I was going through a difficult time, and I like Wookiees. Cut me some slack? ;)

The second and third time were at the dollar theater. The third time I discovered they were showing Raiders later that evening, so I stuck around for that.

RotLA on 35mm?!

 Yes, and it was a really nice print too. It's a private entity that has an arrangement with the theater to bring back the classics a couple times a month, (part of the box office goes to a local charity) and I've seen quite a few old favorites since then. They've gotten many requests for the OT, but can't even get the SE's, apparently.

Nobody likes a backseat director! ;)

I feel bad I gave my old laptop to a family friend last year without upgrading it to Win 7 first. I doubt it could run 8.

I saw Episode III at three different theaters, and they were all 35mm. (The first venue had terrible sound, but I would have had to climb over people to complain, the auditorium was packed!) Digital projection was not that widespread in 2005. The prints looked good, but being on film can't conceal dodgy CGI and digital composites.

Only saw Episode II once in a theater, and the print was a washed out mess.

If not Falkor's voice, just having The Neverending Story theme playing over Obi Wan riding the lizard might be enough to work as a gag.

Nixon's famous visit to China occurred during Pertwee's run, so I imagine it was a reference to current events? Depending on when the UNIT stories were actually set, Mao was likely dead already. ;)

Good idea. I can't find it, and some old images aren't showing up anymore.

There was an interview on the James Bond DVD's with that one fellow who pops up in various 007 movies, which mentioned demand for American actors in the UK. (I think he also voiced characters on Thunderbirds.) I would think that made them a little scarce for tv shows, which probably didn't pay as well as movies.

There was one story on The Tomorrow People, (the original, not the remake) that was chock full of broad American stereotypes, including a not very flattering portrait of a certain president. Even as a teenager I felt a little insulted. Had the show aired in the U.S. in the 70's, there might have been sanctions imposed! ;)

As it buried back in a 68 page thread, it's going to take a while to find. ;)

If you have time, do a quick capture of the spot that gave msycamore so much trouble? I'd like to finally nail down if it's something unusual with the LD master or an anomaly with my DVD recorder.

Maybe they were in short supply where the Beeb was concerned?

Is this from a raw capture with the new player?

You could always wait until Frink finishes his version. ;)

David Prowse sure got around in British made Science Fiction tv. ;)

I don't think a lot of Westerns have been made in the UK. From what I've seen, bad American accents are nothing new in British television though. ;)

When The Prisoner did a western themed episode, any oddities could be chalked up to usual premise of screwing with Number 6's head.

Filming has already begun, according to this. Of course, that could simply mean crews out on location shooting background plates or something, not the actual start of principal photography.

So, we would call the first decade the twenty o's? And why am I suddenly hungry for breakfast cereal?

If you decide to use the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Intermission gag anywhere, you could use this music with it. ;)

Anyone?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a bit later on....

That's the last time I eat before or after browsing this thread!

That would have fit right in with Lucas' Vietnam allegory.

Maybe that one AT-AT we saw on Endor got stuck in a bog, which explains it's absence in the ground battle? ;)

If this 4K thing catches on, the Blu Ray masters aren't going to cut the mustard. They'd have to to go back to a film master, and that leaves the '97 versions and the OOT.

I doubt the Mouse nor Fox are going to let the 40th anniversary in 2017 go unexploited.
