Would rate higher if it had a ‘woof woof woof’ from Oddball in Kelly’s Heroes, and possibly a ‘Gordon’s Alive!’ from Flash Gordon.

Thank you. If desired, I can make a moderator version and remove mine and send it to the relevant authorities. Though I did like having my own little spoof.

Keep your cool sig for now mate - I’ll speak with the other mods and see what they think too.

(and I’ve already done a riff on your top sig for us mods 😉 😃 - should we all decide to use it, of course)

Edit: it seems us mods are in accord - and we like it very much - for that - many thanks 😄
 

and no mate - thank YOU.

Hopefully the members on here can differentiate between the word ‘moderator’ and ‘member’.

Plus, Handman’s sig is a lot cooler than ours 😦 Doh! 😃
 

Personally, I think Handman should keep his signature - it’s on me that we didn’t ask other members to not riff on the signature of moderators before.
 

So…

We ask no other members have a signature that resembles that of the moderators - to try and allay any potential confusion.

(and Handman keeps his sig)

Hard Times (rough mix), by The Last Internationale - a welcome free download for those pre-ordering their forthcoming album; ‘Soul On Fire’.

Cracking vocals and guitar work 😃

Beautifully done sig, Handman - really nice work 😃

Re your post… (and apologies if you’ve heard this before…)

Have you considered volunteering in the community - doing a few hours in a charity store, or for a project. Are you interested in team sport or going to gym etc? Perhaps a chess or games club? Even going to a local library and seeing what’s going on in the community etc?

These may help you focus on something positive - and also increase your chances of meeting people - hopefully some like-minded people.

I know it’s easy to say the above on an internet board, especially as I don’t know your circumstances… though having that something new to look forward to - to contribute - can be quite rewarding - and also opens up a possibility of making new acquaintances or friends as well.
 

I wish you good fortune for your life still to come… 😃

What happens if you put it back in the PC and try to play it on there via Leawo player?

Good call .Val

The Leawo Blu-ray Player is free, easy to use and does it’s job very well - plus, it’s available for both mac and windows computers. It can be downloaded from:-

and likely a fair few other places too.

Why was the Ranking the Star Wars Films thread locked over the behavior of only one person who has trolled consistently over the years? I was having a ROTS vs. TFA/R1 discussion and now I forgot what I was going to type in response to Frink and the other guy I was talking to.

The Ranking thread is now unlocked - as stated in that thread it was only a temporary measure.

^ Not helping, Frink.

imperialscum has been given a cool-off temp-ban - should he choose to return when the ban is lifted is up to him.

As has been posted in the ‘Ranking the Star Wars films’ thread - the name calling stops now.

If you suspect someone of trolling please report it to a moderator - thank you.

You have been asked to explain your reasons - if you choose not to, or don’t see the point in doing so, then that is on you - do not deflect that onto others.

Sorry, this part you added (edited in) afterwards and was not included in my previous reply.

Anyway, you were the first one asking for explanation. Before you, dahmage and TV’s Frink were just being hostile and rude (pretty sure they broke at least two forum rules).

So I will restate my reasons for you. I think TFA hardly has a storyline. It is basically just a collection of elements they wanted to rehash plus some random elements that have nothing to do with what was supposed to be the main plot objective of the film (that is finding Luke). Just one of many examples: death star is completely irrelevant to the plot objective.

You have been asked by me in other threads to explain your opinions more fully - give reasons as to why you believe that ‘TFA is shit’ - not just state it - repeatedly…

edit: (inserted link) -http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1112521:-

'If you are here to bait or antangonise fellow forum members for having an a different opinion of a movie than yourself - an opinion on which you repeatedly try to declare as some sort of fact - then I suggest you, and anyone of the same mindset, stop.

Having a differing opinion, explaining why, talking about it, and exchanging views is great and to be encouraged - what you seem to repeatedly be doing here is far-removed from this.

You’re much better than that - please start posting like it.’
 
&

‘I strongly suggest you take the time to explain why your views are what they are - as Mala, John Doom and others of this community of diverse opinions do.’

The thread was temporarily locked to give posters a chance to cool down, and also for me to sift through the posts without more being added whilst doing so. The thread has now been unlocked.

imperialscum - this repeated ‘TFA is shit’ type of posting without explanation is trolling, baiting and inflammatory - and also serves to lower the quality of the site.

Your ‘excuse’ that you ‘…do not see the point of explaining the same reasons to the people who are already familiar with them whenever I want to repeat my opinion…’ does not wash - especially after you have already been asked to explain your opinion with reasons.
 

That you deflect your actions onto others is not cool.

That you give an ‘excuse’ that you ‘haven’t broken no rules’ is not cool - you are trolling - and despite being asked to stop this trolling you continue to do so.

Enjoy some time away from the site in the form of a cool-off temp-ban; I hope you take the time away to re-think the content of your posts, and your attitude to the other posters, and to this site overall.

To everyone else - knock it off with the name calling - whether it has taken place in this thread or other threads on this site.

If you suspect someone is trolling please report it to a moderator - thank you.

I was only expressing my opinion, for which I explained the underlying reasons several times in the past. I do not see the point of explaining the same reasons to the people who are already familiar with them whenever I want to repeat my opinion. Especially since whenever I do restate my reasons behind my opinion I get these kind of responses:
http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1056497

If you don’t see the point of explaining (or repeating) your reasons as to your opinions then I suggest you keep those opinions (which you certainly don’t mind repeating) off this site.

You have been asked to explain your reasons - if you choose not to, or don’t see the point in doing so, then that is on you - do not deflect that onto others.

imperialscum said:

TFA was pure shit. So one can reasonably say that just about anything is better than TFA.

You’re on thin ice, my friend.
 

As previously stated to you - and others…
 

'If you are here to bait or antangonise fellow forum members for having an a different opinion of a movie than yourself - an opinion on which you repeatedly try to declare as some sort of fact - then I suggest you, and anyone of the same mindset, stop.

I strongly suggest you take the time to explain why your views are what they are - as Mala, John Doom and others of this community of diverse opinons do.

I’m not going to warn you again.

Very cool logo Dazman - nice work, and very much with a Star Wars vibe 😃

Thanks oojason! Can’t take the full credit for the design though, it’s a mod from one of the logos in the add campaign. I just don’t understand why they didn’t use one of those as they are better than the final one.

Well, all I can say is… your insight serves you well…

(hard to go wrong with that classic yellow colour, a decent Star Wars vibe and feel on the font and look…

This is a very interesting podcast taking a deep dive into the score. I thought I’d posted it already, but damn if I can find it. Anyway, very interesting stuff. I suspect I wasn’t the only one who felt\heard the cues back to the 1977 masterpiece of Williams, which I wore out the summer of 77 (and for all the years since). We’ve all heard the 77 score thousands of times probably, so I enjoy hearing analysis of the score. It’s an hour long, with the music examples starting around 15 minutes in.

http://www.rebelforceradio.com/shows/2016/12/21/star-wars-oxygen-vol-38-rogue-one-part-1

Just got around to listening to that - some interesting views on the score and the film itself - with a fair few good points re the limited time Michael Giacchino had to come up with the whole thing, and also his inspirations and takes from previous themes (especially '77 Star Wars, cough… Obi Wan in the hut, et al 😃) as well as contributing his own.

Cool stuff on the voice work too!

Really enjoyed it - cheers mate 😃

Chris - I think you setting the image to ‘fit the page’ may have caused the sizing issue (or could be an issue if Staples’ printer was set to this setting too?)

If the printer has a ‘scale setting’ feature (not all do) - make sure it is set to ‘off’ or at 100%.

I usually set the margins on images that I print to 0.5cm on all sides just be sure too 😃 (when I used to print covers I copy the image to MS Word and do a black & white draft quality print - just as a test print to ensure I it correctly sized)

If you have any independent printers or copy shops near you that do this kind of service I’d recommend you try them - in general, I find the people at independent print places will likely have more knowledge / experience than those at Staples.
 

Good luck with it mate - and let us know how you get on 😃

The myth that the Tories are the party of sensible finances is blown to pieces in a Tory newspaper of all places : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/10/15/britains-missing-billions-revised-figures-reveal-uk-490bn-poorer/

A surprising article that from The Telegraph - one of the proponents, along with the right-wing tabloids, that perpetuated the myth - the lie - that the Tories were to be trusted with the finances of the country…

The tide is turning - and even their own supporters acknowledge they can’t keep on deflecting the blame (incorrectly) onto the last Labour Govt of 7 years ago now.

They have nowhere to go - no-one else to blame, no-one to point the finger at - no-one but themselves.

May should really call another election - under her not-so ‘strong and stable’ leadership - if she truly believes what she had done, and is doing, is the best the UK can hope for.
