Well to me it’s the cheapest looking SW of the entire series

Actual movie still.

No. Really? No.

I’m going to question anyone who has ANH as #4 on any list.

As I saw TFA in 70mm IMAX, (twice) it looked pretty damn good to me.

I was going to say the same thing.

Does it take place in the MCU or is it unrelated?

So far all live-action has been in the MCU. If so, it’s going to be hard for the other series to not constantly reference Squirrel Girl, THE GREATEST SUPERHERO OF ALL TIME.

Indeed, I want the ignore feature back.

I had an actual dream last night that the ignore feature was all of a sudden back, and frevious was already ignored for me.

Feel kinda silly with an answer that basic…

Okay then, I’ll put that unnecessary brain worm to bed. LOL

Glad you can finally stop wandering the earth and can put your soul to rest.

Someone should interview as many of the original model makers as they can and write a book. Maybe with a week-by-week breakdown of the history and construction of this model as I swear no two pictures before filming have the model in the same state.

There a project for this…

Is this still around?

Ok, here goes…

The first Death Star had a propulsion system that toted it around the galaxy to act as a means of coercion and destruction. Presumably, it had both shield generator AND armor and a fatal flaw that was incorporated into its design was exploited.

Death Star II was fully operational at the time of it’s assault by the Rebel Alliance. Presumably, armor in place with its shield generator, which was located on Endor. However, by that rationale, the second Death Star was entirely reliant on Endor for its shield capabilities. If not for its orbit around the moon, it was subject to destruction.

So…

Did the Empire have designs on building shield generators on every system under its control? Was there a similar propulsion system or was there one at all? If there was a propulsion system and only the one shield generator, were they going to tow Endor out of orbit of its home planet and drag it across the galaxy? Were they going to build multiple Death Stars, one for each system, and build shield generators for support in their respective systems? Or could the Rebellion truly have just avoided Endor altogether if they had wanted to?

As George Carlin would say, “These are the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools.” Thanks in advance for any assistance on this mental anguish I have suffered these 3+ decades.

DS-1 didn’t have shields, at least not very effective ones. DS-2 only had a shield during the construction phase, once all the physical gaps were filled in, it would have been indestructible on it’s own.

I have a question that I’ve been chewing on since 1983. Nobody has ever answered it and I can’t get any major content creators to answer me. Anyone up for a head-scratcher?

We can help you. We were meant to help you.

He wouldn’t think it was wrong, would he?

Here’s a movie I saw back in 2001.

A couple had a baby boy, but it ended getting switched with another baby. Years later, this boy turns out to be a creepy kid who exhibits weird behaviour; namely, whenever people die or disappear under mysterious circumstances, he draws pictures which appear to indicate what happened to them. In time, the parents learn the creepy kid isn’t their biological son; their real son lives in a foster home, 'cause the woman who was raising him – the actual mother of the creepy kid – is a violent psychopath who was committed.

Anyway, it turns out the creepy kid isn’t the villain of the story; it was his psychologist or something behind the murders, and the creepy kid just happened to witness him in the act. In the end, the parents take their biological son into their home to raise alongside the creepy kid, who still exhibits antisocial behaviour and will still probably grow up to be a sociopath.

I’ve actually seen this movie. It’s got one of my favorite actors in it… I’ll get back to you.

A poster for the video release.

Ohhhh

My thought were a hologram like poster I got real excited for a second.

See how it lists the video releases at the bottom? 😉

I’m fine with waiting for 4k, especially since I’d rather pay a couple extra bucks to future-proof (assuming a regular bd copy is included)

Part of the 4K Blu-ray standard is coming with a standard Blu-ray, IIRC. Same with 3D Blu-ray.

Forgot that my little brother buys every Blu-ray, so I have his digital code. 😉

Neat! Is it an actual file or a streaming type thing? I’m very interested if it’s a file.
005, you might get mine if it’s not.

It’s both. Some of the apps (iTunes/VUDU) let you download a propriety file. It’s just like if you bought the movie on whatever service.

It’s a Disney Movies Anywhere, which means if you tie your accounts together, it can be on every service.

If you’re not interested in redeeming it, I’ll take it. 😄

I think the idea is interesting, but in execution I don’t see how you could integrate any of the video game footage into any of the films without the switch being incredibly jarring.

What makes you say that?

The difference between film quality CGI/models and video game CGI is still rather large. Say nothing of the live action people and environments to CGI.

Disney isn’t allowing Amazon to collect pre-orders on their stuff, or vice versa. Which may affect their stock. Hell, they may not have been able to order the stock until today.

Weird how this is just now official. But we have a name. No mention of her being the lead. I wonder if this has shifted post-Fuller.

So good. There was action and violence, but it was the first X-Men movie to not be about the set pieces, it was about life and struggle and love and redemption.
