I belive the best take on this would be to match Clive's performance with Ian's, keeping Clive's audio but having Ian's image there. I mean, Palpatine has changed voice so many times (in ROTS he changes his voice 10 times in a single scene), so it won't matter.

THE Most Awesome Scene in Star Wars

Yoda closing his eyes, moving his hand, and getting the X-wing out of the swamp, that's the best scene of them all.

If you want it by movie:

SW: Battle of Yavin, when the music stops and they get to the death start corridor. Most specifically, when Vader says "close up formation" and we see the ships passing by.

ESB: see above.

ROTJ: Luke atacking Vader after he talks about his sister.


And of course, why should we forget about the prequels.

TPM, AOTC: the closing credits. Wheew, that's over...

ROTS: laste minute before the closing credits. Aaaand... the credits.

Ooh, yeah, totally remember that, and totally hated it. I don't think I ever got past the lava monster boss inside the sandcrawler.


I did finish Super Star Wars, after lots of screaming and cursing. Now, you guys can say all you want, but boy that game sucked. Games aren't supposed to be infuriating and frustrating like that! And I don't remember a scene from Star Wars in which Luke had to kill EVERY SINGLE THING THAT MOVED in the cantina, shooting 5 times a second!

Never played the other games, SESB and SROTJ. Don't really want to. SSW was traumatic enough.

There was a CD released as a spoof for Silence of the Lambs, being a Silence of the Lambs musical. It was posted here a some months ago. My favorite song, as I recall, was "Put the f***ing lotion in the basket".

That's right. There's an US cut, which is longer than the "rest of the world" cut. Oh well, we got our revenge for "Eyes Wide Shut", the US version is censored.

But he was talking about the original ending, in which Danny and his mother are told that they were not able to find Jack's corpse, and the hotel owner comes to Danny and give him that ball that appeared mysteriously in the hotel. Then, it cuts to the picture in the wall, but with a longer shot of that. This ending was on the original theatrical release, but cut by Kubrick from all later releases. It is still around, I belive it is possible to find it.

I know it's hard
Other kids can be so mean,
that dosen't mean you have to mix up some nitroglicerine

Everybody's been to this
We all wanted to blow the world to bits
But couldn't you've just listened to The Smiths
Don't blow you your school
Don't blow you your school

I'm gonna make bracelets with the letters
D.B.U.Y.S.
That way you still can have a constant reminder
On how not to deal with stress
Find some people you can trust
Express your feelings and disgust
Or play guitar like the rest of us
Just don't blow you your school
Don't blow you your school
Don't blow you your school!

Wow, coincidence, I was just listening to a song that goes like this:


If your day is going kinda bad
Don't blow up your school
If something's got you kind of sad
Don't blow up your school
I know you wanna make your classmates pay
But violence is not the way
You're ruinning it for the NRA
Don't blow up your school
Don't blow up your school

If the other kids are teasing you
Don't blow up your school
There's other things that you can do
Than blowing up your school
Find some place where you can hang
Somewhere where you can do your thing
Join a club, hell, join a gang
Just don't blow up your school
Don't blow up your school

The DVD release has those scenes on the extras. It could also be used.

By the way, the extended ending for Shining was cut after the first theatrical release, and IS still around, although not included into the film anymore. It might be possible there is some rare LD edition with that scene, I don't know.

Cool. Would there happen to be any of this unseen footage in that?

Are you fucking stupid? Didn't Rik, who is something of a Kubrick/2001 expert (especially when compared to your newbie ass) just said that everything is completely lost?


Hey, easy...

While everything is lost, there is always hope that, someday, someone MIGHT find a copy of the trims in usable condition, although I doubt it. There was a rumor that Kubrick had some rushes footage which contained some of the lost footage, but aparently it is either lost or completely deteriorated.

The interesting thing is that Kubrick issued instructions to a few theaters which already got copies of the movie, instructing them how to make those cuts, so they could show those while the new, officially edited copies didn't arrive. It has been discussed that some theaters could have kept some of those trims, but it is highly improbable. They would be in such a bad condition they wouldn't be usable, and theaters back then didn't kept those trims, as such procedure was common.

Officially, there are no copies at all. While the original print is preserved, it's the one we see today. There are very rare still photos of some of those scenes (Frank's preparation, Dave playing pantominos, more Dawn of Men scenes, Floyd taking the tour).

Ash595, this DVD seems to be very interesting. Does it adress the lost trims in any way?

Okay, okay, about this, let me get things clear.

When the initial release of 2001 was recieved poorly by critics, Kubrick decided to trim the movie in 20 minutes, and add a few things, to make it less confusing and faster. Very few people watched the movie on its original form, and there is absolutely NO existing copies of those trims today. Here is what he has taken out (as far as I can remember reading about):

* More scenes from Dawn of Men. The apes slowly get into that lake for the second time. On the current edit, the apes show up at the middle of the atack.

* More scenes on board of Discovery, showing Dave and Frank's life on the ship, including Dave playing on a blue-keyed piano. This cut is noticeable on the jump by the soundtrack (cuts exactly when Hal is shown).

* Frank preparing for his space walk.

* More scenes on the "bedroom". Dave walks around a bit more on the room while in his spacesuit, looking around. He picks up some food bars, and later notices a slipper at the bed (this is barely visible on the current edit). Then he moves towards the bathroom. If you watch the current edit, you'll see how he moves AWAY from the bathroom, and then, a moment later, he is walking towards it.

Here is what he added:

* Titles for Discovery 18 months later, and Jupter and beoynd the infinite.

* A small cut showing the black monolith when the ape is holding the bone, to show up the connection between the two.


Keep in mind that Kubrick shot TWO HOURS of film for every MINUTE shown on screen today, so there is a lot of material who didn't end up at the movie at all (Dave playing a psychedelic board game with Hal, Dr. Floyd doing a tour at the moon base, black and white interviews with scientists in today's New York City, the aliens, and so on)

Interesting transcript from online chat about George Lucas on how Empire turned out...
Link
https://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/159851/action/topic#159851
Time

(...)Why has Lucas not directed any non-"Star Wars" films since the first film came out?(...)

Because essentially he hates directing, and has only directed the first three prequels only because they necessitate little actual direction of actors, and far more attention paid to effects.(...)


OK, so, George? Why didn't you just stayed at home since 1983, with your billions of dollars? You don't have to work for a living anymore, you know? Did you know you own the RIGHTS for STAR WARS? That is a VERY profitable thing, you know? If you hated it so much, WHY destroy your career and your movie saga by directing it yourself, since you hate writing AND directing, and it's SCREENPLAY, DIRECTING and ACTING that makes a movie good, not ILM. The guys from ILM will NOT make a movie good. So you could have stayed at home, while someone talented could just have made the prequels.
