Assorted Questions regarding the preservation of Magic School Bus (How do you know the video format a kids show originates in?)
Time

I can tell you that whatever masters are used for the home video/streaming releases probably come direct from digibetas. There's all sorts of analog video noise that comes from old masters like that, ie rainbowing etc., present in the show.

Given that, I would not be surprised if the PAL masters are just converted NTSC ones.

The new Star Wars comics - a general discussion thread
Time

Provided this is like The Killing Joke where the original is still easily available in a different edition down the line (or now, considering I doubt the Dark Horse reprints are too hard to find right now) I don't really care.

Though I will say I am definitely, definitely not a fan. It's so bland looking that way.

Disney does not want what just happened.

Boos for Greedo. Muttering at Jedi Rocks. But the ENTIRE theatre yelling and jeering Hayden SO loudly...

As opposed to my screening where people applauded.

Cheering because it was the end of the film or because it was Hayden? No, seriously, I want to know. I wonder if there's a divide in the kinds of fans regionally.

Are the radio dramas for the OT cannon?


 It's ALL make-believe.  No company gets to decide what's real fake vs fake fake. They claim they can only because some people turn their power over to them.

Watch what you want to watch.  I can promise you it's every bit as "real" as whatever Lucas thought he could decide for other people.

I wish more people I talked to thought about these things felt this way. Well said, Anchorhead - as always.

Good grief. Just for the record, with no homo, I've always just found it a dumb term rather than something offensive. It's got to do with people having serious cases of the Notgays rather than it meaning anything offensive.

I've certainly never heard of anyone being offended over it, outside of recognizing the stupidity of the term.
