Well, we used to, about ten years ago?

I like the way you think. :)

Recording it on Super VHS would be ideal. I could do it myself, but the DVD probably has macrovision.

So, the complete SEN scene was on the new 16mm print? *faints*

Is your 1997 Jabba icon meant to be ironic, or picked at random? Just wondering...

Am I breaking some rule? I couldn't do that on purpose, it's not in my character.

But given your finite selection of choices, I'd say ironic.

 Not at all! It just leaped out at me when I saw it. I'd forgotten we have stock user icons. ;)

How badly do you want to be the first person on your block with an Episode 7 action figure? ;)

I'd normally post something like this to the "batsh*t crazy ebay listings" thread, but it's equally relevant here...

I wonder who won this car, and where it is today?

Damn! The eBay guy got back to me and "There Was a Crooked Man" has the 90s WB-in-the-clouds logo on LD.

 I thought you had successfully degraded the logo from the DVD to match the LD? The last test I recall you showing me looked good, being an old Laserdisc guy. ;)

Are these floating around? I heard one on a podcast recently, but I can’t recall if they’ve ever been a DVD extra or not.

Spotted this on Ebay, but way overpriced, as it’s lumped in with several other promotional items…

Palpatine was named in the original Star Wars novelization.

I guess smoke is easier to animate than mutant baboons?

Ming The Merciless sounds pretty corny too. We'll all get used to it eventually. ;)

So, I shouldn't respond to that nice prince somewhere in Africa, who needs my help moving some money around? Seems pretty legit. ;)

My netbook started choking on Windows 7 updates a few weeks back, and none of the remedies or fixes I've tried thus far have done a damn thing to solve the problem.

Other programs seem to have no problems updating, but Windows update just hangs there forever, and downloads nothing. Any ideas?

I never said Yoda was wearing it.

If someone here had it they would have come forward by now. And spambots are going to harvest your email address if you don't change it.

To be honest, the issue with Jedis all wearing Obi Wan's desert hermit garb goes all the way back to '83.

Okay...now that I got that off my chest...I found my WB disc. It's the remastered version seen here...

The first WB disc is part of the wave of Kubrick films rushed out in 1999 after his death, and is probably identical to the MGM disc, except the fixed HAL line and possibly replaced the MGM home video logos. The specs on the back are the same as the MGM.

Still searching for my MGM copy.

Yet 22 people are watching the auction. Go fig...

As I've said many, many, moons ago, I have both early 2001 DVD's. I know they are different because the Warner one has a non animated menu screen, although they kept the sound effects the MGM disc menu had.

Unfortunately, my house is still a mess. When I find them, I will listen for the missing Hal line. Given time, I might even be able to rip the audio track and get them out there for a detailed analysis. Between being a mod, and my so called life, this hasn't been on the top of my to do list.

I would personally love to see a preservation with as many older audio mixes as will fit. I've got the Criterion, MGM, and the early Japanese letterboxed Lasediscs too. (The JP doesn't have the intermission or intro/exit music though.)

I will do my very best to dig out my old DVD's this weekend. Now, everyone please take a stress pill? ;)

Desann was a great villain, whose backstory made me feel bad he couldn't be turned.

Someone ported the Desann model over to Unreal Tournament 2004. So I can have him fight on my side if I want to. ;)

The reformed Empire can be a an equal opportunity employer, and still evil. ;)

Just in case anyone needed more evidence that clowns are pure evil. ;)
