Dear Sir,

I wish to complain about the number of complaints on this site.  They are clearly not written by the general public, and are merely included for a cheap laugh.

Yours Sincerely,

It'd be really cool if he did work for The Clone Wars.

Really cool.

???

It's okay. It's hard to pull off and it intimidates people.

ODDLY ENOUGH: As I was searching for the above photo, there was a photo I recognized as our own Mr. Bungle's avatar, and, lo and behold, it was linked to Mr. Bungle's Facebook page. Odd that Mr. Bungle would be a hit for chemical castration.

You may now return to discussing the topic.

I'm in one of those moods where I just sit at the computer and shave while watching videos on YouTube.

I don't know what kind of mood that is...

Five minute Fifties.

Chicken or Fish?

Battlefield 3 beta... *drools*

Did my 48-hour early access time (though it was considerably less considering school and download times) now the beta is open. Go check it out if you're so inclined. My name is obviously Tyrphanax.

So much fun. Just like slipping back into the warm bath that was BF2, only now it's warmer and it has bubbles.

Manliest description ever.

The Gump love in this thread...

*sigh*

Don't worry, Frink. I've never seen it and I really don't care to.

IMs. Who emails anymore? I mean, really. What is this, 1992?

Battlefield or Call of Duty?

Play it, first. =P

Frink, I wish you weren't dead/posted more things.

Yeah, I still don't really care for it. =P

Interesting comment by the uploader.

Why upload the crappy prequel deleted scenes and? not Episodes 4-6??

Youtube won't let me upload 4 to 6 due to copyright reasons (I dunno why it doesn't apply to 1 - 3).

 

I'm sure it's because the PT scenes are basically useless in their current forms, but the OT scenes you could clean up and use.

Well, like I said before, as a kid who didn't see the original Star Wars until 1997 when I was about seven, and was, from then on, raised with the SE and had only just seen the originals again through fan preservations a year or so ago; I can say without a doubt that the originals are far superior.

For a long time I was an SE apologist, because that's really all I'd ever known. I remember hearing the "Yub Nub" song at a friend's house when I was 9 or so and thinking it was weird because I'd never heard it before, the version I owned had all these cool celebrations and better music and stuff! I remember feeling smugly superior to all the people with their outdated and lame original cuts, whereas I had the enhanced and cleaned version with cool new things.

Then I grew up and was introduced to this whole movement, for awhile, I resisted because I didn't fully grasp the whole idea that film history was being destroyed. Thankfully, I am now confident that I am in the right camp. I realized after watching Adywan's ESB preservation that the movie was just... better like that. I dunno what it was. The flow was better? I'm not sure. There's just something about the no-frills presentation of the unaltered cuts that enhances the story being presented.

I think that, left to their own devices to become Star Wars fans on their own, like I was, that kids of all ages will eventually gravitate to the OT, and from there to the OUT. All of my Generation Y friends agree with me, and I have faith that the next generation will also see the light.

It's still jarring for me to watch ESB and see the cave pan over to Luke hanging upside-down instead of the SE wampa, though.

This is old

This is current state of Star Wars releases.

If you have the money all this can be yours.

It's a ton of fun, I think. The gameplay is very much WoW, but with a bit faster pacing. The story is what keeps you coming back again and again.

Looking forward to it.

a beach party sequel to THX 1138.

Just wanted to point out that this is a fantastic idea.

Seconded.

The Original Star Wars Trilogy is kind of transcendent for me. It exists on a different plane than all the other "plebeian" films out there. =P

Certainly they're higher than any other film I've ever seen, but I hate making "Top X" lists, because I don't see things in terms of "rank" or whatever like that. So whatever!
