"Well, I wouldn't say no dialogue at all. You need to convey a few things with words."

Actually, you don't. There isn't a single bit of dialogue in those scenes on Naboo that isn't conveyed by their actions.

Anyway, I didn't mean every scene between them, I mean the waterfall picnic, the hay ride (gah), even the stuff by Lake Como. It needs reducing substantially, and a montage could achieve that if done correctly.

I'm on the fence on this one, but I will say that the look that Padme gives Anakin at the waterfall picnic, just before they cut to the riding-the-animal-crap, is a perfect example of not needing words.  That look she gives him was the first time (and possibly only time) that we actually get the feeling that she might like him.  Until she's suddenly in love, of course.

I'm not sure if a montage would work, but I think it could.  Certainly it could work better than too many words, which is what we got.

Regarding the romance in AOTC, I really like what some of the faneditors have done with this.  Slumberland and JasonN come to mind immediately but there are others as well.  The scene at Padme's house, having dinner with her parents, was something I really thought belonged in the movie.  Other things I've seen that I liked included keeping the balcony kiss but cutting before Padme pulls away, keeping the meadow scene but cutting before we switch to the animal riding bit, cutting the fireplace scene entirely, and moving around the order of the scenes a bit.  If I remember correctly, Slumberland even color corrected the balcony scene darker to make it look like dusk, and moved it towards the end of the Naboo scenes.  I should mention that the one deleted scene that I absolutely hated was the Padme bedroom scene.  Horrible.

Just a reminder that you can check out all the changes in these edits by looking at my cutlist scripts.  Just follow the link in my sig.

Getting to a specific page in a thread
Time

I've thought of this previously but I was reminded of it again while reading through the hot like fire thread (which made me feel smarter the more I read it).  The thread is 76 pages long.  Let's say I read 25 pages today.  Tomorrow I want to start on page 26, but my choices appear to be limited to first page, current page, last page.  Is there any way to start on a specific page?

Davnes, you did the Special Edition correctly, deleting the original classic version that I grew up with for the last few minutes so that no one else will understand how I feel about it, flaws and all.

LOL!  Can we get someone to preserve the classic version of that pic?  Do we start a petition? Or do we have to wait for George to release a non-anamorphic version?

I'm surprised you didn't notice that that was a ventilation shaft, they are rather far inside the building :p

A bit off topic for this discussion, but there is a product called a Solatube that can be used to bring light to an interior room from the roof (where a traditional skylight is not practical):

Frink, let me just say that I would HIGHLY recommend you get your hands on Firefly's pilot and give it a watch (if you can't find easy access to the pilot, the second best starting point would be the film "Serenity" which should be available in the cheap section of any video rental place). If after you watch the pilot you feel like you wasted your time, you are more than free to blame me for the bad recommendation. But honestly, I think you will find it at least mildly entertaining, if not downright awesome. Worse case scenario: you'll really like it and go through that short bout of heartbreak the rest of us Firefly fans have all faced at the realization of what could have been but will never be.

Well, I have a netflix queue a million titles long, not to mention a long list of fanedits to get to.  But I've added the series and the Serenity movie to my netflix queue.  I know it's something completely different, but I really did enjoy Dr. Horrible...thanks for the recommendation.
