Right.

“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.

I’ve always wanted to see that Gary Seven spin-off that never happened.

There’s a Gary Seven comic series that is pretty great.

He did come back for The Animated Series. With a drug that makes women fall in love with men, and men to… Become best friends with men.

“I, Mudd” is one of my favorite episodes of TOS. It’s just so goofy.

I’m on iOS, but I’m curious what it would add beyond what the vastly-enhanced mobile site already does?

I’m sure its due to the confusion of where the movies were going to be shown.

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”.

Rumor, move along.

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 😃

ALLOL

It’d be easier to have 6 DCP’s than to switch from digital to film to back to digital. It makes sense they would show 2011 in a full saga marathon.

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.

The writer’s of the new series have a Twitter account

Every time a Drafthouse answers “what version” on Twitter, they say specifically “1997”. Knowing how crazy they are, I’m sure they got film prints, which intrigues me.

I’ve never come across people like this in the real world, but online? Most certainly.

I know very few people in real life that want to discuss anything related to Star Wars.

Yesterday I walked back into my work area and one of my coworkers was saying he’d just seen TFA. My other coworkers saw me coming and said “Oh, there’s Drew, he can talk to you about Star Wars.” “I don’t need to talk about it in that much detail though,” he replied.

I’m known, and a few of my coworkers at least care about Star Wars a little.

I just like comparisons, saw a need on this forum and helped fill it.

I feel like Fox is going to get as much as they can out of the movies before the full rights revert to Disney.

Alamo Drafthouse knows what they’re doing, so it’d be a lot of fun. It is a bummer it’ll be the SE of some sort.

O. J. used to be a professional NFL player.

I honestly forget about that. And he was becoming a movie star. I forgot when people were famous for actual reasons, unlike some people who are featured maybe a bit too heavily on this miniseries?

I always assumed you saw Star Wars in theatres.

Thanks? I did see the SE in theaters opening day. Got interviewed on a Knoxville radio station for “not even being a zygote when the original came out”.

It was easier to remove the ONE instance of red lights on ONE walker than it was to add red lights to every walker in every shot. It’s not rocket science, people!

If it IS the 97 SE on film (which the articles say its the 97 SE, but what do they know), that might be interesting for Respecialized and color grading projects.

And its put on by Alamo, not at their theaters.

** The 2004 SE, more than likely.

** Only at select theaters.

I remember being at work and getting called into the conference room to see the verdict read.

Now that’s very interesting. I wonder why the entire nation was so interested in this case, was it just the constant news coverage that forced it to become important? Was everyone really that concerned about race, like it showed on the series?

I was too young at the time. All I remember is that the highway chase interrupted TGIF, which was the only TV I was allowed to watch back then.
