Sadly, it’s a cropped to 1.85 print Disney did too often with their pre widescreen films in the 80’s.

How many theater recordings of other movies of the era are floating around? I’ve heard an excerpt of Halloween with a 1978 audience on youtube.

I do concur that Hutt may have been originally a title not a species name, as it would be like calling Vito Corleone Vito the Italian.

Ziro is the abomination from Rebels.

I agree Jabba should be the only Hutt.

Hey! I liked Ziro. And unless he’s not dead, he only appeared in Clone Wars.

When Obi Wan comes in to land on Kamino, you can see another “oil rig” in the background.

Presumably there are more than two, but can’t be seen in the rain and general murk. (IIRC, we see a lot more of Kamino in the TCW series.) That Obi Wan lands on the one where the head guy happens to be, and Jango has his swinging bachelor pad is a coinkydink.

There are other Kaminoans, you just have to look harder.



As to why there seems to be so few of them around the facility, I presume Obi Wan showed up on a weekend.

I still chuckle at the soup ladle/ice cream scoop chairs they sit in. 😉

They don’t look like they would be comfortable for either species to sit in very long.

Did Luke tell Han and Leia where he was going after the rescue on Tatooine? Did he tell Leia about Yoda at all?

It might have been easier to try and make Harrison look younger and just reshoot the scene since the full size Falcon was handy.

Dr. Forrester wasn’t kidding when he said he had been wanting to inflict Golan Globus movies on the Satellite of Love gang for quite some time.
Got my fingers crossed the new series gets their hands on more.

The late Mr. Akkad, (his son keeps the franchise going now) has always owned a piece of the Halloween pumpkin pie. The first film likely would never have happened without him putting up the money.
I know Carpenter has said at least once over the years he didn’t want to stand in the way of Akkad’s right to make more films. The story goes Carpenter was only able to crank out the Halloween 2 script by drinking a lot of beer.
Carpenter gets a cut of the sequels and the Rob Zombie remakes if only because the Halloween theme he composed is used.

It was announced this year Carpenter is returning to the franchise as executive producer on a new entry in 2018. I’d bet it’s going to ignore most of the sequels.

If you saw cue marks at reel changes, it was probably film.

I haven’t seen 35mm since 2012. The local bargain theater went all digital soon after. No idea if they kept their projectors. That’s a lot of gear to rip out though.

Season of the Witch would have been better received had it not been passed off as a sequel. I had the killer video pumpkin (ripped from an LD of the film) going on an old analog tv in my window last Halloween. 😃

They were either being deliberately evasive or just don’t know. We’re probably already at a point were people in their mid teens have never seen 35mm projected. It’s downhill from there.

I’d like to see MST3K take on some of the lesser sequels. Especially the one with the goofy cult that’s controlling Michael for no adequately explored reason. It’s the midichlorian explanation for what was best left ambiguous.

Watched a lot of Rocky and Bullwinkle as a kid, but June will always first and foremost be remembered by me as Talky Tina, the original doll from hell in the Twilight Zone.

LOL!

His book was a best seller in the '70’s and a documentary was made based on it. Which begat a whole slew of imitations. I ate that stuff up as a kid, but now simply enjoy how these cheesy things manipulate facts and make the rest up. I even spoofed them back in my college days.
All the Shick-Sunn Classics Pictures documentaries, (which covered everything from Noah’s Ark, the Bermuda Triangle, and Lincoln conspiracies) don’t seem to have a legit DVD release.

I thought Von Daniken had been debunked back in the 80’s even?

Wasn’t The Mooch the often referred to but unseen bully on Diff’rent Strokes?

Pretty sure I’ve suggested it in the proper place before, but ok.

Whoa, Priebus just got the boot. Wonder if they even told him before it hit twitter?

I’ll bet there was an epic stream of profanity uttered in the White House last night. Some of which will defy attempts at transcription for decades.

Only die hard movie fans would have even noticed in the early days of home video. And it was a lot harder to compare different versions of a film unless you had access to film prints.
I didn’t realize how much ABC censored the Bond films until I saw them uncut on HBO circa 1981.
Super 8 digests of CE3K came out around the same time they did for Star Wars. No idea if there ever was a full length Derann release in the UK.
I don’t think any of those early home video incarnations ever appeared without the Special Edition above the title. Lucasfilm dropped the SE moniker on the OT by the time it appeared on DVD.

I’m sure if I dug into back issues of Starlog or Cinefantastique, I could find a letter or two lamenting the lack of a theatrical CE3K. 😉

He fights the Gorn every weekend. 😉
He’s certainly aging better then he did in The Deadly Years.
