I think you're passing an unfair judgement of LA. Perhaps you're just hanging out with the wrong people, you know? I mean, I'm pretty sure things are going to be OK with you, and that you'll gonna enjoy being there. Just be patient, things might get frustrating or tough when living in a different country, under a different culture.

If you mean for Gargoyles, I suppose he just wants people to buy the DVD sets so the following season can be released. For The Thief and the Cobbler, there's not much to be done, the movie is pretty much lost forever. You MAY see a Miramax buthcered version that has 40% of the original animation, plus crappy korean animation and a different plot, with new recorded voices (except for Vicent Price's, which was recorded back in the early 60s) being sold as "Arabian Nights".

I've seen this version some time ago at a fan-made DVD, but someone managed to get all the parts on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2czfar4Zg4

Star with part 1 and move to the next ones, or, if you wanna be amazed, watch the last 2 parts.

The only difference from the version I've seen is the voice soundtrack for the last part.

Keep in mind two things: this version's voice soundtrack is from the mid 60s, the animation was done from the mid 60s to 1991 I think at a very slow pace due to the complexity, and there's 20 minutes of animation missing, filled with partial animation, tests, and story boards.

This is the american animation masterpiece lost forever due to ignorance and lack of vision from the producers and financers...

What makes one classic movie or show anymore worth saving than another?


Nothing. That was based on my opinion. Thief and the Cobbler is the most beautifully animated north-american movie ever produced, tooking almost 40 years in the making. Unfortunally it was left incomplete, with Miramax editing it and using cheap korean animators to add some songs and dialogue to it. I've see a fan-restored version, and it's absolutely amazing.

So he is waaay more popular now than he was when he was still alive...

I belive not even when the Pope died and regenerated into the 10th Doctor we had a thread that lasted that long!


Not a very big guy for religon but the pope seemed like a nice guy.


I know he was, I was just saying that I'm very surprised on how people were affected with his death...

I'm sure you've heard some pretty outrageous things from Rush, but he doesn't mean for everything he says to be taken literally. He's an entertainer, not a reporter.


Wow. I didn't realize he was more of an entertainer than a reporter. That been put, I guess I shouldn't say anything about him on that sense...

I'm from Brazil, first of all. Back in september 2001 I was in college taking classes during the morning and working on a B2C website the rest of the day. It was my second year at college. I am not exactly sure, but from what I've calculated later, the moment the first plane hit the towers I was going from the campus cantina into a classroom located at the third floor of an old building, climbing some stairs talking with some other students. It was an Advanced Math II class (not sure how it would be translated into english), which took almost 3 hours that morning. After some time, a late student got into the class, and sat behind me.

"Have you guys heard that the United States are under attack? Two terrorist driven planes have hit the World Trade Center towers, another one has hit the Pentagon, and there's still more in the air!"

My first thought was "nonsense", but then I felt he had no reasons to be lying. I remember thinking "this can't be good, but maybe it's not that bad as it seems". The news spread across the classroom fast, and the professor interrupted the class and asked what was going on. We told him, and he said "Well I'm not sure about the WTC towers, but if the Pentagon has been hit, that is by itself a war statement...".

The towers had colapsed by the time the class was over. As it ended, we hurried down to the cantina, empty by now. A TV set was on, and we could see CNN images showing NY under this huge cloud of smoke and dust. "God damn!", I thought, as I realized it was worse than I thought. By then, I thought it was worse than it really was, judging by those first images I thought NYC had been completely destroyed!

I quickly found a computer at a lab and emailed a friend in the US, while I tried to access some webpages to know more about it. CNN had this static small webpage running, yahoo was very slow... Even penny arcade had removed their content!

Me and a coleague went to lunch at a small place outside the university, and as we walked we were talking on what could possibly happen after this day. We ate looking at the TV screens, as were everyone at the place.

I left to my job in my car, listening to the radio. As I got to the office I didn't see anyone from my department (the IT one), they were at a meeting room watching the news on TV. Back then the B2C section of that company (a major retailer corporation) was located at a single floor and I used to work right next to the marketing department guys. I was all day listening to their coments on how GWB would act, and stuff like that, on who had done it... I couldn't web surf too much so I didn't have much information about it. As I left work at night, I heard on the radio that name, for the first time... "it all indicated that the action taken was commanded by Osama Bin Laden", said by a NY correspondent live. I kept listening to it until I got back.

for the rest of the day, I was pretty much watching the news on TV< seeing the images over and over again... Still not understanding what I was seeing... Unaware of the future consequences...

Yes, I saw the date, and I realize it was posted on a period of time in which the whole topic was very sensible and the hated among the perpetuators of the terrorist acts were very high, almost non-logical. But at the same time, you'd never find such comments on a serious, real newspaper or media corporation - it would be kinda like the mohammad cartoon, if you think about it. It's a good thing that particular article faded into obscurity.

ricarleite by now you should be aware of your posting habits. Fairly often you post minimal length comments from your heart. In this case, it wasn't on topic and can be viewed as anti-conversational and definitely anti-topic. So it begs the question, why drag the thread down into your own displeasure, just ignore the thread, move on to something where you can be additive to the topic discussion. (if that's your goal, it might not)

As for the "hit and run" aspect of your posting habits. (it's nice to see your taking this issue serious by reviewing the replys) But with some frequency, i've seen posts asking you for clarification and they go unreplied. Of the forums here, the Off-Topic arena has members who like to post off hand comments for their own self-pleasure. It's fine, it often takes away from serious debate, but we're all part of the problem at times.

This has nothing to do with Lord Phillock, this is a valid topic and a fun idea to play around with. (maybe restart it in the General Topic section) I was commenting on ricarleite's non-constructive comments.

none


Let me present you the way that I post on this forum. First, you'll hardly find me on a single computer for a long amount of time, except when I'm at work at my company headquarters, not travelling on business reasons or located at clients, which is rather common. Also, you'll hardly find me not busy for long amounts of time. As I work for a single corporation AND do some independent, outside jobs and also commited myself to other stuff such as a future business of my own, I hardly have enough time to give except when I'm awaiting for something, be it a batch process being executed, a database query, a file being sent, an e-mail I'm awaiting, or maybe some time before or after lunch time, at the mornings, or at the evening. For the whole time I'm at a computer, with some exceptions, I leave a browser opened on some websites, including OT.com. For this reason I never log in - so sometimes I tend not to read PMs for weeks or even months. So every once in a while I tend to update the off topic page (and sometimes check the general star wars to see if there's anything meaningful on that mess), and reply to what I feel I want to.

You may see my replys as non-topical, not related to the subject of the conversation or deprived of a meaning, but that's what I have to add to the conversation. Sometimes it's a in-joke related to the topic, but he fact that you don't get it dosen't mean it's not there. Sometimes it's a mere comment on a different post that might not be the one directly above mine. You'll never see me trolling a thread with abuses, really non-meaningful conversations or non-sensical replies, even if it feels like it to yourself.

Yes, sometimes I do lose the stream of conversation I was having before, sometimes leaving a question posed by myself or a comment unreplied. This may happen for a number of reasons: sometimes I get away from the forum for some time and lost track of the topic, tha might get several pages beyond the point I've last read. And sometimes the questioning gets unanswered (on a almost arrogant way) for too long I don't bother anymore - this is particularly true to the fan edits threads.

Also do take in mind the fact that, being from Brazil, I don't have english as a first language, and I do make mistakes from time to time, misunderstand sentences or topics, fail to catch on some cultural references not present here, and commit some mistakes due to language barrier. This was most common on my old Politics posts - which caused me to avoid long posts on that specific topic because, honestlyh, it was getting ugly.

So if you wanted me to go on checking on a started conversation and post long, meaningful lines of text, here it is, you desire is fulfiled. Also, I'll try my beast to avoid the sort of postings YOU don't seem to desire (and so far such a desire mentioned only by yourself) so I can behave the way YOU want people to behave here. I suppose what I've said about some old trolls here is true, the ammount of posts by some user is not related to their quality, and your 400+ posts against my 6000+ indicate on how you are 12 times more focused on proper replies and meaningful conversations than I am.

Lord Phillock, don't take anything I've said as personal. I was only commenting on how the lack of activity on the SW community, along with a feeling of desperation due to the recent actions taken by Lucasfilm, have thrown ourselves into making simple games to keep the activities going. But maybe all that meaning behind the *sigh* comment I did was not clear enough.

It's kinda like whan I say that I should use a laugh track here so that some members of this forum may realize when I'm doing a joke or not. I suppose all these years of canned laugh sitcons have messed with their definition of humor. Well, some people have their own definitions of what communication is.

The propaganda would also warn that American soldiers have greased their bullets with pork fat. We could tell them, while we're at it, that we've ordered special pigskin-lined fatigues for this mission.


Kinda like Dr. Strangelove, eh?

"Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream."

That news story has GOT to be a joke. I cannot belive a serious journalist would write that. Not even Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh would be capable of that... hmn... on a second thought...
