I wouldn't advise anyone to own that movie, even to use lines from it.

This.  I was massively disappointed in it.

@Bob, can't stop laughing at The Jump :-)

The funniest thing about it is that it's based on a true story. Well not the running around in the desert part but they were all based on real people and a real government program.

They said they were working on it and we should hear something soon a while back on their facebook page. Nothing else that I've seen since then.

Let's have him bring back Smell-O-Vision while we're at it. I respect your scholarly work in the Secret History but the idea that abandoning the 24 FPS standard would be a positive change for the film industry is lunacy.

That doesn't change the fact that the kind of movement you get from shooting at 24 FPS is iconic in and of itself. When you start moving to higher speeds the picture starts to feel cheap because you lose that iconic feel.

Shooting digitally is one thing, but it completely loses any film like quality to it if not shot at 24fps. Look at movies like Public Enemies or Collateral, it just ends up looking like video.

The Hobbit is being shot at 48fps? Ugh. =(

Who was it from LFL who said a while back that they've had the transfers done for years now? I wish I'd kept track of that quote.

I dunno, it's been forever since I've seen that film. It was probably just the blow of having my two favorite characters killed off that made me remember it being worse. =P

That's awesome, my only question is why are the walkers marching past the hangar and ion canon?

I'm having a strange stuttering issue. Once the heroes sneak into the death star, every few seconds the film stutters. There was even a moment where it looked like a film reel break where two halves of a frame were on top of each other. Any idea what's causing this?

Just saw this:

J.W. Rinzler via Twitter: "In SR Archives, hit gold mine: original interviews of Richard Marquand and H. Kazanjian--gotta be over 200 pages. Huge for ROTJ book."

That'd be cool but the film I really wish they'd release in widescreen is the original Land Before Time...

I asked Henry Gilroy his opinion on the matter and this was his response:

"Talk like that, always he does. His signature speech style, it is. I always used a rhythm kind of thing and end his speeches with the philosophical thought...like Kasdan."

It was a good show but some Whedon fans can be scary, man. They are super-devoted and organized.

I own this T-shirt - it applies to both Whedon and Star Wars!
And I'm also a member on Whedonesque.org :) 

The atmosphere surrounding this post.

Does anyone else here play any of Telltales games? If not and you're into adventure games, I'd definitely recommend them.

In other gaming related things, I finally got myself a copy of Red Dead Redemption. Living in the actual environment that the game attempts to recreate, I have to say it is SPOT ON! It is an awesome massive open sandbox environment with so much attention to detail, it's just fantastic!

I didn't like Serenity at all. I've seen some of Firefly and liked it but the movie was a big disappointment. It fell into the same trap that most Joss Whedon projects do, "Let's kill off a bunch of the popular characters for the heck of it!" I could accept losing one or two but he killed almost the entire cast in that movie! So to see that film (people should not count that vote as vote for the show as well) win out over the Empire Strikes Back is truly disappointing.

Uh....

You were subjected to an anaglyph reissue print then. That system sucks. No wonder you got a headache!

The original 1954 release used the system with the polarized glasses.

I'm so glad someone else here is also knowledgeable about the history of stereoscopy. =)

Harmy.

Don't forget Camie and Han's girlfriend that were both left on the cutting room floor....or the twins in the cantina now that I think about it.

"Leia managed to send hundreds of people to their deaths, by having them do her dirty work, so she could have revenge for some dude blowing up her planet."

Er what? She was part of a rebellion that existed before the destruction of alderaan, I don't think revenge factored too much into it or an ability to send hundreds to their deaths for a personal vendetta. It was a war of political ideals.

Anyway, love the way the AT-AT is coming out Ady. Has it been hard learning to do all this prop work?

All the episodes have a commentary. They're just quick little videos that have Dave explaining some of the behind the scenes decisions that went on for each particular episode.

I have the one on the left, minus that blue space suit thing in the upper left corner.

I do believe that's B9 from the Lost in Space remake.

Count my fingers crossed!

Well they're supposed to be lasers, aren't they?

Never are they ever referenced to as laser guns. Always blasters.
