Don't forget the Kid's Snack Pack... $6 dollars for funny colored apples and Millennium-Falcon shaped crackers!
Disney looking at SW Land for its parks? Say it ain't so! Please no Disney. Stop commercializing DLand. Do whatever the fuck you want to California Adventure, but Disneyland should be above blatant tie-ins for the sake of money like that (although it's becoming more and more apparent they disagree with me on that one.) Take the new Cars Land. It's a lot of fun, but it's a great example of what's wrong. It's just marketing and (eventually) free advertisement instead of a truly unique parkgoing experience. SW Land would be the final nail in the coffin for me. Tomorrrowland's premise is basically already forgotten.
That said I grew up in the '90s and it's likely I'm just some stupid manchild too blind to see that was the park's purpose in the first place. I'm attached to how they were able to separate the park itself from their properties - yes, there are rides specific to many of them, but the areas themselves are unique. I just... oh whatever.
Someone like Count Dooku, only better handled, would be my ideal villain for this trilogy.
My condolences Twist. Sounds like you're bouncing back, though, so more power to you.
So much for new ground. That kind of plot would fit better in an episodic nature more akin to TV. Yeah, I know Star Wars is episodic, but something stinks to me. I could just be being pessimistic.
Also, just rumors. Who knows?
No, but seriously though. Did it involve pineapples? Or Star Wars?
Good man :) welcome back. I hope the incessant Spleen invite request aren't gonna keep you down around here.
True story. Admittedly, though, I'm fond of American Pickers. :/
Man you must really love Dracula.
The Retron 3 is actually the best known clone console out there right now, but it suffers from the usual NOAC problems with outputting NES sound. I'm hoping for the 4th model they put some money into R&D and developed a new one. What's made it unique thus far is the ability to plug in your own original controllers - a major plus for someone like me.
HDMI? oh wow.
Digging Chrono Jigga right now. Who knew Jay-Z and Chiptunes went together well? I didn't.
Agreed that the grain might be a bit much for the moment. Another comment: I like the direction you're going, but I feel like using the blu-ray as the comparison point is skewing my perception. Can you possibly provide the corresponding DVD caps as well? Seeing the pre-teal tint version of the film would probably help people comment on what's been done.
I've yet to make it on a legitimate user's ignore list on a permanent basis. I feel oddly accomplished. Also make the day April Fools.

Anyone here like Wrath of Kahn? Meyer didn't know anything about Star Trek either.
Oh I figured that's who it was. I'm just suddenly very glad you don't normally get a good look at that mask.

What about this guy:

Doesn't he deserve his own film?
Get used to it folks. I've seen him around other places.
I live in a whale's vagina during most of the year.
From what I recall of the pit reflection, it's tough to miss but it's there for so short a time it's really an inconsequential loss -- like the wires on the plane in Goldfinger. Just my two cents.
Those are indeed better than the ones I found if only because of the logos but I really prefer how the text doesn't get in the way of the faces on doublex's. If I had the talent I'd take a crack at making a copy myself. I've always really liked these covers for some reason. Very elegant and restrained, even though they're much like the photoshop jobs people despise so much today.
edit- does anyone have those stylized THX/Lucasfilm logos in high res? I've made my own custom versions of this set but the spine looks a little empty without them. I'd of course be happy to share if anyone's interested with the finished project, but it's a pretty quick fix. I just upped the contrast so the black levels were consistent and took the fronts from Mackey's folder & the backs from the set I had.
I don't know what to tell you. I tried skimming through it to see if I could find any of the old hubs to download cover art, but it was a lost cause. Good luck is about all I can say, I couldn't even find anything on google sitesearch.
edit-AH! I knew I had a set like this at one point! Hell, I even uploaded them for someone. These aren't as well done as doublex's, but you can find a faces set here. Right off the bat you'll notice that instead of the logos from the faces set whoever did them substituted them for a gold-embossed look. I'd recommend toying with them yourself a bit if you want to use them, they look pretty amateur in some spots (the black levels and compression artifacts are all over the place.) Upping the contrast even just a little bit gets rid of the worst of it but that's kind of a crap fix.
There have been multiple people that have recreated the Faces covers. Might be worth a look in the ginormous DVD covers thread to see if other versions are still around.
I had either Falle's or Coov's Faces set at one point, but that collection died with my last tower computer :/
You're dreaming, Bingo. Wake up.
As long as there's no Vader I am pretty ok with most of the cast returning. I have my doubts, but they're not great enough to keep me away.
