Oola's wardrobe malfunction. ;)

Technically well done, but I'm still going to have nightmares. ;)

Check out the closed auction too.

 Where's the closed one?

 I meant check out the closed auctions. Lots of interesting scraps of VistaVision film from FX sequences, including Luke and Leia in the window shot from the end of ESB.

It's no wonder the director who made Parts: The Clonus Horror sued, and got an undisclosed amount of dough. He actually gave MST3K some credit for lifting his film out of obscurity and helping with the settlement.

If you went with the "It was all a dream!" angle ending, Ewan's nightmare sequence could certainly work with that. Not to mention Hayden in the bathtub from Awake. 

Okay, take it private, or to off topic, please.

I make a post, and it indirectly leads to squabbling. :/

I'm sure the lack of yes men afraid to speak up when an idea sucks will help in that regard.

Geez! I knew I should have bet on someone making a drug joke.

I'm in the Wato is anti-semitism camp.

From wikipedia

Allegations of antisemitismIt has been suggested that this character is offensive because he resembles a stereotypical Jewish caricature. He has a large nose, beady eyes, and speaks in a gravelly voice and is portrayed as greedy and covetous, another common stereotype of Jews. J. Hoberman of The Village Voice called him a blatant ethnic stereotype due to his hooked nose.  Bruce Gottlieb of Slate magazine criticized him as well, comparing his character to the anti-Semitic notion that the Jewish race is "behind the slave trade."Patricia J. Williams of The Nation stated that Watto was also described as a stereotype of Arabs, but that he was "more comprehensively anti-Semitic -- both anti-Arab and anti-Jew."  She added that Watto reminded her of an "anti-Semitic caricature published in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century."Jane Prettyman of the American Review noted that after leaving the theater, she heard two young boys describe him as "that weird little Jewish guy with wings". Prettyman described his depiction as "not at all subtle", and said that "it can be counted on to flush out already-formed Jew-haters among young audiences and give them permission to continue their hatred out loud."

 Yet another Snake River Canyon sized leap of logic. Did any of these people call for a boycott of TPM, which must be the most racist movie since Song of the South? Didn't think so...

Two apocryphal little kids in a movie theater calling Watto a "weird little Jewish guy" doesn't mean they're going to grow up into Anti Semites.

Honestly, I thought Watto sounded Italian. ;)

Watto isn't even the only person on Tatooine who owns slaves. Remember that Jabba the Hutt fellow? Even Clieg Lars bought Ani's mom and then freed her.

I think Jar Jar is a weak and annoying character. I don't think he's a Stephin Fetchit. Lucas isn't that stupid.

I long for the good old days when people looking to start trouble complained there were no black people in Star Wars, and how dare the bad guy be all dressed in black!

 The Sand People one is a bit of a reach.

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition...

It sure as heck isn't the "I want (insert name here) to die because I didn't like their movies" thread.

I still have shivers caused by that one loon we had around here several years ago, that repeatedly talked about burying a certain Star Wars director with a shovel. I'm not sure what else one could use to bury someone in that scenario, but they were always very specific on that point.

 Yeah i just put him on ignore too.

Look I know where he is coming from. I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan,I grew up reading the stories,listening to the radio shows,and watching films and series and I hate the RDjr films. To me they just are not Sherlock Holmes,but I don't wish death on anyone who made them. I don't even wish the films out of existence(As happy as that would make me)because I know some people do enjoy them,I just choose not to watch them myself.  Look if you don't like Jackson's take on middle earth that is fine with me(I personally love it and yes I know a lot of people don't like the Hobbit movies but I am enjoying them for what they are),you have every right to say you don't like them and explain why but when you start wishing death on the people who made them and excusing them of not even trying to make a good film I am afraid you have lost me.  No film is so bad someone should die for making it.

 Being a mod means never being able to hit the ignore button. ;)

 Not really one of your more subtle attempts at baiting.  The prequels are prominent in pop culture specifically for being so poorly done.  Outside of something as insular as TFN, pop culture references to Star Wars are almost solely the original trilogy.  1977 and 1980 are why Star Wars remains prominent.

I'm baiting because I happen to like films that you don't? Oh, please. Get over yourself, do.

I've already given you two films off the top of my head within which the prequels are referenced, and not for being poorly done. I'd try and see where you're coming from....but I can't get my head that far up my arse.

 Sparring with a moderator in this way seems unwise.

It was pretty fluid in the early years, so I don't think the "rules" are set in stone.

Hope we see some shots of the cast in costume soon. Besides Chewie that is. ;)

With the latest attempt at an American Godzilla movie being unleashed this weekend, let's take a little trip down memory lane...

Whom the joke was ultimately on greatly depends greatly on your point of view. ;)

Yikes. Just when I thought GF was mellowing out.

Remember when George was the object of these rants? ;)

What is that from, and why is the lady wearing a stewardess hat from 2001?

Ancient analog video master of course. They didn't bother remastering the other docs for the Blu Rays, why would they spend money on a new transfer just for youtube?

That cake looks like it's made of play doh. ;)

Yes, but the relist didn't have pics of the other Jabba subs. ;)

Many happy returns!

Hey Puggo, when you have time, could you compare the Jabba subs on Jaxxon's print to this?

I'm curious if the subtitles were redone for a "flat" print.
