I'm ok seeing the film a couple of days later, so I won't be standing in any lines. And anyway, that never happens in my country, we hate standing in lines :D

And I couldn't care less if it's released in May or December, I just think, that having the movie lie finished in a vault for half a year, just because of some stupid tradition would be totally moronic.

I wasn't suggesting they wait until 2016. One tradition that will likely be upheld is post production wrapping up at the eleventh hour.

We, the fans, need to let Disney know we will not tolerate a winter release.
Star Wars has always been release in May, and will always be so, even if it has to be May 2016.
Who's with me?


I don't care. So I'm not a fan, am I?

 

People still use google plus?

Mark your calendars, folks.

Another tradition bites the dust.

I'm still getting over there are going to be more SW movies, I'm not worried about tradition......hey more Star Wars!

Hey, I'm not complaining too much. I just can't wrap my brain around seeing a new SW movie around Christmastime. A sequel worthy of the name would be the best present of all though. :)

Arguably, you had to have seen Star Wars to know what was going on in ESB. And the Holiday Special to know who Boba Fett was. ;)

Colson's death was the catalyst for the Avengers to start acting as a team. It wasn't just some throwaway tie in reference. I've only seen bits of Iron Man on tv and none of the other films before I saw Avengers, and had no trouble figuring out what was going on. Haven't even followed any Marvel comics in over a decade.

I didn't see The Holiday Special animated segment until a good 30 years into my life and never missed it. The equivelant would be if those two imperials officers instead of whuspering "We don't need their scum" had said "Ooh look there's Boba Fett, I wonder if he still rides that giant space brontosaurus?" ;-)

Re Avengers: Exactly Coulson's death was supposed to be the emotional climax of the film for characters and audience but it wasn't for me. I was just thinking why is everyone losing there sh*t over this minor character. I was struggling to remember when half the Avengers had even met Coulson and the other half of the Avengers had literally never met or heard of him prior to the film. Now if Nick Fury had died at that point I'd be right there with the characters on the same emotional page.

Maybe because Colson was nice guy who believed in what Capt. America stood for, and the idea of what the Avengers could be? Famous people are emotionally affected by meeting a fan who later died all the time.

The prequels sorely needed an a regular guy who believed in the Jedi and the Republic.

Sorry for snapping the way I did. Its just that we've been having to deal with a lot of people on the facebook page constantly complaining about the quality, the fact that we've watermarked the video, that we're only posting the videos in chunks, that we're not uploading them to youtube or that they demand that we post them elsewhere because they cant view them on their mac. We've even bern flooded with people threatening to report us to disney and lucasfilm to get us shut down. Its rediculous. 

Now the disc was unplayable when we got it. It was scratched yo death, even though the ebay listing stated that there were only some minor surface scratches and plays perfectly. We could have sent it straight back to the seller for a refund, after all $700 is a lot of money to waste. But this would have probably meant that this could have gone back into obscurity.  So we took a chance because we wanted to share this. 

That's facebook for you. Disney and the Mouse would have to be in a parallel dimension not to know about this with all the media coverage anyway. What would these little trolls actually do, send them an email? BFD! ;)

As I've said before, there ought to be people over at the Laserdisc Database knowledgeable about dealing with badly scratched LD's.
