Just saw the pilot of that new Batman television series and it's really bad, like Angel but without the vampires or The Equalizer without Eddy Triple Wood bad.

He doesn't even have an batcape or anything and the villains all have normal faces and why is called Person Of Interest?

I dunno.

 

More importantly, what's with Jesus working for the CIA on this show???

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

I just thought of something...

 

In Episode 2, when Obi-wan MacDonald is on Kamino, he could instead break into Jango/Boba/Fabio/Whatever Fett's room and find some documents or something. He turns to leave but finds Fett there. Music, tension. etc. Obi-wan awkwardly manages to leave or something.

 

Probably not possible without re-filming some stuff, but whatever, Just an idea...

It has been QUITE a while since I last posted here - before the 2004 DVDs were out. Not sure if anyone from my time is still around. Just posting to see if I still had access. See ya!


There's actually QUITE a few, like DAYV, Warbler, Nanner, Jay, Gaffer, and a few other I can't think of because I've been around for about a year.

I have seen your posts from old threads though, so most of us already know who you are. I really hope you can stick around, and get used to some of the newer people here!
Don't listen to Zig, he could barely write last time you were here.

Well, to be fair, he had only just been born...

I actually like the second video, somehow seeing Twi'lek chicks and princess Leia in golden bikini dance in Jabba's palace is far less embarasing than having Han dancing in the carbon freezing chamber. And they have the original Max Rebo band!!! Sy even looks like the original puppet, not the CG version!!! And the graphics are good, maybe they could use them as a basis for a proper new STAR WARS Trilogy game :-)

SUPER STAR WARS! SPECIAL EDITION!

Caligula (1979)

 

O_o

 

Errrr..... ummmmm..... It was pretty cool....



What's with the infamy behind this movie, anyway? I'm too lazy to find out the reason why for myself, so could someone please tell me?



 


It has hardcore sex in it.


You mean you see the thingy go in the hoohah, with all the moving and the wetness and the hey, hey, hey, it blinds me?

 

That.

 

 

And more....

In The Phantom Menace, Padme says "our fate is in your hands" when asking Boss Nass for help.

But it may be difficult to use that 'hand'.

And the way I described might be more believable, too.

Or Duke Dooku could chop off both of Anakin's hands, so he has two robot hands.

The Prequels as Envisioned by the (Pre-PT) Expanded Universe

Argh! Lucas you stupid head, you ruined it.

 

What would've been cool if the jedi all wore armour similar to Darth Vader's armour.

 

Seeing something like this makes it feel like GL pulled his punches. This would have been very cool and effective visual. Luke's RToJ attire would have harkened back to the classic Jedi look.

I've been having a feeling that the PT should have had somewhat radical color grading. Not the very old technicolor look, but it suggests what I have in mind. Someone made a podrace mockup as if created in the 70s, it was just so much better! It couldn't be so extreme to be distracting and gimmicky, but I think it could be effective to embrace the essence of a prequel, as historical, to give it that feel.

Exactly.

I wrote somewhere on here a while ago about having the aesthetics of each of the prequels have a certain nostalgic-y retro-ness.

For instance, Episode 1 would look like it was made in the 1940s. Everything would be stylised to look like the film was made and 'set' in the 40s. Hair, clothes, technology i.e. buttons and switches. Chunky Computers using valves, lighting.) but the special effects would be done with models, a la the original films.

The technology in the prequels be clunky-er and cruder than the original films, Robots like R2 wouldn't appear until perhaps the third film or something.

Episode 2 and 3 would look like they were made in the 50s and 60s.
