Yeah, you'd think someone would have gotten a teeny spy camera in to snap pics of the new Falcon set and life size prop that's been built. Those NDA's people sign must be pretty severe in their penalties.
Once filming has begun, it will be harder to keep a lid on things.
Works now?
Sorry, I thought we were discussing left handed people! ;)
Looks good to me. :)
And it could work as a static shot. Why Lucas moves the camera on a insert that's not a character's POV I have no idea.
What bugs me about the original untouched shot is a red flashing light would have communicated a "inoperative" elevator better than a dark panel.
No longer ignored. Curious...
Almost there!
Some thoughts: The "seventeen space hours earlier" caption could be in a Star Wars font, or at least a different color/font than the subtitles. Ditto the "Meanwhile" one.
The censored cockpit speaker gag is great, but the censor bar is appearing over a monitor screen. Move it over one of the metal knobs as they look more like speakers?
Artoo ought to say "No springs!" in response to Obi Wan's "Spring the trap." Obscure MST3K reference. ;)
If you cut to another exterior battle shot at 7:03, the abrupt change from hangar to corridor will be covered.
The battle droids in the elevator could say something?
A few off screen cries of agony from Palpatine as our heroes enter the Poetry Appreciation Chamber?
If you can cut from Yoda back to Ani about two seconds sooner, (if it doesn't mess up the timing of the music) it would transition a little better. The foreground part of set that comes into the shot almost looks like an incomplete wipe.
If Bob ever comes back, the elevator buttons could have an "out of order" sign taped on them?
The bridge scenes with Steve still need some sound effects in the background. (Star Trek bridge?) You can lose them as you get into the crash scene, which gets funnier every time I see it. :)
*cough* ripoff *cough* ;)
Bad enough most people confuse Jaxxon with him.
Now, this fine fellow from MOTU has possibilities...
What? You didn't see that episode where He Man fought an evil pink bunny?
Some custom figures I've seen for sale are pretty elaborate. If someone made a decent Jaxxon, I'd be sorely tempted, especially as there's a new Masters of the Universe figure that would be easy to modify now.
As long as it's identified as a custom figure and nothing else, I guess there's no issue with ebay. As opposed to making your own vinyl caped Jawas and sealing them into a vintage card. ;)
Because of Python, it was hard to take the monotonous public access talk shows I had to slave on back in college very seriously.
How I longed for something silly to happen, or a large weight to drop from the studio ceiling.
Thanks for the info! Let's hope that master gets ported over here intact.
If what I'm reading over at the Home Theater Forum is any indication, Universal DNR'ed all over Cat People for the Blu Ray.
I have low expectations for Streets of Fire, if it ever comes out on Blu.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
With a good script, good actors, a director with a passion for the source material, and a little luck, yes.
Holy crap! I remember owning that issue, and never made the Python connection. It was the year before my local PBS station started airing the show.
IIRC, Barbara and Dick finally discovered their respective secret identities in that tale. Continuity being fluid in those days, I doubt that plot point affected any of the other Bat books. ;)
Pardon me if this has been asked before, but do DTS discs for Titan A.E. exist?
The movie doesn't have a DTS logo on the credits, but the DVD has a DTS track. Would be nice to solve that little mystery if nothing else.
Titan A.E. was released theatrically in 5.1 DD wasn't it? I do have the Japanese Laserdisc with a PCM track, but have never done a comparison with the DVD.
The DVD has a DTS track, but there is no DTS logo in the closing credits, so no idea if it's authentic or not.
The Mortal Kombat movie theme would be good too. ;)
Perhaps it was intentional to add another layer of strangeness? I recall other movies where the setting is a little vague, presumably because the suits don't want anything "too British" to appeal to American audiences.
I thought the original two films were heads above most of the horror coming out at the time. Freddy and Jason were veering into self parody by then.
If you want really weird accents, check out the dubbed version of the original Mad Max sometime. ;)
Another brainstorm. When Grievous deploys his four armed surprise in the duel, it's accompanied by the classic Transformers sound effect?
Well, it was the '70's. I think they have a stricter dress code now. ;)

I had an idea of flipping the dialogue around so he's told they don't have a bridge, just a tower. The problem there is that Shatner only says "tower" and never says "bridge." Of course, I'm sure there's any number of Star Trek episodes and movies where he says "bridge" so maybe that's doable after all.
It's actually funnier this way!
Oh man! That scene gave me nightmares back in the day, tacky as it is.
They're still cranking out DTV sequels to Hellraiser? I hope Clive still gets a check from those things. And that fellow looks nothing like Doug.
My favorite black hole obsessed mad scientific genius. :(
I was thinking if that remake ever gets off the ground, the original cast ought to get cameos or something. Only Robert Forster, Timothy Bottoms, and Yvette Mimieux are left now.
It's a safe bet he thought they died with Padme. And he was unaware it was twins.
Episode III skirts the issue of how many people were in on the fake belly in the funeral ploy.
One could interpret Vader not going down to the planet himself to retrieve the plans as avoiding dealing with the past, but I doubt that was the plan in 1977. ;)
