My GOD man, it is NOT about ignoring reality, but it is not something to chat about, I have never sat around with my SW buddies and started talking about GL passing away just so I may have a chance at the UOT, or talked about dying in general with my Friends period, I mean what the hell? I would rather talk about what movie to see next? what video game to play next? who are you dating now? how is your Wife and Kids? but never death talk.


Guess that's what makes the world go 'round, now innit? My friends and I talk about EVERYTHING. Nothing is off-limits. I'm not about having superficial relationships that only exist around movies and video games. Theres a bit more to life than that.
And, considering I'm gay, I have no wife or kids.

Man, I'd seriously love to crash blu-ray.com right now. What a bunch of assholes.



LOL, what did you expect? the second you brought up GL dying so that the UOT can be released, I knew you were going to get suspended, whether you were hoping for his death or not, it is bad form either way, so this really should be no surprise really that this happened, I mean I am not, I saw it coming.



Nah. I'm not surprised in the least. They're just so freakin' annoying. I let my temper get the best of me. ;)

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">It's probably "inappropriate" for their forums...but</span>, as I stated, we talk about that on the Madonna forums all the time. Once she's dead, things will change. I'm not wishing death on anyone. I'm just stating my opinion of what will happen.

 


Well we all have our own thoughts on this, but I personally think it is inappropriate for any Forums myself, I know I do not like to read about that kind of stuff at all, I mean I know we are all going to "die" as you say it, but we do not need to talk about it, especially when it is about getting movies released, OH well I said enough, I need to get back out of this thread.


That's interesting.

I guess I'll go back to not ignoring reality, then?

That's why I hate some of the things people post in here, wishing or not minding death of someone over because you disagree with something they did or didn't do involving an entertainment form. Overboard. Big time.


There's a difference between wishing death on someone and what I said. Everyone is going to die...including George Lucas. I was just speculating as to what will happen when that inevitably does happen.

Shrug all you want, but a work of art is still being wiped off the map.


Were not denying that, but outlandish hyperbole and mearly sitting on your ass complaining about it is boring.  Less flair, more accuracy, more creativity to your concern might convince someone else.

But speaking of 'being wiped off the map'  this review has been pulled down:

http://productmarketing.com/2011/08/20/star-wars-on-blu-ray-on-sep-19-700am.html

google had the opening line as:


Star Wars on Blu-Ray ((on: sep 19 7:00am)). By Steve Johnson on August 20, 2011.

Wow. How the hell did you find that. lol :) did you email him?

The thing is, in this case I'd actually be more inclined to believe that this isn't the footage from the actual Blu-Rays, as they're snippets from documentaries, so they would probably use the 2004 HD master just as it was, just like Empire of Dreams uses a lot of 97SE footage.


Doubtful...the footage isn't snippets from the documentaries. They wouldn't show scenes this long in a documentary. The intro's for each little EPK would be clips from the documentary and then there's a corresponding snippet from the actual film.

And don't even get me started on the fact that there aren't any legitimate documentaries on discs 7 and 8.

Which probably means we get the same edited version of SPFX that has always been on video, or worse yet, the 90's version of Making of Star Wars that replaces William Conrad's original narration. :(



How was SPFX edited?

 


Some clips from a couple Disney films apparently couldn't be cleared for home video, and were chopped out. This makes Mark Hamill's reference to them later on in the doc rather cryptic. An uncut version recorded from an European broadcast has been spotted on Youtube.


Interesting. Never knew that.

Idea &amp; Info: 'Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown' and 'Race For Your Life Charlie Brown' - airing on HD channels throughout June and July... how bout a DVD preservation?
Time

marioxb said:

Don't think anyone had any luck the last time, but I'm actually watching right now, Bon Voyage Charlie Brown on Time Warner Kids on Demand. It was 1.99 and I don't know if it's uncut or anything, but I hope so! It seems to be non-letterbox, which I heard was the correct ratio anyway.

Is that in HD?

For those of you who were looking, you should definitely invest in the Hauppauge PVR.  it's currently the only way to record ANYTHING in HD.   I have TONS of stuff in hd.

Unfortunately, I don't have HDNET.  Time Warner has something against it and they almost always have a movie on there that I'm dying to cap in HD. :(
