May magazines with ESB content are hitting the shelves:

(wonder if for exclusive rights to first publication of these pictures is why the Making of Book got pushed back...)

E'cha wawah.  that's a tuffie.  Ended up in the same predicament, not sure how long the action sequences are, (find the opening ones completely engrossing so probably over estimated their length, but then with the last two quizes i underestimated the ending ones...) so I start shifting sections by 4-6 minutes, and the Emperor on DSII can't recall the transition wipe which might give me a clue of it's placement...  Thanks for these memory tests.

Baseball has marked the time

Progressing from sounds dirty to...  There's a great flub of Mike Kay (Yankee play by play guy) saying: "There's a hot shit up the middle."

One of my favorite baseball (colorful languaged NSFW) tirades - Earl Weaver:

What baseball blogs does everyone read?

Currently peruse: http://riveraveblues.com/ (Yanks) They tend towards more stat heavy discussion. (lots of weird fomulas)  and a guilty pleasure: http://www.sterlingstinks.blogspot.com/

Updated forum rules regarding fan edits and preservation efforts: a must-read for everyone.
Time
It's OK to ask for (purely voluntary) donations.
2. No profiting from any activities related to fan edits or preservation efforts

I find this confusing, but can live with the irreconcilable differences.

This is now taken care of

So now i've gotta ask what's the difference between that (not the DVD one, the video page) and youtube videos?

Here's the argument, besides the hosting company there is no difference between the videos. Like all videos on the web they are there to exists until a complaint is filled and the violation is determined or the user complies with the takedown Why this forum would want to have a stated rule which states no links to video yet it's been violated:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=WlB&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=site%3Aoriginaltrilogy.com+%22youtube.com%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Possibly up to 175 times is an example of the shifting standards. It's not just this forum, it's the whole net.

An example of this Net change surfaced with the Red Letter Media AotC edit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Lh2zUY-qI

That's AotC on youtube, been there since 2008.  But a company who had nothing to do with the video got it removed and reinstated.

This is beyond Irreconcilable Differences and into just plain Confusion Territory.

DEAR friend.

I AM PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE ROYAL FAMILY OF
ALDERAN. I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER, IN CONFIDENCE
CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION.

I HAVE CONTROL HERE OF THE SUM OF $25, MILLION IN IMPERIAL CREDITS
DEPOSITED WITH A SECURITY COMPANY FOR SAFEKEEPING ON TATOOINE. THE

THIS MONEY IN ANY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS LIKE MOISTURE FARMS AND STOCK IN
MULTI-PLANETARY COMPANIES AND OTHER SAFE LUCRATIVE INVESTMENT IN YOUR

THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS, AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND
CONFIDENCE WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU.

Childhood Misconceptions (aka The Trap Thread, but misconceptions still welcome)
Time

There's probably some EU significance to Jango's 'knee'ing Greedo's knee.  Ackbar must be stoned, check out the tri-fecta eyes....  And what time paradox could make Padme Mon Mothma's mother.  And Yoda's 'Allergy' medicine must be working overtime for him not to realize Palpatine is right behind him.  Is this the official transition to Adulthood Misconceptions?

STAR WARS TRILOGY The Very Special Edition (Feature length parody compilation) Version 1.0 available now.
Time
Make an edit of one of the films of the OT and add all the parodies of scenes from TV and the Internet in it's place! How about it, Lord__Vader? That could work

That's what Lord__Vader's done. Since i'm in the construction of a similar type project, i'm curious why Lord__Vader has chosen to at times do dialog replacement but other times include the original footage? The title implies that the joke (premise) is that it's basically the movies but with added humorous elements, the parodies. So you have the same problem the fan docs (DM, BE, RtJ) run into, the balance between sitting through the actual movie and getting to the yokes. (or in the case of the fan doc, the behind the scenes material) Were there things you found which you would have included but they would have taken the basic film line out of that basic film line. (for instance have you seen the fan film of the end of ANH with Han going off by himself?)  What kind of decisions kept material in or out of this Version 1.0?

AWESOME!  I didn't the know that the preview art of the cartoon version of "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" was that far into production.  Where is E1HOMEVIDEO, they've been keeping secrets from us.  We need "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" answers today not tomorrow.  (YESTERDAY would be ok though) [NEXT WEEK is unacceptable] {...why do all these troubles seem so far, far away  Almost as if they are in another galaxy.}  Maybe it's because I believe in "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!"

Not having seen "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" my guess is yes, PETER MAYHEW went back in time, and using one of his computer ghosts infiltrated this kids body (did I mention in TOMORROW's "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" the PETER MAYHEW character is a serial groper) and well the rest of the scene plays out as you see. ...BUT that's the LIE! actually the actress is an alien of the YESTERDAY SAINTS cult and they eat blood dripping babies.  They have this mind control thing that makes children's heads pop. (see TVFrink's pic, two posts back)  They can extend their jaws around the head popping child so that baby blood doesn't get everywhere, that would be messy.  But only on DVD!s which are coming soon will you see any of this exciting "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" action.  Rent (with an option to buy) and find out!

So if YESTERDAY WAS A LIE then are we sooner to 'YESTERDAY IS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" or are we farther away from "YESTERDAY IS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!"? Or was YESTERDAY's LIE about PETER MAYHEW or DVD? Could it be that this DVD! (which is coming soon) is the LIE and PETER MAYHEW was suppose to announce YESTERDAY that it was not a DVD but BluRay? Did YESTERDAY's BluRay Petition (which will soon be signed by PETER MAYHEW) feature a LIE? Inquiring 'YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" enthusiasts want to know.

Unintentional?


Are you insinuating that the "YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD!" mentions in this thread are INTENTIONAL? That's like saying CHEWBACCA "IS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY". But we all know "A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY IS" what the goal of this thread is about. If you want to "LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY IS A" day you could have done that. But TODAY?! Why would you, when you could be "featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY IS A LIE" perpetrated by those who don't believe in the UNINTENTIONAL conspiracy. Even "PETER MAYHEW coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY IS A LIE featuring" himself, understands that "MAYHEW coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY IS A LIE featuring PETER" themselves are unintentional UNINTENTIONAL CONSPIRACY enthusiasts. This thread is "coming soon to DVD! YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW" was just propaganda purpatrated by the INTENTIONAL unintentional UNINTENTIONAL CONSPIRACY enthusiasts. You know this, I know this but "soon to DVD! YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming" to a store near you. What format you ask? "to DVD! YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon" and soon it shall. Even though we have BluRay they still want a "DVD! YESTERDAY WAS A LIE featuring PETER MAYHEW coming soon to". To. To. I seems to have forgotten, can someone refresh my memory?
