Wife and I watched "The Guild" on Netflix this weekend. Wow, so stinking funny. I really don't think one has to have a knowledge of World of Warcraft in order to appreciate most of the humor. It's well acted, well written, all around entertaining.
Wait, is it streaming? I haven't picked up the fourth season yet, so...yay!
Yes, they have all four seasons, each one strung together into one feature length episode. It's pretty awesome.

There is no need to add breath to the really outdoor scenes as they were really shot outdoors in the cold.
As opposed to the kind of sort of outdoor scenes?
I suppose he means the ones that were actually shot outside, but it would need to be added to stuff like the Wampa cave.

And apparently we caught up just in time for the new season! Its interesting, its a web series, 5 minute long episodes released on Xbox Live and MSN Video. Which means I can continue to watch it on my TV!

I'm impressed they managed to bring a traditional movie out of the last act of the book. I liked it, but it does not stand alone at all, and I think they didn't go far enough in explaining something that you would understand had you read the books. I'd go into more detail, but we'd need spoiler tags.

Oh, by the way, my favorite line was Voldemort telling Snape "You killed Dumbeldore." I leaned over to my friend and whispered too-loudly "SPOILER" ;-)

What do you LIKE about the EU?
Time

I think the genetic template idea was introduced because all of the pre-2002 EU having recruited/conscripted soldiers. I'm not sure there was ever a definitive statement, and it is still contradicted in older EU (wait until "Heir to the Empire", where clone troops are discussed at length). I've always been of the opinion that they tried to make clones of clones, which are really low quality who can't shoot properly. ;-)

3) The creepy kid at the locomotive.


Had to look up what you were talking about. Hehehe, that is really funny! Rotten little kid. He is probably still really proud of himself for that one to this day.

I don't see it as anything that ruins the movie, just a child actor making a crass little immature joke.
I don't even know how to look that up. What happened?

Original VHS Releases

Also check out the work by Adywan.  A year ago he released his "Theatrical Version" for ESB's 30th anniversary.  Before that he released a greatly acclaimed versions of ANH that are more like what it seems most of us WISH the SE had been.  Of course, this doesn't meet the need for a strictly ORIGINAL version for ANH, but you should check them out sooner or later.
I would say Harmy has surpassed Ady's theatrical cuts, and they're in 720p!

The Blu-ray uses alternate angles to branch both versions.  As far as I know (but I've never actually seen it, as I have no Blu-ray player), that means ALL the changes will reverted if you choose to watch it that way.
Yes, you can watch the original effects or the new effects. The editing is always the same because they specifically wanted to avoid the "Special Edition problem". Aside from enhanced mattes and new space scenes, there are a handful of phaser effect changes and a couple Gorn blinks. No other effort was made to fix mistakes or visible zippers or obvious stunt men...

My frustration is that they didn't have the time or budget to do it all the way. Sometimes phaser effects or other effects are enhanced and its awesome. Other episodes they didn't have time so they just left everything the same. I wish they had done an all or nothing approach. Another frustration is that they couldn't go all the way back to the original elements, so the fades to the new space effects have to start before the original fade did.
