With the day off, I had some fun taking apart the Starkiller Infiltration and putting it back together (somewhat).

I intentionally didn’t spend a great deal of time finessing the scenes or transitions, so it’s a very rough idea. Kylo begins the interrogation the same place as in the Theatrical, but it then transitions to Hux and the Starkiller charging, then the Resistance briefing, and then finally back to the interrogation to imply that it has been going on for quite a while (it definitely needs an establishing shot though). I would like to have some indication in this scene that implies that Rey’s connection to Han is what defeats Kylo, which is what Snoke picks up on later.

Really liked your reworking of the interrogation scenes - you can really feel the ebb and flow of information, Rey’s resistance and then her own probing of Kylo when he more forcefully tries to exert the info he wants. Nice execution in amongst the Falcon’s approach, and Han & Co entering the base.

You’re doing great - loving the explanations and reasoning as to your changes in your videos (both informative and helpful to anyone out there thinking about undertaking their own project too).

Nicely done, and also with the changes to the order at the end.

I think it’s more of a new ‘this machine kills Breen fascists’ experimental type phaser - with smooth free jazz accompaniment for closing scenes after the villain has been defeated each week… 😃
 

Am looking forward to the new season of The Orville in a couple of weeks - should be intriguing to see how it approaches that awkward 2nd album season.

Quality episode that for me - and also another one addressing somewhat awkward and sensitive historical events with respect and care they deserve - from the POV of the people in everyday life who would just start to be affected by them.

And hopefully also serve as an introduction to the subject of Partition too - for those who may beinterested.

Loved the music at the end too (and also the cinematography throughout).

^ 'Tis indeed a good point that.

 

 

Hard to believe this advert for Iceland Food Stores was banned in the UK as ‘the advert wasn’t approved by advertising regulators as it was seen to be in support of a political issue.’…

'You won’t see our Christmas advert on TV this year, because it was banned. But we want to share Rang-tan’s story with you…

^ Not a big fan of Christmas tv adverts anyway - yet banning that above seems utterly ridiculous.

Glad you enjoyed those links. I feel they help show the problem with Climate Change: There are large powers invested in ignoring it, and there’s only so much we as individuals can do to stop it without radical change.

Fully agree, I hope that at the personal and local levels there is enough happening (and publicity and awareness) to help make that pressure count on the larger powers - if not now, then for the next generation - or hopefully sooner.

An OT-era Rebel Spy tv series? I’m intrigued and probably more interested in that than The Mandalorian (though will give both a go 😃)

Looking forward to finding out who’ll be writing and helming the show (c’mon Ron D. Moore…) and more details - hopefully a more pragmatic ‘greyer’ view and feel of the world a la Rogue One.

‘Astronomers find pairs of black holes at the centers of merging galaxies’…

For the first time, a team of astronomers has observed several pairs of galaxies in the final stages of merging together into single, larger galaxies. Peering through thick walls of gas and dust surrounding the merging galaxies’ messy cores, the research team captured pairs of supermassive black holes—each of which once occupied the center of one of the two original smaller galaxies—drawing closer together before they coalescence into one giant black hole.

^ so cool, fascinating and hopefully a lot more intriguing images to come (20 years of Hubble images 😃)

Flash Gordon (1980) - not a Halloween or even a horror film (in that sense 😉) though a good enjoyable romp all the same.

One of my favorite movies. I never get tired of it. The soundtrack alone makes it worth a watch.

I failed miserably at squeezing in all the movies I wanted to watch by Halloween, so I extended my deadline to this weekend.

The soundtrack is great - a real stomping release really in tune with the film! Though every time I listen to it (or hear a track from it) - I can’t help but want to put the film on and give the whole thing a re-watch 😃

Am hoping they’ll do something special for the 40th anniversary for 2020 - maybe a nice and new 4K transfer, compiling all the commentaries and bonuses from the differing releases so far into one new sweet deluxe boxset, including the soundtrack separately or something similar…

Gonna go give Ted a re-watch 😃

The Blu-ray came out when Universal was still butchering masters with DNR, and while it’s not the worst release I’ve seen, it’s scrubbed enough that it doesn’t look like film. A 4K remaster would be a day one buy for me, especially if it got a sweet box set like you guys in the UK always seem to get (I import a lot of UK releases for that reason).

Aye, we’re pretty lucky in general re the deluxe / ‘something different’ box sets over here - the French are getting this pretty cool looking 40th Anniversary set for ‘Zombie’ - Romero’s Dawn Of The Dead soon (hopefully there’ll be a UK/English language version too):-

and the new Carpenter 4K ‘Collectors’ releases, posted earlier in the thread, look superb too (am looking forward to seeing some reviews for them).
