Never have watched it. A lot of people love it though.
The movie just seems so delicious to me. Dumb cheerleader is stalked by Donald Sutherland, who then tells her that she has to kill vampires? Count me in!
And I so I watched 5 minutes of it. It's awful.
Just cannot dig modern vampire stuff.
I Took Your Name-R.E.M.
That confirms my suspicions. GF and TB SE DVDs come from their respective THX box sets. The others are straight from their home video telecines.
The color on GF looks great on the THX and SE, but maybe that's because I'm used to it. The Criterion color still seems off to me.
From what I know about the missing GF frames, I think it was first cut out by MGM for the THX box set.
The only way we will ever get perfect versions of the Bonds is if we obtain original IB prints of the films, and British ones for the first three.
JediTemple is not going to be pleased.
I remember the moment when I discovered SW books and the EU. Heir was the first SW book I read. Sheer magic. Talon Karrde, Mara, Thrawn, Pellaeon, the Solo children, Winter, Luke feeling the weight of the galaxy-Zahn basically set up the entire EU.
And yes, I like the ysalamiri.
Favorite EU character is Mara Jade by a longshot.
I guess this place is Dantooine.
I looked forward to going to Star Tours my entire childhood. When I finally went to Disney World I made a beeline directly for it...and felt like a deflated balloon. It's just not that good of a ride. It was early in the technology and as a ride it really does nothing.
Ady got death threats? WTH?
I still vote for an ot.com convention in opposition to the official Celebration events. We could get together-and steal and burn the GOUT telecine. Wouldn't that be fun?
However, it may be difficult to physically produce random pics and gifs.
Girlfriend Is Better-Talking Heads.
Jedi Apprentice is fantastic. Shatterpoint is a nice departure from the general prequel crap.
The Han Solo Adventures are still the best to me. Closest to the escapist spirit of the films.
The Thrawn trilogy is a close second. Still great after all these years. I, Jedi is pretty good from what I remember. You can't go wrong with most of the Bantams. From the NJO on I just gave up. I've read numerous books since then and have officially just given up.
Other notables I can think of: Han Solo trilogy, Shadows of the Empire, X-Wing series, Courtship of Princess Leia, Jedi Academy Trilogy, Hand of Thrawn Duology, and some of the "Tales from" collections.
Missed it by that much!
Makes me feel old.
Wait, I thought Zahn's book was still on.
I'm going to hold out somehow. This is the last straw.
PDA-Interpol.
That's rare for ebay. They almost never have complete 35mm prints up for sale.
Lot of fading though.

+1 for Lush, even if they couldn't play or sing for reels.
It's just soo intoxicating. You can't ever turn them off.

It's a telling thing when scholastic books (Jedi Apprentice) can be more interesting than newer EU books. You have to know an insane amount of background info to even have the slightest idea of what is going on. I can go up until midway through the Bantam tenure before I start to get really tired. There are a few books after that that are worthwhile, but those are a very few.
xhonzi-Try reading any of the original Rob MacGregor books and see if you like them.They can be found used for pretty cheap.
There's a new book to tie in with Indy IV called Army of the Dead but it wasn't very good.
Finally some film questions! I am #1 now hah!

What better way to bring back 70mm than striking new original prints of the theatrical version of Star Wars .
Can modern theaters simulate the original six track mag setup? I thought everything was digital now.
You could if you used original equipment. Modern 70mm is done through (run away JediTemple!) DTS 70mm which is an easier way to recreate the original 6 track.

LOL! I had totally forgotten about that spot.
Why is the Criterion color so different?
-Peter Cushing.
-Fear will keep the systems in line.
-Death Star, and might of the Navy.
-Vader.
-Jawa killers.
-British accents.
I can agree that ESB did take out some of the vastness of the SW universe. It doesn't lessen my opinion of the film.
What makes Temple work is the fact that it is different. It doesn't play it safe and thus is a perfect modern serial. Crusade is a rehashed Raiders that simply does not work. It is tired and uninspired except for Sean who is having a ball.
