I thought it was pretty good. O'Toole was absolutely fantastic, I love the scene where he confronts Brad Pitt. It wasn't great however. If I find a used copy for about $10, I'd probably pick it up if I had the money.

Although I'm not an athlete at our school, I love going to the games, but I hate the attention they all get. All the special treatment and whatnot. Our principal will show up at every football game, no questions asked, but it took an angry letter to get him to go to Academic Decathalon.

Not to say athletics are bad. Combined with academics, it does a great deal to enhance the mind.

Personally, I think it is a sport. Don't know what you're cheerleader's do, but ours are constantly doing flips, catching each other, aerobic stuff, etc.

Still annoying as hell

I think the new Wonka will come down to whether or not people like Burton or not. I for one, love him, and am look forward to it. But if you don't like Burton's work (I agree, he's quite odd), you probably won't like it,

I agree that there is a difference btw Germans and Nazis, but the Nazis were there. I just don't how you and reenact WWII without them. Sorry if I'm being annoying.

Well, most reenactments are basically the Allies vs. the Axis. The Allies consist of Americans, Brits, etc. The Axis consist of German units, whether they're Wehrmacht, SS or whatever. We do have a few SS units, who wear swastikas as part of their uniform, if that answers your question.

And about Europe being more tolerant, they are tolerant mainly about things such as nudity or anything relating to the human body, as I understand it anyway. I've never lived in Europe, so someone please feel free to speak up if I'm wrong. It's not uncommon to have nudity on basic TV. They're much more strict about violence, etc. It's much more difficult to acquire violent games over in Europe than America.

It probably would have. Naboo was really more of a defensive planet. It has no army, just volunteers.

I don't mind remakes if they either improve upon the original (which occasionally happens, such as Reservoir Dogs) or take it in a new direction. Such as the new Manchurian Candidate. Now, it was not as good as the original, but I rather liked the updated plot that dealt with corporations, etc. I also liked Liev Schrieiber, as Laurence Harvey was a bit wooden, and his English accent kept getting more and more apparant as the film went on.

The new Willy Wonka looks good too, as it's going to follow the novel more (the title will now be "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory").

I'd have to agree with that. And it's nice to see some of Jabba's history as well.

At least one person has brought up (I believe it was here) that Naboo should have been Alderaan. After all, it's a huge continuity error in the old trilogy that Naboo is not (cept for the celebration scene at the end... which was put in to counter exactly that). I really wanted to see more of that planet, as it is obviously important in the original trilogy (or... was important I guess).

Sounds like this forum nazi needs to get out more; not all of us want to spend the whole day in front of the computer on our porta potties with a Costco size bag of Doritos. You should drop these guys like an A-bomb.

I think doing anything with a Costco sized thing is worthwhile. Hell, just eat the bag and take it back for a refund. I've literally taken salads I've eaten back and got a refund.

Well, we do American.

To put it plainly, there's a difference between Nazi and German. We have guys who play the Germans, not the Nazis. After all... if no one di the Germans... who would we fight against?

So I'm kind of pissed about something, so I figured I'd voice it here. I'm a member of a WW2 reenactors forum, where we discuss, well, WW2. And I was wondering if we could have an off topic forum, since I would like to talk to some of the guys about other, non-war stuff. So, I politely request, and the reply from the admin is:

"No. You have all the time in the world to BS and grab ass, you don't need to do it on a site dedicated to WW2 reenacting."

Ugh. I know its not a huge deal... what do you guys think? Do you think he could have been a but more nice about it? I'm good friends with the guy too... not like he's a bad guy or anything. I think he's just having a case of forum nazi

.

Or am I just overreacting to nothing?

It appears you are correct, a bloke called Rick Dean who's a director at THX was responsible for re-timing the colour on ANH (source). But it's only fair to blame Lowry for faults like the obliteration of the laser bolt glows and the starfield.

Not entirely. As already stated, Lowry was not done with the movies before they were taken away.

I mean the subtitles for alien languages. Because Jabba's and Greedo's are kind of cut off when you zoom in on a 16x9 set. Of course I already know it by heart, but it helps.

It's the name of the villian.

For those who don't speak German, Toten is dead and kopf is head.

For those are slow, the name translates to Deadhead.

Will RowMan's version be a torrent anytime soon? I have TR47's ANH and it's great, but if I can get a fixed version of Empire that would be great too.
