away with a bit of trickery there).
The odd Clone War era ship in the fleet of ROTJ would be welcome too, all those weapons would have to go somewhere (either to a wreckers yard or sold on on the black market) and that works both ways I'd love to see OT ships in pristine condition in PT too.
Outside of Ady's ANH:R I'd like to see the family graveyard put into the Lars homestead and the readout lights from AOTC's Garage being put into the ANH garage.
Nothing as stand out obvious as sticking Hayden's head onto Seb Shaw's neck but little touches that people who look for them can notice (like having the battledroid in the Sandcrawler in ANH:R).
On a seperate subject I've searched high and low and not managed to find a good isolated shot of the Endor deflector dish at night (without a ship or building in front of it) if anyone has or finds one I would be very grateful if you could send it to me in PM.
The last mockup I did is mostly Angel's work (I just added a bit to it to prove the concept of adding a waterfall to his pan) I'm sure he could do a much better job and hope he will give it a go when he is less busy.
It might be nice if as well as having the platform the Imperials had a hanger for launching bombers and the like on the other side :
I have a very big version of the background image if anyone else want to play about with it drop me a PM.
OMG....i LOVE epic LOTR Endor
Vaderisnothayden said:The first Matrix film has its merits, but it's sorely overrated. The other Matrix films are better than they're given credit for but they're nothing great. Critics and university courses have all sorts of silly ideas about films and shouldn't be paid attention to. There's a lot of pretention going on about The Matrix. Another cyberpunk film which gets a lot of pretentious reaction is Bladerunner. The setting is good and Harrison Ford is good, but that's about it. The film doesn't work very well and is terribly disappointing. It's even worse with the director's cut making Deckard a bleedin replicant, which is NOT what Harrison was playing.
And surely you know better than the experts?
any idea which webdoc? I have them as special features on the DVD but I don't want to sift through them all.

C3PX said:AxiaEuxine said:I would recast Laurence Fishburne as Mace, basically have him play Morpheus as a Jedi...ahhhh yeeeeah
Sio Bibble....anyone else, does anyone else find that guy annoying? Ric Olie too, anyone else.
Oh, dude! You just came up with the one idea that could possible make me hate the prequels more. Morpheus as a Jedi! The very thought makes me feel like tossing my computer across the room. I will probably end up having nightmares about this tonight. Believe it or not, I actually hate... nay... loathe the Matrix movies about ten times as much as the prequels. When I think about The Matrix and the prequels together, the prequels give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'd eagarly sit through the entire PT back to back, to avoid having to watch a single Matrix film. That is how very much I absolutely cannot even begin to tolerate the mere possibility of even having the potenial to be able to stand these awful, awful, awful, awful films. Bunch of mindless tripe that totally pisses on intelligent thought in every way imaginable. The very thought of their existence offends me greatly.
Phew! Sorry about that, just had to get it out of my system. I feel much better now.
Back to the topic, I do find Sio Whatever (if he is who I think he is) to be a bit annoying, but there is so many worse things going on around him, and he is such a minor part with very little screen time, I really don't mind him. And Ric Ollie is downright awesome! Cracks me up every time. He is the much needed comic relief in that movie. Toss Jar Jar and Threepio's over the top antics out the window, we don't need them. Ric Ollie is a character that lets you have a little chuckle at the movie without completely ruining it. In fact, I think I would have liked AOTC and ROTS better had Ric been in them (okay, maybe not, but I do love Ric).
Really? I thought the first one was really good. I never saw the other two. It's just fun action movie 0.o?

The scene at 2:45, I believe it’s deleted, there’s also a screencap here

I want to toy with Anakin’s dream sequences in an edit…
*drools*
I really loved the Peter Jackson's King Kong game. That was a great game-movie tie in.
