^Let us know how it goes! I'm curious to see if I just went to the wrong theater, what with the whole "Nowhere Man" issue haha. I don't think there's any way another theater could fix "All Together Now" though, that was a mess... which is weird because it was fine when they played it at the end! Just not the first time around.
I only have three exams left and most of them are projects. Why am I so antsy to be done?
^Oh, I remember when I used that avatar. Good times. It fits well with this thread.
^See, I disagree with the ROTS space battle stuff. If I recall it was just more of the annoying follow-this-ship pans that we got in ESB's Special Edition. I wasn't really a fan of it in that context ,and I wasn't in the space battle either... though I must admit it made more sense.
^Crushed white highlights. I'm going a bit brutal here, but I think those might actually hurt my eyes to look at. That's just unreasonably bright, man. I get what you'er trying to do with removing some of the brown, but you have to try something else. That's just not doing it. Your whites are blinding and your blacks turning gray.
Discuss. Are there any moments that made you go "wow" in the way George wanted? There's a lot of spectacle in the PT that fails, but - at least I think - there are a few moments and images here and there that work. Where is there any world building that you liked? Interesting character designs? Scenery that was more than just a generic, panning establishment shot?
TPM
-The city of Theed. Sure, we don't see a lot of it. But what we do see of the palace is pretty ... uhm, big. I enjoyed the look of the city and the palace; it's probably the only thing that stands out in this movie design-wise. Probably helps that a lot of the stuff here came from models.
-Speaking of Naboo, I was pretty impressed by those first few invasion scenes on the prairie.
AOTC
-I don't like the way the clones were handled especially... but the closing scene of this movie wherein the army is being assembled and sent off. Wow. Maybe it was the Imperial March, I dunno. But, I really felt a sense of grandeur here that much of it was missing. THIS would have made a much more striking introduction to the clone army than seeing them on Camino. If that were ever possible in some way in a fanedit, I would definitely support it.
ROTS
-I got nothing. I've seen this movie twice and that was once too many times. I'm not a fan of blockbuster action films, and that's all this is - with soap opera camerawork to boot! This does a lot of that awful stuff I referred to in the opening paragraph.
I welcome debate on my claims, as well as those of others, but let's keep this from being a complete PT bashing thread.
For anyone interested, his 2.0 version was finished and posted here. I ended up getting a PM at, of all places, Demonoid. He doesn't seem to bear any ill will towards OT.com, which is nice.

Great, I really show my age. haha.
Man, this thread is a great example of why we have a bad name.
oh Frink, you should have tuned in to my stream. I guess they didn't have the budget for an impersonator; Nute Gunray's voice sounds more like Ric than like himself.
PC version had nicer menus and probably controls more suited to its genre. It's been a long time since I played it. Plus, your usual graphics boost.
TV's Frink said: a few shots of the forum with some familiar names (Gaffer, bkev, and Puggo to name a few).
It's just Xhonzi. He's a known page refresher.
I just thought it would be fun to sit that close to the screen with Yellow Submarine because I am an immature 18 year old who likes occasional cheap thrills. Still, I don't think I should have been barely able to hear the lyrics - even in a situation like that.
Sat in the front. 5.1 mixes really need to be optimized for the theater and not the home. I was in the front row, and "All Together Now" sounded just atrocious. The background singers were to the right, and then the Beatles came in on the center - it was an awkward cut. I could still here the background singers (I think just a different track of the Beatles) when they switched it to center. The real nail in the coffin was that I couldn't hear Nowhere Man's lyrics! Literally, they were in an echo, and the instrumental was coming out right center. Needless to say I'll be sticking to the 2.0 and mono tracks on the DVD!
I also think that it was a bit out of focus for a digital projection. There was... ghosting, I think. Unless that's normal in animation and I don't normally notice it. And the shadows often looked like blurs on screen.
Do I regret going? No. I just wish the presentation was more ... pleasing.
^We... don't know. We just don't know. I think it probably was for time, something about us kids having no attention span on our side of the world. I personally find it a bit superflous myself actually; I'm hoping that, at the least, the alternate scene will be available in the extras.
And, with that. It is the end of this lovely stream. If you want to watch what I've done, game crashes and all, the link is in the first post.
If a mod would move this to off-topic, I"m going to be opening my livestream to broader topics. It'll still be games, but not necessarily of the SW variety from now on.
Live again! Watch me do that annoying drag puzzle again.
edit: Twist just watched me suffer through the worst platforming I have ever seen. She'll vouch. I died the same jump maybe 20+ times.
^ :(! Isolated sountracks are always a plus... oh well I suppose. I own the album, I guess that's more important.
The disc has nice casing but there's only one of them. That worries me. If it's only bare bones I'll be upset... though, given the price, I guess I can't complain.
^I think a 3D Yellow Submarine conversion if handled with care would be crazy as the ball scale. I'd see it.
Yep. The movie is going back into print, and they're celebrating with theatrical screenings all across the US! You know I'll be there for sure tomorrow, haha.
A casual warning to the purists (you know who you are), I would imagine that they are digital projections.
^We do have an IRC channel but the address escapes me at the moment. Also, I would have loved to be more active in the chat but the game is fullscreen :/
I'd love that, for the record. :)
