If George had only changed Special effects for the SE and DVD, would people have complained as much?
Time

The Warriors would like a word with you.  I'd argue the visual changes to that film are more offensive than Star Wars... though there would, of course, be no disputing which is of more cultural significance.

Anyone else want to chime in on famous films where only the director's cut is available?

The "I met a famous person" thread
Time

In elementary school I went to school with Michelle Pfeiffer's kids.  When I did a summer camp with her daughter, Michelle came along on a field trip. I began to excitedly tell other kids who she was, and she pulled me aside and said that she was there as her daughter's mother and would appreciate if I did not make a big deal of her celebrity status the future.

Needless to say, I cut it out.  She was very nice about this, and I've always respected the way she approached it.  She was just as graceful with adults if they brought up her career or asked for autographs at school functions.

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

They were pretty prevalent in Super8 and didn't detract from how much I love that film but I'd prefer not to see them in Star Wars.  Hopefully JJ knows to keep his signature tricks out of this one in order to create a more, for lack of a better term, timeless-looking film.  I'm not expecting '70s (or even early '80s) aesthetics in the overall look, but I wouldn't mind if Abrams studied that era a little more closely.

Update on recent troll and sock puppet activity

A shame that we lost Olie but it was, frankly, inevitable.  Guess we'll all have to step up the handsome to compensate.

 

And Jay, while you're at it, how about fixing the advanced text editor?  Since it seems you're working on the software, this is worth addressing as well.  Getting really tired of this format changing happening to me at random.
