If you need to B*tch about something <strong>other than originaltrilogy.com</strong>... This is the place

Wow. Just Wow.
Even if that was the guy, none of that had anything to do with how badly the situation was handled. And since when is winning money at poker scandalous? Unless you’re having illicit gay sex and drug trafficking during the game of course. 😉

I agree, even if the guy was corrupt, unless it had something to do with how he got his plane ticket and that was why they were removing him from the plane, it has nothing to do with the situation at hand.

Welcome to the hypocritical world of hate, judgement and values that pass as ‘news’ that is the Daily Mail. They seem to specialise in shit like this.

Not to mention the ‘not checking their facts first’ part either 😉

 

They’ve just had to pay out and issue and apology to your First Lady for running a story where they claimed she was an escort.

United is going to have to cough up millions in a lawsuit, or just to make this mess go away quickly. I hope Mr. Dao takes them to the cleaners.

Seems the Telegraph and Daily Fail may be paying out too…

Rogue One * <em>Spoilers</em> * Thread
Time

SkyderHouseMafia said:

It’s rough but here’s a very nice video on how a Rogue One crawl could have looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa-gaZLbeg0

There are a few interesting crawls in the Star Wars Fan Edit section on here - though this one stood out for me:-

http://www.space.ca/star-wars-rogue-one-crawl/ (with video of the crawl)…

ROGUE ONE

The Jedi are all but extinct, the
Republic has fallen and in their
wake, the Galactic Empire has
engulfed the far reaches of the
galaxy in fear.

Persecuted members of the Old
Republic have been thrust into
hiding. Only members of the
REBEL ALLIANCE dare take a
stand against the ruthless
Imperial forces.

Deep in the Outer Rim territories,
the dastardly Director Krennic
has discovered the location of a
long lost friend; one capable of
completing the Empire’s most
powerful weapon yet…

 

The more I read it the more I like it. For me the crawl fits the style and tone of the the OT crawls, as well as the Rogue One movie itself. It isn’t too long and doesn’t overburden the viewer with details or minutia, and ‘scans’ quite well too.

The 1st paragraph setting the outline of the Star Wars universe since the last film (chronologically Episode III),

It’s 2nd paragraph setting the current events - along with the acknowledgment of a fledgling Rebellion starting to fight back vs the oppressive Empire,

and the 3rd paragraph ‘setting the scene’, as it were, for the start of Rogue One itself…

all very well done 😃

7 of the last 10 reviews on IMDB:

  1. “The Worst of the Very Worst, Should be Forbidden”
  2. “This Movie Is Stupid”
  3. “Leaves A Lot To Be Desired”
  4. “The Fart Awakens And Stinks up The Galaxy Far Far Away”
  5. “So bad I had to create a review account”
  6. “Imagine if someone gave you money for presenting someone else’s work/script/idea”
  7. “Not terrible, not great either”

Which one is your favorite?

For what it’s worth, and in the interest of balance… IMDB.com: Star Wars - The Force Awakens, rating of 8.1/10 - from 651,474 users.

6 film trilogy &quot;Faces&quot; Covers
Time

a couple of nice looking Faces-based VHS covers/box for Rogue One - may give some inspiration / ideas if anyone is doing a complete Faces set… (if and when good quality photos that match the rest of the Faces series / style are available)

Disney brings back laserdisc sized packaging

Wazzles said:

Are these region free?

Sorry Wazzles mate - I’ve no idea.

There has been no publicity in the UK for this - and despite it being a Tesco exclusive - Tesco aren’t advertising the R1 ‘Big Sleeve’ release online or elsewhere as far as I know - the bloke who did the video accidentally stumbled upon one in the shop whilst looking for the regular bluray…

May be worth asking the guy who did the video though mate as to whether it is region-free 😃

Cd/DVD Guard??

I’ve never used that on my printed discs - and most still work ok 13 years on.

Though these have some reviews on the spray that may help you decide…

Does anyone have a link to some alternate hi-res R1 blu ray covers for Rogue One? I got the standard US version, and the red TIE lasers are really getting on my nerves. I’d settle for the same thing with green lasers.

There are a few cover a few pages back in this thread, as well as in here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Rogue-One-PosterPromos/id/50710

Hopefully there’ll be a few more custom covers in the http://originaltrilogy.com/discussion/DVD-Covers-Disc-Labels-and-Other-Fan-Artwork/id/20 thread too…

as well as a few custom covers in the google images search and art sites like deviantart.com etc 😃
