Reminds me of that South Park episode that spoofed Raiders of the Lost Ark.

We once suggested filming the documentary "Bowling for Coruscant", which would show what GL has done to the films in the special editions, and the whole fan reaction and such.

Yikes! Try removing it... How do you know you have a trojan horse at your computer? If your anti virus detected it, it should be able to remove it. If you found out by yourself, try looking at the symantec website, there are instructions for manual removal of thousands of virus, trojans and ads there...

I would like to refrain using my professional e-mail for forum registrations and such (although I can use it if necessary), and I belive some people have the same issue. Also, for every troll there would be 50 other good posters who would be forbidden of access to the forum. Besides, having a proper domain name e-mail is not that difficult, and those who want to troll around will still be able to. I say it's not a good idea, Jay...

I should clarify that I have "situational" anxiety. Meaning, I feel fine most of the time, until I...go to work. Or have to go to a social function. Or have to deal with my in-laws. That type of thing. I've never been diagnosed with fully-blown generalized anxiety.

It's more of a social anxiety then, right? I'm a bit like that too, but for other reasons (asperger's) .

Please do excuse me if I'm being inquisitive, or asking personal stuff you rather not discussed at an open forum, but what would be the difference between a workplace anxiety, and regular anxiety? Is it related and/or happens only to the workplace? (I too suffer from a few conditions, so I know how that is, belive me)

Ah, lemme ressucitate this thread for a while, yes?

Now, I KNOW it is against the forum rules to discuss torrents and other illegal ways of propagating piracy films, but since the turkish films such as turkish et, turkish star wars and turkish exorcist are VERY, VERY unavailable here, and I really wanted to see those films, I was wondering if there was any place I could get those. I've seen those on sale on "5 minutes to live" but after seeing their website, I don't really trust them to pay 20 bucks for each DVD. So anyone got any clues of how can I get those? I am willing to send 15 bucks to the producers in turkey to compensate them, since there's absolutely no way of getting those films (if they still have a listed address, that is...!).

I tried to get that torrent trhough the website Ell the Ewok mentioned, but I was not able to sign up.

If such discussion is not allowed please let me know...

I guess no one knows about this, eh? Oh well... I know the way out...

According to Google, US$19.72.

But the problem is, this is a country where famine is a real problem, where 60% of the people live with US$100 dollars a month or less. Also, you can find a chinese or russian made bootleg easily for US$5.00, I spoted one for ROTS two days before the movied opened! People here don't tend to think that piracy is wrong because it's a crime with no victims, at least no real, tangible victims, they think they are saving R$40.00 and making the billionaire movie industry a bit poor. This mentality is slowly changing, though. The videogame industry is slowly pushing its way to get less taxes and more acceptance between consumers who reject pirate products (such as myself), and the sales of DVDs has been waaaay higher than VHS sale (and back on the VHS era, movie piracy was absolutely non-existent here).

Blaming the piracy for the downfall of the movie business (or, at least, for the lack of profit they actually expected) is totally wrong. There are three main factors involved in this: Hollywood ONLY produces crap, good films are badly distributed on porpouse, and the internet is taking audiences away, NOT through piracy, but because people prefer stay at home and play on their computers and chat and watch dvds instead of going to the movie theater.

I would like to think that the reason for piracy would be unavailability, but that's just not the case.

Well, for some reason, I always thought that piracy due to prices were a problem of second and third world countries, specially China and Brazil, not in the US. Now, DVDs are very high priced if you compare to prices of other stuff in Brazil. I also know people who belive that buying bootlegs are better because you're gonna spend R$20.00 less than on the original stuff, but I don't think like this, and this sort of mentality is slowly dropping here, for some cultural and economical reasons. I've never bought a pirate CD or DVD, and I admitt having downloaded films, but only those completely unavailable, like the O-OT or the turkish films (please see my post on general star wars!

)

If I feel a movie is good enough to be bought, I do. I had seen Fight Club several times and I bought the DVD nonetheless. People buy DVDs. Internet movie piracy only happens for movies that are unavailable on their country, like "Battle Royale". The piracy is more common here in Brazil through two other factors: movies being delayed and unproperly distributed ("Kill Bil vol 1" was delayed for almost an year and shown in few screens due to admitted incompetence by the local distributor, Woody Allen films usually take 1 to 2 years to get here, and shown on 5 screens over 2 weeks), or the price of DVDs lately. A good DVD may cost up to R$45.00 (fourty five reais), in a country where the minimum monthly wage is less than R$300.00. This is due to over-taxation of electronic products such as videogames and DVDs.

I just went on the AFI site and saw that Star Wars had been named greatest film score ever. However, Empire, for whatever reason, did not qualify. That's pretty lame IMO. People can argue its a sequel, so it uses recycled themes and doesnt' count. But almost all the major themes in this film were brand spaning new. I bet most of the people who voted for Star Wars think the Imperial March was in that film. No seriously!

Sorry, AFI, but your lists are jokes.

Maybe they considered Star Wars as a whole, including all the films.

That is interesting. I wonder what would George Lucas be directing if he never had filmed Star Wars (because if Star Wars had floped, he would be directing porn or infomertials)

1- Too much crap on theaters.
2- Opposed to what movie studios think, people are not getting dumber, although their films are.
3- DVD players got cheaper, most people now can afford a cheap DVD player.
4- People are too busy to go to the movie theaters.
5- Internet is taking away young audiences from TV and movies - they rather play Doom than watch it.
6- Tickets are too expensive... And have you tried buying popcorn nowadays? What happened to the 50 cent popcorn bag?

I am a huge Marx brothers fan, specially Groucho.

"One day I shot an elephant on my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas, I'll never know."

"This report is so simple even a child of five can understand it! Fetch me a child of five."

"We don't have time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them made. Get tranches this high (points to waist) and our soldiers won't have to wear trousers. On a second thought, get them this high (points to neck) and our soldiers won't need uniforms. Better yet, get them this high (points to above his head) and we won't need any soldiers!"

(as a hotel clerk)
"What? Ice on room 84? Really? Where did you find it? Ohhh, you want some!"

One day, while Groucho was performing on vaudeville, Harpo got into the middle of the performance, following a screaming woman, just to disturb Groucho's performance. Groucho just picked up his pocket clock and said "The three fifteen is right on time."
