4K restoration on Star Wars
Time

crissrudd4554 said:

Slightly off topic but if the National Film Registry included Star Wars among its selected films in 1989, why did Lucasfilm offer the SE print 8 years after the fact??? Was Lucas intending to change the film(s) as early as '89 and wouldn’t submit a print until the film was ‘finished’???

Seeing as how the Library itself had two copies already and the National Film Registry is essentially just another bureaucratic wing of the Library of Congress, it probably wasn’t much of a priority. Who knows really? I’d be curious to see how many films on the registry don’t have prints submitted.

My Empire Blu-Ray disc has Chewie on it.

Where are you from? I think the non-US discs where more exciting. Why they chose such a boring design for us Americans, and why it was even deemed necessary to be different, is beyond me.

But didn’t you have a book-type packaging? My EU version has picture discs, but a regular “boring” BD packaging

We did. The packaging for the compete saga’s original pressing was quite nice.

Nothing encapsulates the magic of Star Wars better than a picture of Jake Lloyd.

Is anyone else totally apathetic regarding the new Star Wars movies?

There are definitely people here who feel that way about TFA, and to a (much?) lesser degree RO.

I’ve noticed two perspectives online, the main one being that there has never been a greater time to be alive because of these Star Wars sequels, and the other (smaller one) being that they are a heretical attack on the “”""“SAGA”"""". I have no opinion about any of it. I guess I was disappointed at first when I saw TFA, but I lost any real feelings towards it not long after.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support

Darthrush, from what I’ve gathered throughout the history of your posts regarding your religion, you are very clearly uncomfortable with it and don’t belong there. I don’t think you should keep participating. I don’t really have any advice because I understand the difficulty of your situation, especially given the Mormon church’s tendency to ostracize people who leave.

I really think for safety reasons you should not wear any headphones while operating a bicycle.

This has been a Darth Id Safety Tip.™ “Govern yourself accordingly.” ™

Then the same should apply for driving a car.

It does.

I don’t see any difference between listening to music loud on your stereo vs headphones. If you have them loud enough both methods are going to be potentially dangerous.

Although I would probably cry if I broke my 300 dollar audio technica record player while riding a bicycle.

I’m still in shock but in a few days I’ll probably be laying in bed and it’ll hit me. I’m lucky the M50X is only 170 bucks but that’s still a lot of coin to a guy like me.

Even really loud stereos don’t block out exterior noise to the extent that headphones do.

Yeah son, listen to your uncle.

Is the idea that you shouldn’t wear headphones in the car an old person thing? I thought it was common knowledge.

Lecturing people is an old person thing. 😉

Dammit, I’m already acting old. I’m only in my late 70s.

Three days prior to inauguration but relevant and disconcerting.

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2017/01/19/never-seen-anything-gaping-holes-trumps-foreign-policy-team

Many aspects of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition have been described as disorganized (at best), but his administration’s approach to foreign policy “appears” particularly rudderless, raising concerns among domestic experts and international allies alike.

The defining part of the article is the quoted word above … “appears”, and that is an opinion, not fact. LOL

ok, i can respect your point that you should work to make things better (from your previous post, not this one). but what i don’t respect is your constant brushing aside of every piece of information as being opinion, and not fact. the opinion of the matter is, that almost all information that is out there is not fact. if you can’t deal with finding the shadow of the facts by sifting through and weighing opinions, then I don’t know… ? i don’t know.

When the entire opinion is presented as fact, especially from someone that is supposed to be intelligent, I don’t know what to tell you. Opinions are like elbows, we all have them, it just doesn’t make them fact. I am totally okay with people not liking the guy, but we are supposed to be debating, not using our emotions to say that we are right and the rest of you are wrong. It’s wasted breath really.

And this is exactly the tripe I’m talking about.

And that is your opinion which you have a right to, as do I, and mine was opinion as well. You need to try harder because copying people just to try and be funny or something really isn’t your forte.

^ backdoor insult?

Let it go.

JEDIT: Oh god, it looks like more misinformation taken from Fox News. This is why Alex Jones is infinitely more dangerous than that other dude. Trump listens to Alex Jones.

Good point on Trump listening to him. I hadn’t really considered that, but I stand by Stefan Molyneux being a much more despicable and dangerous ideologue.

Stefan Molyneux has a worse ideology than Alex Jones and isn’t much less popular.

Well I’ve never heard of him, so I don’t know about the latter, but on the former, I just looked him up and apparently he blames women (mothers specifically) for all of societies problems, so I’d being willing to hear arguments as to how he’s worse.

That’s about right, and add to that that he believes that his followers should cut off all interaction with family and friends who believe in simple things like paying taxes, because he believes that thinking people should pay their taxes is the equivalent of wanting someone to be shot (no joke). He’s way worse.

The Wind Waker HD should be arriving any day now. I never got to play much of it on the GC, so I’m excited to finally play what seems to be a great game.
It’ll also be the last of the major LOZ titles for me to play through before BotW’s release.

The Wind Waker was really good. Wasn’t it released in HD years ago though?

Yeah, 2013. I’m just getting to it.

Oh, ok. For some reason I thought you meant that you were waiting for it to come out or something. I don’t know why I read it that way since it’s pretty clear what you meant.
