There’s probably enough Lucas dialog in the documentaries and commentary tracks to have him actually say that.
If Frink has the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD release with the fake out opening, he might be able to edit and lift the projectionist’s dialog. It’s sadly not on the Blu Ray, probably for licensing reasons.

Playing the American Graffiti soundtrack over the Biggs scenes could work too.

Wolfman Jack could be heard on the radio in Fixer’s garage and Luke’s Landspeeder. 😃

Loved how Riker’s flashbacks contained cutaways he couldn’t possibly have seen!

This must have been the easiest episode to remaster in HD, for obvious reasons. 😉

If you’re still reading the thread, try this on for size.

Warb, nobody was suggesting you remove it completely.

Can one actually format their sig that way though?

She said “Fight the real enemy!” And no, no one was confused.

um, I think the powers that be at SNL were confused enough that they decided to never let back on SNL again and apologized for her actions. I don’t think they did that because they want to hide child molesters.

They were were probably simply covering their asses. Network suits still feared boycotts back then, and by the 90’s SNL was a franchise and not the edgy renegade late night comedy show that often bit the corporate hand that fed it.

They did seem to revisit the idea with her colleague who was full Betazoid and born with their abilities fully “switched on” in the Tin Man episode.

Troi is laughably ridiculous in Farpoint. What did she say at the end? “Good tidings and joy for all!” or something like that. SAD!

‘Great joy and gratitude…’ eurgh!

I did think ‘The Boy’ Wesley was going to end being Picard’s son in the first few seasons - Picard and Beverley always seemed have that awkward thing going on, and it seemed the obvious place for the writers to go with Picard really not liking children…

She was translating the emotional vibes she was getting from giant matter transforming space jellyfish. She probably didn’t have to say it three times.
They did tone down her getting too emotional all the time after the pilot.

The point is that you think it’s getting worse and worse. Which is funny. Because black people would probably say what is getting worse and worse is the police killing them. But you know, protesting during the anthem is the real problem.

I think both are a problem. Obviously the wrongful killing of African Americans is a more serious problem. This does not mean that people protesting the anthem is not a problem.

It isn’t.

In your opinion.

He might think that SNL is an inappropriate venue for such a statement. I personally think it’s one of the most beautiful and stunning protests ever done by a musician.

I don’t think I’d call it beautiful.

It was a bold, brave, and beautiful action by a bold, brave, and beautiful woman. She timed and planned it all perfectly so that the producers wouldn’t expect it and would be unable to cut it because it was live, and she pulled out the picture as she sang the final lyric, “Evil”. And who could forget, “Fight the real enemy!” It gives me the chills every time I see it. She was so ahead of her time with it too.

agree to disagree.

I would ask why you object to her but I think that would be a can of worms not worth opening.

Somehow tearing up a pic of the Pope on live tv without any explanation given doesn’t seem like a good way of protesting. It also seems to offensive to Catholics that had nothing to do with the scandal. Do you think it would be ok to protest 911 by tearing up a pic of Muhammad on live tv without giving any explanation?

There was an explanation given.

She took the pic, tore it up, said nothing. That is not an explanation.

She changed the lyrics of the Marley song to refer to child abuse before she tore up the picture.

Do you honestly think people really had an idea why she tore up the pic? There is reason why people disliked her for awhile after that pic and it is not because people approve of the Catholic Church covering for child molesters.

Who cares if it’s offensive?

many people.

Well, I’m sure the victims of the priests that got away with rape and abuse have it a little worse than being offended by an SNL stunt.

If the person whose picture you’re tearing up was, at least tacitly, involved in the cover up of the scandals, then you shouldn’t fear offending people that respect him.

We are talking about Religion here, its complicated.

I don’t agree. I don’t see why it’s okay to talk about how evil people like Trump are when we all know plenty of people worship him, but it’s not okay to do the same to the pope or people in positions like his. Why does religion get a pass? Especially when we’re talking about a man that is a religious figure. She didn’t tear up a picture of Jesus Christ or anything like that. I would get people’s complaints a little more if that were the case.

Hell, I think it’d all be okay even without cause and explanation honestly. They’re men, not gods. That said, in the context of protest, it’s fair, effective, intense, and powerful. In the case of Sinéad’s performance, beautiful.

agree to disagree

Nope. I don’t agree to disagree. If you don’t want to talk about this then you’ll just have to admit that you’re walking away from the discussion. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but agreeing to disagree tends to be a mutual decision.

By the way, I’m rarely into the whole “agree to disagree” thing. I don’t like opinions that dramatically differ from mine. Who does?

too bad.

Don’t you think that’s offensive to insane people like me that don’t like opinions that dramatically differ from my own?

*sigh*

What? I thought you cared about being offensive?

IIRC, she said Fight the real power when she tore up the photo.

I forgot about that. In any case, I am pretty sure people at the time were confused as to why she did what she did.

She said “Fight the real enemy!” And no, no one was confused.

Been ages since I’ve seen the actual incident. (It was cut from rebroadcasts ever since.) Thanks for the correction.

Or were too busy being outraged to bother finding out why she did what she did.

IIRC, she said Fight the real power when she tore up the photo. When Madonna appeared on SNL sometime afterward she spoofed it by saying the same thing as she tore up a picture of Joey Buttafuoco.

Wow, I had no idea the restoration crossed that line.

Also, a better source for the colorized version does exist.

I recall an old Starlog article getting into BTTF theories and how many Marty’s there are and such. I’ll have to look around on archive.org and see if they have the issue it appeared in.

Black Holes only lead to different parts of the same timeline.

That’s not what the Disney movie taught me. 😛

I concur.

It’s Max Von Sydow. His character has to be killed off in a genre film no matter what. I think it’s in his contract or something. 😉

Flash Gordon. Impaled on spiked nose of spaceship

Conan The Barbarian. Killed by Thulsa Doom goons. Deleted scene but still counts as a kill.

Strange Brew. Electrocuted by vengeful ghost.

Dune. Stillsuit slashed and left in desert to die.

Dreamscape. Murdered by Blair or his henchmen.

I’m sure there are other examples.

Did anyone else have the problem when you were a kid of your older siblings tickling you to the point where you couldn’t even fucking breathe?

I remember this happening to me a lot when I was little and am unsure of how common it is. I’d honestly rather have been beaten up.

My dad used to do that when I was little. My Mom put her foot down when it got out of hand.

Carrie Fisher would have been 61 today.

The general public also doesn’t realize that grain is part of film, so none of this is surprising.

Shows how much digital has taken over in the past 17 years. Did people ever complain their 35mm family photos were too grainy?

Fang Zei said:

The next time you hear someone say film isn’t hd, remind them that The Shield - a show shot in 16mm - is being remastered in 4k.

That’s interesting, as the guy who did the Manos The Hands of Fate restoration made his case for 2K being more than enough to capture the information held in the original 16mm elements. The Shield was probably shot under better conditions though. 😉

No Slaughter of the Younglings diorama? ;P

I think Remick’s gory death in TNG’s Conspiracy comes pretty close. I’m not even going to link to an image, it’s that gruesome.

The most shocking and gruesome death in all of TOS wasn’t bloody or particularly violent.

This scene freaked me out when I was a kid, and I still don’t like watching this part. It also played against viewer expectations that the redshirt always bites it.
On the flip side of the same coin, I wonder if there were bloopers where the rest of the cubed crew got accidentally stepped on?
