I'm super fussy about rap/hip hop myself. Most of the stuff I like is pretty old now. Eric B. & Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, early Busta Rhymes, even The Fat Boys.
This 80s sports medley with Kool Moe Dee, Young MC and KRS-One is great:

Young MC wins by a mile. Smoooooooth. :)

I think we should force Ziggy to listen to "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" until he likes it.
No, gotta go older than that. "Parents Just Don't Understand" or something like that. ;)

^Why not? Is there any fun left in rap anymore?
I'm sorry, but I never liked rap.
Well, there's the problem. :p
That turned out really well! Congrats. :)

That would be most ridiculous indeed. :)
Here's another one for Dumb and Dumber: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLDx-BPgxxA
Yeah, I'm sure it can be worked out somehow, even if not perfectly timed. Have fun! (you probably could do it, like the horns going BAHHH when on the droids, then cut to a Gungan reaction, back to the BAHHH droids, etc...)
Yep, that's it. Have you seen the reworked Ghostbusters trailer that uses it? It's pretty great.
What about that music from Inception that everyone is ripping off? :p
The problem is, as many as they are and as ominous as it may seem, our brains already know that they're kinda useless. :p
Ah, now I get the Theed line. It seemed familiar, but not familiar enough.

Indy reference?
No, Stella.

- Michael Ian Black: Yeah, call Marcus.
- Michael Showalter: Who's Marcus?

Never heard of it.
You should! (hear of it)

Again, don't forget to check out "Superman Redeemed", y'alls!
Funny you should say that.
I was looking at the info page of this fan edit the other day, and that is what made me look at Quest for Peace. I was just so amazed at how bad it was for me this viewing. It must just be the getting older thing.
I felt the same last time I watched III. Loved the stuff with the robot lady when younger (the idea is still cool), but now it's just so dumb in many ways.
You should just grab that el cheapo 4-in-1 pack.

Is there a way to 'view first unread' here? That would be supremely handy.
My suggestion over at FE was accidentally the same as tim's (who isn't using his Lego self!). My other was "my bowling arm!" for the droid that gets hit.
Didn't realize it was a Rinzler book. That means top quality! Could even help ESB:R somehow if the final designs are in it.
Like many others, I enjoyed the Special Editions (SE), though not entirely. There were some additions I thought were nice, but more that I thought were pointless and somewhat juvenile. I was not surprised, as we started seeing a lot of that in Return of the Jedi (ROTJ), what with the belching and Tarzan yells.
When news of The Phantom Menace (TPM) came along, I was somewhat excited (because it was Star Wars, after all!), but keeping it in check. I'm also the type that hates spoilers, and since my subscription to Star Wars Insider (SWI) magazine was turning into spoiler central, I started having to ignore it somewhat. Not fun! (Same thing happened with Jabba the Hutt in the SE with a gatefold cover they did.) But really, the marketing of the movie was so aggressive and pervasive that it eventually became nigh impossible to keep the spoilers at bay. When I got that issue of SWI with Darth Maul on the cover, that was pretty much my 'whatever, I'll just go with it' moment.
That may have been the impetus to start taping everything TPM-related on TV that I could find, often having the VCR (my faithful then-young Sharp) on standby for commercial breaks during shows I didn't even watch just because I knew that channel was playing certain ads! Lots of fluff, but there were some segments I taped that I still enjoy now, such as the Extra! report on bootlegging. Very interesting! There were also rare original trilogy clips shown here and there that I was happy to see as well.
Looking back, I don't know why I continued these taping practices after I'd seen the movie, but I did. I know that part of it was to see how many others felt as I did about it, as I knew there would be backlash segments. I walked out of the theater more confused than anything. I'm not into politics, so a movie being loaded with politics was a big strike against it for me. I admit that I still don't fully understand parts of it, though that's more down to apathy than anything. The pod race and Darth Maul were cool enough, but then there were the...midichlorians? What? And the virgin birth?! Like, gag me with a spoon! Oh, and Yoda looked ridiculous as well. And, of course, there was Jar Jar, whose presense and antics cranked up the silliness introduced in ROTJ to 11. I'm so glad that he didn't become the hip character every kid would start talking like, as Lucas intended. I'm sure many old school Star Wars fans who were now parents threatened to disown their kids if they ever uttered a line spoken by that despicable character. ;)
So, there you have it; a little history on the tape and how it was made. As 'meh' a moment/movie as it turned out to be in the end, that summer really was a special time for the then 21-year-old me, never to be repeated, at least not to the same extent. Thanks to none's excellent assistance, I'm finally able to share it with people that care about such things rather than keeping the tape in an old drawer, unwatched and getting moldy, probably. I was just going to do a straight transfer, but he offered to gussy it up for me. :)
Enjoy!

Or you could wear them backwards to make you feel like Kris Kross.
Reminds me of my Gort, except for the sleeves.

Is it square or something?
