I believe we've already used the 3D printer for as-yet-unrevealed miniatures. Or revealed miniatures. It's not my job to keep track of such things.

What's that? It is? Oh.

I remember now that we released this picture, so yeah.

Thanks Tim, saves me some time. ;-)

What ever happened to this project Adywan are you still alive? 

Did someone mention Fett?!

I still think RotJ could do without him, but Ady says has something special planned for him. We only need to keep him from escaping.

Thanks, I will modify my theory.

I'm 14 years older than the youngest in my family, 11 years to the next oldest. So I know what you're going through. It's kind of awesome.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Ain't No Mountain High Enough the first song on Mix 2, and I Want You Back is the second?

My wife has a thumb drive she got at a convention that flips out of a full-sized cassette shaped case. It's The Coolest.

And I did send Gunn a link to my post on Twitter, so there's that.

There's another trailer that used "Spirit In The Sky".

Alright, I've put this off long enough, I have a theory that I want to share, if I don't push it out now, I never will:

------------------

Is it possible this mix created for Peter Quill by his mother is more than just a collection of her favorite songs, but the story of her and his mysterious father?

The song that really jumped out to me was David Bowie’s "Moonage Daydream”, his tale of Ziggy Stardust, the rock and roll savior of the world who at least communicates with aliens, if not falls in love with one according to the lyrics:

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

The rest of the mix seems to tell a story of falling in love, out of love, back in love, and wanting to reunite. Peter's mom was a teenage rebel ("Cherry Bomb")At first, she believes that Peter’s father is in love with her (“Hooked on a Feeling”), which he denies (“I’m Not in Love”). Eventually, she persuades him (“Go All The Way”), and they start their relationship (“Come And Get Your Love”). The father, who’s literally been around the galaxy, has to admit that she does mean something to him ("Fooled Around and Fell in Love”), but he fears that they don’t have enough in common ("Escape (The Piña Colada Song)”). He leaves her, but she remains convinced that he’ll come back ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough”). "O-o-h Child” is a straight-forward message to her son that, no matter what, things will get better.

The movie ends with the first song from “Vol. 2”, The Jackson 5’s "I Want You Back”, which to me signifies Peter's mom no longer being content with waiting for his father to come back, perhaps encouraging Peter to look for him.

------------------

If I wasn't an idiot, I would have realized that the DragonCon panel with James Gunn would be a Q&A session and I could have actually asked him this question, but by the time I got in line there were way too many people. People did ask about the soundtrack, and he said that the songs were "baked into the script".

Erik Pancakes said:

Well, "Spirit in the Sky" was meant to be in the movie, but the scene it played over was cut. I think Gunn said it'd appear on the DVD/BR in the deleted scenes section.

I think during the movie scene.

The question is, how will Anakin having seen this before play into it actually happening in TRSB?

I like it because its a functional movie prop replica. Except that it has a song established in the film as being from Awesome Mix, Vol. 2 and another that was only used in the trailers and was not approved by the director. So it's not a very good replica maybe...

The Clerks cartoons are amazing. Completely different from the movies. Almost like Family Guy, to be honest. ABC should have kept it around, and not aired it completely out of order. They showed episode 4, then episode 2 which is a stuck-in-a-walk-in-freezer flashback episode where the main joke is that they could only flash back to episode 1 which ABC didn't air. Blows my mind.

Disney/Marvel knows what the people want.

I imagine if I were to watch Clerks again, I wouldn't give it more than a 6.

I find that the more familiar I am with any given superhero or team of superheroes as they are presented within their respective comics, the less likely I am to enjoy any film or TV adaptations based on those superheroes.

A couple of the new ideas I really liked (crouch-walking and having an outline of the last place anyone saw you) have recently been announced for Unity, so there's that. I agree with this article that the Nemesis system is like the L4D "Director"; sure they're AI, but giving them a name makes us hate THEM and not the designers. Also it should be adapted for more games.

Maybe since we both said it, it'll sink in. ;-)

Adywan is making a 1-6 edit in their own continuity.

After Vader throws the old man down the well he could remonstrate with his son for not saying yes using the same source.

Edge of Tomorrow

Just as good as everyone promised. My wife usually isn't very vocal about movies, so when she turned to me to discuss it afterwards, then saying that we have to own it, it means it was very good.

4 time loops

This is why I love fan edits, the giant writers room of amazing suggestions.

C'mon guys. Everyone remembers Sluggo and TheBoost.

Aspect ratios is kind of one of my side projects, especially of Trek, so this difference is most intriguing.

The detail. The colors. I love it.

There is a band at the top that's off. Is that unaligned stuff? Extra information from one version?
