IDK …I was almost willing to give HIM a second chance , until his analogy equating people with down syndrome to having a lack of empathy …having once worked closely with clients in a group home who had down syndrome , all I can say now is Fuck him man .
I have a 1977 Burger King glass with artwork of R2-D2 and C-3PO on it , I know that Burger Chef had A promotion for posters that had the same artwork that was on the glasses . I was always under the impression that Burger Chef later Became Burger King ( I live in the United States by the way ) and that is why the art is the same , but after talking with a friend , and doing a bit of research , it seems this is not the case and they were two separate entities . here is the Burger Chef commercial for the posters …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCez7mZP_ws and here is the Burger King commercial for the glasses …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCBUMErrxKI what baffles me is that I don’t remember seeing Star Wars promotions growing up in the 70’s and 80’s where the same artwork was used by different license holders . does any one have more info on this ?
Smokey And The Bandit is another movie I saw every week that summer. Huge fan.
Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen again;
cool . thank you for sharing , will have to check this out
Russ Heath, 91
Writer/artist of many DC war comics, and victim of Roy Lichtenstein.
wow , was just talking about Lichtenstein with my girlfriend after seeing a print at a restaurant , turns out Russ Heath was one of many victims , John Romita of Spiderman fame was another among many others …https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/comics-behind-roy-lichtenstein-180966994/
A little bit of Ralph McQuarrie never hurt anybody.

I signed in just to comment …this is freaking amazing !!!
I need to add this to my collection , it is criminal that I do not own a copy yet
nice to see Ahmed Best dealing with the toxicity he received by continuing to channel his feelings on the matter in a constructive way …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2QBlA6ORHQ
I agree that they are not protesting the anthem , this line of dialogue started and inflamed by the cheeto in chief is just part of the divide and conquer agenda
The issue with Metropolis is which of the many versions does one synch Pink Floyd to?
I’m surprised nobody has fanedited the Moroder version, (my introduction to the film in the 80’s, and still a favorite) adding in recovered lost footage and extending the songs.
is this the version you speak of ?..https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/rock-version-silent-film-classic-227317 if so , would love to get my hands on it .I first became aware of this film in art school when one of my teachers brought in a vhs tape for us to watch in an art history class . I love this film in any version .
Is there a list somewhere of the best silent films?
Do any of them pair well with Dark Side of the Moon?
regarding the 1927 Fritz Lang film Metropolis, this being a Star Wars site and the Robot Maria from it being a heavy design influence on C-3po …anyway , someone did set it to Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here album once and it was brilliant , but it has since been taken off of youtube …someone later set it to various Pink Floyd tracks , including Wish You Were Here , and that is available …

I have mixed feelings on this …I think it is great that the kid stands by his principles and that Mark Hamill gave a shout out to him and much love and respect , and I hope the ones who assaulted this kid are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law . I also think a better Jedi philosophy to follow is that of Yoda " A Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense , never for attack ." If it were my kid , I would make him aware of the real world martial arts influences on The Jedi , let him know that to defend yourself is perfectly ok , and enroll him in a martial art school to learn self defense .I’ts not the Jedi way to kill and maim , it is to defend oneself and others.

Are you going to go further? Very interesting to watch.
^ Thank you both , yeah , I may go further with it but will take some time to gather the clips and music etc . I will try to get something posted by this weekend , keep watching this thread for updates .
ESB is and always will be my favorite Star Wars movie . an experimental edit I made, using clips found online, to make an edit that follows the scene order of the comics adaptation as closely as possible while still throwing in some surprises .not meant to replace the original, but rather , intended to be a fun alternative way to watch for those who have seen the movie countless times . I am by no means a professional editor or even on par with a lot of creators here , I just wanted to see how these scenes flow together . This is a very crude edit , kind of like a rough cut assembly and I have used Jambe Davdar’s ESB alternate opening as it is the same as the opening for the original Marvel comics adaptation , as well as some stop motion clips that have the names of the creators on the clips .If I have not credited anyone or someone has a problem , let me know and I will take it down .The sound levels go up and down due to using various clips , so may be a bit jarring in some places .Anyway , this is something I wanted to see so I threw it together and thought I would share my love for the OT on the OT website …https://vimeo.com/286799980 this is the first ten minutes ( all I have done so far )

Hayden Christensen offers Kelly Marie Tran some advice on dealing with hateful fans (interviewer is tough to hear, might need to turn it up).
Nice to see him acknowledge that it’s a vocal minority rather than paint half the fandom with that brush.
Agreed , and it is nice to see her colleagues standing up for her .
Behold, puny earthlings…

Awesome ! I need a t-shirt with that poster on it . I also think I may vote for the Gremloid party .
Oh, that looks allready better, thanks for the link. And of course her appearance was pure fan service, you’re absolutly right about her being there making no sense. But I wasn’t questioning the plot 😉 Just please somone make Leia look real or just don’t show her. That would be a nice Special Edition one day 😃
you’re welcome
In a way , someone HAS attempted this …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=614we6ZaQ04 also , interesting choice for a young Leia , as for myself , I think Millie Bobbie Brown from Stranger things looks a lot like a very young Carrie Fisher and would be a good choice
and I clearly did not insist that anyone agree with anything , I actually encouraged others to start their own thread , several times,if they want to have a debate
wow , I go away for a day and come back to this . I said it several times and I will say it again , this is a place to stand up for those who have been harassed , not to debate whether or not they have been harassed . and I have repeatedly stated , as have the mods , that if you want to state your opposition , then feel free to start your own thread ,yet some people keep ignoring this , even to the point of being banned or locked out of the thread to prevent further derailment ,and then I see they are back again . Then I see disparaging remarks about this being a " safe space " ,I can’t see these behaviors as anything but harassment and it seems like some people are reinforcing the case that the issue indeed exists . If this is not toxicity , then I don’t know what is .
