ON HOLD: A New Hope: ReVHSed (Pan & Scan of Adywan's Revisited)
Time

I've hit a roadblock. No matter how close I follow Ady's excellent directions/settings, I get framerate issues all over. Repeated frames, missing frames. I don't get it. And I only have 17 days left in my Sony Vegas trial.

Someone else may have to take up the reigns of this project. I started doing the framing to the 2004 version, but I later decided that I would just need to do my own version, especially after hearing about all of the different ones from KM.

STAR WARS: EP V &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - <strong>12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW</strong>
Time

I know you're a noob, but have you seen the 2006 DVD? It's misframed, jittery, blurry, and nowhere close to the quality for 2004 1080p HD source he's using for ESB. He used it to help get the basis for his color correction, but the quality is worth the work to color correct each shot.

For example:

These people complaining about the crazy suggestions for ESB obviously haven't seen the RotJ Wishlist in my sig or the even more insane things I DIDN'T put on there. Everthing has been suggested and RotJR hasn't even started yet!

I'm still a supporter of killing Lando and removing Boba Fett completely. More on that whenever we move on to RotJR. I'm not going to be hurt if they don't make it in Revisited (or DO make it, as the case may be), because it's a fanedit, and the movie can be fan edited again.

I'm with 005 on this one.  The idea's very cool as an intro to a bonus disc, but for me, that classic 20th Century Fox fanfare and logo, followed by the Lucasfilm logo, is the start of Star Wars.  Tinkering with it, therefore, seems like a bad idea to me.

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that, to this day, whenever I'm watching a movie from 20th Century Fox and that logo and music start up, for a fraction of a second I get excited because my brain thinks it's about to see Star Wars (see... Pavlov was right!).  Why mess with something that ingrained our our collective heads?

My brain works the same way.

Family members you just hate to hate.
Time

How frustrating! I'm not sure what to tell you man. Maybe you should talk to your parents, surely they are seeing this too. It's their daughter and granddaughter being hurt here. I'm not saying to hold an intervention, but your sister needs to be flat out told that her husband is a jerkface and she needs to do something about it. I would say to suggest threatening him to kick them out if he doesn't shape up, but it seems like that would only exacerbate the problem. If he does this living in your parents' house with them and you around, he'll be even worse if they were living on their own, especially if he's too lazy to get a job.

I encourage you to talk to your parents about it though.

Girls/wives who like Star Wars

Anyways, I know at least one other forum member here (whom I won't out, but he is free to identify himself) has a rather serious SW fan for a wife...

That's me. I wouldn't say my wife is "rather serious", but she does enjoy them more than most. Sure, I introduced myself to her before class one day because she was watching "Empire of Dreams" on her iBook and we quote Star Wars to each other (mostly TPM because its so awful). But its kind of like Erik:

My wife tolerates my Star Wars fanatacism. She doesn't sit down with me and watch the movies, but my 2 sons do. That's good enough for me. She's even asked me if I had any interest in joining the 501st or Rebel Legions.

See, and he had a Star Wars wedding. I guess we have extremely tolerant wives so much that you would think they were super-fans themselves.

However:

What she really doesn't get is why I spend so much time here.

There have been times where she has wanted to get me to fast from coming here, but I've managed to calm her down about it. "Meeting" xhonzi and 3PX online has helped I think. ;-)
