For the record when I saw it on the big screen the reflection was pretty obvious, but I might have been looking for it.

You guys are fighting about cover art -- made by a fan no less, not Harmy himself. Don't like having "A New Hope" in the title? Don't use chyron's, or better yet, make your own like dlvh just showed above. I mean I'm not against the option (and would prefer it without ANH), but this is definitely not worth debating to the extent you folks are getting into. At all.

Proboards don't die. They just get infested with spambots once the mods etc. leave.

Unmoderated my foot! Can't you at least leave these posts around?

Huh. I misread his post as just saying "negative1" at the end, hence my jab. Oh well.

He types normally

on the group account?

Thinking Disney will act on the OUT in any way until FOX's distribution rights have lapsed is wishful thinking at best. As it stands, unfortunately, time and time again the sales have proven that not enough people care to make it a priority. These recent business shakeups imply that they're working on building their own universe first that they can market independent of previous lore; after that, maybe we'll see attention to the classics.

Also, FOX owns Star Wars '77 perpetually. I can imagine Disney will eventually figure out a distribution deal, but this is even more worrisome than the 2020-date FOX has distribution for the other films up until.

Know Cracked isn't usually people's style around here, but you might wanna check out this article on (mostly) modern movies that still feature practical effects. You have your obligatory Nolan reference to start the article, but a number of the other items on the list are quite surprising.

I really should have figured out by now that Fridays frozen dinner/snack things are horrible. They give me the absolute worst indigestion... and only having coffee this morning so far isn't helping haha.

But seriously though, cheese nuggets. Not worth the trouble for me anymore.

Good ole George confirms Ford, Fisher and Hamill all back. This is starting to feel surreal.

Liked his little dig at Disney, though. Apparently he's not a fan of big reveals and publicity stunts. Still, it worries me that he's involved enough to be the one to officially confirm all this.

Anchorhead's avatar reminded me. I don't fuckin' hate the Eagles. Sorry dude, not sorry. Absolutely will not abide, this aggression will not stand... man.

I sincerely hope every ban message says "George Lucas Hates You." lols

Holy crap. I've been here for more than half the site's existence. Kind of puts things into perspective for me. When I first joined I thought there was a crazy amount of activity in the preservations section. OCP was banned by the time I showed up, but his works were still well-regarded -- as were the TR47/Cowclopsv2 LD transfers. I still find it ironic that works like Harmy's have become more prominent, but I am certainly not complaining.

This is one of the few forums I've frequented that's still active and around. Cheers to you, OT.

Wow. That cover feels so, so OT. I'll wait on Anchorman's POV before I give it a look, but I'm excited based on Tyrphanx' opinion.

BUMP

I'm surprised this didn't gather more steam. :(

I was a bigger fan of the 6-player X-Men machine. I went through it at the local mini golf with my neighbor back in the day. We were shocked and horribly disappointed when the game restarted after we won - I guess that's one of the drawbacks to arcade games, the endings are often unsatisfying. Also, gotta love that engrish.

It could be worse. We could all be here for the sole purpose of discussing a blockbuster film fundamentally made for the enjoyment of families with their children.


...Wait a second.

Well guess I made more than Frink feel old. Double Kill! (I would never use that phrase but screw it, video games thread.)

That was one of the first NES games I ever played. When my cousins got a playstation, their NES got passed on to one of my aunts -- presumably my other relation did that in the interest of not spoiling his kids, I suppose. I couldn't have been more than five when I found this out and promptly begged and pleaded with them to pull it out. They did, and it was wonderful. Years later, she shipped it to me as a Christmas present - twenty or so games and all. I was one happy fifth grader in 2003 (put the year just to make you guys feel old, by the way.)

I later got some experience with the arcade version, of course. It can't hold a candle to the NES version for me though. Despite the downgrade in graphics, the extra levels help with the variety. Oh, and also, your health drains way too fast in the arcade. It was a coin muncher, all right. At least the Simpsons game felt fair!

Apparently my friend from back home has the same long-lasting symptoms I've had from whatever the hell sickness I had. We're still getting annoying pain in the gums and some serious pain when we swallow. Sounds like one of us passed it to the other 3 weeks ago when I last went back to LA! No point playing the blame game, though. Just wish I could figure out WHY it's still bugging me...

And with that, gentlemen, Carrie Fisher officially confirms her reprisal of the role.

Well this is an interesting development. Can't wait to see the snarkfest below about how he'll modify each and every single model

They're on really high-quality paper and it, indeed, has black-haired Han Solo. That's about all I can say.
