     Speaking of bonus discs...

     I watched the THX 1138 SE recently. Outstanding restoration and enhancement.

     I'd like to see Amgraf and THX included in an SW saga set!

     I suppose that would create problems with the different studios and lost profit on the single sales.

     OTOH, it would make the saga sets even more appealing and provide vastly greater distribution and awareness for those two great films.

I think I'm going to go out and get drunk now. ;)

Agreed, Lucas destroyed Thx 1138 the same way he did star wars.  CGi lizards and monkeys, wtf.

You forgot the masturbation machine in THX's apartment...

Aw! Ew! Ew! Ew! You made me remember that again!! Fuck!

Introducing... Pennsylvania Jones!

Yes, he writes scripts.

And no, Secret of Nimh 2 looks like Citizen Kane in comparison.

Hey! I can answer my own questions, thank you!

Pennsylvania Jones said:

First, are you a good scriptwriter? 

Well, I'm not terrible.

 

Second, do you think Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue is worse than the Prequel Trilogy?

Not by a long shot! It may be an awful film but it's got Eric Idle singing about being evil which is a plus. :)

 

Come to think of it... Do you think the prequels would've been better films if they had musical numbers in? Hmmm...

No, I think the Prequel Trilogy would be worse with musical numbers.  Especially of the kind featured in Timmy to the Rescue.

Second, the reason I asked if you wrote scripts (and indeed, one of the reasons I joined this site) is because I want to make a story for a Secret of NIMH 3.  In it, Timmy to the Rescue was merely a dream.  Timmy had it while he was delirious from pneumonia in the first film.  It will focus on a Mrs. Brisby who's as young as she was in the first film (This will be set no more than a year after the original NIMH).  It will also include things from the second and third Rats of NIMH books, like Isabella, Racso, Christopher, etc.  Martin is NOT going to be evil; in fact, in the books it states he managed to get a girlfriend named Breta.

Interested?  I'm going to start a thread in Scriptwriting if you want to help me write it.

Sounds intriguing...

The pledge thread was silly (as were the anti-Frink threads earlier).

If a large number of people post stuff against your chosen idiom it should give you pause for thought.

Weigh up if they have a point and if you genuinely think they haven't carry on regardless and see how long you last.

I welcome a bit more moderation in this paddock.

Self moderation and official moderation.

As someone who frequently posts a load of rubbish, often for failed dramatic effect it's helpful to get a cup of cold water in the face once in a while.

Tee hee hee...

Supergirl

5 out of 10

Why hasn't this been fan-edited yet? I can think of a number of things that could improve it and tie it into the chris reeve films a bit more.

Such as...

- Tying in the destruction of Krypton with the foundation of Argo City.

- Reduce the romantic subplot.- Tie in some footage from the other films, in particular footage with Marc McClure, as he already appears in this movie.

- Replace the title sequence with a more Superman-esque titles. Except in yellow instead of Blue.

I heard mentioned in this thread that the deleted scenes could be in the same kind of letterboxed SD as the 2006 GOUT. In the trailers for the deleted scenes, however, they appear to be in anamorphic...

Thoughts?

Well, it's not letterboxed at least. Will it be HD? No one knows.

The Shadow knows...

Yes.  You may not have heard, but John Tesh is recording a new commentary for the set.

John tesh played a klingon

In Star Wars?

 

Fascinating.

Yep!

 

The scene in which he was in was cut though. The scene will be on the blu-ray, with fixed colars and Dolby sound.

 

Here is a screeny from the scene in which he and Boba Fett play hockey.
