I agree with the comments. The animation is pretty lame and yeah, bring back Clone Wars.
I see no differences between the LD and the GOUT except different brightness/contrast/saturation
None of that is in the episodes

but even if he would do something like classic rock, I would still find it annoying. Just like Uhura’s singing in TOS - I love Nichelle and her voice, but it just doesn’t fit to Trek.
What about Seven of Nine’s singing? (see my link above)
Why doesn’t it fit to Trek, You don’t think the songs that Vic was singing would make to the 23rd/24th century?
Long story short - song breaks belong to musicals ( IMHO ).

The acting looks like taken from a Wood Rocket porn spoof
Worf was a great addition to DS9, come on! He’s even more interesting than he was on TNG.
If you want one horrible mistake - take a look at the holographic jazz singer, whatshisname.Vic Fontaine a mistake‽
Maybe it is just because I like that style of music, Vic Fontaine doesn’t seem like a mistake to me.
I don’t like his type of music, but even if he would do something like classic rock, I would still find it annoying. Just like Uhura’s singing in TOS - I love Nichelle and her voice, but it just doesn’t fit to Trek.

I really hate that DC thinks tone is their biggest issue. Tone is fine by me. The darker tone was fine. What didn’t work in BvS was that it was a narrative mess, with not enough character motivation, and an obvious need to bloat the film with a billion different hefty checkboxes like doomsday, Wonder Woman, and supermans dearh. Tone was the least of their problems. Which is why I’m pretty sure Justice League could just as well be BvS + a ton of jokes if DC keeps thinking that was the big issue with BvS.
They tried to cram 4 movies into 1.
They really should do
Movie 1) The fall of Krypton movie, taking place completely on Krypton with let’s say the post credits scene being baby superman crashlanding on Earth and being found by the Kents
Movie 2) A standalone Batman movie, maybe with the Joker and/or some of the characters from Suicide Squad as the villain(s)
Movie 3) Standalone Superman movie, maybe with Lex Luthor as the main villain
Movie 4) Superman vs Zod, destruction of Metropolis
Movie 5) Batman vs Superman, and make them fight only because of their different ideologies
Movie 6) Death of Superman
Movie 7) Suicide Squad - in this time all the characters would be properly introduced in the previous movies, and have a villain with a clear motivation
And I don’t agree with tone. If they want to do dark movies, I’m OK with that, just keep the tone dark. The tone in these movies is all over the place, similar to the Star Wars prequels.
Wasn’t sure where else to post this, but Batman Mask Of The Phantasm is finally coming out on Blu Ray!

Reminds me on how much I loved the animated show as a kid. Was BTW the series released on BD? I know that it was released on DVD, but that’s a format I “dropped” already
Today I learned that the biggest problem middle-class white men have is a women-only screening of Wonder Woman.
Today I learned that pittrek, Alderaan, and Id are all who I thought they were (for different reasons).
Wow.
OK I just noticed it and I’m using Firefox 54. For example instead of a question mark I see something which looks like an url encoded string. And btw I just noticed it happened only in the off-topic section, but it works perfectly here
For example my first post here : http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/fill-in-the-blank-Just-Died/id/14534/page/61 - how do you BTW link to a specific post?
What the hell%3F Stephen Furst was 81 according to the URL and 63 according to the text%253F He looked like 35 in Babylon 5
What source was used for the early 77 version?

Ah, so the print source for that particular laserdisc transfer still had the older version of those effects shots?
Do we know when exactly the TN1 source print is from?
Correct, the early 80’s home video releases were a strange hybrid of the 1981 crawl, the early 1977 effect composites and the late 1977 closing credits, as noticed by people with much better observation skills than mine.

If I remember correctly the source for the negative 1 scan was a 1977 LPP print?

I have no clue whether the colours (sorry, colars) are accurate, but I really love how they look and feel

Is it a Civil Rights Violation to ban men from a WONDER WOMAN screening?
Nope.
I guess I don’t even need to watch the video.
Fine, here you have the same document from the nyc.gov website
http://www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/law/in-public-spaces.page
It is against the City Human Rights Law for a public accommodation to withhold or refuse to provide full and equal enjoyment of those goods or services based on the following protected classes under the Law:

It’s definitely not.
Well, lawyers disagree. Check for example this: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/wonder-woman-film-2017-gal-gadot-women-only-screening-alamo-drafthouse-austin-a7773951.html

illegal women-only screening…
Hahahahaha. It sure is hard being a man in today’s world!
Also, nothing you complained about is the movie’s fault.
Sure, I never said it is.
Well ALL of the mainstream media promote her as a new feminist icon (despite her being created as a sexual fantasy of an old pervert), promoting the movie as the first female led superhero movie (which is a lie), promote it as an “female empowerment” movie (which from what I heard / read so far is also a lie), there are these illegal women-only screening… Just google “wonder woman feminism”, you’ll find tons of articles. On the other hand there were people who also claim to be feminists and they were outraged that Gal Gadot has shaved armpits…
I hate entertainment mixed with politics, unless it’s done subtly (like e.g. classic Star Trek)
I’ve seen Man of Steel in the cinema. This was the only movie in the last maybe 15 years I was seriously considering walking out and punching somebody while leaving. I absolutely hated MoS and everything it represented.
Batman v. Superman - I’ve seen the trailer and thought this looks like a giant piece of shit. So I refused to pay for watching it. However some time ago one of our TV stations bought it and promoted it like it’s the best thing ever. So I gave it a fair chance - I watched it until the first commercial break, then I switched the channel and never came back.
Suicide Squad - I’ve seen the trailer and thought this looks like a giant piece of shit. Just like BvS. And just like BvS I refused to pay to see it. So if I will be able to watch it for free one day, I might try it, otherwise I’m skipping this one.
Wonder Woman - haven’t seen it yet. I originally thought I’ll skip this one, mainly because of the feminist propaganda surrounding it, but people who have similar taste to mine seem to like it and the most negative review I’ve seen was that it’s OK for a superhero movie, so I probably will try it once it’s out on home video (I missed all the theatrical showings)

The “personal health deadline” sounds terrifying and I just hope I misread you, but at the same time I am happy that at least somebody is doing a proper restoration
Trekmovie.com interviewed Nicholas Meyer. Here are some interesting bits.
Meyer : One thing that has nothing to do with Discovery is that I am working on another Star Trek project, but I can’t discuss that either.
TrekMovie: Are we talking more feature film because as far as I know, there is only one television project, I assume.
Meyer: You can assume.
So, did I understand it correctly? Nicholas Meyer is working on ANOTHER STAR TREK PROJECT right now??? I hope it’s not just a Blu-ray release of a director’s cut of Star Trek 6, so maybe he got assigned for the new Star Trek movie? Or is CBS working on another TV show?
