*BUMP*
I've been reading all of the New 52 Aquaman comics. They're really good, especially the first issue. The art and colour palette is absolutely gorgeous, and the story is very strong. Aquaman is quickly becoming my new favourite hero.
Eat a banana. It could be due to a lack of potassium, it helps me when I get really bad cramps sometimes (I'm not a doctor though)

Saw the 10 minute clip [end of it is just the teaser trailer]. Looks like fun.
I saw it too. It looks really neat.

Aurebesh's first appearance was ROTJ in 83, right? And even then, it's not really the same aurebesh as the more modern codification.
Anyway, keep in mind that the same film has English letters on screens, particularly the Tractor Beam controls.
This always bugged the hell out of me. Aurebesh I mean. If they can speak english then they can damn well write english.

Why's frink stolen my Mirror Ric avatar?? Why would anyone take another person's avatar?? What a weirdo.

Maul's speeder could hurtle passed the landspeeder in Mos Eisley during A New Ridiculous and be in the Sarlacc party during Ridiculousness Of The Jedi.
And pass the space slug in Ridiculousness Strikes Back.
That doesn't make any sense...
Why would the speeder be in an Asteroid Belt??
That's just silly.
Maybe the speeder is on holiday in Bespin. It can wear a Hawaiian shirt and a pair of sunglasses.
I've got it!
The final shot of Revenge of the Ridiculousnessness (or whatever it's going to be called) has Maul's Darth Darth's speeder fly across the Tatooine desert, past Owen and Beru (who are looking up into the suns setting) and drives straight into the camera, Walking on Sunshine blaring over the end credits.
The speeder could be used in the other films somehow, amongst the trash on the Jawa's Crawler thingy, Walking on Sunshine now playing slower and lowerpitched. Don't know how it could fit into Empire or Jedi though.
Maybe instead of that frog thing that eats the other thing on the outside of Jabba's palace, the speeder lies there, finally finishing the song for one last time, before the batteries finally run out.

Aw, come on, I think 99.99% of us here grew up with a touch tone dial. Try to show a rotary dial to a youngster and they'll truly be stumped:

I grew up with a rotary phone, and I was a child in the nineties. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever (besides Action Man and Han Solo) I remember being really upset when it was replaced with a touch tone phone.
It's pretty sad to see that these kids are stumped by this piece of older tech.

"Pacific Rim" kind of reminds me of that old movie "Robot Jox".
I love that movie! It's got that guy who played that Vulcan Dude in Enterprise!!

You can tell it instantly sucks, it was "edited" (and I use the term veeeeerrry loosely) on windows movie maker.
I've recently started watching Community after my lady friend recommended it to me (She seen this show in Finland, but not John Hughes movies. Weird.)
I dig it.

So I could use some help on the DVD menu images. If you are interested in creating something fun for the DVD, please either post here or PM me. In return I will credit you on the DVD, like I did on TRM:
Yay! My Ric Olie action figure ad made it onto the menu!!! I'm so happy. I've got to do something really special in time for the third film.
Oo! Oo! As a Brit I want to ask a Brit a question.
How come Wales is so awesome?

Aw man. I just played Spec Ops: The Line. I thought it was going to be a generic Call of Duty, modern FPS war shooter but it's actually a total deconstruction of the 'Call of Duty' type game.
I highly recommend it, the story is fantastic. It basically takes a huge dump on 'Call of Duty' and other games like that and shows the real consequences to your actions as well as dealing with the psychological effects of war on the characters.
The characters start off as your typical 'Call of Duty' clichés and by the end are beaten down so much by the events that occur that they become fully rounded human characters.
There are no real bad guys in the game, although technically there are a bunch of 'rogue' american soldiers to shoot at but they're played sympatheticly. There isn't an Black and White morality.
It's kinda like a more serious version of 'Duty Calls' with a large chunks of 'Full Metal jacket' & 'Apocalypse Now' added in the mix.
I completed it just now, and it made me feel like utter crap. Definitely recommend people to play it.
P.S. It could do without the regenerative health system though (Although pretty much every modern game could do without regenerative health.)
This is pretty sweet.

There are two great PT Audio Plays available. "Labyrinth of Evil" and "Dark Lord". They contain all the original voices from the movies, as well as music and soundeffects. The only problem for 90% of the guys (and girls) here: it's in German. ;-)
The guy who did these is currently working on the "Thrawn-Trilogy". Three of four parts from "Heir To The Empire" are already available.So wait, did they get Hayden et al. to do the voices in German?
Actually, I found some more info. Okay, that makes sense. Ignore the previous.
What I meant was; did anyone in the fan community do a radio drama based on a rewrite of the prequels? Kind of specific, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is in the works somewhere.
My idea was to have a very young Anakin Skywalker be frozen in a hibernation pod on a pre-hyperspace ship for many decades, and to be revived by the Lars family and raised by them after the ship crashes on a distant world. His advanced form of hibernation sickness renders him blind, and he struggles to survive in the harsh Outer Rim Territories. Our story picks up when their planet is attacked by another planet in the same solar system, and a teenage Anakin must defy all odds to become a pilot despite his blindness, which lasts through the prequels.
How did he get frozen and why? Now we need prequels for our prequels and we're back where we started!

Yo dawg, I heard you liked prequels. So I put a prequel in your prequel so you can backstory while you backstory.

Do you mean something like this?
It's basically the same helmet design but the story board is really in your face with Vader in a rage (presumably at Captain 'Princess" Antilles).
If it doesn't turn up soon I will have to scan it as it must be in one of my books (presumably The Complete Vader).
You can see his eyes through the lenses which makes it somehow even more scary.
Ideal for a PT helmet especially if he is wearing it pre-burn.
I know what drawing you're talking about. I've no idea where to find it on the internet though.

As someone who didn't really watch much ST growing up (occasionally on tv), do the harder core ST fans dislike what Abrams is doing because he doesn't have as much of the more cerebral sci-fi discussion/commentary?
I think Abrams did a good job on the first one, and the alternate universe thing allows him to leave every preexisting thing in the myths intact. But his works seem less like ST movies and more like action movies set in the ST universe. And I don't mean that in a negative way.
Just some thoughts I had. Someone let me know if this seems reasonable or if I sound stupid.
I'm a pretty hardcore fan of Trek, and I loved the film. I can understand where a lot of other fans are coming from though when they say they don't like it...
Except for the ones that don't like it simply because it's popular with the general public. Those guys are dumb.
I dare you to watch this all the way to the end, I bet you won't make it...
