I think stores that have decided to open Thanksgiving Day should be boycotted.   Let the employees enjoy Thanksgiving Day with their families. 



I work on Thanksgiving, and I don't care.

 


pretty sure that is a very minority view of the people that have to work on Thanksgiving.


Is Thanksgiving every year on a thursday? Then I work every year on thanksgiving. That's because I live in Germany and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Yet. Until a few years back we didn't celebrate Halloween either...

Is it just me, or do most people who call Superman a bland/overpowered/dick/etc. superhero happen to be people who


1. have read few to any of the comics?

2. have read only the Silver & Bronze Age comics?

3. have read only The Dark Knight Returns?

4. only know the character from the Chris Reeve movies and/or silly Saturday morning cartoons from the 60's & 70's?


Well, I'm watching "Smallville" with my girlfriend, right now. I've watched it a couple of years back, but until now I never realized how cheesy it is. It's a soapopera that happens to have superheroes. Soaperheroes...

I haven't read any comics as a kid. I've known Superman only from the Reeve movies and the TV-Series "Lois & Clark" (which I really enjoyed, BTW). I also enjoyed "Superman Returns" seeing it as a direct sequel to Superman I and II. But I may never become a fan of the character, since the DC-Heroes are not really my thing. The only DC Comics I've read (as an adult) were from the VERTIGO line: "Sandman" and its spin-offs, and "Fables".

I prefer the Marvel movies, though.

Recreating the classic Read Along Books (Released)
Time

While searching for Bonus features that Laserschwert could put on his “Krieg der Sterne” BluRay, I’ve stumbled over my old readalong books I grew up with.

I thought it would be a nice feature since a lot of german fans knew this thing. After a little research I found out, that this thing wasn’t released only in german, but also in english, swedish, dutch and other languages.

I started scanning my book and realized the quality was awful. So I decided to recreate it from scratch. Most of the Pictures were well known publicity stills that would be easy to find, at least that was what I thought. Some of the pictures were very hard, some impossible to find. Thanks to the hint of SilverWook and the kind people from starwarsarchives.com I got the last missing pictures.

So, here’s the finished book (german version)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/50574624@N07/albums/72157677550004293

If someone wants to recreate this in another language, I packed the textles pages (minus the front- and back-pages, since they seem to be different in every other language) in one rar file. I hope to see some other language versions pop up in the future. Have fun.

Textless files

Dammit. Now I'm gonna want to buy all the Black Series figures.

I had ignored this urge to become a weird Collector type for so long...


 Better start saving. Here's Wave 3 Stormtrooper.

Oh no, they fucked up the helmet again. And they forgot half the blaster.

Seriously, why does the Sandtrooper's helmet look right, and the Stormtrooper's doesn't?

I am the of the stills ..

And I think it was a misunderstanding, I I have hundreds of photographs of the ILM (not from WEB) and private archives of known people who worked on STAR WARS, the forum member I offered him the pictures and just wanted to show me one small example of what I had, and I want to continue to increase my collection. Apparently he upset about this.
Another forum member very friendly and showed me some of his photographs and even perhaps have all their goodwill gesture coarse to send me photos in high resolution. (And today and tomorrow I will send many ...).
And also gave him another good material to other forum members ... I have a lot of material to share, but first you have to talk and befriend ....
My intention is not to make this a controversy, just give an alternative explanation of the facts ...

PS: Just read your post Catbus Thanks for your words ..... I send the link of the promised ....


I'm sorry, but after asking you if you would share your collection if I hadn't any stuff you could add to your collection, you said no. That sounded like I had to upload my stuff, you go through it, and then you decide that I'm not worthy of your collection. If that was a misunderstanding then I apologise. I'm still looking for a lot of pics, so let's make a deal. I already have uploaded my collection to share with another member here. You send me your links, and I'll send you mine.

I never noticed before how the Sebastian Shaw ghost is only partially transparent. It looks like he's got this big opaque area in the middle of his body. Weirdly the Hayden ghost has this too. Did they just swap the head or something??


Yes, the did, but the also resized the body. Here is my own "Despecialized Edition" of that scene I made a few years ago, using the HDTV version with old Anakin's Head from G'Kar's Special Edition DVD.

I'm scanning the book "Krieg der Sterne - Offizielle Film-Dokumentation" which is the german version of a book called "The Star Wars Album" released in 1977. I'm about to rebuild it as a pdf in the best quality possible. I figured that both books had the same layout, so I thought I could upload the textless pages for anyone who wants to rebuild it in another language. While I was looking for some pictures of the book in google's image search, I found out that the english/american version has 80 pages, while the german only has 68 pages. There are several pages that didn't make it into the german version. Then I found a spanish version, "La Guerra de las Galaxias", which had a slightly different layout, but even some pages that the american version hadn't.

Anyone here who has a scan of the spanish version?
(It seems that there two different covers availabe)
