I got into Google+. It's a stripped down Facebook, I'd like it a lot if I had more friends on there. I wish the Invite function would turn back on. It's hard to beta test a social network without a network of socialness.
Love the trailer fades!
So did I win the prize for the subtitle? What do I get again?
It took us 7 years to find it. I guess quality control doesn't do a frame-by-frame check.
Well. Huh.danny_boy said:
Well probably the most exceptional looking contemporary fantasy film---Avatar--- was shot at 1080p:
Despite shooting a max of 2K as opposed to 4K, ARRI is confident that their video quality will look just as good as anything shot on RED cameras—<span style="text-decoration: underline;">partially thanks to a 13.5-stop dynamic range</span>. And they promise that the build quality, reliability and comfort of use will outpace anything released by RED...which is one reason the Alexa is bold enough to cost a minimum of $20,000 more that anything from RED in a shoot-ready configuration. ARRI is also less concerned about the resolution race, citing the fact that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Avatar was technically shot in 1080p (Cameron's Fusion camera system is technically just dual Sony HDC-F950s) and no one seemed to complain.</span>

I didn't think that was a dead horse. Pointless once we got the point across, but having the blueprints would be the definite answer.
I'm VERY interested.
Same here. Like I said on Facebook somewhere, of course Ep 2 and 3 will look good on this format, they were SHOT at 1080p! The complaints will come next home theater standard, when the other 4 are able to be properly scanned at the resolutions the new formats will be capable of, Ep 2 and 3 will be stuck where they are.adywan said:
i guess they got a bunch of people they knew would say how good the transfers look, but really haven't got a clue what they are saying. Clueless statements, like the above mentioned and the following, invalidated anything that they say in that review for me:While the newer Star Wars films were ready made for high definition, the older films will obviously suffer a little from the all scrutinizing eye of HD. (The only pre-digital, color sci-fi film that holds up spectacularly well to date is 2001: A Space Odyssey; and to quote Malcolm McDowell out of context, you’re talking about Stanley fucking Kubrick. No offense, Mr. Lucas.)

LOL
I'm guessing there aren't huge glaring changes in the BD. No mention of fixed sabers or anything. Sounds like they probably stuck the 2004 master on BD disc and called it a day.
Until one of us or someone like us sees it, I'm not going to believe anything.

I like the Theed line, but is it too quick to read?
The problem is that YOU won't actually benefit from the money, another you will in another timeline. You'll still just have a time machine. And if you try again, you'll just give money to yet another you. What you'd have to do is REPLACE another you, just as Marty did in BTTF. The Marty of that timeline went back to the 50's and he took over for him in 1985a.CP3S said:
I've made up my mind. I am going to buy that real full functioning DeLorean time machine. It'll pay for itself in no time! I'll just use it to go toss a few hundred bucks in a savings account fifty years ago while I am on my way to go make Ms. Hepburn fall in love with me and make RedFive jealous.
This is going to be great! Best $50k I'll have ever spent!
Wow. So for all intents and purposes, this frame is destroyed in Lucas' ultimate version. If the Blu-ray has this, we will KNOW it is the 2004 version.
I think "free" is a very good price. ;-)xhonzi said:
That's a pretty good price for it. Amazon has it for $45 or something. Toys'R'Us only has the whitewall MKIII, but it is for that same price.
But I think I'd rather have a MKII. Which thinkgeek doesn't apparently have. :(
I'll probably just end up with this. I have enough Geek Points to get it for free with a $50 purchase.doubleofive said:

I watched the first few minutes. It was my first experience with True Blood. Let me say, it does not impress. My wife and I kept looking at each other like "people watch this?" I like what io9's summary said at one point:dark_jedi said:
I am still up in the air on Falling Skies myself, not really sure if I like it or not yet, but has anyone watched the premier of Season 4 for True Blood? if so was it good?
The fae then proceed to throw magic light grenades at Sookie. This is a real adult show that actual people watch.
"Yipee!"
"It's a trap!"
"One does not simply walk into Theed!"
I played the demo once!
You know, I'd like to play Bioshock, but I'm afraid it won't live up to the hype you've set up for it.
Maybe I'll grab it after I get to beating AC2 and RDR. And Zelda 3D. And I suppose I'll never beat Pokémon, as I will never be able to "catch them all."
I need something more real.TV's Frink said:

It's a bot!
I met a guy last night at a party who was wearing a Star Wars shirt. I asked if he had heard of Star Wars Revisited, and that they were basically what I think the Special Editions should have been.
"I've never seen those."
"What?"
"The versions that were released in theaters a few years ago. I've never seen them."
I hugged him and said he'll do alright.
The viceroy? What?
This is good stuff. Just nice to have one page to point people.
