My current mantra.

Sounds great! Your galleries are very much much appreciated.

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but will ESB:R have a track with pop-up changes like the ANH:R DVD? I found this useful, especially when showing it to my kids.

Ady has said that the changes in ESB:R are far too numerous for a pop-up to keep up with. I do think there will be a comparison image gallery. If Ady doesn’t make it, I’m pretty sure someone (005?) will.

rastanz on deviantart fixed the decent poster with the TIE’s correctly now firing green (and original Jyn head!)

That’s much better than the one being used. I’m still not into the pyramid of people though.

The homebrew channel is great.

Why refuse to use something that has already been made? Isn’t it a bigger waste of funds to not use props that money has already gone into?

Shin Godzilla won Best Picture at the Japanese Academy awards! I’m so happy! Easily the best movie I saw in 2016. Nothing else that I saw was nearly as smart or fun.

(JEDIT- this is good)

I don’t buy the idea that female action figures are a rare sight or unpopular. My best buddies daughter has TONS of 'em and they never had to look hard to find em at the toy shops.
I also don’t think having the lead in TFA be female was a “risky move”. Maybe if they made the movie right after ROTJ, but not now. Movies, comic books, cartoons, ect. have been putting strong females in the lead for a long time now. (though it does seem that the scale is just recently tipping towards even)
I’m also not surprised that an action figure of the lead character in a Star Wars movie sold well. Who would be?
Seems like the reporting of someone who is very much out of touch.

I guess I should go back to using the full quote like I used to.
“Operator dead. Post abandoned.”

As you have kids, that’s kind of a surprise you haven’t seen it.

Didn’t you read Huzeniey’s review he posted here? Who would want to see Zootopia after he dropped the obviously not-crazy truth about that deviant, mind-corrupting film, much less take their kids to experience such filth?!

I thought ZOOTOPIA had beautiful visuals, fine humor, and a clever detective story.

That’s not all you thought.

ZOOTOPIA

Everything about the production was first rate. Good humor.
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
This one joins TOMMORROWLAND, THE GIVER, and AMERICAN ULTRA among my list of all-time favorites! Finally, we have a movie about predators and prey living in harmony!
Due to Neanderthal parents, we have young people fearing predators. This just goes to show why these unenlightened cattle deserve to SUFFER and DIE. But first, they deserve to watch as the predators take their children.
But how do we attain this progressive nirvana?
We now have a perfect mass-psychology progra…I mean…delightful animation with an important message for our youth. And a PERFECT theme song to go with it! "TRY EVERTHING!"
As we all know, this fear of turning comes from these despicable “lambs” who are ALL really just Westboro Baptist hatemongers… -“Be cheaper than a two dollar whore” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”-… Yet they would still DARE to teach their offspring that the predators are the problem with their mind opening drugs, and destruction of “normal” sexuality, and revolutionary overturning of all that humanity has considered essential in order to live as “our creator” has intended for such beings to live. Now this youth can recognize that ALL evil can be traced back to the prey that DARES to have ANY concern about their VASTLY morally superior predators… -“Do meth, crack, weed and pills” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”-… Why, predators are the real victims of slander and conspiracy of the prey. Because that’s what PREY does, NOT PREDATORS… -“Run trains for foreign gangbangers and pretend you don’t notice they want the rest of your family to die” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERTHING!”…“Don’t worry about consequences you just get back out and” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”…
Of course, there will be those who DARE to suggest that girls have wound up as addicted prostitutes and even been killed by “TRY EVERYTHING!” Others have destroyed their futures by out of wedlock births along with every other “social pathology”. They might claim to know some of these girls. There might even be some who would try to point out that this is a PERFECT expression of the enlightened philosophy of needing to experience bad in order to have a balanced appreciation of good and evil. They might DARE to say that it is bashing your neighbor’s child’s head against a brick wall to have a balanced understanding of not hitting one’s head, but that just proves how evil those naysayers are… -“Wreck your natural sexuality and desensitize yourself to the filthiest practices then say you were born that way” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”-…
I saw tween girls in the theater jump up and dance… -“Be a drugged-up oozing slop-skanks” BEE-BOP BE-BOP THUMP THUMP “TRY EVERYTHING!”…

And, becasue TL;DR,

I think he was just going on and on about how he’s a child molester who likes to go to children’s films and have weird, perverted fantasies.
I’m not exactly sure though. I’ll go on record stating that I could be wrong about that. I just skimmed the post. But that’s what I gathered.

Because he wasn’t supposed to age or what?

I’m not Ryan, but I assume his argument is this;

“Throughout the course of the OT, we saw Han grow from a smuggler who cares about nobody but himself to a man fighting for a cause. In TFA they basically reset that, they make it so he’s a smuggler again, totally forgoing any character growth that we saw in the OT.”

I think this line of thinking comes from people who aren’t old enough to be able to look back at 30+ years of their life to note the changes they’ve gone through and the similarities that linger throughout.

I swear, the more popular the movie, the more likely it’ll be mistreated.

I’ve found this to be absolutely true.

The only relevant things in that skyscraper of pics are the “before smartphones/after smartphones” and the George Lucas images. The rest is “I’m a fat, out of touch loser and I’ll blame it on the kids”.
Don’t be that guy.
This is coming from a middle aged man. If you don’t have presents and people around on your birthday, it’s not the internets fault.

Guys, I’m stupid. I found this question in a bunch a stupid riddles. I guess I just don’t get the joke

Question:

How many bricks does it take to complete a build made of brick?

Answer:

Only one - the “last” one

huh? I get it. Could someone please explain what I am missing?

The last brick needed completes the build.
It doesn’t say “How many bricks does it take to build a building”, but “How many does it take to complete a building”.

This would mean that at least in one of the two scenes it is a deliberate choice to recolour the sleeves. All this makes the change only more baffling to me. They took the time and attention to make these two scenes match, but broke continuity in so many other scenes

Ya know, if they only did it in one instance and not the other, I could understand that maybe they wanted to make it seem like two different lizard-men. But changing both… there’s no reasoning. It’s really the most pointless change.

David Brent: Life On The Road 2016

LOVED this! I’m a big fan of the U.K.'s The Office, but had reservations about this movie. It was nearly perfect. I had eyes full of tears at the end and laughed just about the entire runtime. Great story, great laughs, GREAT POINT to the whole thing.
I can’t recommend this enough. It’s streaming on Netflix and I think most here would feel better for having watched it.

Darth Solo said:

Having just viewed the original terminator it made me think how just like Star Wars it was far ahead of its time. I also was waiting for A Digital Mans extended cut additions of the extra scenes which made a more rounded take of a true classic.

I love that edit! That the final scenes at Cyberdine (sp?) have never been added to an official release is a mistake in my opinion. Really creates a strong tie to the sequel.

Judge said:

I’m a bit worried about this movie for a number of reasons. Actually, worried is the wrong word. I’m far too jaded about Star Wars to worry about anything these days.

For one, I get the feeling that this film will totally ruin Han’s arc in ANH. He goes from “cynical smuggler who cares only about himself” to “rogue who sacrifices his own interests to save his friends” in the course of the film. That’s his character. If they try and make Han out to be a good guy in the standalone movie (which they will; this is Disney we’re talking about here) it will spoil his character progression. This will make his whole subplot in ANH completely pointless.

This is why I’ve said that a movie about Lando would be much better. Lando seems to have gone through the life changes we see Han make during the OT before we meet him. There’s a much better backstory to tell with Lando and, obviously, Han could still be there.

It’s was proven during the creation of the Despecialized edition to be a deliberate change.
One of those guys (same one?) walks by outside later in the daylight and he’s had the shirt change too.

A little somthin’ I just threw together…
