After taking a few weekends off for a 1960s Batman TV show marathon and 1966 film to honor Adam West after his passing, my Summer of Rogue is now back on. As of Sunday, it can now buy alcohol legally. 😉

You’ve been watching Rogue One since 1996?!

That is one great 80’s video cover 😃

I love these type of retro covers…

It’s not often that I listen to every recording released by a person, especially a fairly new artist. I was introduced to Agnes Obel a little while back by a friend, and I fell in love with the music, but music often has a way of hitting you differently depending on your mood. Well, I was in the right mood, and I got that wonderful click of inspiration. I wanted to play, I wanted to sing. I find myself humming these songs. I find myself transported by these songs. It’s exciting, and yes…I listened to every album this woman has released, and I want more.

I recommend any of you to listen to random tracks from Youtube, and see what you think. It’s not something where I can chose a song I think best defines her work, I think any will do.

Agnes Obel - Philharmonics

Agnes Obel - Aventine

Agnes Obel - Citizen of Glass

Nice one ESF - just spent an afternoon listening to Agnes in the background whilst at work on the pc (a youtube mix of her stuff so far) - some decent tunes and interesting delivery - will be listening to her bit more in the future. Many thanks for recommendation/info 😃

Kind of a silly lawsuit, but imagine if somebody sued over the SE’s being passed off as the originals? 😉

😃 Good luck the the person who ordered the 007 boxset with ‘all’ the James Bond films in - companies should be more careful with the words described to sell their product to the public.

They do actually have the list of films in the box that are included… The whole lawsuit is completely just being stupid.

Yet, it clearly states that:-

'Product Description

Collectible box set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-ray disc in one complete offering for the first time.

Collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace and more than 130 hours of bonus features including never-before-seen content from the Bond archives, and more.’

So ‘all’ means not ‘all’ - because there is a long list of films and bonus content afterwards? - which after seeing ‘all’ you probably wouldn’t read through that list as you’re already safe in the knowledge that you’re going to receive all the James Bond films in this boxset…

I think the lawsuit is quite petty - though if it results in companies have to be more accurate and careful in the way they word/sell their products then the better it is for us, the consumer…

And now there’s a website?!?

https://ldsentertainment.com/

a quick whois will likely show a few details - I imagine the hosts’ terms and conditions may be violated by this person(s) selling stuff like this… (and GoDaddy may not like to feel the wrath of Disney/Lucasfilm getting in contact) - and then handing over files to help ascertain just who is behind it…)

I can only echo what others have said in here - massive thanks phildesfr - for sharing your quality work and also your asset files too 😃

and the shin_O poster really looks great as a TLJ cover as well!

Alison Brie…

Likely had a tough week with the leaks - though captivating on-screen; not just her looks but the quality of her acting, the way she carries herself, and a mysterious intrigue/depth she brings to many of her roles.

Hi everyone! My new set is available in this new thread:

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Phildesfrs-Blu-Ray-Complete-Set/id/56080

They are pure quality mate - very well done - and thank you very much for sharing them with us all 😃

I hope in the future you will also kindly grace us with covers for the films to come too?

^ & ^^ - Thank you for the kind words lads - they are much appreciated 😃
 

I think I found the Rogue One logo here on this old article - http://www.slashfilm.com/disney-wont-promote-star-wars-rogue-one-until-after-mission-impossible-opens/

(it says it is by Michael Cohen of ‘The Rebels Podcast’ fame - https://twitter.com/arkwulf/status/576092216935886848 - so all credit to him)
 

There is also this similar logo for TFA - from http://popfurypodcast.com/110-star-wars-the-force-awakens/

The Faces pieces are based from these 3-in-1 dvd covers that LordStarkiller and I knocked up (and a lot of talented people before us) - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-THX-Faces-DVD-Covers-Finished/id/11481/page/3
 

Got to admit the Definitive Edition style logo is my favourite - it fits/suits the USB Box well. Though anything a little different or ‘out there’ is all good too 😃
 

and sometimes something simple does the trick…

The Premiere cinema in Cardiff (UK) £4 a ticket, any film, any format, any time!

I think it’s £3 for a child.
So for a family (2x adults + 2x child) £14.

Quality that mate - seems the owner has a decent business model and doesn’t mind cutting his profit margin if it gets people and families back in (and may likely make a little back in the longer run) - better that than it laying empty and decaying for 10 years 😃

My local is £6.90 an adult, £5.40 kids all days and times - bar Tues & Wed when it’s £5 adult, £2 kids. Doing well too and getting in people in from various community groups, people just looking to meet up with mates, and those who want to just get out the house etc.

Finally, wasn’t Peter Cushing too tall? I seem to remember him being barely taller than Carrie Fisher, and she was rather short too. He towered over nearly everyone.

^ Seems Cushing isn’t too far off Vader’s height (with Vader having a helmet and boots - and Cushing likely wearing his slippers - as the Imperial boots were apparently uncomfortable for him to film in for any length of time)…

ScruffyNerfHerder said:

…I can’t believe that the Empire would dismiss the stolen Death Star plans so readily in the next film. “It doesn’t matter what technical plans they’ve discovered. This station is now the ultimate power in the galaxy…” Really?! The Rebels sent their entire fleet to get those plans, don’t you think they did that for a reason?

The full conversation from that conversation in the next film is:-

INT. DEATH STAR - CONFERENCE ROOM

           Eight Imperial senators and generals sit around a black 
           conference table. Imperial stormtroopers stand guard around 
           the room. Commander Tagge, a young, slimy-looking general, 
           is speaking.

                                 TAGGE
                     Until this battle station is fully 
                     operational we are vulnerable. The 
                     Rebel Alliance is too well equipped. 
                     They're more dangerous than you 
                     realize.

           The bitter Admiral Motti twists nervously in his chair.

                                 MOTTI
                     Dangerous to your starfleet, 
                     Commander, not to this battle station!

                                 TAGGE
                     The Rebellion will continue to gain 
                     a support in the Imperial Senate as 
                     long as....

           Suddenly all heads turn as Commander Tagge's speech is cut 
           short and the Grand Moff Tarkin, governor of the Imperial 
           outland regions, enters. He is followed by his powerful ally, 
           The Sith Lord, Darth Vader. All of the generals stand and 
           bow before the thin, evil-looking governor as he takes his 
           place at the head of the table. The Dark Lord stands behind 
           him.

                                 TARKIN
                     The Imperial Senate will no longer 
                     be of any concern to us. I've just 
                     received word that the Emperor has 
                     dissolved the council permanently. 
                     The last remnants of the Old Republic 
                     have been swept away.

                                 TAGGE
                     That's impossible! How will the 
                     Emperor maintain control without the 
                     bureaucracy?

                                 TARKIN
                     The regional governors now have direct 
                     control over territories. Fear will 
                     keep the local systems in line. Fear 
                     of this battle station.

                                 TAGGE
                     And what of the Rebellion? If the 
                     Rebels have obtained a complete 
                     technical readout of this station, 
                     it is possible, however unlikely, 
                     that they might find a weakness and 
                     exploit it.

                                 VADER
                     The plans you refer to will soon be 
                     back in our hands.

                                 MOTTI
                     Any attack made by the Rebels against 
                     this station would be a useless 
                     gesture, no matter what technical 
                     data they've obtained. This station 
                     is now the ultimate power in the 
                     universe. I suggest we use it!

                                 VADER
                     Don't be too proud of this 
                     technological terror you've 
                     constructed. The ability to destroy 
                     a planet is insignificant next to 
                     the power of the Force.

                                 MOTTI
                     Don't try to frighten us with your 
                     sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your 
                     sad devotion to that ancient religion 
                     has not helped you conjure up the 
                     stolen data tapes, or given you 
                     clairvoyance enough to find the 
                     Rebel's hidden fort...

           Suddenly Motti chokes and starts to turn blue under Vader's 
           spell.

                                 VADER
                     I find your lack of faith disturbing.

                                 TARKIN
                     Enough of this! Vader, release him!

                                 VADER
                     As you wish.

                                 TARKIN
                     This bickering is pointless. Lord 
                     Vader will provide us with the 
                     location of the Rebel fortress by 
                     the time this station is operational. 
                     We will then crush the Rebellion 
                     with one swift stroke.

^ So… the Empire doesn’t really dismiss the stolen plans at all… it is just Motti who is somewhat overconfident and also displays little regard for his own Imperial Fleet - whilst boasting about the power of the Death Star given the conversation above - and also resulted in Vader choking him seconds later.

Rogue One has it’s faults - many are seemingly quite subjective (and a few could possibly be explained by the re-shoots/changes) - but the height of a character and one Imperial officer in the next film with a hard-on for the Death Star becoming the basis for ‘I can’t believe that the Empire would dismiss the stolen Death Star plans so readily in the next film’, aren’t quite there.

(not discounting your premise that Motti would somehow know that it was the entire Rebel fleet at the Battle Of Scarif - which it likely wasn’t).

I scoffed at this at first, then read the year again.
I pretty much agree. Might give it a 7/10.

1990? Wow - time has flown. Am off to watch this again - only seems a couple of years ago since saw it at the cinema, though remember seeing in the mid-90’s in the UK… too many zombie films to remember 😃

^ It’s a long shot but around page 20 of this thread there are some users who were PIF’ing the EditDroid discs way back then (it was one of the few ways we had to get discs out there back then on here - before large storage accounts, the cloud, and not everyone had a dvd writer or player - or even broadband 😃) - a few of them are still on the site and may be worth asking them if they have what you are looking for?

Because people give up and buy it off of him, if it were easier to acquire that would be a different story.

I agree it is a bit tedious but it really shames me that fans are WILLING to put money into this. I mean
the versions I got my hands on were from TUIG and yeah it sucks they have no menus but I can wait until I get into a private torrent site. The barebones versions are plenty to tide me over and they did take me a while to figure out how to convert MKV files to a blu-ray format but after that it was smooth sailing.

Some people find it easier to just buy them, some of us don’t have the internet speed to download 200+GB of data or blu-ray burners etc. I’ve had this argument before, but it’s just supply and demand. Until there is an easier way to get these, which I doubt there ever will be, because if that ever happened it would for sure get shut down at that point, people will always try to find a way to make an extra buck or two.

You don’t need a blu-ray burner. All you need is a DVD burner and some Dual-layered DVDs to get your hands on high quality versons of the DE’s/SSE’s. The AVC-HD versions on TUIG (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yLsvexWBVM8IYSGopKuSfsGk5YIgCwQWd23bqb5ryD4/pub) and do the multi-part rar download. If you have good internet speeds then it will download in like an hour or two, if not then it might take 3-4 hours. Then all you need is something like ImgBurn and burn it to the Dual-layered DVDs. If you’re really that desperate why not take a day to figure that out with the help of an extensive guide and a community more than willing to help you along the way. The AVC-HD versions are perfect for Dual-layered DVDs because they’re only 8-9 Gigabytes. Why wait for 5-10 days to get it in the mail for 200$ or even 50$ when you can do it for the price of some dual-layered DVDs and take just a few hours of your day. Seems perfectly acceptable to me.

Or let it go overnight or even a few nights…everyone (or so it seems) wants things instantly these days and can’t be bothered putting in some time and effort to actually obtain things that are so worth the time anyway. It actually took me something like 3 weeks to get all the files for these custom BDs and I am still yet to get onto sourcing a burner, discs and printer to print all the covers and whatnot but what is a few weeks to the many years I’ve been denied the experience of watching the theatrical versions on my TV / home cinema in a decent resolution and having it sit nicely on a shelf when not watching?

I’M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPLOAD IT’S NOT MY FAULT I’M TOO CHEAP TO SPRING FOR A PAID MEGA ACCOUNT!!!

😉

LOL, this was in no way a dig at you…just a great example at hand to use. I only have appreciation for yourself sharing them with me and trying to reciprocate that kindness and community spirit by sharing with those that I believe will also greatly enjoy harmy’s and njvc’s creations and respect njvc’s wishes not to distribute these willy-nilly to try and protect against the profiteering going on.

Can’t wait to finish moving into the new house myself and get started on the next stage - actually making my own custom boxset! 😄

.Val

Good luck with your box set! I’m starting to assemble mine as well. Are you going to design it yourself, or use one of the designs available from people here on the site?

On this topic I’ve downloaded njvc’s provided box art and I’m puzzled on how your supposed to get the art applied on the disc, a special printer perhaps?

There are some printers that can print right onto a printable discs. You can also get sticker label, which I have used before, but some people have said they have problems with them. Those are the only two options that I know of. Good luck!

Option 1: The only 50 GB printable blu ray discs i can find come in bulk on Amazon for like, 100 bucks…

Option 2: I suck at applying screen protectors or any type of sticker that matter and most blank blu ray discs have a sticker label already on it with their logo or something.
