Mall, if any of those scans are of use could you post them over in the hi-res poster art thread?
"Isn't even that fat??" He'd be at LEAST class II obese, if not class III.
At the risk of Bumping a year-old thread... I'm going to try my own take on this. Won't be fully faithful, but I want to use the original logos that were on this set:
A friend of mine is a GP, I asked him about it and his answer is that putting on the weight makes diabetes worse, it's easier to put on the weight because your body can't use sugars but that doesn't mean you can't exercise and stay normal weight :) He then mentioned that he wished many of his diabetic patients would do that!
As with Lucas weight i wish people would leave jokes about the size of his neck alone, the poor man has suffered diabetes for about half his life or more.Sky - I have family what has diabeties. It runs in mai family. It doesn't cause obeastiy; in fact... curbing obreasity can reduce diabetes - mai gran lost lots of weight in mid 90's and until recently was still medically diabetic, but when she went to hospital and was put on diabetic food we had doctor come examine and sure enuogh she's not diabetic no more. I'm not saying it's the same for everyone... I knew a couple of kids when I was in high school that had to take injections either semi or daily... but they were not the fat kids. Lucas is fat cause he doesn't exercise, point in end :) I is not fat cause I exercise daily!
This is a terrible illness which can result in blindness, loss of limbs due to necessary amputations in the worst cases and yes death.
My bad. Harmy's such an awesome fellow that I has PMs anyways!!So True!! ROFL
Yeah SPidy3 was the worst... almost as bad as batman and robin!
greenpenguino I have a friend that thinks spidy3 was the best ... needless to say he's very very weird. He just liked venom in the comics that's all, rofl.
Oh man I had a good laugh at that!
Well yes, he's certainly all neck!
Nah, he's just really, really, really, really fat. He could have played Jabba the Hutt and nobody would know the difference by now, seriously the man needs to run his ass on a treadmill and loose some weight, he's so fat. Fatty fatty fat fat. What's wrong with him? Does he look in the mirror and somehow NOT see his disgusting rolls of flab hanging off his belly or something? GAH, seriously I think he might be full - to the bursting point - with midichlorians (or some kind of parasite anyway). Didn't he say sometime ago that making a SW trilogy takes 10 years, and when he reaches 80 he might consider maybe doing a third trilogy; does he really expect to live to 80??? HAHAHA Seriously though, he looks like he's stacked it on big time in just the past 2 years! He needs a new hobby, one that is more physically stimulating than drawing on Star Wars using digital pens.
PM please :) (sorry mum)
I tried to resize your sig pic for M0TH3R, see what you think...
I find your list a little... strange. For instance:
BTTF3: it has a higher rating on rotten tomatoes, and there's no way you can call it a bad movie!
Alien3: the ONLY reason people didn't like the movie is because they killed Hicks, Newt and then, eventually, Ripley. It's much better than Ressurection or AVP.
Robocop III: Funny you put in T3, but left this out, this was a much worse movie - comparatively speaking - than T3.
Godfather Pt3: By no means as perfect a film as the first two, it is still a great film IMHO. It's not as if Mario Puzo didn't write it...
Rocky III: As sequals go, this one was decent, nowhere near as bad as Rocky V.
What about Saw III - probably the best of the 6 sequals :) Certainly better than the disappointment of Saw II anyway!
I thought the JSC was smere-free but had other problems (like bad color and glue marks or something?) The thread you linked to at the end they were saying the "smear free 93" LD is full of cross-talk, but besides that it had a good review by everyone, so maybe it's a good option if you can convince someone to lend you one.
I still think, and this is my own opinion, that we really only need a few select scenes from a smear-free LD... not necessarily an entire transfer. That way you could up managleable-sized pieces to sendspace or whereever, and re-integrate it into SE or HD/SE-based projects.
It wasn't that long ago that Laserdiscs were the best quality home video format you could buy. Okay... it was 15 years ago, that's not that long. SE fans have forgotten that Lucas made them wait until 2004 for DVD's... even TPM was released on VHS in 1999/2000 and not on DVD! It's like he wanted to wait until the last possible moment to release the films in the DVD format; however there were so many different LD releases before that!
After watching my own GOUT/SE blend of SW, I was happy with the result. However I think for a small number of some of the worst DVNR affected scenes... like the speeder posted above... that it *may* be better to replace the scene with an LD cap.
I'd like to see a good smere-free NTSC disc captured, only because the Pioneer HLD-X9 will be a far better player than any available PAL player and probably provide much better picture if the source LD is good.
Welcome to the forum TP! Unfortunatly I'm not at my comp right now, so I can't dl your test shots yet, but I would personally like to see LD caps of the worst DVNR affected scenes, or just about anything that has been altered by the SE. Your caps look good, I wonder if you can release your "white magic" script when you're ready along with some raw captures? Then your rips could be used in other projects as well! Could you let us know which laserdiscs you have?
Oh also, I've had pretty good success combining the GOUT and SE together, I think it would be useful to repace some of the GOUT with a DVNR-free (should such a thing exist) LD rip. Welcome again, I wish you well on your project!
I don't know who Boon is either, can I join your club? ROFL
Yeah, WTH is facebook??
The Stolen Earth was a thrill because the doctor starts regenerating at the end.. as usual Journey's End was a massive let-down. After all it was the THIRD time RTD had all the daleks spontaneously ceasing to exist in the finale. Well, except for Doomsday, since there's still room for them to come back out of their hole in the void and rage war against the new dalek race (wouldn't that be interesting?) They need to stop writing finals where at the end all the problems suddenly "snap back". And they should do the time-war as an episode with all 4 "modern" doctors; mcgann, eccleston, tennant and smith. Ahh, now that would be interesting...
Haha, made it for his group of "elite buddies"? How useless. Looks like he has a scanned print, sky, not that it's much good if he wants to keep it to himself. Also looks like he went through and corrected all the errors he could find in SW (from that picture on his site depicting a fixed matte), so not a true restoration anyway. Oh well, people are stupid!
Okay, I've upped the 2nd version (and probably the final version). See 1st post for file. Now I can finally start on ESB!
[SPOILER]I disagree, this episode restored my faith in this season. RTD's parting of the ways was one hell of a let-down for a series finale (especially with the Doctor regenerating after just one season), but Army of Ghosts/Doomsday was a really good finale, I'd say the best by far so far. "River Song"/"Melody Pond"... how you can be disappointed with a reveal like that is beyond me!
Here's another SE change, it happens in the clip starting at frame 147763 in the SE. Although it's hard to tell, the SE starts a few frames earlier (at least in th cockpit) and as such ends a few frames earlier too. It's another one of those changes I thought was too trivial to worry about changing myself, but the list wouldn't be complete without it.
I used the GOUT
I lined it up manually and did a blend into SE luma... starting from after the SE Dewbacks.
