Where did I say I was against moderation here? I just don't want to have to be the one to do it. It was never part of the job description when I accepted this gig, and I'm feeling stretched pretty thin lately.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

I've been hoping for years that would actually become a movie, with ridiculously over the top 3D effects of course. ;)
Ah, ok. Noscript must have been blocking it before. Whole lot of crap that has to be temporarily whitelisted on that page. ;)
Very interesting. I'm sure the usual suspects will find a way to discredit it. ;)
JEDIT:Where's the actual poll? I don't see it...
I wonder if Weird Al will come up with an Episode 7 song before the year is out? He wrote The Saga Begins mostly from plot spoilers.
I'd pay money to see Part III done by Rifftrax. ;)
Please don't take my personal frustrations with off topic as any sort of official position on it's future. It's not.
And thanks for the expressions of support and confidence. :)
How have other films originally distributed by Fox been handled on recent video releases by other companies? Clive Barker's Nightbreed for example...
IIRC, we also discussed the picture getting "scrambled" 1980's cable tv style, or cutting to cute fluffy animals. ;)
I was probably thinking of the black knight in Holy Grail shouting after Arthur. ;)
After the initial burst of anger, Anakin could get more apologetic and desperate, even if Obi Wan is long gone. (Or yelling in the background over Padme's ship leaving Mustafar?) Hayden's emotional meltdown in Shattered Glass comes to mind.
And don't forget "Don't let this one die a virgin!" from The Virgin Suicides. Shouldn't be too hard to splice "me" in there? I think Hayden's voice can be tweaked to sound a little deeper if need be?
Are you still going to censor or cut away from Anakin's BBQ?

I purpose Frink for off topic moderator. He can be trusted not to take it too far and yet deal with the trolls we get here. I think he is someone all could live with and he has experience moderating the fanedited forum.
thoughts? opinions?
Wart, he'll let you suck it if you just ask.
No need for this humiliating overture of flattery.
Just ask.
Off topic or not, you're running out of bridges to burn.
I don't even want to look in this forum anymore. Being a mod is stressful enough as it is. If I had my way, it wouldn't even be ported over to the new software.
Fortunately, it's not up to me.
Disney has been stiffing 3D fans stateside for a while. Movies like Frozen only coming out on 3D Blu Ray overseas. Unless Lucasfilm bucks that trend like Marvel?
Strange Magic looked like it was intended for 3D, but it didn't play in anything but 2D, thanks to Disney dumping it.
I meant if you needed a word FB doesn't actually say, Shrek might have it. The Scottish character Mike Meyers played in So I Married an Axe Murderer is pretty much a dry run for both character voices.
I know it would break continuity with TRM, but what if Jabba had Fat Bastard's voice? You can patch in a little Shrek too...
You could use "give me a sword!" when Obi Wan picks up Anakin's saber, then curses at him as he walks away. ;)

Calling George Lucas legendary and saying any of his movies are masterpieces is hilarious, really. Especially if you've seen pretty much any actual masterpieces from actual legendary directors.
Legendary director Stanley Kubrick was a fan. ;)
“If I made as much money as George Lucas, I would not decide to become a studio mogul. I cannot understand why he doesn’t want to direct films anymore, because American Graffiti and even Star Wars were very good.”

People complain about studio logos being omitted and/or replaced with modern ones over at the Home Theater Forum all the time. This isn't unique to Star Wars.
Be careful what you wish for! ;)

Anyway, will the internet survive the number of people trying to watch the trailer, presumably next week?
I asked them last year, and never got a reply. :(
No longer available...
Can you really trust that the scanned version colors are accurate?

Oh its actually splendid! It's a free fireworks show I can see from my house whenever I like :) The sound isn't too bad as I'm just a couple miles out (about a 4 or 5 minute drive), so if I have my tv on you can barely hear it. You get fairly used to it.
I'm not sure what house you're talking about so I would assume it's gone. I know disney had to undergo hell when they wanted to build California Adventure because they had to convince a whole community, many of whom had been living there for years and years toward the back end of the old parking lot to sell their properties in order to make the room that disney would need to build the park.
Yeah, this was back in the 80's/90's, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone. The pics I took in the old Disneyland parking lot are historical now!
I wish they would throw money at me to sell my Florida swampland. They have to build a Star Wars theme park somewhere! ;)
I'm having trouble justifying the expense myself. If it was a yearly thing in the same location, then staying home when I'm only a couple hours away wouldn't bite so hard. :(
