Ripplin

Someone at another forum where I posted that pic just asked me why I didn't like the sound effects and I said "They sounded exactly like the Star Wars prequel trilogy, which were one of the biggest problems with it for me. Mr. Burtt (whos work I loved in earlier films!), is on this major warbling kick. Kirk's bike, Spock's ship, other ships, etc...all do this irritating warbling thing that I hate. It's hard to explain, but the engines can't just sound normal, they all have to 'wawawawawawawawawa...' and I hate it. The worst for me was that green creature in the arena in Attack of the Clones doing it?! Oh, and the hand phasers sounded goofy, too. Like spitting watermelon seeds or something.

It may be a very small, almost insignificant thing for some, but it's big for me. "

The only Rifftrax I've watched/listened to so far was Plan 9 From Outer Space (which I like without any riffing). It was ok. Very hit-and-miss, which I imagine they all are.

I don't remember. :p Is the old one on YouTube as well?

Saw it tonight. It was ok, I guess. Fun but pointless. :p Was a bit 'too much' for me at times, like Transformers was.

Sadly, this is my biggest comment on it:

^A festering bowl of dog snot?*

*UHF reference there. :)

Looks pretty pro, A-M. :) Interesting logo.

^Total of 500, Chainsaw; 250 inbox, 250 sent.

I actually hit or was extremely close to 500 and it told me it was full.

Thanks for the nice reply, Jay! :D I don't know if it's a problem for a lot of people, but I just didn't notice I had so many. Oh well, that just means I've had a lot of nice conversation here.

^The Adywan logo is on ANH:R as well, in case you didn't know, focuspuller...as has just been stated cuz he posted first. ;) I see it more as a bit of fun than a bit of ego. I don't see him as that kind of guy.

24th of june is THE BIG PREMIERE OF TRANSFORMERS 2!

I didn't even know they were making another one. :p

Anyway, uh...thanks for the reply! Haha. I'll have to try a color correction of my own sometime. Don't really know how, but whatever.

Hey vaderios! What do you use for screen captures? And what happens on the 24th of June? ;)

Love that one of Dooku and his pals. Looks so natural. :)

I wish I could show you an image of what I have, but I only know windows vista has that capability.

You can do that with any version. Just hit the 'Print Scr' button on your keyboard, then open a program like MS Paint and go to 'Edit' and hit 'Paste.' It'll paste whatever was on the screen.

Yep, no problem. Just PM me your address.

^Yep, VLC plays VOBs. :)

Wawaweewa! :D The lighting seems a little...off...in certain places, but overall, very schway!

The last anniversary was so unheralded, I dunno if they'll do much for the film that many hate the most out of the six. But then again, GL thought the way Jar Jar speaks would be the hot new thing for kids to imitate, so maybe they'll fool themselves into thinking people will want a huge celebration for the movie. :p

A new restoration would be good for the faneditors, I suppose.

^You may have read something out of context. The raw file is for me to do a sort of quality control scan on, no more, no less. The 700 MB .avi is made from that file, so people will basically see the same thing anyway. The ultimate objective will always be the full DVD with menus near the end of the year.

I do think the donation thing is a little bit early to talk about as well. ;) If it becomes necessary, we'll see when the time comes. Probably won't even be necessary in the end.

^Maybe he meant he has 8-and-a-half discs because one of them cracked in half!

Ok, maybe not.

You want I should mail you a DVD-9? I just got a bunch today. You could even mail it back in the same package. :p

Yeah, I prefer the second version too, vaderios. Nice work! (as usual)

Thanks! I have to go to work now, but I'll watch it when I get back. :)

Nice idea! For shots where you need to show the 2003 Hulk, despite being long shots, maybe you could just make him a bit darker to blend better with the 2008 version.

You know, it might sound weird, but overall, I was more impressed by how Hulk looked in the '03 version, especially given how much older it is and how much better they could've done with the '08 one. :p At least the '08 one was more consistently-sized.

Have you seen Jorge's edit of the 2003 version, chickenfish? I love it! http://fanedit.org/280/

I'd watch the holiday special before I'd watch the prequels again.  At least the holiday special is funny in its own demented way.

I dunno if I'd go that far, but yeah, the HS is kinda somewhat sorta amusing at times. I did think the part where Korman is the robot that keeps breaking was funny. Oh, and Mark Hamill's makeup was funny, too. ("Shinier! More intense!")

Saw it in a small theater and left said theater confused more than anything. It didn't feel like Star Wars! Midichorians? Virgin birth? (please...) Annoying kid? Strangle-worthy CG idiot? Convoluted storyline? (which I still don't fully understand! Do I need to be a political expert or something?) ARGH!

The only positives for me were the pod race and the lightsaber battle (the closing force field thing was cool), two effects/stunt scenes, which are not what a movie should be about. It's supposed to be a big sweeping epic, not a tech demo. I do think that Liam Neeson did a nice job.

Anyway, despite all that, I don't hate the movie...just Jar Jar. To that end, I have enjoyed several fanedits of the movie and look forward to more! :p
