Yes, it's true. Star Tours is to be replaced (by 2010 they say) with a similar styled ride - with a twist: it's going to be a podrace. At least, so far, that's what we know - they could have changed it by now.

Aren't you being a little harsh, Jay? I mean, I saw the thread; sure he took things a little bit seriously, but some of us were genuinely interested.

This 'milky' quality to the picture the auctions mentions... could that be "fixed" through some sort of avisynth plugin?

The Star Wars trilogy. The ORIGINAL trilogy. Or Adywan's revisited, I can't tell.

So, I bought Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys; I can see how this amazing album inspired The Beatles to do Sgt. Peppers. This version came with both stereo and mono; the stereo sounds great, but I think I'll listen to the mono because I'm kindof an audiophile.

The issue is? This mono mix's quality is embarassing. There's hissing in the background through the whole thing; it sounds like it was a really early vinyl-to-CD transfer, with a bad noise filter. The strange part is, this new mono remaster is from 2006 while the stereo tracks date to 2000. However, the stereo tracks are supposedly HDCD, so... I don't know what to say.

It’s the outright truth. I look at the original clips, and then I see how the movie stood fine on its own without its “improvements”. Whether it’s the whole galaxy celebrating the destruction of the death star (which knocks the EU book Truce at Bakura out of the loop), or simple things like the space battle (where the improvemnts actually look good), they all stand out and just don’t feel… natural. I think I might prefer the OOT after all…

I'm planning on taking the DVD-5 I received from Sluggo to Comicon; anyone know if there will be a cast member/someone heavily involved in Star Wars there for me to give it to?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BmFEUDtrNHA I could've sworn that Han only shot at Greedo once, regardless of which version. Can anyone confirm whether this is on the DVD, or fan-made?

Well, according to thestudiotour.com, Kong will not be returning. It's a good thing I have home videos.

If no original prints are readily available, what about re-release prints? I'd be happy with the OOT, ANH in the title or not.

On another topic, Universal's kindof losing it I think. No longer do they part the waters or have the creature appear, instead just some King Kong '05 props. The collapsing bridge has an excuse though, as it really IS collapsing. Still, I remember fondly the parting of the waters; why stop it? Damn PC... I'd bet that has to do with it.

You know, they tell a story of how Jim Carey jupmed out of the house one day at a tram dressed as "Mother". It's on wikipedia, but this I know for a fact because they sometimes tell you that on the tram.

The psycho house is fine, trust me - it's nowhere near the burned down areas.

I doubt they'll kill King Kong for a short Galactica attraction; the fire didn't actually hit any of the rides, so it would have to be just like how King Kong worked.
