The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **
Time

Seriously, we’re on a site that was created by adults (like me) who can’t handle the fact that their favourite childhood film had some cartoon dinosaurs inserted into it. We collect action figures and read comic books and discuss at great length just how white the snow on Hoth might have been on the original 1980 film stock. Yet someone writes a long dissertation about one of these movies and suddenly everyone’s like “gee, get a life dude”.

Isn’t this exactly the place for such a post?

I think some may read it when they have more time mate - though a few may be put off by the length, some may be put off by some issues addressed previously and not wanting to re-tread them, some will like or love it - and some may just be fatigued by it all (we are on the 245th page in one of several threads on here alone where TLJ is being discussed - let alone other sites, platforms and with mates & colleagues etc).

Fair play to Mjolnir Mark IV for such a post chronicling his issues with it - and presenting it very well.

So hard to tell when one doesn’t use emoticons.

Is it though? It was fairly obvious.

Aye, it is - hard to tell, that is.

It’s also not a great look for the site either when others see people on here calling each other assholes or telling each other to f*** off etc. Nor when it’s taken the wrong way - and it kicks off between members here - which is a part of the reason it was also asked to stop.

I suspect that if dahmage’s avatar gets any smaller, it’ll become dense enough to form a black hole which’ll suck the forum into it.

And I suspect that if he gets the color closer to the actual forum color, he’ll have it right. 😉

I’m going to ask Jay to change it - just after dahmage does get the colour right (or gives his avatar a transparent background) 😉

dealing with PAL vhs in the u.s.
Time

videohelp.com may be of some assistance mate - very useful forums and some knowledgeable people on there.

This thread may be of some use too - https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/306766-VHS-region-compatibility
 

Ebay does have some players that will play both PAL and NTSC - yet they are quite expensive; it may be cost effective to get hold of a standard PAL player instead?

I’d also keep an eye out for any PAL VHS players going up on ebay or any car boot / garage sales etc.
 

Good luck with it 😃
