It’ll be very unlikely to happen - it may seem a popular idea by the Tories right now who need something for their supporters to rally behind - and it’ll be a good, though hypocritical, move for the Tory readers of the Mail, S*n and Express.

Yet it won’t work…

It’s similar to that router idea which would ban porn that the UK Govt had a couple of years ago - before they were told it was unworkable and the public found out that a large Tory donor would be the making most of the routers?

Besides…

What is porn and what is art?

What will the appeal process be? - and how much will the regulatory body cost to fund? how quick will the regulatory body be to ease access to Barnados, NSPCC and other websites dealing, helping and educating in sex abuse and other sites mistakenly listed (as in that router opt in/out farce?)?

How about sites that aren’t listed as mainly porn sites but do contain some - or little amount of ‘porn’ material?

a vpn will simply get around this UK ban - even a chrome extension. 'Cos kids are useless with tech…

Even if not, P2P is about to get a little boost next year…

Smaller ISP’s in the UK even still allow access to banned torrent sites - so how will the Govt force them to do this? I doubt the Govt has a list of all the ISPs in the UK…

Storing financial details (if credit card ID) of customers on a porn site isn’t the best idea - and could make them a target for hackers/blackmailers etc - let alone the idea of trusting financial information with untrusted companies (and employees)… are the FCA going to be involved too? 😉

and for 16-17 years olds - you can legally have sex - but you can’t watch others have sex online? Even for education, or ideas etc…

and finally - no kid is ever going to get hold of their parent’s credit card info are they…

(and that’s IF the Tories can get this through and made law - which is unlikely - seems to be posturing and preaching to their converted)

^ fair enough… 😃

I bought my TR-47 discs on Ebay. That was long before I found this place and knew it could be acquired for free. Others are likely in that boat.

Excuse my noobiness but what is TR-47?
(I hope I’m not getting off topic.)

Info on the TR47 set can be found here mate - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/id/1364

Basically it’s a laserdisc to dvd transfer of the OT - as was the norm back in 2003/04 on here…

IIRC it was one of the first quality sets out around at that time - along with the Dr Gonzo, and the later EditDroid, IsoMix, Moth3r, Farsight sets etc…

a list of the major projects from back then can be found here (in amongst some more modern releases):-

erm… one for the young 'uns out there - I think…

Love the old style-ish logos for the new films - even the Prequel Trilogy looks - (and I mean looks) - better with old style logo covers 😃

Here’s a link to my collection of Star Wars posters:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z9r9en8oyxs1hww/AAANY-SqXCn85zElBjhLoBCKa?dl=0

It’s still a work in progress. My goal is to collect every official poster ever released, in the highest resolution possible. I think it would be great to have a comprehensive database available online.

So, if anyone has / knows where super high res or rare posters can be found, let me know!

I’ve also collected a great bunch of alternate posters worth checking out 😃

Also, maybe this already exists and I’m totally behind the times – either way, enjoy.

Very impressive mate - some nice posters there I hadn’t seen before - many thanks for sharing. Hope you find a lot more covers to come…
 

I’ve added your post to a list of covers and useful links etc:-

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/A-list-of-Box-Sets-3-in-1-Trilogy-covers-single-case-sets-some-useful-links/id/53673 -

^ hopefully it’ll come in handy for others to find stuff on here etc

doubleKO also has a great collection of art/posters etc here (1.48gb-ish) - link

He also found this superb site for many different Star Wars posters / art, here at Heritage Auctions:-

Top work SkyderHouseMafia 😃

Came across these earlier - despite not quite being dvd covers (cd covers) still think they are pretty cool - and love the logos used and the layout of the set…

Wasn’t there another Dead film in the works? I imagine Monsterpalooza will memorialize him in September.

Yes mate - ‘Road Of The Dead’

https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2017/07/george-a-romero-says-road-of-the-dead-is-the-fast-and-the-furious-with-zombies/

I imagine Z-Nation, iZombie, F/TWD et al will all be giving nods to his passing soon as well.

If you could put a link on here to your DeSpecialized blu-ray set (or it’s covers) - then someone on here may have / know where to find the Prequel Trilogy blu-ray covers set to match.

I uploaded pictures for you guys

Thanks - that set is very much likely by phildesfr - from this thread here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Custom-blu-ray-setfor-the-Despecialized-Editions/id/18201/page/1

Could well be worth asking phildesfr if there are any Prequel Trilogy covers (though as Tyler0013 says, there doesn’t seem to be any for matching PT covers that set) - though he may have seen some elsewhere?

May also be worth asking if anyone is willing to knock up a set to match - there are some very talented people on here…

Good luck with it - I hope you find what you are looking for.

edit - the front of these Prequel covers with old style logos (in the main) - may come in use for ideas or inspiration etc…?

If you could put a link on here to your DeSpecialized blu-ray set (or it’s covers) - then someone on here may have / know where to find the Prequel Trilogy blu-ray covers set to match.

someone will go check to make sure he’s still dead, yes?

RIP George (seriously)

You really should see Ryan Johnson’s doctor. I know it’s not “canon”, but the woman who played the doctor was quite good, it wasn’t a joke, and it was 30 years ago. There were 4 episodes, the 4th one being the best.

Ryan has a website that can be found with a modest bit of googling.

I am intrigued - will certainly give it a go.

 

 

On a separate note I don’t get all the selective cherry-picking of past episodes to try and discredit the notion that a Gallifreyan can’t change sexes - we’re told, and have been shown, that they can change colour, age, personality, character, memory, and sex - so it’s hardly a big surprise…

Over 20 regenerations of various characters in old and new Who before Missy, not once was there a gender change not once.

and just because it hasn’t been mentioned in the earlier Who content doesn’t mean it’s any less correct.

perhaps, but if Timelords can change gender, the lack of any mention of this(and the lack of it actually happening) for over 50 years, is quite glaring.

The Doctor will be a woman - big deal.

Just like it would be no big dead if Romana or Rani changed into a man. Right.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if Romana (Fred) or Rani regenerated into a man - as previously said. Why would it?

What are you talking about with this (Fred). If Romana ever regenerated into a male and went by the name Fred, I have never heard about it.

Read back through my post on it in here - and you’ll find the answer.

I didn’t see any answer to my question in the above post and I am not about to re-read the entire thread. Perhaps I’ll google it one day.

Now, why would it be a big deal if Romana or Rani regenerated into a man?

because feminists.

For someone who is ‘done with Doctor Who’ you sure are making a lot of posts about it still.

It’s next to the one where you lied about what I said - or rather didn’t say.

The Doctor is The Doctor - albeit a Gallifreyan - whether young, old, white, black, male, female - or even ginger.

We have seen / been told that Gallifreyans regenerate into a different sex before too - The Corsair or The Master/Missy for example…

Think we will ever see a male Romana or Rani?

Fred? Yes, why not?

huh?

Romanadvoratrelundar seemed to be too long a name when she introduced herself to the Doctor. He had trouble pronouncing the full name, and quickly shortened it to “Romana”, though given the choice of being called “Romana” or “Fred” she told him to call her “Fred”.

So yes, Fred. Why not?

darthrush said:

I’m sick of everyone giving Warbler shit and even suggesting that what he is saying makes him someone who is acting like a sexist pig. He simply doesn’t agree with the change about a character and to call him sexist is completely out of line.

This is why “liberal snowflake” is a commonly used term. Your calling him a sexist for a creative disagreement over a character and their identity.

I think the only one in here to mention ‘sexist pig’ is…

Warbler said:

and call me a sexist pig and bigot all you want. I don’t care.

and no-one else.

I just hope Jodie Whittaker gets some decent stories and lines - she’s a talented and interesting actress - and that the series does well.
