Knew there'd be a CPY joke in here. You have to start spicing it up, my friend!

Life with Malla - a soap opera around Chewie's family, with at least one story arc involving Itchy's bizarre addiction to human softcore pornography.

cool story bro

Let's be fair here and think about the reasons our internet is so much slower. America's about as first world as it gets in terms of levels of consumption - sure, the economy sucks, but nobody likes to act like it does . Everybody who can has the biggest TV package, the biggest TV, and the newest stereo (whether they use it properly or not.) It's very in line with our society for EVERYONE to have internet. The amount of users probably far outnumbers those in other countries - hence our internet is slower because more people are connected.

At least I always thought it was that way.

Straight-up rumor though. Just to clarify. Hm, I wonder if we should start a separate rumor thread...

I've actually become a little desensitized to it. I'm beginning to wonder if some commercials on SD feeds are produced with that stretching in mind actually, considering how weird they tend to look.

I don't care much with TV but I hate hate HATE it with movies.

I've seen rumors that At Stars' End is going to be the basis for the Han Solo film. Anchorhead will be pleased :P

Well it is an avisynth script... if I had a powerhouse computer I'd give it a shot, provided I had some sample clips to work with. I just don't have access to either.

I for one would be interested in seeing how g-force's newest script treats these films. I just don't have the resources to try (I lack LD rips a, and b I don't have most of these films on Blu!)

Can you raise money for something like that on Kickstarter? I feel like it's meant more for projects, not to raise money for buying an advertisement. But I hope I'm wrong, because if it gets posted there it could go viral beyond what we'd be able to do on our own.

edit- and Kickstarter typically requires you to have incentives for donations, yeah? I mean I'd bet we could come up with some but that's something to consider. Might be worth looking at some alternative websites like these if that's the direction we want to go.

Think our friend from over the pond might have meant American football in general.

Simple but effective. Might want to move this over to the General SW forum, it will get more attention there. I'd be interested provided we actually find out how much that costs these days.

BANE DID IT

So fail, Chrome blocked me from loading this page! Had to open it in IE on account of apparent malware connections to that site.

wait, really Chrome? Blocking Funnyjunk? Huh.

Again, what's really weird is I think I very easily could end up a little dependent on it. But, really though - I feel motivated in a way I don't without it. It's tough to explain without giving a huge overview of my life, but I'm very much a product of my generation and the whole "instant gratification" thing. A lot of times, seriously applying myself scares me because I'm not sure if it will truly pay off in my future. Marijuana tends to alleviate these feelings for awhile and I end up with not only more energy (after I've "come down") but also much more confidence in myself. Suddenly, other people don't seem so scary and I don't mind reaching out even if I'm not sure it will mean anything the day after.

I've thought about getting one for recreational purposes before but I never really took it seriously like this, so my thought process is a little bit more calculated than in that situation.

I remember why I posted this: outside and objective perspective. Thanks, TheBoost.

I'm starting to seriously consider getting a medical marijuana card. I've been really depressed lately, and for some reason smoking tends to motivate me - in other words, everything feels less hopeless and I remember I have a semblance of direction in my life. The only reservation I have is that I want to go into the field of education, which is technically a government job. Also, I might abuse it. I'd like to think I'm smart enough not to, but that's what I (falsely) said about alcohol.

I don't know why I'm sharing this here. Huh.

My experience is the opposite BKev Batman Dark Knight Rises DLP was inferior to the film print it sucked.

Perhaps it was the projector bulb at fault but never paying for dlp in that particular theater again if they have it on film.

The blu ray image is miles ahead of the DLP projection i saw that is pathetic.

I don't think the Chemosphere would fit in Star Wars, personally. I've always wanted to get my way up there, though. Vasquez Rocks is a little too distinguishable for it as well... but maybe that's just because I saw it on a matte shot in Power Rangers one too many damn times.

You're insane if you think Disney will rerelease the movies on film. That's just being picky beyond all reason. More often than not a DLP turns out better than a traditional projection anyway because nobody knows how to handle film anymore.

^I believe Molly has a copy of the Academy Lady and the Tramp. Or, at the least, did a preliminary capture of it. There's comparisons between the two here http://web.archive.org/web/20120413045648/http://animatedviews.com/2006/lady-and-the-tramp-50th-anniversary-platinum-edition/ (messy, I know, but OT doesn't like archive.org.)

Absolutelynot. Live & Let Die wants a word with you.

How bad? The kind where it's not salvageable if you switch it back?

I don't know how much I can contribute because all I've really got are my VHS tapes. Most of them aren't even that old, they're from the Masterpiece Collection series in the '90s. I understand that series was remastered, but I have no idea to what extent.

That said, according to this wikipedia page "Saludos Amigos" "Make Mine Music" and "Melody Time" are censored on the DVD editions (unless a rerelease after the first time undid this; if so, it is not mentioned in the article.) It might be worth looking to see if that was previously available unaltered.

hi Andrea,
I know you're busy with your Star Wars projects but I was wondering if these were still captures you were considering doing.

As much as I love Avatar's sense of humor, I prefer it in the lower doses Korra provides. If you're not into slapstick and/or episodic, village-of-the-week shows, Korra would be the better place to start anyway. Seeing one or two episodes of that is actually what finally conned me into watching the original.
