Probably been posted before, but this fanmade Anime is just about the best original thing to happen to Star Wars in about two decades...

Hey, it's me. said:

Ryan, check out the link I posted in the 'Last Movie Seen' thread of the Grindhouse trailer. It's brilliant.

^ No matter how many times I re-read that, I've no idea what you are saying lol

Impressive! Reminds me of Space Battleship Yamato aka Star Blazers, which may have influenced Star Wars. Lucas visited Japan around the time the series aired.

Episode III: Revenge of the Ridiculousness
Time

I was in Walgreen's last week, and there was Awake sitting right on top of the DVD blowout bin. I had a good laugh over that.

Your Highness has some choice Natalie Portman dialog, especially in the extras, (just watched the Blu Ray last night) but I'm not sure all the deleted/extended scenes are on the DVD version.

As I've said before, the bathing scene could figure into one of Anakin's dreams/nightmares. ;)

the original German film (which I have seen, don't ask why)

Er, why would we? It's a classic.

Yeah, in these parts you're much more likely to get questioned if you haven't seen it.

In fact, while reading your post I almost wondered if perhaps it was a typo and you meant to say "which I haven't seen, don't ask why".

I forgot about the character of those on this forum for a moment. In my opinion, most people would consider watching Metropolis to be an endurance test, not just a chore. It is rather long and the acting of the time was sometimes painful to watch.

*cough* Moroder version *cough*

Info &amp; Offer: Anyone have any MUSE titles or LDs they want archived? Last Chance!
Time

The THX LD is such a dodgy film print and video master to begin with, I'm not sure how much more there is to squeeze out of it. I'm not opposed to trying, but Coily is still going to be stuck in the frame for a good portion of the finale. I'm starting to think I need to sacrifice a goat for decent scope film print to turn up.

I think a preservation of all the 2001 CAV extras is a good idea. The CAV still galleries give my recorder a bit of trouble though. I have the other MGM LD editions with a couple things not on the Criterion.

I was at the Kubrick exhibit in L.A. on the next to last day before it closed. It was so crowded, I didn't watch the video installations in the 2001 section long enough to see if they had any BTS footage not seen elsewhere.

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

As I've said before, Disney has paid billions to get their paws on Star Wars. They have a vested interest in making the best film possible. (And getting something back on their investment.) If the sequel doesn't break box office records, corporate heads will roll, and the whole deal will be considered a colossal failure in the eyes of the investors.

Nobody at the house of mouse wants another John Carter sized debacle.

It occurred to me last night he could be at the funeral. He wears black Vulcan attire in The Motion Picture.

In the clip I posted of Jar Jar getting shot, someone suggested that Spock could do it.

I remember that. I can only see evil Spock actually capable of doing the deed though. ;)
