When Did The Star Wars Prequels Become Cool?

I thought this was a Star Wars site but by the look of a lot the new users here it doesn’t seem like that anymore.

I’ve been really weirded out recently by how much energy people have been expending on making sure everyone knows that they’re so totally over Star Wars.

That’s the badge-wearing “I hate Star Wars!” “I hate Disney!” crowd, who hates any new Star Wars regardless of quality (but still of course sees all the new movies multiple times anyway).

That would explain all the people in dark sunglasses, hats, and coats who look like they’re in line at an X-rated movie theater. 😛

Our dog has been pretty miserable the last few nights.

My neighbors dogs tend to freak every time there’s a big boom.

There were idiots firing stuff into the air over New Year’s just down the street. Real fireworks, not just firecrackers. If the roofs had not been soaked from the winter storms, I’m sure there would have been a fire or two to kick off 2017.
The management quietly hired a security guard last month who patrols at night. Hopefully they’ll keep a lid on the shenanigans, at least inside the gates. Plenty of idiots that can fire stuff off in the strawberry fields around here though.

Why am I paying for bi monthly visits from the exterminator if ants are going to invade my house anyway?

Because if you didn’t, they’d probably carry you away in the night while you were sleeping.

Stop peeking into my nightmares. 😉

Seriously, why did my parents let me watch The Outer Limits when I was six? I was convinced these guys would soon come for me. None of the other episodes phased me though.

He also had a history of pestering Adywan on social media. And instant sock puppet only lengthens the ban.

Sock puppets are worthless. Might be the only person on here posting under their true name. Will I be banned for being tired of not wanting to buy anything Star Wars again? Is it better or worse I focus my Blu-ray disc and UHD collection towards movies I truly want to own? Is it bad I pester preservationists and fan editors if they can use an HD source or the Blu-ray disc they’d have far better quality? To not use DVNR or EE?

Sure I used to browse quite a lot but this account I have doesn’t mean shit and is a counterpoint to the one I have on HTF.com and Blu-ray.com

Especially worthless since the deployment of the Sockbuster3000 last year.

There’s a fine line between asking questions and constantly threadcrapping on stuff you don’t like.

As for real names, it’s purely a personal choice. I don’t want George showing up on my doorstep, especially on such a nice Sunday afternoon. 😃

Can’t the person who made the costume fix these things?

I’m the person who made it.

I’m not going to go any further with it now. It’s time to put the wampa to rest

jedimasterobiwan said:

Can’t you edit a wampa in through cgi?

No

Okay, but please don’t throw it out or anything. Maybe put it up for sale? I wouldn’t mind a Wampa suit to chase all the Taun Tauns I’ve seen at cons the past few years. 😉

Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo

In theory, they probably could give him the boot. It’s a privately held company, and there are other ways to post your brainfarts on the interwebs. His followers can scream “boycott twitter!” all they want, but they don’t really have anyplace else to go. There is no alternative to twitter, except blogs and sites that require a bit more computer literacy to use.
It’s funny the stuff he’s said would get him banned around here.

Info: Dragon Ball Z, and the Dragon Ball series in general...

The quality of the show isn’t the relevance to the project, but whether there is a preservation to be done.

Some animation in the more recent years, prior to the HD switch, was done in digital SD, and there is no point to a BluRay release. I believe original Naruto falls into that category.

It’s Blu-ray disc. Not BluRay, BlueRay, Blu-ray DVD, etc.
Naruto is fucktarded and completely for weeaboos. One Piece sucks donkey dick too. There’s absolutely no reason why the majority of these series need to be over 400~700 episodes.
Isn’t there Dragon Ball Super? Another stupid thing for me to not give a toss about. Why not preserve some live-action Disney movies in OAR and HD?

tl;dr I’m fucking done.

Yes you are.

And FYI, there are Disney preservation projects going on if you bothered to look around.

Some people need to get hobbies and get off their holier-than-thou high horse over a movie.

Titanic (1997) is completely overrated, IMO. The Blu-ray disc release isn’t good enough for you rabid fans?
Typing more about James Cameron, really hoping the Avatar sequels go shit at the box office.

Given the long lines for the Avatar rides that opened recently at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park in Orlando, I think there’s still a bit of interest.

And no more thread crapping.

I was disappointed there wasn’t an actual revenant in the movie. I mean, c’mon – who wouldn’t have wanted to see DiCaprio turn into one of these:

(I jest, of course. I quite liked The Revenant just fine for what it was, though I could barely understand a word that come out of Hardy’s mouth.)

I want my cake, Bedelia! It’s Father’s Day, Bedelia!

Bad news… The wampa is being scrapped

Did a full costume test fitting of the wampa today and it’s just not working. One disaster after another. Claustrophobia and heat are a huge factor in the problems. But also the head slipping, causing the mouth not to open. It would take stripping out the inner head and remaking it. Months worth of work. But i’ve spent too much time and money on it now and i really don’t think that spending the extra is worth it. It was a long shot that failed and I’m sorry. I really wanted to be able to do this. But there comes a time when you just have to stop. Maybe its the curse of the Wampa. 😉

Good news… ESB:R will be out very soon. Check back in a couple of days for an update…

Can’t the person who made the costume fix these things? And maybe find someone who can fit the suit who doesn’t have claustrophobia issues? I know at least one person who does mascot costumes professionally for a theme park who could possibly give advice.

I could have sworn the person in question had passed away. I am glad that I was mistaken about that.

This is getting trickier to discuss without spoilers. 😃

If you’re thinking of the person from 2013, no they have not passed away! If you’re thinking of someone else, yes they certainly have.

I was thinking the person from 2013 had passed away. I knew the someone else had passed away a long time ago.

The second actor to play that role passed less than a year after playing the part.
