EDIT: "You're lucky you don't taste very good." I think that line was the seed of my lack of acceptance of the SE. It has always been one of my favorite lines, and I feel like the way Luke says it showed a lot of his affection for Artoo. Kind of like a parent scolding a little kid who just ran out into the street and almost got hit by a car, but unable to hide the love and relief in their voice. I noticed it was missing the first time I saw TESB SE in the theater, and remember mentioning it to my dad and cousin on the way out. Didn't feel right without it. One of the first changes I made to my despecialized VCD version of Empire was to splice it back in.

This is a good point.

Having grown up with the SEs, I had never heard that line until I started getting into preservations. When I heard it, I immediately loved it and wondered why they'd ever take it out of the film.

Explain how.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

Simpsons did it.

Fantasy Answer:

Disney should find OT.com and hire all the people here who have worked on restoring the various parts of the film, who really know every frame of the film and every second of the audio better than anybody else and who have worked on the film as a labour of love for years, give them the original assets from Lucasfilm and have them create (or at least use their superior knowledge of the minutiae of the film to consult on) the definitive versions of the OOT.

They should then have someone document all the changes between the versions of the films, the condition of the film before restoration, the errors and defects and uncorrected problems with the films over the years, and what processes needed to be done in order to restore the films to the way they looked originally, turn that into a nice, long documentary special feature and maybe a coffee table book so that the average person could understand exactly why all of this was important and needed to be done.

Then they could make a big deal about how these fans were so dedicated to the films that they spent years working on trying to restore them and talk about film appreciation and the importance of saving our cinematic history and all that good stuff and release it all as a big celebration of how awesome Star Wars fans are and how important film preservation is and all that good stuff.

That would be pretty cool...

This just gets better and better.

God damn it, Frink. This is why we can't have nice threads.

A literal green penguino.

Feel better, man.

Exactly thirty-seven.

Wow, that's some good drawins'!

I always wondered why in 1985, when everyone was using Japanese animation studios because they were good and cheap, George went with the weak Canadian studio Nelvana?

Them's fightin' words.

 

Indeed.

Agreed. I love the style of the Holiday Special, as psychedelic as it can be at times.

I also positively totally dislike anime.

I have a 3 year old Western Digital.  I know WD's are the best.  Don't they usually last longer than that?  

 

 

Three years is awhile, but Western Digital hard drives are not the best as they do tend to run hotter than other HDDs.

Hitachi and Samsung used to be the best, but their hard drive manufactorums were bought out by Western Digital and Seagate respectively. I've lost track of who makes the best currently, because I haven't really been keeping up in the tech world... it may still be Hitachi and Samsung.

Anyway, computers do get old and do slow down no matter what. You can certainly try a backup and complete Windows reinstall (which I suggest be done regularly, actually), a new OS (as much as I'm a Windows fanboy), or perhaps a new hard drive, or just slowly start upgrading the rig if you're willing to dive into the wonderful world of building your own machines.

Long-distance relationships are hard.

His computer stuff was shitty anyway.

I approve.

Whoa. Why you gotta be younger than fifteen to enjoy legos? I love that shit still. Buy a set now and then if it catches my eye.

I saw a comment from Frank Zhang on youtube,  it was a comment on the "I have a dream speech"  video that I linked to in the political thread.   The comment was very racist.    Something tells me that "Guess What"  and "Frank Zhang" are the same guy.

It's definitely Father Skywalker, a.k.a., Sam.

What?

I wish my name was also Sam so I could get all pissed off about sharing a name with this clown.

It's pretty nice, yeah.

We don't care. Just piss off, Sam. Leave the internet to the grownups, mkay?

Okay. =(

Yep. Basically the only reason I would ever go to Canada in the dead of winter.
