I watched a few minutes of RotJ on Spike the other night

Man, they are playing the Star Wars movies to death! :p They'll be lost when their contract runs out.

"Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps."

Might want to skip the crisps, though.

 

I've always preferred the word "crisps" to "chips." Even though I'm from the U.S., for some reason crisps sound so much tastier. One of those weird word preferences, I guess.

It's funny, my boss was born in England, but has been in Canada since he was 8, so he's nearly 100% Canadian by now and has been for decades, but every once in a while, he'll use some term like 'packet of crisps' and I think 'not a bag of chips?!' Haha.

Man the sabers already look so much better now! Can't wait to see a rotoscoped one! ;)

Yes, that'll be nice, but I think they look way better in motion, too. When I saw the repainted lasers and sabers in screenshots for ANH:R, I was a little...undecided on them. When I saw them in motion, though, they looked very nice!

I don't suppose there's any "official" cover art for this? I've gots lots of possibilities, but nothing that screams perfection...

As Ripplin points out, there are plenty of possiblities, but nothing can beat an original painting by the editor himself.

Hey, I don't remember if Ady has said he's doing paintings for ESB and/or ROTJ! Is that a possibility, Ady?

Wow, I didn't know Rebel Transport ships were purple! :p An now they're not. ;)

One thing that stands out to me with the color corrections is that the detail around lights and such gets sharper. Looks nice, Ady.

I haven't read that since it was first released, so the reference is lost on me. I read a lot of them in a short period of time and I forget nearly everything now. :p

Second, what does Tatooine have to celebrate? They were ruled by the Hutts, not the empire, and they were ruled by gangsters even when the Republic was in control in the prequel trilogy. What does the defeat of the empire mean to them?

Perhaps they're sympathetic of all the planets that are miserable under Imperial control, possibly much worse than they have it with the Hutts? It's like a disease that anyone would be happy to see defeated, right? ;)

Look how a helmet changed voices in ROTJ for Leia as Boussh....evrything was "Yo-to!" like a Galactic Teletubbie!

Oh man... The voice work in Jedi is so lazy! They re-use Greedo lines verbatim, "Boussh" has an incredibly limited vocabulary, Bib Fortuna doesn't know whether to speak Huttese or "basic", etc... It would be cool if Ady had the exact method to make Boussh's voice and record something new. :p

Most ISP's have free USNET access

I read that and thought 'yeah, my ISP's idea of storage space for its users is to tell the to go to Geocities...', so the thought of free usenet was a bit of a laugh. I looked it up and apparently, they ended access to usenet on December 15, 2005! Haha. And it seems only 3% of customers used it. I wonder what that number would be now.

Yes, we keep giving him suggestions (I even PM'd him), but I don't know if he's done anything yet. ;) Come on, Josh, there are lots of things you could do. :)

Jumping right into FX work, huh? No rest for the...well, you're far from wicked, I would say. ;) No caravan holiday, then? Heh.

Thanks for the update, JD! I kiiiiinda want to watch it, but kinda don't, as I'd love to see the whole thing fresh when it's released. I don't know, we'll see. :p

It's going to be a while...

Nice to know you're planning to do it, though! :) I hadn't heard one way or the other.

After reading what I just posted, I thought 'My God are we Anal!' LOL

Not sure if that has been mentioned.....sorry if it has.

Don't worry about it. But yes, we've been called anal many times. ;)

I would be happy if Fett wasn't in the movie at all. His appearance is pretty much wasted. I think it would be neat to have him solely as the ESB guy that got Solo. We know it was him who brought Han to Jabba, and it could be like he just moved on to his next bounty. One major job down, onto the next one. ;)

Now it's just up to me to organize the files/recordings on my hard drive in such a way that another person can easily find everything...

I smiled when I read that. I know I wouldn't want to have to do that! :p Kinda like I'd never want a maid cleaning up my room, cuz I'd never be able to find anything again.

There is region coding on Blu-ray actually

B'oh! Yes, I meant to say no region coding on the PS3 Blu-Ray... Heh. I actually have Tiger Woods '08 in PAL and it's not an issue. Thanks, guys.

I'm sure I'll sound like a broken record, at least to Adywan, but would there be any NTSC/PAL issues with these? I know Blu-Ray is region free, but these would be on DVD-9s, so...? Sorry, but at least if you tell me now, I won't have to ask again. :p

That problem rears its ugly head again... Very strange. Might want to PM one of the people in charge of the site. They may know what's going on.

Oh, and Spike has been on a serious Star Wars binge the last couple of months, huh?! I guess they're gonna play them to death while they have the rights to. But it kinda reminds me of TBS, which played some movies (like "Zoolander", not that that's a bad thing) ad nauseum!

^That thing is pretty cool! :)

I like it better without the extra line as well, for whatever it's worth. ;) It's unnecessary.

Maybe you need to update your browser or something? I just updated to Firefox 3.0.1, so that's why I thought of that. Or maybe you need to empty your cache? I had to do that once because avatars were not updating here.

You sure are sometimes. ;)
