I've received a PM from Angel explaining why certain IP addresses match.

I'm now satisfied that Angel and Nebula are, in fact, two different people.

I've asked Jay to unban Nebula; we will of course still take action against anyone posting any more personal attacks or off-topic posts in the ESB:R thread.

I love it when a plan comes together!

If we can get a higher resolution scan, we could get Tiny Lando in there pretty seamlessly.

GENTLEMEN!



If we can get a nice high res cover of the laserdisc, we'll have tiny Lando and tons of more to the side!

Though it does look like Jabba's tail is an early Photoshop job....

Comics on the Kindle, 005? I was thinking of trying that but it seemed like it wouldn't look great.

This is my new favorite image:

Poor you, indeed.

My big problem with this commercial is that anyone needs an ad to tell them that their cell phone company will port their contacts over. Seriously, what company doesn't, and why wouldn't you already have your contacts syncing to an online service anyway?

Oh, and Yoda, really? You needed to pay a lot of money to get Yoda to make that point for you?

I don't know if I'm relieved that this was a sock attack, or more upset that the gloves have been thrown down. Nice to know what someone really thinks of me...

I still get real books when its a picture book, or encyclopedia-type book. Kindle for everything else. Heck, I've even gotten into Comixology, which lets you buy comic books for your tablet/phone. I've got a few comics on there, it works pretty well!

We were just getting some ink from Amazon and needed to get something else to make free shipping. My wife says in her best Tommy Wiseau voice "How about The Room!"

I find it and add it to our cart, which is now more than enough for free shipping. She then says "Get Birdemic too!" Would you believe (1) it's on Blu-ray and (2) the Blu-ray is $2 cheaper than the DVD?

The new Blueprints book has a map of how the base, battle, and generator were supposed to be laid out. It goes a long way in straightening things out.

Thanks for trolling!

Like I didn't know until I read the article, and suddenly everything made sense.

We need to make a chart that shows his movies and the state of his relationships as he was making them. This "naive" filmmaking doesn't sit right with me, I think its a deliberate modern thing.

I didn't realize that Lucas' girlfriend was black. Is it bad that I think that's why he finally pushed this movie through?

Is it bad that the first thing I noticed is that it hasn't been color corrected? Seriously, how could this have gotten out of QC twice?

Honestly, if we had a nice high resolution of the VHS box, we could just try putting Tiny Lando in there and calling it a day. If the colors and blending are done well enough, no one would notice.

Of course, no one will notice that its not Tiny Lando either...

Far as I can tell, tiny Lando and the cockpit around him are all new. It's not a simple matter of shrinking him. I wouldn't worry about it.

I might see what I can do with it as well; this type of manipulation is more in line with the kind of raster experience I have (i.e., manipulating existing elements rather than trying to seamlessly match elements from various sources), though I'm far from a Photoshop guru.

HA, tiny Lando! I'm torn, as I love the accuracy of the others, but I'm also OK with how Jedi looks with the actual poster art. Maxim, you admit to not being good at rasterized images, maybe someone can take a crack at shrinking Lando and faking more to the side?

Mmmmm, physical models in high definition...

That's one way of interpreting it. I used to get upset at people replacing the opening credits with their own, but we may have to! ;-)

I'll read something on my Kindle, then stop and not read anything for a long time. Not the Kindle's fault though. I just don't take the time to read much. Going to try to more this year (which is what I said last year).

Disappointingly, google is the only site I have been to today that is protesting it.
