Just because Frink has met with the President of Donutlandia does not mean that he partook of the large holed donuts.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Trump is pushing hard to drop the Russia thing not because they’ll find anything, but because it’s embarrassing. Every step he takes to get rid of it makes him look guilty, but it could just be his ego.
I talked to Frink, and he believes what he’s doing is funny, and that’s all he has to say on the matter.
Suggestion threads do not equal work having started. We have threads for everything through The Ridiculousness Awakens, which will probably get done in 2050.

Hahahaha. Trump was right, he could shoot someone in cold blood and it wouldn’t matter. Trump supporters, including those in this thread, would just say there’s no proof and that the media is making it all up.
You may try and discredit me all you like with your petty little insults, but the fact remains, they are petty and ignorant. You resort to them every time anything of simple intelligence and basic logic escapes you. It’s a tell of your over-inflated ego.
I’m sorry, who is resorting to insults?
That was not an insult, it was a remark based in fact, from my past experience with your “reactions” to particular things I post. If you don’t like it, change it, otherwise it is what it is.
I don’t care either way, I just think it’s funny that you think I’m the one insulting you. I said you support Trump no matter what he does. You said I resort to insults (like saying you support Trump, apparently) whenever I’m too stupid to understand something. And also that I have a massive ego.
So ok, congratulations. I hope you feel better now.
I’m just waiting for Trey Gowdy to go thermonuclear over this, considering how it is much more dangerous than anything Hillary did.
Oh wait, he’ll never do that, because he’s a massive hypocrite. Like almost every other Republican on this issue.
Lol Trey Gowdy. Lol Republicans.

You seem to have conveniently forgotten the two remarks above that you made. Owning them would prove me right so I can see why you passed them by.
These prove I insulted you?
He’s taken your “attacks” on Republicans as personal attacks.
If people are couping, they suck at it.
I have a problem with people naming their kid after a character whose arc we don’t know the end of yet. He may never be redeemed and be Space Hitler.
So this is a thing.
President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.
The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.
I don’t even think he’s malicious about it. He’s just a moron who wants to lord things over people.
I’m guessing the number of his supporters that go ballistic and chant “lock him up!” over his mishandling of classified information will be exactly zero.
Considering that nowhere in the article does it actually prove this happened or in the exact way they said it happened I’d be leery no matter which side I supported. I am going to wait and see before passing any judgement because there just aren’t enough facts to make an informed decision either way.
Or, like my article points out, he bragged about it on Twitter. So it definitely happened. “I know so many secrets as President, you wouldn’t believe. You want to know some of them, Mr Ambassador?”
As the White House denies everything, Trump tweets that he had every right to share whatever he wanted with the Russians.
Was it actually someone else’s idea other than George to make changes to the movie (even if it was just re-doing a dozen or so shots with cgi) or were Muren and Knoll simply George’s enablers?
“George said, ‘As long as we’re going to re-release Star Wars, I always wanted to do more in the sequence at Mos Eisley [the metropolitan spaceport of Tatooine] because the town didn’t appear large enough.’ So we went back to expand Mos Eisley, and then to do matte paintings of the Sand Crawler and Jabba the Hutt’s lair. The initial scope of it involved just two dozen shots.” - visual effects producer Tom Kennedy
“I remember first hearing that they were going to re-release the movies in anticipation of the new series of films. A few weeks later, I heard that George was going to add some scenes that he had always wanted to do, and fix some things up. I felt we could improve the matte edges on some shots that had been done at the last minute—particularly those involving explosions. But there were also a number of shots in the space battle where the movements just weren’t right. If we could smooth them out, the action would have more clarity, and viewers would be able to follow the movie a little better. I suggested digitally re-doing shots in which the models were moving incorrectly.” - Dennis Muren
(I started gathering sources for a History of the SE years ago, kind of missed my 20th anniversary deadline, eh?)
005, are you slipping us secret information? I was sure Ady was capping Revisited at 720p to maintain quality throughout since he wanted the option to zoom in some scenes in the PT.
Wait, you’re right, confused “HD” with 1080p again.
No, a 1080p version would require a reconstruction, which is in the plans. I believe any sort of dodgy aspect ratio would have been in the XVID version, which doesn’t have all the changes anyway.
We’ll have to see.
I mean, he’s not replacing Porkins, but maybe while they’re doing new shots for ROTJR they can do some inserts for the extended TIE reveal.
I would say over 900 instances of visual differences, plus how many ever audio differences. Didn’t we have a breakdown of how many frames were different at one point?
I like the letter, maybe it would be good to sneak a number in there about the extent of the changes? Like- "today is the 40th anniversary of a milestone in filmmaking. The current version has over 150 distinct differences
LOL
Those are both illegitimate. IIRC, the “Limited Edition” was never sold in a set, and not in skinny packs.
Yes they were, in 2008. I saw them in fye and Best Buy countless times before they were pulled before the BD release. There was a prequel set and an original set, the latter containing repackaged versions of the 2006 DVD sets. That aside the 2006 sets was also available in a tin case at Best Buy when they first came out (I know cause I have it).
I was not aware of this. I ignored the entire thing, honestly. It is funny that a “Limited Edition” release was repackaged a couple times.
I’m glad that you see it so simply and fairly because that is exactly what it is not.
He thanked the man for not investigating him while firing him for investigating something he was convinced was worth jailing Hillary over. And his opinion changed in the last week about his usefulness. If Trump is going to fire everyone who is incompetent, he’s got a lot of work to do.

So it’s just coincidence that the man who led the “Lock Her Up” chants fires the guy who was running the investigation for doing it poorly on the cusp of the Russia investigation going full steam ahead, while mentioning in the letter firing the man that he greatly appreciated not being investigated himself. Cool, cool.
I like the short bit being an image leading to the longer letter.
The longer letter would have to go on the front page of the site.
Right. I was going to ask Ady if I could RT it from the SWR account, I’ll ask about FB too.

I thought we weren’t allowed to have socks.
“You’re not being hard enough.”
“You were unfair to her. You’re fired.”
Crowd still chanting “Lock Her Up!”
I never thought about replacing the Lambda with the cargo ship from R1. Thinking about it, the problems would be the full size sets. We see Han going up the ramp and the cockpit which would take impossible amounts of work to make match R1. Since we never see the interior of the Sentinel and it looks like a stretched out Lambda, with a couple of wide shot model replacements it would fit right in.
As for ship classes being seen in R1 and never seen again, I would argue that each one of those is a specific class that wouldn’t be needed in any other movie. Save for a cargo shuttle of course, but it seems like RotJ was just saving money by using the same model/set for Vader’s shuttle, the Emperor’s shuttle, and the cargo shuttle. I wonder if the Sentinel was introduced in ANH SE for an eventual replacement of Tydirium in a future SE but the idea was abandoned. Who knows?
