LOL!
That I got two identical emails, (the only difference being the name of the alleged hacker) makes me a tad suspicious.

Is this the newest email scam making the rounds? Never got one of these before…

Hello REDACTED

My nickname in darknet is REDACTED.
I’ll begin by saying that I hacked this mailbox (please look on ‘from’ in your header) more than six months ago,
through it I infected your operating system with a virus (trojan) created by me and have been monitoring you for a long time.

Even if you changed the password after that - it does not matter, my virus intercepted all the caching data on your computer
and automatically saved access for me.

I have access to all your accounts, social networks, email, browsing history.
Accordingly, I have the data of all your contacts, files from your computer, photos and videos.

I was most struck by the intimate content sites that you occasionally visit.
You have a very wild imagination, I tell you!

During your pastime and entertainment there, I took screenshot through the camera of your device, synchronizing with what you are watching.
Oh my god! You are so funny and excited!

If you are of the same opinion, then I think that $500 is quite a fair price to destroy the dirt I created.

Send the above amount on my bitcoin wallet: REDACTED
As soon as the above amount is received, I guarantee that the data will be deleted, I do not need it.

Otherwise, these files and history of visiting sites will get all your contacts from your device.
Also, I’ll send to everyone your contact access to your email and access logs, I have carefully saved it!

Since reading this letter you have 48 hours!
After your reading this message, I’ll receive an automatic notification that you have seen the letter.

Wasn’t there a fan remake of Dark Forces some years back? Feels more like Disney is behind this than Lucasfilm.

I confess that I didn’t see the tiny bit of gantry above the TIE in that shot at first.

The only onscreen evidence of how TIE’s are parked pre-SE is in ROTJ.

Jedi Outcast had a Star Destroyer level with a hangar bay full of TIE’s hanging around this way.

I never noticed the TIE hanging from some sort of maintenance gantry in this shot before!

What is the rationale for lopping off the tail? I didn’t even know they did that to dogs.

I had a cousin who loved Boxers, and absolutely refused to do the ear thing.

And I thought the celebration scene on Cloud City had a lot of clones! 😛

LOL! Maybe it’s a reference to a hidden area in the old Dark Forces game? 😉

Seriously though, I get what they were driving at, but it’s just executed poorly, and much like most of the SE additions, it looks fake against the aesthetics of a 1970’s film.

First Man
8.9/10
Great movie overall, but bad portrayal of Apollo 1 Fire.

How so? Historically inaccurate?

Nice!

I was just about to mention that. I’ve done a few Hi-Fi captures over the years. One way around the problem is to have a second copy of the movie. Odds are you’re never going to have dropouts in the same spot.

Also, sometimes a video/audio glitch is caused by particles stuck to a tape. Repeatedly rewinding and playing a problem spot can clear it up sometimes. Depending on the tape, you may have to minutely adjust the tracking to find the sweet spot where the Hi-Fi doesn’t drop out.

Looks familiar!

It’s close to becoming the SE shot I love to hate. I have to think about what Frink can do to it. 😉

So, in private he’s a Mr. Walker, but in front of a camera or rally crowd he’s a Mr. Wheeler? 😉

And if anybody gets that reference, I’ll be stunned.

That SE shot removing the dead end to the corridor made little sense. You have armed and dangerous interlopers on a massive space station running loose, and all these bucketheads are just standing at attention in a hangar?

I don’t think any of those officers standing on the upper level even react to the shots being fired. None of the troopers seem to be as far back as the officers that are presumably reviewing them, either. In fact, the whole perspective of this shot seems wonky. And that TIE fighter is either floating or resting on some crates, because it surely can’t be gripped from up above by the fragile panels?

I think perhaps we were better off without social media. It’s turned into a giant restroom wall at a seedy truck stop.

A comic book writer is probably more obscure to the general public than most film directors. Who really cares about his political views? He’s not putting them into the comics? I’m sure Stan Lee probably has opinions I might not agree with, but I probably wouldn’t have known or cared when I was a kid.
And apparently being a comic fan sucks now from all this toxic online B.S., too. 😕

The only fuss I recall over Conan was the alleged use of trip wires on the horses, which director John Milius denies ever happened. Lots of horse owners in California, and I saw protesters with signs at one theater local to me back in '82.

Beastmaster came out three months after Conan, so I don’t see how it’s considered a knockoff anymore than The Sword and The Sorcerer which opened a month before Conan. And you had Thundarr The Barbarian on Saturday mornings two years before Conan even came out.

Remember when all those underwater movies came out around the same time as The Abyss? It just happens for some reason. Beefy guys with swords were suddenly in vogue in the early '80’s.

That’s been common knowledge for several months now.

That talking green rabbit is one of the things I love about the original comic.

I would think Lucasfilm may have kept them from using Vader as much as they would have liked back then though. It was a long time after the movie adaptation when he finally made an appearance.

Anyway, the reasons for firing this guy seem pretty shady to say the least. Who’s really calling the shots, Marvel or Lucasfilm? I thought Lucasfilm had the final say on Star Wars comics, at least they used to.

Cheaper than hiring a dominatrix to whip you, I guess? 😛

People still buy USA Today? It’s the complimentary paper hotels and Amtrak stick under your door.

The arms were a bit of a giveaway. Dave Prowse has beefier limbs. That was an odd shot for Kenner to pick out of what must be hundreds or more Vader photos to choose from.

There was a movie I remember watching part of with my mom when I was very young. All I remember was that it had something to do with oil fields in Texas (at least I assume Texas). I left when she told me it was over three hours long, and the small me had not the patience for it.

Giant perhaps?

I think it’s getting a little tasteless now.
