Last movie seen
Time

We watched Gattaca at uni yesterday. I was the only one in my class that had seen it before (but I am a bit more film savvy than my fellow students, who are morons.)

 

Man, I love this movie. I must've seen it over a gazillion times.

 

When we talked about the film afterwards, I was the only one to point out that practically all the shots were of the actors eye levels, whilst the other students just had a dumb look on their faces.

You can tell some of the students at uni are dumb when I seem to be the smartest one in the room.

But yeah enough bitching, Gattaca's awesome.

And you know what, damn it all, throw Padme in there to.

Poor girl either dies of a "broken heart" or (what will be in my edit) doesn't die on-screen. And then she gets a small reference in the final film?? Poo-poo. Have her next to Anakin. Maybe make her look a little bit older, I dunno. It feels wrong, but it also feels very right.

I agree! Everyone should be there!

I think there were some Muppets in Jedi, right?

Needs more Nuked fridge and Howard the Duck

i have this laserdisc also, but have not ripped it either..

 

Do you have a DVD recorder by chance? I'd really love to get my hands on a rip of the Japanese laserdisc, and finding someone with it is hard enough :P
If you have one, would you be willing to record it for me? (If you use 1-hour mode you could do one side per disc and it would be excellent quality)



yes,
i have a capture card, and dvd-burner,
i'm still messing around with capturing video from all the OT laserdiscs
right now..

i'll keep you posted on when i can get to this....

Today was 33rd Anniversary of Holiday Special
Time

I had to babysit a friend 's sons a while back. They're huge Wars fans and kept on irritatingly saying how wonderful George is, even when I pointed out that they had fallen asleep during most of the prequels several times.

 

So, when I babysat them, I brought round a dvd of the holiday special and showed it to them. It was interesting to see the look of excitement on their faces (from first seeing Han and Chewie) quickly disipate into extreme horror when the show went on.

Doctor Who

I also like the idea of you changing it in your sig to discombobulate Fink. Earlier this year when Doctor Who related discussion was finding its way into several threads and everyone was changing their avatar to some incarnation of the Doctor or another, Fink kept trying to remind everyone that this was a Star Wars forum. That was fun. If you do change your sig pic to the screwdriver, I think we should plan another mass Who'ing of our avatars...

Awesome! Just don't tell him anyone....

 

Shhh!!!
