Worth noting the 2018 Criterion Blu-Ray release of Barry Lyndon has the original mono track.
Dumb question, can HDR be turned off?
I use an answering machine to screen my landline calls most of the time. Was pestered by some fraudulent collection agency for well over a year. They were trying to convince me my father left some unpaid debt, and this was years after his passing. As I was one of his caregivers, I knew it wasn’t true. I feel sorry for the people who get suckered by such predatory scum.
I wonder if obscene phone calls still happen in this internet/smartphone happy age? Haven’t had a heavy breather this century! 😉
Wow! Welcome to the forum Colin and thank you for sharing these with us. Pretty amazing to see the original concept models for Star Wars '77 and having the chance to discuss them with their very creator.
Regarding the original Falcon, am I correct in assuming that it was still used in a re-purposed and heavily modified state as the Tantive IV Rebel Blockade Runner (or for inspiration at the very least)? They both have a very similar basic shape and overall design is all, with the exception of the front bridge area and the rear engine area having tripled in size:
It did indeed become the Blockade Runner. Somewhere I’ve seen an old BTS photo where the Tantive miniature was still being finished, sporting the Falcon style cockpit and deflector dish.
You can’t really see the cockpit from this angle, but you can see the Falcon’s dish.
I think you’re the first person who’s actually worked on any of the films to grace our forum.
There was also the time Lorne Peterson cleared up some confusion.
Wow, totally forgot about that!
Star Wars is a buffet, enjoy the stuff you want, and leave the rest. 😃
Welcome, sir! Your models have enthralled me since I was a kid. 😃

Definitely something that needs a proper documentary while many of those involved are still around to tell their stories. If you’re not on fanedit.org already, it might be a good idea to introduce yourself over there.
There were some sound mix tweaks done for home video around that time.
Was the movie actually remixed for the '81 reissue? There were old prints where Fox simply spliced the A New Hope crawl into them.
It’s got to be the Death Star, with a laser beam getting closer and closer to a helpless planet 😃
But if the laser represented the growing dollar total of donations, once funds were raised, wouldn’t that make it seem like the Empire had succeeded?
And that our pursuit had failed instead of being accomplished? 😕
It would work well as a count down to the time the bills are due though. 😉
And for what it’s worth, I’ll kick in a dollar a month.
Well, considering our logo is a Death Star…
Maybe somebody can make something like this? Seems perfect for it.
Color correction work is still ongoing. It’s a long process as you can probably guess. The end result will be worth it though.
On a related note, I wish I could see this in person!

Also, is there a way we can add some kind of indicator to how much is left before the deadline? It may help to incentivize people to donate.Working on it.

Of course it’s a joke. Honestly!
Those decisions will be made independently when enough time has passed and the transition is complete. Any donations made should not have conditions or strings attached.
If our goals aren’t met, we will have no choice but to resort to…
Remember, the mods know what you did, who you did it with, and where you got the Ric Olie costume.
😉
But do Wampas taste like Chicken? 😛
As the cut scenes prove, where there’s one Wampa, there are more Wampas. I doubt any survival training Luke ever had on Tatooine covered cold climates.
We can also presume Luke’s Taun Taun was probably half eaten at that point.
Interesting Han has the survival smarts he probably learned long before joining the Rebellion.
The issue is some of the weapons the Ewoks use in BFE are clearly really old and being held together with bits of cloth. They don’t look like any rebel weapons.
Who here has been threatened by Lucasfilm or Disney?
I guess our little secret is out. 😛
Privacy on Facebook is an illusion, unfortunately. And there’s the problem of archiving the existing forum and keeping it accessible.
When some people live in areas with data caps or limited bandwith, I can’t see parents being too thrilled with streaming when their kids just want to watch the same movie over and over again.
I don’t see Disney putting their deep catalog on + either. If Filmstruck couldn’t make enough money with TCM and Criterion’s catalog at their disposal…
This isn’t a youtube comment section, folks. Everybody please play nice.
Please take the discussion elsewhere, I think we have a Solo thread or two around here.
I honestly don’t care which consenting adult sentient beings Lando sleeps with. I have bigger fish to fry. I know from things I’ve read elsewhere that it’s an extremely incendiary topic for some, and could have been best avoided being dredged up here, even in passing.
If you don’t like a humorous parody of Billy Dee William’s 1980’s beer ads posted in this thread, try scrolling past them next time?
