The CIA, FBI, and military are not going to share everything with Trump. They don’t trust him, and there’s no chance they shared everything with Obama or Bush or anyone else either.

I am pretty sure if he orders them to, they have to.

If that’s the case we should be getting full disclosure of UFO’s, Bigfoot, Area 51, and such any time now.

😉

They didn’t tell President Whitmore about Area 51 until after the invasion. 😉

Lol! I’m now picturing Darth Vader’s tactics hunting down each Jedi… lulling them into conversation and then suddenly interrupting them mid-sentence as he strikes them down, shouting, “DARTH VADER!!!” at them.

The radio station I was listening to back in the day would randomly have women saying “DARTH VADER!” at the end of MECO’s version of the SW theme. Kind of annoying when you’re trying to tape the song off the radio. 😉

This is amazing.

Is Vader shouting his own name?

The duel is pretty wordy in the comic. Here’s the whole exchange.

Its going to be Lucas burning the materials so the OT stays at 1080p just like his precious Prequels…

AOTC and ROTS are in 2K, which is slightly higher than 1080p.

Keep in mind they cropped a native 16:9 image to 2.35 aspect ratio, so that’s throwing some pixel real estate out the window.

I’m sure someone more knowledgeable about the cameras used on AOTC and ROTS will chime in with the actual technical specs of the cameras used, and the video format the footage was recorded to.

How can it be 4K when the restoration was done in 2K? Unless this is something other?

Really need to find a good spot to hang my copy of the Master’s portrait. 😉

I’ve really rediscovered my love for MST3K recently, I think a certain someone here may have helped with that.

Good timing, with Season 11 premiering next month. 😉

There’s something that just feels wrong about Vader using his lightsaber to seemingly pick up the robe like that.

The rules really had not been set in stone yet. Keep in mind, most if not all of the Marvel adaptation was drawn with only a script, stills and some concept art to work with. The first issue hit the stands a month before the movie was even out.

One of those shots you’d think George would have wanted to “fix” for the SE.

The version of Insurrection I saw on the SciFi channel a few months back looked like a wax museum!

In any event, when the Anne Frank Center has a problem with the joke, that kind of settles it.

Everybody take a deep breath.

And for the record, I don’t think Tim Allen is a bad person. But it was a bloody stupid thing to say.

Tim Allen, a rather irrelevant actor, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, where he bemoaned the tribulations suffered by conservatives in Hollywood. “You gotta be real careful around here,” he told Kimmel. “You get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody else believes. This is like ‘30s Germany.”

Nope! Not even close!

He was obviously not serious.

He’s a comedian, it was a joke, and the audience laughed with him because it was obviously a joke.

He was joking? No way!

Doesn’t change the stupidity of what he said. Not that I honestly care, but come on Tim.

It’s just strange to me to call a comment, that was intended to be a comedic exaggeration, stupid.

Exaggeration does not equal comedy. The sooner people learn this the better, it’s one of the big problems with dumb shits on the internet right now.

Comedy is perhaps the most subjective thing in the world, and there are plenty that disagree with you. What comedy is is not for you or I to decide.

Which explains all the horrid parody movies of the past 17 years. 😉

I think there’s another angle where the cloak completely catches fire as well.

And Frink has to use that shot. 😉

Invoking one of the darkest chapters of the 20th century is fraught with peril, unless you’re Mel Brooks. 😉

People never laugh at tasteless jokes? There are comedians who’ve made a career out of that.

IIRC, that shot is one of the blooper reels and it’s seen being shot in the original making of documentary.

I almost never see anyone in the handicapped seats let alone a wheelchair. The theater I usually go to has some unmarked seats in the same row, and it’s a good spot if you don’t mind being a bit closer to the screen. (And you don’t have to climb over people if nature calls.) Although I sometimes worry someone in the elevated row just behind is going to put their feet up on the railing, and get shoeprints on my head. 😉

Older theaters I recall always had handicapped areas way in the back.

The Disney accountants tallied up all the box office loot…

What was the story behind that?

Word got around about LeFou’s alleged “gay moment” in the film, and the new conservative owners of that drive in freaked out sight unseen. (Russia contemplated a ban, but slapped a rating on it that will keep the impressionable tiny tots away.) The drive in pulled their facebook down, but apparently they were still going to show the latest Pirates Of The Caribbean flick, a franchise to date that’s been chock full of curses, black magic, the undead, and cross dressing buccaneers. All perfectly acceptable christian family entertainment. 😉

Nobody had a problem with Belle falling for a guy who looks like a bison on two legs, then or now.

Disney was definitely banking on people who saw the original taking their kids to see this version. $170 million has got to be a record for this time of year.

Oh brother…
