Please, nobody get any funny ideas and write Disney/Lucasfilm as if you’re a spokesperson for this site. In fact, don’t mention us at all.

Kind of a silly lawsuit, but imagine if somebody sued over the SE’s being passed off as the originals? 😉
Rob Bottin is one of the few movie monster makeup gods. Pity he’s all but dropped out of sight.
Seriously?

You didn’t like the remakes of The Thing or The Fly?You suck at things.
The Thing (2011) was not a remake, it was a prequel and yes I did like it.
“John Carpenter’s The Thing” is a remake of “The Thing From Another World”.
Yes, but arguably Carpenter’s version is much more faithful to the source material.

…and this is why you need to be more active here, darth_ender. Not because you’ll find a lot of agreement, and not because you’ll find a satisfyingly wide range of opinions, because who am I kidding?
But because without a vocal conservative on board (and I’m intentionally excluding our libertarians because they agree with liberals half the time anyway), there’s no balance. Not the Fox News “Fair and Balanced” where bullshit is provided to balance out facts (Fo, we hardly knew ye), but real balance, where fundamental differences in values make for a consistent, logical, and fundamentally different view of the exact same facts we all share.
Thanks for the time and effort you spent spelling it out. And no I don’t agree with you, but that’s okay. I’d still be happy to invite you over for
beersodawater sometime 😉Do you think it’ll work, guys? Do you think I suckered him in? Boy I sure hope so! (maniacal liberal laugh)
I do wonder where Ferris has been.
Trumpy makes threats, now North Korea ups the ante. This isn’t looking good.
Well, I live on the west coast, so I was worried already. 😉
Oh man, how long has that site been up? They even have a twitter.
Would twitter shut down an account selling bootlegs?
If I have to hear one more bullshit fear mongering story about North Korea…
Uh, politics thread?
I’ve been binge watching the Goosebumps show (brilliance), and I can name at least one thing bad about the nineties:
Bowl cuts have been around longer than that.
In other news:

President Trump addressed the ongoing crisis between the U.S. and North Korea at a briefing on opioids in New Jersey on Tuesday, issuing a stern warning to the regime for its continued provocations.
“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” warned Mr. Trump from his golf club in Bedminster.
“They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen,” he told reporters. “He has been very threatening – beyond a normal statement,” Mr. Trump said of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. “As I said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.”
Humanity has had a good run.
I’m not going to panic unless all the Dolphins suddenly leave.
Besides, they probably didn’t give Trump the real Football. It’s just a briefcase with a bunch of flashing lights from a pinball machine, and one of those big red Staples Easy buttons with Nuke stenciled on it.
Do you include me in your list of “self-righteous jerks”? You did say “I can’t engage with any of you.”.
I’m tired and irritable and not in the mood to put up with how liberals describe my views on abortion. You’re not part of that crowd. This thread is just not fun anymore, and this is why hardly post in it anymore.
Oh, shut up. We weren’t describing your views on abortion. We were discussing what labels regarding stance on abortion may (or may not) be more (or less) accurate in general, and our individual opinions of why they might or might not be accurate.
Now, instead of using liberal as an epithet and putting everyone of apparently opposing view in a box while complaining about how they put you in a box, why don’t you be an adult and actually try having an intelligent rational conversation.
Okay, let’s keep it civil in here. Last time we had an abortion debate, it didn’t end well for some.
The Donald saber rattling makes me nervous.
Not sure if we’ve updated the rules to include digital releases, but I’ll consult with my fellow mods.
The window between theatrical and video is getting freakishly short this year. What are the studios going to save for the holiday season?
As someone already got their grubby hands on pence2020.com, are there any other variations we could register for fun and profits? 😉
As the movie isn’t out on Blu Ray in the U.S. yet, (or is it?) not sure if this thread is bending the rules or not.
Carrying on a bit of tradition as around the time of Raiders and ROTJ, Kenner figures and some SW model kits were being utilized by ILM.
What’s wrong with obsessing over the 90’s? We had internet, social media was mercifully nonexistent, and Laserdiscs still ruled. 😉
I suppose, but as there are supposed to be only so many pockets of civilization on Tatooine, would there be that many differences? Of course, George may have wanted to dodge the whole Jedi robes look a lot like Tatooine farmer clothing issue. 😉
Didn’t think of that.
The crowds may have been fake, but at least it was a practical effect. 😉
I was talking about the close-ups with the worse-than-Cantina rubber masks.
Yeah, some of those guys probably should never have been seen in closeup.
The “human” extras bug me a bit.
We don’t see people remotely dressed like this on Taootine in the the original film, let alone the facepaint.
The crowds may have been fake, but at least it was a practical effect. 😉
Frink’s version of the Pod Race scene is pretty good.
Robot Chicken reveled the real reason Luke wanted to go to Tosche Station.

Maybe there are some more lost episodes in the pipeline, I hope? Would be nice if Web of Fear #3 could be recovered from who ever knicked it after it was finally found in the first place. Those kind of shenanigans give film collectors a bad name.
