Well the painting is about 85% complete. problem is now that its so hot here at the moment that i can't work on it during the day because the paint dries way too quick, so that's slowed me down a lot. I'm hoping i can get it finished tonight then i can scan it. I'm not going down the photography route because the results just weren't good enough. Its going to be fun scanning it in on an A4 scanner though. :)

i stand corrected..

what i meant was , it can possibly SHARE files that you don't intend it to..

when you first set it up, it looks for other media to share beyond just the
ones you should be sharing...in p2p torrent applications that can NEVER happen,
as you only can share the files you are getting, unless you set up a torrent to
seed......in limewire, you might have file sharing on, and inadvertently share
out your desktop/private files/etc unwittingly, which is what happened to the
user asking the question...

sorry for the confusion...........yes, limewire is a useful application,
its just not as easy to use sometimes for the beginning user........thats what i meant..

(i had it working once, but now it refuses to run on my computer)..

...When I keep hearing stories about how even people with widescreen tv's don't care about everything getting stretched out and even get pissed off when someone tries to properly set it, I wonder.

Then again, the difference between anamorphic and non-anamorphic is rather insignificant when compared to the difference between sd and hd.

TNT.tv said:

Why does the screen look “stretched” when I watch TNT in HD?

In an effort to present a consistent broadcast, we have decided to maintain the same aspect ratio for all HD programming. An unfortunately consequence of this is that the standard TV ratio of 4:3 is presented as 16:9. This is what “stretches” the image. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused.

1)limewire is not a .torrent application, and it CAN possibly share files,
avoid it

Fang Zei said:

As for it being released on standard dvd again, I'm convinced that won't happen unless there's a day and date Blu-ray to go along with it. Ya think maybe people are getting tired of double/triple/quadruple dips?

Ziz said:

Is that for a torrent or something like RapidShare? I avoid torrents because one of the first times I tried it, I later found that while I was downloading what I wanted, the torrent app was UPLOADING RANDOM FILES FROM MY COMPUTER WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE!

I avoid torrents like the plague now.

Adywan (or anyone else) - Has anyone put up any specifically 'PURIST' version cover art, or disc art also, do you know? If so, where please? If not, there's a gap there surely...

By the way, am awaiting my own PIFed copy of the 'PURIST' version soon, and have 'g-rev' on board for one from me then. So the first next two to PM me can also get it from me. I'm in U.K. but will accept from anywhere. :)

That wasn't a trampoline, and you can't hear the bounce, no noise is recorded on the set like that, everything is done later in editing. You do hear Luke land, and his head pop back up from his crouched stance when he landed.

ROFL... yeah a big "c" in a circle would be more Star Wars-y

so no Vader image, eh? (just asking folks, no need for anyone to call down fire from the sky)

adywan said:

i had to put sample over the top of it because i have had paintings i have posted online before used without my permission and one even ended up in a fantasy calender and i received no monetary compensation.

I like it, but I would get rid of that big word "SAMPLE" on it. Just doesn't look right.

waiting to see who bites,

HotRod said:

Ok...So I'm at that point in my life where I go "Do I give my 3 year old son access to all my old vintage Star Wars toys?"
I had a lot as a kid growing up...was an only adopted child..guess my parents tried to please me...and still have all my figures and vehicles all in pretty mint condition in my parents loft. Do I give them to my son and let him totally ruin them....or just leave them there?
It's a tough one....He's just starting to like the films and loves the lightsaber he has, and I know I had the best childhood with my toys, I want him to be feel the same way...but that was a whole different time...things have changed just a bit too much for him to really appreciate all those wonderful toys!

Dunno?!?! I've always said I wouldn't let my kids play with my old SW toys..but it seems a waste to just leave them there.

adywan said:

Well things are going pretty smoothly at the moment. Not far to go with the painting now and the actual DVd structure is complete, so that is just waiting for the finished cover and it'll done. Hopefully the PAL will be available from May 4th (just had to pick that day) and the NTSC will be available straight after.

Here's another sneak peak at the painting:


Still not sure what route i'm going down to digitize the picture yet though.

So I'm the only one who quite likes Alien Resurrection?

Okay, so it sucks as a follow-up to the previous three, but if you see it more as another OTT, blackly comic Jean Pierre Jeunet film in the style of Delicatessen and City Of Lost Children, it's a lot of fun. I've learned to enjoy it a lot more than I did when I first saw it. It's also interesting to see how Joss Whedon (who hated Jeunet's approach to the material as well) later adapted some of the character types of the crew into the crew from Firefly/Serenity.

I just heard this 'rule of two' thing on MADtv on Saturday. I still don't know what it means, really. Can anyone supply a good link to explain it? (or just do it themselves if they have a minute)

CO said:

I just happened to pass by it when I was channel surfing last night, was that really Carrie Fisher helping one of the guests? I saw Darth Vader & Chewbacca doing one of the game spots, any PT characters?
