Weird Al's latest video (on topic)

That video rocked. Er, well, it didn't really rock, it was more like a white suburbia rap anthem. Damn hilarious though. Much better than "Don't Download This Song".

Is this song a parody of another song? I didn't recognize it.

Edit: Found it. It's a parody of Ridin' Dirty by Chamillionare. I think Al did a great job of making fun of the guy dancing behind him the whole time. The guy in the original video kinda dances like a fag.

Just a couple of side notes:

Two days ago when Raul started his thread, I locked it because the conversation was going around in circles, and until he had anything to prove, I felt it didn't need to turn into another flame-fest like the last thread did. I even went into both threads and deleted all references to Raul's "source" in case he was actually telling the truth and he was incriminating whoever was leaking the info. Yesterday, Moth3r pointed out that Raul was also posting under the name "RichardPX3". So at this point, we realized that not only was Raul bitching about and flaming himself, but he was trying to blame us for censorship when in reality I was only trying to keep him from potentially getting someone at Lucasfilm fired. It's obvious now that Raul never had any legit "source" and that he was making up the whole thing.

If he really had actual screenshots of an anamorphic OOT from a brand new transfer, he wouldn't be saying things like "see, they're trying to censor me, that proves I'm right, I don't even need to show you the pics". No, this attention-whore would have posted them to spite us and get the recognition he so desired.

Good riddance Raul.

No Raul, I don't think you get it. You've changed your intentions because people are now on to you. You're going to sit there and claim that because of people like me, you're not going to share any of the glorious screenshots you claim you will be getting. People that do that are called frauds. They panic when people start seeing through them and they are denied the spotlight they so desired. Well, I'm not going to give you any attention anymore either. You can go to TFN with your "insider info" for all I care.


Oh, and by the way Raul, you may have noticed that your sock, RichardPX3, has been banned. Have a nice day.

Did you not just tell everyone that this board was "not mature enough" to handle your seemingly too-good-to-be-true OOT claims? If I'm locking a thread because I don't want anymore flamming until you have something to show, how is that siding with the "hotheads"? And if this is the second time I've sided with them, I'd love to know where the first one was.

People are naturally skeptical until they see something with their own eyes. If I found Jimmy Hoffa's body in my back yard and told everyone, do you really think anyone would believe me no matter how much I described what I saw? No, of course nobody would believe me, and I bet people like Cable would be flaming the hell out of me until I posted some pictures or something. You could very well be the real deal Raul, but you could also be a 400-pound hermaphrodite internet predator making up stuff for the hell of it. The only way we'll ever know is if you can back up what you are claiming.

Zion I understand why you think you did what you had to do. I also think it was in reality just a bullshit excuse to close the thread.


I'm sorry you feel that way Raul. But I don't think you realize how much trouble you can be causing for the employee who is allegedly leaking this information. I locked your thread because of what happened in the last one, and I didn't want to see it continue until you had something worthwhile to share with everyone. You might take note that I went to great lengths in both threads to delete any reference to who your source was, because that is precisely the information that gets people at Lucasfilm in trouble. It isn't necessary to share that information with us, and it's better that people know as little as possible about where leaked information comes from.

Do what you want though.

This may come off as shady and suppressive to a lot of you, but I am going to lock this thread for the time being. If Raul is the real deal and has legitimate material to share, I will not prevent that material from getting leaked. On the other hand, by naming names, he could cost someone at Lucasfim their job. I don't want to see that happen either.

I will welcome PM's from anyone who disagrees with my decision, but until myself and the other mods decide what we want to do, this thread will be closed.

Please do not start another thread about this.

First Impressions of the OOT ...

Time
Someone posted somewhere that Lucas saved all the original bluescreen shots, which enebled them to recomposite all those shots again for the Special Edition. It was noted on Starwars.com about a year and a half ago that for the shots of Ben talking about Vader in the ROTS trailer, they pulled one of them from the original dalies shot in '76. Lucas is a known pack-rat of all of his film sources. You don't think that Lucas has the original film negatives, or at least high-generation prints of the original films (or both) sitting in his vault in San Francisco? Please. Mverta claims to have personally seen hi-def OOT source material that has already been transfered. To believe Lucasfilm when they say that the D1 LD master tape is the best source of the OOT they have is just naive.

Or you could make a list of every shot in the film that has the ghosting, take those shots from a high quality laserdisc capture of a pre-THX version like the Japanese Special Collection, clean up said shots, extract the luma and combine it with the chroma from the GOUT shots, color correct it, and edit the finished product back into the film...

About the opening crawl...

If you watch it closely, you can see that the stars wobble like hell, but the text doesn't. one might immediately assume that it is a digital recreation, but if you look at the crawl from Empire of Dreams, it does the exact same thing. Now I don't know if anyone knows for sure where the EOD crawl came from, but if anyone can say for a fact that it was a direct film capture, I'll believe that the GOUT crawl is the real deal plus some minor cleanup and color correction.

Raul, I've seen dozens of other people over the years claiming to be some sort of "insider" and promising the world. Hardly any of them ever produce anything and if they do it's either something they made up to get their fifteen minutes of fame, or they drop off the face of the earth altogether. You will be hard pressed to win over someone like me with mere promises.

Now if you back up everything you've boasted about so far, that will be a completely different story...

I think I've let this go on long enough. You guys are just making yourselves look bad at this point.

It always amazes me what kind of things people will say to each other on the internet. Things you know for a fact you would never say to someone's face. It's also amazing how quickly someone can get their panties in a bunch over somone's opinion on an internet message board. Get over it, it's not that big a deal...

Star Wars Limited Edition Screen Captures.

I'm working on recoding my site in order to add a couple of new features and make it work better across all modern browsers. I've also redone most of the PAL GOUT shots. As it turns out, there are only two NTSC screenshots that are wrong - shot 6 and shot 32. Shot 6 I can replace with THX's, but I don't have a correct one for shot 32 from THX or 88keyz. I'd appreciate it if one of you guys could redo that one. Check the updated frame reference page for the exact frame.

Updated PAL and NTSC shots should be up by Wednesday, as well as the EditDroid shots I could have sworn I uploaded months ago.

Since it's not the original unaltered trilogy, using that acronym represents a sort of intellectual buy-in to a lie. Prefixing it with the G acknowledges this and places the blame for the dissonance where it rightly lies.


You can carve that in stone!
