Embarrassing?

Think whoopee cushion. ;)
You could also try DVD Audio Extractor. It has a 30 day free trial.
Don't give George any new ideas! ;)

I've loved the movie ever since childhood. I think it's accessible to a wide audience while still retaining the feeling that you're stepping into another world with a rich history (kind of like a light version of Dune or Lord of the Rings).
The music is pretty cool too, and you can't beat the Garthim for scary-ass bad guys.
I wonder how well the planned sequel will turn out.

I heard once that Henson wanted the Skeksys to speak a foreign language, and we'd just have to make inferences as to what they were saying, but the studio balked.
There's footage of that on all the releases of the films - single DVD, 2 disc DVD and BluRay. The BD also has an introduction by the writer explaining that when they decided the foreign language idea wasn't working, he spent an entire weekend with Henson going through the film making notes as to mouth movements and timings of the Skeksis scenes so they could figure out new English language dialogue that would sync up.
Side note - only the single DVD edition includes an isolated music track. What's a simple freeware program that can rip the audio track so I can make myself a soundtrack CD?
If you can find the limited edition 2 disc soundtrack that came out a few years back, the complete score is included plus the original album version.
Youtube is starting to seriously suck Bantha ass.
Your music choice is inspired! :)
Will Zam make embarrassing sounds when she dies?
I miss the real Cracked I grew up with...
If it wasn't at a multiplex that was ruined when they added 8 crackerboxes to the original 8 auditoriums that have better screens and acoustics, I would. ;)
On a side note, has anyone found the 2D version playing near them?
I've only found one screen showing it near me, and it's one of those captioned presentations for the hearing impaired.
How much did the conversion cost again?

WHOA! I didn't even follow the link. I was just referring to the Rear Window comment. I guess I should have made sure I knew I wasn't referring to whatever weird movie that was.
Sorry about that. It was the first "Relax" video that came up on Youtube for me. That's about the tamest part of the movie too. It did lead me to think about Rear Window being used though.
To borrow from MadTv. ;)
Besides, they had to have dropped a couple million on all the tv ads one would need to have been under a rock to avoid seeing.
The difference between those films and the Prequels is I cared about the characters. I couldn't empathize with Anakin that much, and once he slaughtered those kids, I was counting the minutes to the lava.
For whatever reason, I never got emotionally invested in any of the prequel characters the way I did for Luke and the gang. Whatever I felt for Obi Wan, Yoda, or the droids was from seeing those old friends again.
Whether you love or loathe the Clone Wars, the Anakin Skywalker I see there is actually a likeable guy.

Zam could also spy on the apartment denizens of Rear Window? Then sees Jimmy Stewart spying right back at her? ;)
What's supposed to be a heartwarming scene of Yoda teaching younglings is kind of undermined, when you know they're all gonna' die! ;)
Seems like a motor has gone bad as I can't unload the disc that's stuck in there. It's not the turn mechanism like before. I hope this won't be an expensive fix.
Take all the time you need. The end result will be worth it.

I'm still waiting for Moon Trap to be released on DVD. That was released in 1989, I believe.
(PS: Just kidding, that movie is pretty crappy).
It's better than Apollo 18, which I thought borrowed more than a bit from it. ;)
How about this for the bar? ;)
Another bit of THX esoterica on Ebay...
Wish they had scanned the actual photo in question so I could decide if it's worth getting or not.
greenpenguino's version is hilarious if you haven't seen it yet.
Hooray!
As I already took one for the team, you aren't missing much. ;)
I'm sure there will be some morning after spin doctoring this week.
