I'm guessing they fed the artist acid and then about two hours later had him watch the film alone in a theater and paint the poster the next morning with a single McQuarry painting as reference.

I'm still amazed that Christopher wanted to be in the movies after he read the script.
Christopher Lee: "You mean to tell me, Dooku gives away the fact that the Sith infiltrated the senate and the Jedi never investigate? Seems legit! Sign me up!
Well, he was in The Howling 2: Your Sister's A Werewolf! willingly. He's one of my favorite actors, but he's not always been the most discerning.

Yes, I'm very happy to say that I managed to find color settings that bring the sabre super close to how it looks on the IB print without affecting the rest of the colors in a negative way - in fact the rest of the colors in that scene is now closer to the IB Print as well. I'll post a comparison video of the whole scene tomorrow.
I noticed the skin tones in the training robot shots looks better in 2.1. Less red. Although, I thought you had them looking great in 2.0!

Still hoping for a concept Vader.
Still can't find that storyboard (it used to be all over the web but poof).
I know the one you mean... Where he has his hands up by his face as if he's saying "Oggy-Boogy-Boo!"? That's the most frightening one I've ever seen!

Come on guys, get with the program :P
It's not Hayden under there... it's Alec Baldwin:
HA! Love it!

I'd advice those who wanted to use it as x-mas presents to reconsider - it's still the plan to have it out before x-mas but I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to hold to it - I have a lot of schoolwork to do before the end of semester, so I'm finding it hard to find the time to work on this.
Thanks for the heads up! It's still gonna be gifted to several people... even if Christmas comes a little late!
I agree that a "bare bones" BD is the way to go, with a bonus disc when the special features are ready. It might be nice to have the comparison gallery on the BD with the film though.
I'd love to have a 2-disc BD set for all three De-Specialized films!
double!!
I'm afraid it's gonna be all Tron Legacy. Actually, I'll be very surprised if it's not. Lucasfilm owns the rights to the characters likenesses and now Disney owns Lucasfilm... just seems inevitable that they will go that route..
Harmy said:
please let me know what you guys think:
Looks great! I don't know how it could look better.
Are all of the Star Wars deleted scenes on the bluray? Like the shots of our heroes whistling with their guns behind their backs to look innocent as they stroll past imperial officers? I don't think all of the "Lost Cut" material is available.. is it?

the voices have been dubbed with milder accents
That's ridiculous.
Although I agree, I also sympathize. I think I've heard the Glaswegian accent and...wow.
Subtitles!
Harmy said:
Yes, by Christmas is the worst case scenario in my plans.
That's great news!
Hey Harmy, just wondering if you think you'll have the BD ready by Christmas. I'm hoping to be giving this as a gift to almost everyone I know.
Well, it was cancelled in my town due to lack of response which was due to lack of advertising. Do you hear how lame you are Springfield?
Totally lame... totally.
How did the print look? Did they screen the new documentary with it? I'm going tomorrow!
NO! AAHH!!! Why didn't I find out sooner! It's playing Thursday in my town! There's no way I can get off work that night! I'm gonna have to quit my job!!
EDIT: It runs till the 30th!! Now I gotta call and beg for my job back...

I agree with the ninth.
Eh, the ninth post was pretty awful.
But it was pretty.
I agree with the ninth.

once on set Alec Guinness paid Mark Hamill a 20-pound note just to go away. Apparently Mark was driving Alec crazy asking a lot of questions about his career.

I read a story in Empire magazine when TPM came out about how Alec Guiness, after being approached by a young fan, boasting he'd seen star wars over 100 times, told to said fan to promise him one thing - never watch star wars again.
LexX said:
when signing photographs with Dave Prowse, who always puts Dave Prowse is Darth Vader on them, Guinness puts a question mark there and has written Alec Guinness is Alec Guinness.
I don't see any of this as Alec being an ass. I think all of these little stories are very funny! Was Mark upset about the incident? I'd think he, as a young eager actor, would found it as funny as anyone else would. Did the kid with no life really take offense to Alec's words and stop being a Star Wars fan? Or did he realize that it takes no effort to watch a film 100 times and is therefore nothing to boast about? And the autograph thing is just awesome. What is there to upset about there?

I've registered after a long time lurking to thank Harmy for this.
As much as I welcome the removal of crap CGI dinosaurs and the like from the SE, the biggest improvement for me is the colouring. I can cringe during pointless SE changes for their duration, but the bland over-stylized colour palette of the Special Edition ruined every second of it for me. So, thanks Harmy.
I love your avatar. That is all.
MrInsaneA said:
Because we can't without removing a bunch of really cool stuff.
Seriously, we can't. Anyone who thinks so is fooling themselves.
A bunch of cool stuff? ...Like what?
Seriously, there isn't a moment in the prequels that I'd care to preserve.

.....The planet is different.
That's for sure. In Alien/Aliens we were on LV426 in Prometheus we're one moon over on LV223. I feel like a broken record on this subject (I've been discussing the flick on another forum), but the events of Prometheus do take place on another moon and that is not the same ship the crew finds in Alien. It's a prequel, but it doesn't set up the events of Alien in the way a traditional prequel would. I don't really see much that would make this an "alternate universe" sort of thing at all.

Try with JDownloader. I had the same problems - uloz is always buggy for me...
Thanks for the quick reply! Trying it now...

Here is a preliminary comparison gallery:
http://uloz.to/xCAaaEE/compar-gallery-rar
It's taken from a compressed render of the video comparison. I'd like you to report any mistakes, typos or mislabels you may find, so that I can perfect it for the BD release. Thanks.
I've tried to download this a few times now, but I keep getting an error during the download. I've managed to extract the pics up to where R2 is hiding in the rocks, but it breaks there. Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?

Welcome to my posting history.
ALLOL! Bingo, I love your posts. I don't always catch the references, but I often sometimes do. Maybe I should post more often to show my appreciation.
