Empire of Dreams - what was your imagined Star Wars story...

I've been thinking about how we can make the statements made by obi-wan work in Ep III. I think that having a clone of Anakin taken from his severed arm would work to make those statements work. obi-wan could have witnessed this and thought that this dobbleganger killed the real anakin and thus fought him instead of anakin. That would be why he said vader was a pupil pf mine until he turned to evil. But the twist would be that the real anakin killed the clone, because he was the darker of the two.
You could also play sidious and tyranus' exchange at the end of ATOC in light of this info. Tyranus could have had anakin's severed hand taken on-board his ship before he left.

I've actually been playing the dynasty mode in march madness 2005 and I played it for 5 hours straight! where did the time go?! I also was playing MSG3 one night after Christmas and I literally lost track of time. I played from 10 at night and played til 5a.m the next morning. My dad had to come down to the basment after he woke up and tell me what time it was! Games these days... *shakes head*

since we're talking GC I'll tell you what I've got:
Zelda: Windwaker
Metroid Prime
Paper Mario
Prince of Persia

I wanted to get the new Metroid Prime game but I'm looking for work at the moment. Might get hired pretty shortly here.

Also, Double dash sounds good. Something to play at parties and such. I want to get Power Tennis too.

For PS and PS2 I have:
MSG1-3
SOCOM 1
Marvel v Capcom
Splinter Cell

I'm currently trying to get through MSG3 with no alerts, no kills

I also purchase a used Super Nintendo and NES.

For Super I have:
The Super Mario Collection
Super Star Wars
Super Return of the Jedi
Zelda: LttP
Super Mario World

Also have an N64 with alot of games

My buddy keeps heckling me to get Half Life 2, But I don't know... Kinda want to spend more of my time writing and drawing stuff than on video games. That's the thing about video games these days, they are wayyyy tooo long and require too much of a time commitment.

Comic book movies - who says yes and who says no?

speaking as a comic fan, I can definetely tell you that it seems like Hollywood should qit while it's ahead as far as comic movies are concerned. They already did all the good ones. And I tell you, DareDevil was a good one. The comic is in a league of it's own at this point and those idiots in Hollywood dragged DD's name through the mud. Really Shameful! As far as FF us concerned, it doesn't have as much strength as it used to as a book. And you really can't do that one without putting the family element into it becausee that's what's in the book. And yes, I think Alba was too young for the part. All the cast members appear to be too young for the part except Johnny Storm and The thing. Sue and Reed Should be around the same age as the actor who was cast for Thing. And I never could get into the whole Dr. doom thing. All you gotta do is knock on his armor and he gets an ear ache!

For the record, my leaving has nothing to do with this particular thread or any of the things said in this thread. Yes, there are some things that I disagree with, but these things are not a debate. Debates don't change peoples minds action sometimes can but never debate. debate just leaves both parties blue in the face and angry at one another. Only God or a person can change a man's (or woman's) mind, and quite frankly, God is a gentleman. He won't change your mind unless you invite Him in to do so.

My leaving this forum is simply about my need to move on in life. By doing so, you sometimes need to make tough chooses about people or places that you frequent. So see ya'll later it's been fun!

P.S. I'll only come to see the replies to my post for the next two days.

like they said dude. do you have a link to this so called interview where cameron said that he liked t3 but hated Alien3. BTW, the Alien franchise was never any one persons franchise. It was just Fox's franchise. And jimbo, we all know that you liked t3 and attack of the clones. Realistically, they are all cheese and fall short on alot of counts. That includes the original Star Wars trilogy. T1-T3 and all the Alien movies. They all fall short because they were done by human beings who are prone to making mistakes. When it comes to the arts, it really is about taste and keep in mind, one's taste can change over time. However, they don't change through debate. I've found this alot in my life where people get this misconception that they can change someone's mind through debate. it doesn't work that way. You can't make people believe some of the things you believe. Only they and God can change themselves and God won't do it unless the person gives Him permission to. so all this argument and debate is simply a waste of time!

In the comic series, the aliens acidic blood loses its acidity once the creature is killed. I think that's why those holes are there. I also saw that hole with the artic wear. I told my buddy while we were watching it that they couldn't survive that climate with that little on.

I had my own ideas about concepts for the movie. I even concidered writing my own script back in the early and mid nineties(sp?) . I might just write it now for skill honing now that it's been done. Same with Alien 3 and 4. Alot could have been done differently if only you scraped the stories.

how on earth could anyone like freddy vs. jason?

Also, I have a slight hearing problem and I couldn't always get what was being said. When you say plot holes, what are you referring to? If you mention them, I might just go " oh, yeah yeah yeah that was a huge one."

I found the movie lacking in alot of areas myself. Like you said, no suspense or feelings of fear. The acting was pretty stale. not much strong expression. The only exception are certain moments for the lead heroine. You didn't get to see the aliens that much and the queen fight just went by too fast. It didn't have the same build to it as Aliens.

I personally think that it would have done better in a jungle-type habitat. The preds seem to be the most comfortable in that enviorment. i also wanted to get some good info about the pred culture and homeworld as well as the aliens homeworld. Fox just doesn't seem to want to do it right anymore.

uhh... could ya'll explain the terms hard and soft matte please? I used to think there was just a matte period and not two types of mattes.
and I don't understand why filmmakers use super 35 in the first place. It's grainier and looks really sloppy on the final out. It just doesn't make much sense to shoot something and then have to re-frame it later. The shot should be properly framed before one frame of film is even exposed.

I've met one of those idiots. One of the guys I worked with at CVS was buying the fullscreen version of T3 and I told him that you can see more of the picture in a widescreen version than in a fullscreen. He's like, "What are you talking about, the picture is smaller." Of course when your talking about a film shot on super 35, the fullscreen gives you more of the shot horizontally and the widescreen version vertically. In most cases though, you lose a good 35 percent of your image in a fullscreen version of a movie.

and in referring to lucas getting booed, it will happen in front of STAR WARS fans but not lucas butt kissers. See Lucas' money has created a social bubble for him. He has alot of yes people around him who will please him for the almighty dollar. No one over there will say no to him, it would burst the bubble.
