You can’t play ignorant about how forums work then reference long gone accounts and inside jokes.

Your very name is suspicious.

We’re still in the transition process. We cannot be responsible for new users yet.

This happens in ANH when Han is shooting at Stormtroopers in Docking Bay 94.

Tvs frinck js bullying and harassing me and no one is takings me serious now people are accusing me of being a sock i dont even no what that is

Last chance. If you are indeed a real person who is new to this forum and confused by how you are being treated, it would help if you put a little effort into making your posts legible and actually contributing something besides complaining about TV’s. Once you have something serious to say, maybe people will take you seriously.

You’re gonna have to try a lot harder than this.

He’s not wrong, it is ridiculous.

I found a couple edits on this website but they don’t seem to fix the major problems of the movies.

I find that the Ridiculous Edits fix all my problems with the movies.

Nothing beats Lucas’ explanation, where somehow your Force ghost is only as young as you were the last time you were on the light side? So Anakin gets to be younger because he was a shit for longer.

I don’t recall any gags, can you point a few out?

Gags (spoilers, maybe):

Cruise jumps off of a moving car to crash into a yoga studio in an uncomfortable position as a woman with her head between her legs waddles over to assist.

Cruise jumps on the back of a jet pack policeman, who then flies into an apartment, cooking their hamburgers for them as the woman keeps yelling to get out of her apartment. This is followed immediately by cutaways to the family in the apartment above backing away from their dinner table just before the jet pack flies through it.

Cruise drops his (old) eyeballs and chases them down a hallway into a sewer grate.

I think there were a couple others, they just didn’t fit. Maybe a fan edit would help, but I don’t care enough to find/make one.

I see we opened up registration again. I’ve missed these quality threads.

I sit corrected.

Beru’s second “Hello” has Baby Luke’s echo on it. I will admit that I kind of teared up at the final final bit.

Minority Report

There’s really no reason why I haven’t seen it until this point, but I figured I would love it as it combines a lot of my favorite things (time paradoxes, Speilberg, Tom Cruise action film). However, I found it uneven tonally, to the point of distraction. I could understand having funny scenes, but there were gags just in the middle of things that threw me right off. I liked it well enough, but had it taken itself a bit more seriously I would have liked it even more.

3/5

Am I alone in this?

I wanted to break down the known Infinity Stones and how most of them have been on Earth forever. Figured I’d just come up with my notes here to share.

Space Stone (Tesseract): Hidden/lost on Earth until Loki steals it from SHIELD. Currently in Asgard.
Mind Stone (Septer): Given by Thanos to Loki who loses it on Earth. Currently in Vision’s forehead, on Earth.
Reality Stone (Aether): Hidden/lost on Earth until Malekith steals it from Jane Foster. Currently in Asgard.
Power Stone (Orb): Hidden/lost on Morag until Star-Lord steals it, & Ronan from him. Currently on Xandar.
Time Stone (Eye of Agamotto): Sitting in a libary on Earth until Doctor Strange steals it. Currently back in the library on Earth.
Soul Stone (???): ???

So 3 of the Stones have been on Earth for hundreds/thousands of years (ignoring the easter eggs in Odin’s Vault). One was in Thanos’ possession until he lost it on Earth. One had been on a dead planet for hundreds/thousands of years.

How long has Thanos been searching for them? The one he started with (Mind Stone) he gave to a trickster god who promptly failed to gain the Space Stone. The Reality Stone was hidden in a pocket dimension, IIRC, and we can assume the Time Stone is hidden through magic (it’s possible that Kamar-Taj is in a pocket dimension itself, though it still has wifi).

Infinity War will be interesting, as Thanos has to go through the Avengers (Mind), Asgardians (Space/Reality/Soul?), Guardians (Power), and Sorcerors (Time) to collect them all, even if he only has to go to three planets to do that.

Nope, just the Prime universe.

Saw Doctor Strange yesterday. Wasn’t very impressed by it. Seemed like the character arced rather quickly while everything else slowed down long enough to explain everything twice.

Before that I watched Exorcist III for the first time, on Blu-ray thanks to Bingowings. I’m not a horror movie fan, but I liked the original Exorcist and I feel that this had a good amount of balance between creepy stuff and weird shit and genuinely scry bits. I haven’t watched the “Director’s Cut”, which should be an interesting experiment.

I imagine it’s more that they’ll be a Klingon captain adversary. A Federation captain doesn’t fit in with Worf being the first Klingon in Starfleet thing.

Maybe they can bend it because Worf was the first to go to the Academy, but hopefully they don’t do that.

• FIRST, propose a site rule to impose term limits on all moderators;

• SECOND, continue the new user freeze to reduce membership through attrition;

• THIRD, a requirement that for every new forum update, two existing updates must be eliminated;

• FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on Fo;

• FIFTH, a lifetime ban on Fo;

• SIXTH, a complete ban on Fo.

There are definitely some FX shots in TMP especially than need some help/haven’t aged well.

That’s why they released the Director’s Cut back in 2001, but they only rendered the effects in 480p, so they haven’t put it on Blu-ray yet. Wait, you’re not talking about The Motion Picture? 😉

I really want the commentary track, but I don’t want to double dip (especially since I don’t even have a 3D tv).

The commentary is only on the iTunes copy, if that helps.

I think you meant that it’s ALSO on the itunes version 😉

SORRY, I was thinking of Star Trek Beyond. I wonder if my iTunes copy got updated with the commentary like my Fury Road got “Black and Chrome”…

DOUBLEPOST:

I blame myself.

doubleofive is tech being updated in the way the death star plans were in a new hope etc. so maybe it could match the prequels i mean not everything in the prequels were bad just most of it 😦

Adywan will be downgrading the tech in the prequels.

so does that included the death star plans as seen in attack of the clones is not going to be in a new hope revisited hd and is cg and cg yoda staying in the prequels

No, the Death Star plans in the original verison of ANH is inaccurate and creates continuity errors, so that would stay. Knowing Ady, I imagine we won’t see anything about the Death Star at all in the prequels.

Also knowing Ady, he’ll probably insist on building a Yoda puppet to replace the CG, but hopefully we can talk him out of it. 😉
