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.

I’ll play with you, Warb!

My wife and I enjoyed the series very much. I only knew a little about the trial, my wife even less, so it was educational and somewhat entertaining. I’d say if anyone was on the fence about it for any reason, let me push you over to have you watch it.

I bought the iTunes copy when it came out, figured if they release a 3D version later this year I’d pick that up. I’m all for having the IMAX scene in a more full ratio, and this is what happened with Into Darkness.

Altered color palette, I cleaned up some of TN1’s shots to replace GOUT shots, Catbus provided improved greedo subs and Hindi, Ukrainian, Russian, Navajo, and Thai audio dubs. Darth Lucas rotoscoped the saber in Ben’s hut from 35mm.

Thanks towne! My friend and I will be watching 2.5 this weekend, which will be still great!

My mom texted me her review:

My Mom said:

Fun, but just like E4 only guy’s/girl’s roles reversed

R2 was cute, Luke the same whiny character, “this guy won’t listen to me, I’m not going to play anymore. I’ll just move to this island and pout”

Liked it though and will watch others as they unfold too.

I think she meant BB-8 was cute, but she’s not wrong about Luke.

I finally download 2.5 last week, now there’s going to be a 2.7? I least I re-figured out how to download things. 😉

What’s the enhancement for this release?

But that fight will be between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and therefore we know that Vader did not “betray and murder” Luke’s father, as Obi-Wan tells him later.  So tim’s right, the whole fight would have to be removed.

No, that lightsaber duel was the best of the entire saga.

oh, it really wasn’t . All flash and no substance

I don’t mean any disrespect. I’m just asking out of curiosity:

Isn’t more ships added to the space battle and pasted shots of Yavin in the background of “A New Hope” also kinda all flash and no substance? They weren’t exactly the main focus of the battle scene.

Again, just asking out of curiosity. If my question offends you, I’m sorry.

Bringing more depth to space battles is hardly flash. It’s logically consistent with how a space battle might look.

I want to see the 501st threads pouring over the screencaps to critique the Stormtroopers or start modifying their own equipment to have the first Rogue One model.

I kind of just hope they bought ANOVOS costumes, making the ones purchased already 100% screen accurate to the movie, but in reverse.

I hate that they simply use the nostalgic factor instead of doing something new. Hey look - the Death Star. AGAIN. Oh look - Star destroyers. I remember those from my childhood. Oh look - the boring woman from Episode 6 - I sort of remember her. I remember all those things, so I guess I have a reason to go see the movie it and buy some toys, sorry, I meant “action figures”, right?

It’s a teaser trailer, this is exactly what it’s meant to do.

Anchorhead said:

I’ll will be very surprised if this isn’t my favorite Star Wars film of all. Much to discuss as the trailer screen-grab breakdown unfolds.

ANCHOR! What if they someone let it tie into the Radio Drama version of things?!

I wonder if the rumors about them filming with the Ultra Panavision lenses were true. This teaser is in 2.39:1, not the 2.76:1 Hateful Eight was. Will there be two different theatrical releases, one wide, one super-wide?

Screenrant has your HD screengrabs needs.

CHEWBAKAspelledwrong said:

What other one do you own? Why not the others?

Anchorhead is what we call a super-purist (no one has ever called him that before). He is a fan of the film “Star Wars” that was released in 1977 and the Radio Drama from 1981. He’s heard they made sequels and even PREquels (whatever those are), but he doesn’t care to watch them. I think we got him into a couple books at one point.

Anchor, what’s your head-canon now?

I get it: the network is sending out a 16:9 image, even to standard def TV’s, so when a show is actually 4:3 and would be pillarboxed, you get it really small with black bars all the way around (windowboxed?)

JEDIT: but this is what everyone else is thinking too.

What, how? Is that where that’s supposed to be?! Yes!

What can I say, I’m lazy.

Anyone else like how in the latest Axanar motion that they walk back their grand descriptions of their projects to “short mockumentary” and “potential fan film”? I mean, I was excited for the project, but I feel like their making Paramount/CBS narrow down their copyright is only going to hurt the whole fan film concept. And I don’t think they’re going to convince a judge that the Klingon language is an “idea” and can’t be copyrighted and that they can use these minor Star Trek characters because they’re not famous enough to automatically have copyright (even though if a writer in the new official series wanted to use an older character they would have to pay the creator of that character, IIRC).

Unfortunately that was a faaaaaaaaaaake.

suspiciouscoffee said:

Looks good. I don’t know how I hadn’t heard of it.

Any news on a Damage Control show since I brought it up?

Is that the DC “The Office” thing where everyone works at an insurance agency in a world of supers? That sounded odd.

FanFiltration said:

It’s very disappointing that Adrianne Palicki and Nick Blood have left “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”, as their characters were the main reason I enjoyed the show.

But they’re getting their own show, which is even better?

Cap 1 is the only period piece film, and I enjoy it immensely.

My, and I think Frink’s, point is that this entire thread is predicated on the fact that a pirated copy of the movie MAY or MAY NOT have one less beep than the theatrical version. This entire thread is premature.

oojason said:

I can’t hear any beep noises from BB-8 in the scene you describe mate - on the cam version or the bluray (31m, 48s). That’s not to say they are not there - but just I can’t hear any…

BB-8 does however makes beep noises in the scene you describe on the official teaser trailer, here:-

Or that.
