My point was that he seemed more hung up on the fact that a remix was included instead of the original mono when almost all older films today are not screened with their original mono tracks and almost nobody (including on this forum) notices or cares. It looked like selective purist stuff which tends to irritate me.
I didn’t know that. I’ve never seen it.
I had a really weird experience a couple nights ago where my whole body went numb and I couldn’t work my arms well because they felt strange and shook. It was sparked by going out to run errands, which I hate doing. So I chose a time to leave the house when few people would be out but to my dismay I arrive at the store and found it full of stupid, obnoxious, and loud people that seemed have made it their life goal to stand in my way and be annoying. I already really hated being near and interacting with most people but lately the sight of and close proximity to other people has been making me physically sick. I’m sure this isn’t normal, but I get that sharing this planet with other people is just something that I have to do so it’s frustrating that it affects me so strongly.
Yeah maybe.
Each day Return of the Jedi becomes worse and worse of a movie in my mind. Even just a few months ago, my opinion of the movie was much more generous. And it makes me quite sad since I used to love it as a kid.
The sister reveal is definitely one of those things that stands out as a glaring issue but now even what used to be the good things about Return of the Jedi for me have turned into weaknesses. I used to think the stuff with Luke, the Emperor, and Vader was the saving grace of this movie but now all of it just feels cheap, contrived, and lazy. With the emperor saying things like “You, like your father, are now mine.”, or Vader saying “It is useless to resist”. They turned the dark side into some sort of dark force that tempts you and takes control of you. I kind of miss the days when the dark side was simply another philosophy by which force users would follow. When Luke made his decision in Empire Strikes Back to not join Vader, it actually seemed like a hard decision when I was a kid. Vader was his father, they could technically beat the Emperor together, and then rule the galaxy together. It actually seemed like a viable option and Luke was still able to make the right choice. In Return of the Jedi, the Emperor couldn’t have done a worse job of trying to convince Luke to join him. Why is it that because Luke loses his cool for a few moments, would maybe turn him to the dark side. For gods sake, even when he refuses to kill Vader and throws his light saber away it is starting to feel cheap and contrived.
It’s all just probably my mind becoming more and more cynical in thinking but oh well. RIP Return of the Jedi.
Are you sure you’re not a sock of mine?
You actually were the one who made me think of these issues in Return of the Jedi. It just makes me sad cause I now feel that what I considered the best is now along with the other bad things about Return of the Jedi.
I am in the same boat. I find Jedi almost unwatchable, not because of the siblings thing but because all of it aside from Luke’s confrontation with the Emperor and Vader is just so unbelievably boring.
What is wrong with the sound track it has now?
It’s a remix. There’s no excuse for the mono track not being on the damn disc.
I agree that it would be nice to include the original mono track on the disc, but this is the kind of purism that strikes me as being purist for the sake of being purist. Films have remixed soundtracks in order for the best audio quality possible. It’s not even something new either. Unless there are obnoxious changes to dialogue and sound effects, then I don’t get why this is something to be outraged about.
Anti-depressants can have dramatic side effects.
That’s the least creepy and obnoxious thing he’s said. If you want to be really disturbed then see if you can find his movie review of Zootopia from a while back in the Last Film thread. It’s sickening.
Ironically, if military-grade weapons were banned then we’d have more freedom in the sense that we wouldn’t need such a heavily armed police force or such obnoxious security.
That reminds me of Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever 😦
FTFAC
FTFAC… Fuck That, Fuck Air Conditioning?
I always thought FTFY stood for Fuck That, Fuck You.
That reminds me of Full Moon Fever 😦
I’d probably just go to sleep. Maybe eat a giant meal earlier if I was hungry.
No, but I know there are a lot of existing places other than the place that you are in.
Banning shitty little pistols and rifles is irrelevant to mass shootings.
I’m sick and I’m tired of being broke and being useless and being alone. I want things to change – I want to move out, I want to get a job, I want to meet a lovely, vivacious, spiritual lady who will complete me – but there’s no one in my life to help me and I don’t know how to help myself. I feel trapped, isolated, and empty.
I’m feeling this a lot lately. Though I am not in the exact same situation, life has felt incredibly empty lately, and I’m stuck on a path I can’t get off, with no opportunities to better myself.
There are a lot of opportunities.
I remember the wedding now that I’ve been reminded but I don’t remember Christopher Lee mentioning Sidious at all.
Actually they are literally married in that film. They had a ceremony at the end of AOTC.
I hate myself for knowing this.
I completely forgot about that.
Christopher Columbus
That hack could set out to direct a film in India and end up filming it in the Caribbean Isles.
Because those require no investment. Restoring the films would be expensive and to release them two and half years before they get a much bigger cut would be an idiotic business decision.
I’d actually blame the ignorance on Puerto Rican citizenship on American education. I don’t remember ever being told in school that Puerto Ricans are citizens.
Darth Id was banned for talking about how hilarious he thought it was that that senator got shot at the baseball game a while back and how he bet TV’s Frink would do something like that.
I’m curious to see how that avatar would look if he were actually banned, or at the very least a band member.
Is Even Piell the Mad TV version of Key & Peele?
ROTS has one and only one good sequence: the one where everyone shuts up and all you hear is the music as Anakin and Padme get all weepy. That’s it. That’s all. The rest of ROTS takes the franchise out back, puts a bullet in its head, and leaves it for dead.
Even this part is a dud because they’re thinking back to the romance they had in AOTC…
Eh, it’s an effective scene nonetheless. They are basically married for all intents and purposes in that film so it’s hardly a callback.
The statement is only a paragraph short of being even longer than Stephen King’s It.
You can’t compare the length of a forum post to a movie…they’re different mediums entirely!
You sound like a true millennial.
