Apparently the love and trust I’ve felt for my best friend for the last three fucking years has all been a lie. It’s my fault for going with my heart over my brain. I fucking hate life. I always have though.
Is this the same woman who has broken your heart before?
Regardless, sorry to hear of the pain you’re going through.
I’m glad your dad is OK, Ender. It’s certainly concerning, but I do send all of my well-wishes, and hope for the best for both you and him.
Forgot to say thank you. “Thank you.” 😃
Here was an idea I had not to show the x-wing with the wings already up when R2-D2 beeps at the camera after Luke says “Red five standing by” Why? Because on the next shots the x-wings unfold and it no longer feels like Luke is part of the group that we see opening their x-wings to prepare for attack. So it’s almost as if Luke disobeyed Red Leaders orders to put the x-wings in attack and he just does what he likes. So I wanted to keep R2-D2 beeping as a character but lose the open wings before the order is given and feel part of the group in the next shots.
Make approaching the death star 3D and show the axis and that they are cutting across it “I’m going to cut across across the axis and try and draw their fire” This also gives a better sense of scale I think.
Show Lukes x-wing being cooked and lightning sound effect but use the better swoop up from the special edition also
very difficult color grading but color for the surface explosions is there!
effects idea and color grading for the deflection tower destruction.
@ Bingowings
It would be interesting to see Leia syringed?
You are giving me ideas about the torture scene now… Show the needle going through the white dress and emptying in close up?
I always liked the hologram ball of yours Bingo. but I thought it would be good to see a brief glimpse of a cloaked figure tuning out and the device switching off… Keep it secret!
This one is probably much more doable now than it would have been ten years ago :
Forgive the roughness of these mock-ups but (and I appreciate how difficult it will be) the helmets of the Rebel pilots need more than just an insignia colour change.
Ady recognised this when he changed the insignia from blue to red but the clean helmet squadron don’t appear in the battle so it’s still kind of odd that get such prominent screen time.
Yeah there must be a few cut pilots for those helmets…
Some more ideas…
Vader follows and leaves the trench
This is it!
The’re right behind me?1? More focus on action in the trench runs…
YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Red Leader crash replacement.
Wedge hit / more spectacle
Yooo Hooo!
Proton Torpedo color change
Did you do all these mockups or where did you get them? Some fun clips there.
I predict that darth_ender will be sad that so many humans have chosen to sacrifice their democratic input in favor of having a soulless dictator tell them what to do!
Must be a bunch of Trump supporters. 😦
Ugh, this picture emphasizes my fatness, and I look about as tired as I feel, plus I hadn’t shaved, but this is the real me in my office.
Are you the only one who can’t see it?
Maybe it’s better that I keep hidden 😉
Most people I know have either never seen it or saw it once and don’t really remember it that well.
I fall into that second category.

Taking the plunge and giving up on my privacy.
A relative of mine went on a brief (no pun intended) rant on Mormons and “secret underwear they must have at all times and even bathe in.” Taking this with a couple helpings of salt, how much truth is there to this?
Also, apologies if this has been brought up before, I didn’t feel like reading 28 pages of this thread.
It probably has been brought up, but I don’t mind discussing it again. Probably the best place to look for basic answers is here:

No, we do not wear them at all times. However, we wear them whenever practical. We do not shower in them, swim in them, have sex in them, and often they are removed for sports activities (though I think one could easily wear them for sports in most circumstances). They are a constant reminder of covenants, like a wedding ring for example. A husband or wife wears the ring as often as possible to remind him/herself of promises made, but there are obviously times when it is not worn. This doesn’t mean the wife who is showering and removed her ring has committed adultery. Same principle with the garments.
My fondness for Batman '89 lies in the gothic atmosphere and Nicholson’s performance. That’s enough for me to prefer it over Returns, which I would’ve liked more if it weren’t for the absolute worst incarnation of the Penguin I’ve ever seen.
You time traveled to the future and stole what I was going to say!
Well, my plans to see Blade Runner 2049 today didn’t quite work out, but I will hopefully get to see it either tomorrow or next weekend. In te meantime, I think I’ll watch Solaris (1972).
Welp, it’s Friday night. Gonna get out some cold skim milk and cereal and work on some more homework. Might get crazy, shake things up, and have some hot cocoa!
LOL. Now Adywan has to replace Admiral Ackkar with Senator Vreenak.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah, I have no idea who that is.

Now watch DS9 already, you sillypants.
Ah! I like!
I just told you one if his many names!
Oh, man, I have to be honest, I think I enjoyed his obnoxious behaviors because I kept catching him! I felt like I was trolling the troll!
I really miss the days when Disney animation was wonderful.
Funny how technological developments are supposed to improve things. Yet 2D animation has turned to ass since traditional animation was phased out.
I’d rather breathe passed gas than watch plastic Flash.
You have a way with words, my friend.
His last name isn’t Skywalkers!
Yeah, it’s Father Skywalker…singular. 😉
Dang! Beat me to it! That’s a pretty funny one!
LOL. Now Adywan has to replace Admiral Ackkar with Senator Vreenak.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah, I have no idea who that is.
We shall execute our despot Frink and exalt our enders!
Sam the Spam sock confirmed! 😉
I think you’ve gotten carried away.
A wizard never gets carried away. Nor does he he underutilize a joke. He always reuses precisely the right number of times.
Inspired by this brilliant post, I have decided to start this thread.
Did you see a movie you wish you hadn’t? Want to gripe about it? Here’s the perfect thread!
I want that as a fake banner ad on the site.
That alone would be enough for me to disable my AdBlocker! 😉
I’ve seen Batman Begins so many times, I decided to skip it this time, so I watch The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises for the first time in a few years. I have to say, I still really enjoy Batman Begins best (from memory, obviously), but I enjoy Rises next. It seems the majority’s favorite of the trilogy has officially been sealed as my least favorite, whereas in the past it was a tossup between TDK and TDKR. The Joker’s motivations are so confusing, his “dog chasing cars” bit contrasting so completely with his amazing clairvoyance of how to preemptively defeat the good guys, and the lack of focus on Bruce/Batman all disappoint me.
I feel like every few years I ramble off the same points on this forum. I’m sure I’ve said this elsewhere here. Anyway, Joker is hired to kill Batman, threatens to kill someone every day till Batman reveals himself, then tells Batman he doesn’t want to kill him (laughing at the very notion, because Batman completes him) and goes to great length to keep Batman’s identity hidden (and then in the end nearly kills him after all!). He says he doesn’t plan, he just does things, but he redirects a convoy to a vulnerable underground road with the necessary vehicles and weapons to defeat the convoy, knows when SWAT truck carrying Dent will return to the surface, and even has masked men ready with cables to take down a police chopper. He manages to get caught (and apparently wanted to), just so he could blow up the police station and capture Lau against all odds of this plan working out so well. He and his henchman are able to place explosives in closely monitored areas (hospitals are extremely closely-monitored facilities, as healthcare is one of the most regulated professions in the world). Yet, in spite of all this amazing planning, he convinces the brilliant DA that it was all just an impulse. Then there’s the stupidity in that he convinces the mob to pay him half their savings in cash so he can kill Batman, then when he gets paid for not killing Batman, he torches the cash, and all the mobsters’ flunkies decide to join him!
I’m sorry, but the logic to this movie was sorely lacking, and it really disappoints me. Yes, Ledger portrayed a great Joker, and Eckhart played a great Two Face, but that doesn’t excuse such mammoth lapses in logic. Its strongest point is its ending, where Batman is willing to take the fall for Harvey, proving that sometimes a lie is more valuable than the truth. It’s filled with numerous interesting moral dilemmas leading up to that ending, but still the plot just irritates me on a certain level.
TDKR is much more logical, even if there are certain points where suspension of disbelief is greater than in previous installments. Bane’s motives are clearer, and the movie is intense throughout. It’s definitely a bit longer than necessary, but overall I still love the movie.
And Batman Begins still remains my favorite, especially because the primary focus is on the hero and his journey to the point he is at.
