Longmire (2012-2017)

I joined this series late. I had just finished season 3 when I learned that A&E was cancelling the show and that the showrunners were looking for a new home for the series. Thankfully Netflix stepped up and let this series go out on its own terms. Fantastic show that follows a dedicated sheriff who watches over a Wyoming county the size of Delaware with just three deputies. Wonderfully written show, the cast is fantastic with the likes of Robert Taylor, Katee Sackhoff and Lou Diamond Phillips. They all turn out stellar performances and really embody their characters. I also appreciate it for turning an eye toward native reservation life. All around great show, I highly recommend it!

Not a surprise (the following weeks are going to be more interesting… many people aren’t probably going to watch it several times like they did with TFA)

Except I and a couple of friends have seen it twice now and I have another who is on his third. =P

TFA: A Gentle Restructure (Released)
Time

Of the three rumbles in that clip, I’d recommend trying the last one before they cut to the Rebel soldier. Although I think just boosting the original one in the mix might suffice.

In other news, got another friend to check out the project:

Wow
Other than the starkiller base stuff I honestly don’t know what was changed because I only saw it once two years ago
But…you weren’t kidding
What I just saw was an incredible film
If that’s what I had seen in theaters, any nitpicks I might have felt would have been insignificant ones I kept to myself
I found myself absolutely enraptured throughout most of it
And not even doing the meta thing of thinking about how it was making me feel that way
It grabbed my attention so thoroughly that none of that mattered

If I recall correctly, one of his biggest nits about the original film after Starkiller was Artoo’s magical recovery. So congrats, again!

Finally got a chance to watch.

Wonderful, wonderful!

I watched it with a friend who couldn’t stand the theatrical version of TFA. It took some convincing to get him to watch but I told him this was an edit so he gave it a chance. He loved it and so did I! I didn’t tell him what changes were made and when it was over he said he couldn’t tell what had been changed, just that it was definitely better. Me personally, I’ll never be going back to the theatrical release. Fantastic work everyone, thank you for this!

Just one minor note, I watched the 720p version and I noticed a lot of aliasing throughout. It happened a lot in effects shots and especially in any close-ups of Kylo’s helmet.

Mark Hamill wishes Disney had listened to George Lucas’s guidance and advice

Mark Hamill said:

What I wish is that they had been more accepting of his guidance and advice. Because he had an outline for ‘7,’ ‘8,’ and ‘9’. And it is vastly different to what they have done. But then again, I don’t want to be an old stick in the mud. There were the originals. There’s the prequels. But that’s all George. And now we have the next generation. And as far as I can see they are more popular than ever.
