STRIKE-HER!

(Im sure theres an Airplain reference there some where).

We have no tower sir.  Only a bridge.

Its my opinion and the opinion of my friends that he is smelling the troopers and reacting like they smell bad.  It's juvenile, yes, but its still funny!

Not a bad idea, but I'm not sure how Ady would feel about it.  It's kind of revising the originals to fit in with the prequels, which he frowns upon, but I don't think it would be a terrible change.  Most people wouldn't notice, and unless Ady can replace Qui-Gon with Yoda, it helps out the prequels.

Here's an old anim I did in Vue 6 of a snowscape, it's not as fast as the ones in TESB, but something like this with better lighting and mountains might be possible !?

You did that?  That's pretty awesome!

I'd love for some to Revisit some of the Star Trek movies.  Some of them could use the continuity.

I can't remember where I read it, but I felt better about V after reading an article about how only the vaction scenes should be taken as real, with the rest of the film being Kirk's nightmare.  His friends lie to him, betray him, he loses his ship, he finds that God is inside all of us, and everyone is reunited.  No one speaks of it again.

you need long enough footage of fast moving ground for this to be able to work.

One word: conveyor belt.

:p

I can't imagine what Ady's workspace looks like already, but I can imagine his wife just rolls her eyes at it.  Can you imagine if he bought a conveyor belt?!  LOL

The Snivvian in the cantina (in the scene where the troopers walk past Han and Chewie) has had his face animated, but it doesn't look right (in contrast with all the other cantina aliens, which look absolutely excellent) maybe he should have been left unanimated. He has what I can only describe as 'melty face syndrome'

Are you kidding?  That's the best part, the part that made my friends that I've shown laugh out loud at how awesome it is!

Maybe an idea of sound like When jango fell throws seismic charges to obi kenobi.

The exposion first then the sound.

VideoCopilot have some good crater creating tutorials if you interested.

I was going to mention the "siesmic charges" if only to avoid all appearances to it.  Just a bit of rumble in the subwoofer is all I need. ;-)

now this is something that i did think long and hard about and i think they got it right just as it is. I don't see the bombs as being destructive at all. Why, if they want to capture the falcon, would they use destructive weapons that would possibly cause all sorts of internal damage to the inside of the asteroid and possibly destroy the falcon in the process. I believe that they are just very low yield bombs, maybe just flash bombs,  that are only meant to draw the falcon out. more of an audible attack.

I was thinking maybe add some LFE to the explosions?  Something to make them more menacing.  That might help, unless you want to convey the distance the shots are in space by keeping it quiet.

What'd you name that planet again, Ady?

Awesome that you removed all the extra stuff.  Sorry, I didn't look too carefully (and I never learned how to spell "Rogue").  Apparently Luke is mentioned a lot, eh?

The problem is that the scripts have the names of the characters who are saying it and the stage directions (that's where all the "rouges" come from).  So its more a sign of who has more lines. ;-)

It's still awesome.

Wow.  I never thought I'd see the day when XØ would be around.  Now, forgive me, but I'm not sure if I understand what the benefit of having another Laserdisc version would do...  What's the point of the project again?

DarenDoc says this in the article:

One point on the commentary of TMP that I’d like to clarify… when we made the recording, we were watching the transfer of the film that Robert Wise supervised the color timing for… and you can hear me commenting on that, and the fact that the two shots in the v’ger interior where we corrected the deflector dish color were in the copy we were watching… are not in fact in the new HD transfer.  Overall, I’m sorry to see that the timing supervised by Mr. Wise and approved by cinematographer Richard Kline isn’t on this release… the new transfer seems shifted a bit too much toward the cyan in most scenes… but the contrast and black density seems proper now, now that NTSC vagueries aren’t a consideration.

And clarified in the comments after I asked him what version he was watching:

We were watching a video of the original theatrical edition. When we color corrected the theatrical version with Mr. Wise, it was in HD… that was then down converted and used as the source material to do the Director’s Edition. This version of the theatrical cut was what we were watching when we did the commentary. We watched a standard def video when doing the commentary.

So they made an HD color-corrected version of the theatrical cut which has apparently never been seen!  The released Blu Ray is more original, but still a bit more cyan.

I think the SLV is fine having started with the DE since it was color corrected and looks good from that end.  Or are you going to go through and break the deflector dish color in Vger? ;-)

Now THAT is a classic picture.  Awesome.

I originally thought Doom being a prequel was Lucas revisionism when I got the last VHS set before the DVDs with the "Chapter" numbers on the side.  Took me years to actually READ THE SUBTITLES and see that it was always supposed to be before.  I believe I read an interview that it being a prequel explains why there aren't any Nazis.  Like being in China and India isn't enough of an explanation.  Still doesn't answer the question of whatever happened to Short Round.

Ah yes, it was the Super-SE.  I don't think I ever watched the regular SE.  I don't even like the T-1000 searching his room scene.  Nevermind then, I don't need to edit anything then.  :-D

I have the first metal-cased DVD with all three versions on a double-sided DVD, all three on one side.  Yeah, I need an upgrade.

Just got back from seeing it.  My verdict?

Nowhere near as awful as I was expecting.  I give it a 6.5 out of 10.  To compare that to the others:

The Terminator - 9.5/10
Terminator 2: Judgment Day [Theatrical Cut] - 8.5/10
Terminator 2: Judgment Day [Special Edition] - 9/10 (would graduate to 9.5/10 if the chip-resetting and the T-1000 malfunctioning were the only added scenes)
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines - 4/10
Terminator 3: The Coming Storm [Uncanny Antman fanedit] 6.5/10

So, since Terminator Salvation starts off at a 6.5 for me, I have a strong feeling that once McG's supposed director's cut comes out, a fanedit of that can bump it up to about a 7 or 7.5.

I agree.  I need to throw myself together an edit with that.  I would watch only the SE if it didn't have that terrible flashforward ending.

To bring this somewhat back on topic, when I posted the trailer to my facebook the other day, a friend of mine commented that he loved ANHR.  I questioned if he had been on the board, and he hadn't.  So word is getting around.  I'll have to ask him where he got it.

Changing anything or cutting anything about Watto is an abomination.

Boba.  He brings nothing to the movie.

how about either in the final battle, in the space battle, OR on endor we should have boba fett,
  maybe in the battle between vader and luke or in the space battle, OR a "final battle" between  Fett  and Han on endor

I'm not so sure about that.  We've discussed having him leave Tatooine before the Battle of Carkoon and/or having him deliever the trap/plans to the Rebels.  I'm more for cutting him out completely and totally.

This thread has fallen into MADNESS!  MADNESS I TELL YOU!

Except for this.  This is genius:

Bout the other Falcon, i contacted the Post office Tuesday and they got back to me today saying that they can find no trace of it

 

 

It can't have disappeared! No ship that small has a cloaking device!

Hey you might want to check the back of your shoulder... just saying.

I was too young to make a joke about the boastful sticker on the box :

  i dont get it

Do we really have to explain it?  It's dirty, I'll give you that hint. ;-)
