Honestly, my initial reaction is surprise that it lasted this long. I don’t know how long they could keep up the act of being ‘the greatest show on earth’ and still be taken seriously. I still think circuses have their place, but it isn’t the 20’s anymore, they aren’t really the greatest show on earth.

I was not saying they were the greatest show on Earth. It is just that “The Greatest Show on Earth” was their slogan, that’s all.

I know

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.1
Time

rnranimal1 said:

Could someone point me in the direction of details on how to make the ROJ PAL GOUT sync into NTSC GOUT sync? I think I read some frames need dropped and/or added, but I don’t know where. Thanks.

you want to convert the PAL video to NTSC video? if so, don’t try, you would have a complete visual mess of frame blending in order to achieve that. are you trying to sync audio from one to the other?

JEDIT: above comment is about normal PAL to NTSC conversions, but i may be out of my element here, if the GOUT PAL was just a speed up or down type conversion?

I, personally, never listen to others opinions on movies to see. It defeats the purpose of going to the movies.

I just watched the Extended version of Suicide Squad. My daughter and I had a lot of fun with it. I’d rate it 9/10 as the fun factor alone was worth it.

I respect your opinion, but I can’t think of one moment where I had fun watching that movie. It was excruciating through and through.

I know it’s not a perfect comic book movie and that was how we went in to it. Even Deadpool was fun for us but I try to leave the comics behind when we go see these. It’s less disappointment that way.

and you don’t get greasy fingers on the pages either.

Neverar's A New Hope Technicolor Recreation <strong>(Final Version Released!)</strong>

I may have an opportunity to go to a private screening of a Technicolor print, so I hope that will provide some answers.

Woah woah woah! Hold up! You can’t just casually drop something like that and not provide more details!

just as long as the details don’t ruin what i am already imagining about this: that there are large, cloaked airships, floating high above the earth, filled with off-the grid, independent, rebellious types. hacking into our wifi, hacking the signal, and hosting invite only screenings of the OOT star wars prints twice a year. once on Christmas, and once on may 25th. the rest of the time the spend posting rumors of official OOT releases on the internet to mess with the poor surface dwellers, which they call surfers.

What if Disney decided to remake the OT?

Probably not for a few decades. Remaking a Star Wars movie would be the equivalent of remaking a Bond movie.

yeah, and Casino Royale lasted 39 years before being remade.

Casino Royale was an anti-gambling TV special in the 50s and a comedy spoof in the 60s, and neither were officially produced by the people in charge of making Bond movies

good point

I don’t understand why anyone would want to do that.

In my opinion, its the star wars ‘universe’ that is so cool, not really one movies story over another movies story. As long as Disney can come up with good pitches for new stories, there will be no temptation to reuse an existing story. but as soon as new stories dry up, or money dries up, then remakes become tempting.

Here is what i am referring to when i say i think Obama had some good things to say about race in his farewell address:

President Obama’s Farewell Address: Full Video and Text:

But laws alone won’t be enough. Hearts must change. It won’t change overnight. Social attitudes oftentimes take generations to change. But if our democracy is to work the way it should in this increasingly diverse nation, then each one of us need to try to heed the advice of a great character in American fiction, Atticus Finch, who said “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

For blacks and other minority groups, that means tying our own very real struggles for justice to the challenges that a lot of people in this country face. Not only the refugee or the immigrant or the rural poor or the transgender American, but also the middle-aged white guy who from the outside may seem like he’s got all the advantages, but has seen his world upended by economic, and cultural, and technological change.

We have to pay attention and listen.

(APPLAUSE)

For white Americans, it means acknowledging that the effects of slavery and Jim Crow didn’t suddenly vanish in the ’60s; that when minority groups voice discontent, they’re not just engaging in reverse racism or practicing political correctness; when they wage peaceful protest, they’re not demanding special treatment, but the equal treatment that our founders promised.

For native-born Americans, it means reminding ourselves that the stereotypes about immigrants today were said, almost word for word, about the Irish, and Italians, and Poles, who it was said were going to destroy the fundamental character of America. And as it turned out, America wasn’t weakened by the presence of these newcomers; these newcomers embraced this nation’s creed, and this nation was strengthened.

General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

red5-626 said:

Some thing I just thought of. Some one may have already thought of it but I am not a kid nor do I have kids so I did not think of it. I was watching a video of a kid reacting to “I am your father”. The description said the kid had seen I, II, Clone wars Series, IV, V, VI, rebels. So he skipped Ep III. Now I,II,IV,V, and VI are all PG. EP III is PG13. Technically a kid should not see EP III until they are older. I wonder if G.L. thought of this?

Yeah i really really don’t think they got a PG-13 rating as a way to save the “I am your father” reveal. In fact, the reveal is probably broken for anyone growing up surounded by pop-culture, as the references to star wars are everywhere. I lent my blu-rays to a coworker who showed his son the OT for the first time, and the reveal was not a shock to his son “Dad, everyone knows Darth Vader is Luke’s father…” is the response he got. :p

Some things change and…

so, the whole ‘you’re a racist’ part of that is wildly inaccurate, and makes it hard to take the first part seriously. but i do recognize that there is some truth to the first part about blame on bush and Russia. that doesn’t mean that blame is wrong, but i do recognize that it exists. (if anything, i think Obama has a very good message on racism. did you even listen to his farewell address? you would probably like it).

I’m thinking some of you aren’t getting the fact that Obama is pointing a finger at whoever is in front of him, which would be the reader of the meme, and that is where they “you’re a racist” comment comes in. It does make sense, it just depends on how one “looks” at it.

😉

so Obama is calling me a racist… nope, still standing by my original comment.
