It will forever be the film that exposed the horrors of cat juggling to me. ;)

The studio would have found a way to wiggle out of it if there was enough money to be had.

Look how Beneath the Planet of the Apes ended, and Fox still found a way to make sequels.

I just hope this doesn't mean there's a Terminator reboot in the near future.

Lost in America (1985)

and 

The Jerk (1979)

All I can say is that these both might have benefited from decidedly darker endings (i.e. the wife permanently leaving in Lost in America and ending The Jerk with Navan actually becoming a bum and not being rescued)

Lost in America was far superior, in my mind, but I did enjoy both.

 Steve Martin's character was too much of an innocent for a dark ending to work. And as it was his first movie, (not counting the cameo in the Sgt. Pepper musical) I doubt the studio would take a chance like that.

This cracked me up, even before someone added Jack. The doors in this Sochi hotel are like the mad scientist apartment scene in Steve Martin's The Man With Two Brains.

Who makes doors out of cardboard?

It's a PG-13 remake of a classic 80's movie, that was a very hard R, and had to dodge an X rating for it's violence back in the day. What could go wrong? ;)

Crap, hope that drive turns up. Those can't be cheap. And get some rest.

Wow, been a long time since I saw that show. It tended to get buried somewhere on Saturday afternoons in the states. I remember the theme song being different though.

If we're going to get into British SF, you could have the Thunderbirds piloting the firetruck ships. ;)

The thought also crossed my mind that the asteroid base at the end of the movie could be Moonbase Alpha from Space: 1999 or Clavius from 2001.

Thank the maker! :)

I thought I would seek this film out again after DuracellEnergiser mentioned it as his favorite bad movie. I had not seen this in years and remembered nothing about it at all apart from the poster which I think is really good. I actually thought it was okay and could do with a good release on blu in 3D though that's never gonna happen. Maybe have a double package with 'The Humanoid', my favorite bad movie.

 

 The title was a recurring quip on MST3K, even though they never actually did this movie. Pity Universal dumped it out on DVD in pan and scan. Maybe Shout Factory will rescue it?

Is The Humanoid the one with Richard Kiel?

"Thank you, magic trash can." LOL!

That's pretty darn good voice work too. If you've seen the new anime series Space Dandy, there really is a space Hooters. ;)

How does this escape the wrath of Fox when my own stuff using far more obscure source material gets blocked?

Can't I sleep in on a Saturday just once without waking up to a mess around here?

And the site errors today are even more annoying than the trolls.

 Adywan, I apologize for getting your balls twist in a knot. 

 You were told that profiting off of something like this was against site policy AND copyright laws.....and you responded by saying that you were going to do it anyways. You only changed your tune and "apologized" when everybody started telling you what a douche you were for endangering the project by insisting on profiting off of this edit. And I think it's more than clear that apologizing for someone else "getting their balls in a twist" is not really an apology at all.

 There's is a lot of things I would like to say to you guys at the moment, but I will refrain. I think I will take my business elsewhere before I am banned, in case I need to come back for something. Back to millenniumfalcon.com where I will talk about how big of douche bags users at OT.com are. I'm excluding Adywan though as I have great respect for your work and everyone else working on preservation of the original trilogy. Bon voyage!

 Too late for that.  And I get the feeling MF.com has never even heard of you.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

Yes. And you're rapidly using them all up.

Strike two, wise guy.

The Terminator said:

Could someone PM me links to download full DVD versions of the OT letter-boxed limited editions that came out as bonus discs in 2006? I want full versions that include everything including the DVD menus so I can burn them to a disc and they work just like the retail versions. I never heard back from this Myspleen thing so if there is an alternate location to download them I would appreciate that, if Myspleen is the only place, could someone help me out as I have not heard back from my invitation request on Myspleen and I don't know where to find things there.

 Are you incapable of understanding the rules?

You want to spit on the rules this site operates under? Be my guest. But it's a one way ticket to banishment. You're not the first person who thinks the rules don't apply to them.

Just because Amazon and Ebay don't police themselves very well is not a excuse to do it around here.

Do NOT derail this thread any further.

The Terminator said:

If I distribute copies of this edit through Blu-ray/DVD discs in cases, could I sell them for the cost of the disc(s), Blu-ray case, and cost of shipping? Would it also be Ok for me to throw in a few additional bucks for the cost of labor?

 No, and hell no.

 Why am I not surprised? Reminds me how they cut away from the first (and only) launch of their Buran Space Shuttle in 1988, just as it cleared the tower.

Unlike the the opening ceremonies, that went off without a hitch. ;)

 if it went off without a hitch, why did they cut away from it?

 Because the Kremlin didn't want any accidents to be seen by the entire world? Russia was notoriously secretive about their space program during the Cold War era, especially their own disasters.

Rumors and tales of dead cosmonauts erased from the official history persist even today.

Would it be Ok for me to post instructions on here on how to obtain a free copy of Windows 8.1?

 No.

Watch the royalty check to Daft Punk bounce like it was Flubber. ;)

If anyone is still in need of a Japanese speaker for any project, my degree is in Japanese Studies. I'm sure I could be of assistance in a group.

 Hi Sadako!

Would you be able to help out with translating a Japanese dub track?

Much as I want to see Putin to fall flat on his evil, egomaniacal ass, (and have photos/video leak of him french kissing a guy) I hope everyone involved will be safe and sound.

This is still going to be the definition of uber clusterf#ck for years to come. I take solace in the fact that the crumbling bathroom fixtures in my house work a heck of a lot better than the brand new ones in Sochi. ;)

I've just seen the highlights of the opening ceremony on the news, that's enough sport for me. They said one of the rings failed to open...
