I must be the only person who thinks Rey’s theme is almost as bad as Rey’s character…

Probably not because it’s 2016 and there’s always someone who hates something but it would be a really obscure opinion.

Honestly, my dad and I’s greatest complaint about the movie was Rey’s character. If she was written better, I would’ve given the movie a much higher rating.

“My dad and I wish the mysterious character wasn’t so mysterious. 2/5”

(Frink literally told me to)

Is it really about historical novelty?

No one cares that they did that to the original Star Trek series.

But really, I like the new sound mixes but the obvious mid-2000s TV-grade CGI kind of takes me out of it. Fixing compositing issues is one thing, but I don’t want anything actually replaced.

TNG then. If Lucas had actually just gone back and recomposited the original effects, which was the original plan, then I’m not sure we’d be clamoring for the theatrical cuts.

TFA Blu Ray Releases
Time

“Ghostbusters” is the name of the original movie, but the title card on screen says:

GHOST
BUSTERS

Despite what my friend will insist, the official title is one word, no matter how many it says in the actual movie.

On another hand, “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” has always been the official legal title and what was on screen, no matter how many packaging changes we get, that’s the name of the movie.

General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

The new LEGO Star Wars shorts are brilliant. The latest episode, “Poe To The Rescue”, starts a new “The Resistance Rises” arc that leads into TFA. It also takes place immediately after the new “C-3PO: The Phantom Limb” canon comic, which is pretty neat. I’m just trying to justify the fact that I badly want Admiral Ackbar to have a personal ship he adores and calls “Daisy Mae”.

The only thing that seems odd to me is that they have 7 showings on the same day, across the country. Do they actually have 7 35mm prints?

Time zones and a really fast car.

Well, they have a DC and NY showing on the same day, and given that the run-time per film is about 2 hours …

you probably weren’t completely serious, but i considered your point 😃

I guess no one here went to the marathon leading up to TFA last December to see which versions were being run?

My friend (who’s a projectionist) did. He says the DCP’s are sourced from the 2011 Blu’s, except for TPM, which was a 2D folddown of the 3D version.

What differences exist in the 3D release?

Beats me, this is what he insists on saying when I ask him.
