If it has Japanese subtitles only during the songs, it's from the laserdisc. If they're through the entire film, it's from the Japanese VHS.

I need some tech help with my smartphone(was: Anyone here know anything about smart phones?(was: Anyone here know anything about cell phones?))
Time
Hey there.

I saw your post about how you were looking for a prepaid cell plan. I recently found a deal where you can get a Nokia cell phone and 200 minutes of usage for only $20 and I suggested it to a friend of mine to give to her 13 year old son. She's been thanking me up and down since as it was perfect for him.

If you're interested in the details, I can send you a link. Just email me directly at rwafford1 at yahoo dot com .

I don't benefit from this at all. I've got my own standard plan. Just thought I'd share.

What is the rarest video in your collection?
Time
My rarest videos have got to be the 1979 release of The Making of Star Wars from Magnetic Video and then the 1982 Twentieth Century Fox Video "rental only" release of Star Wars. Both are in excellent condition.

I bought the "Making of" video a few years ago, but the Star Wars video was the very first VHS tape I ever bought. I got it while working in one of the first video rental departments of a Licorice Pizza record store back in 1983. The store was supposed to return the rental only videos to Twentieth Century Fox after a period of time, but the manager held one back and sold it to me for $90. I found out later that the manager had pocketed the money because the store had already paid Fox for the "loss" of the tape.

Return of Pink Five Volume 1 is now online!
Time
Just thought I'd pass this along. This series has come a long way from the original Pink Five being shot with a green screen and an office chair. Check out Pink Five, Pink Five Strikes Back, and the first volume of Return of Pink Five here...

THE PINK FIVE FILMS

I really hope this series gets a DVD release. It represents some of the cream of the crop of Star Wars fan films!

***The Official RowMan*** Release Thread
Time
Star Wars to Jedi & Classic Creatures were the ones that had a Japanese release with subtitles. The quality is only slightly better than the unsubtitled VHS versions. On my discs, Making of SW and SP FX were taken from Rikter's laserdisc captures and Star Wars to Jedi & Classic Creatures were taken from my own official VHS releases. Whether from VHS, US laserdisc, or Japanese laserdisc, the video quality of any of these documentaries was never very good.

I remember that I had recorded on Betamax from a clean signal Star Wars to Jedi when it was originally broadcast on my local PBS station. The official VHS doesn't look that much better.
