Could we get any previews?

The Omen 3: I remember that being good,

Before Midnight: Already been mentioned.

Red Dragon: Not as good as Silence of the Lambs, but leagues better than Hannibal or Hannibal Rising.

Best Movie:

Worst Movie:

Owen’s giving me some Alfie Allen vibes.

After seeing Ender (Anakin Starkiller) make pretty decent use of Ebsynth to recolour walls in footage he shot, I decided to have a go at recolouring Obi-Wan’s robes in some shots from RotS:

Those are after he meets the gang tho. We don’t see anything of Anakin before meeting the gang. With Luke, you know his story before meeting Obiwan.

In ANH we see the world up until that point through the eyes of R2 and 3PO. We learn who Luke is through them.

In TPM we see the world up until the Tattooine arc exclusively through the eyes of Qui-Gon and co.

The only difference is the amount of time it takes for us to meet Anakin - perhaps that’s what you’re pointing out. If Obi-Wan were the POV in the first act of ANH, then maybe it would be comparable. If Anakin were the most interesting character in the film with a more prominent role, then having him show up so late would be an issue.

All my opinion, obviously.

Welcome to the family, stickydixon!

Holy shit! Not until you were 13! I had a close call with a bunch of them when I was 5…

That’d suck. I grew up near Melbourne and My family would only ever go leave Victoria to go to the gold coast for holidays. So I never really was in proximity to proper Aussie wildlife.

Magpies suck, spiders scare me, 90% of the country is too hot 90% of the time. I first saw kangaroos at a school camp when I was thirteen. The next time was at a caravan park where one got within five yards of me - a rather scary experience.

I oscillate between thinking that the stereotypes of Australia and the seemingly alien perception of the place by Americans and others is entirely bullshit and thinking that Australia really is an insane place. I suspect neither is really true/

Replace Anakin’s force ghost with this hockey player named Hayden Shaw.

Old el Paso would be pleased.

Daenerys’ Arrival at Dragonstone rescored with Elliot Goldenthal’s phenomenal “Titus Victorious”:

Also recoloured, rescored, and resounded! Also sharpened and with noise added - yes I have a crutch, leave me alone.

Hmmmm. Not sure what qualifies as NSFW. I did try to make it pretty pg as per cinema standards. No nudity, thrusting, etc. Also can try to make it more suggestive.

I once got warned by a mod for posting a gif of Patrick Bateman thrusting during a sex scene - the shot only showing Chris Bale’s face and upper torso, Admittedly it was off-topic - I assume the main offence - but I did also get asked to keep it SFW.

Was just unsure about things. Trying to err on the side of caution.

I feel like this should be a separate thread.

Why? Does it not fall under “Radical Redux Ideas”? haha Or just too controversial on its own? Theres no nudity

As much as the idea is “Radical!” and it does intrigue me, I’m not sure about the NSFW nature of it and how distinctly NSFW it is in comparison with the rest of the thread. I don’t know, I suppose that’s up to the mods.

Good stuff, though!

No light or sound. Anywhere.

Replace Yoda with prequel CGI Yoda in Empire for continuity

Waiting for the inevitable post from Anakin Starkiller saying this is actually a great idea…

I could dig it.

Thanks.
I will confess that I thought so too. My reasoning for the colour was because of the fact the scene is meant to be glum and on a rainy day. The noise is - I assume - worse than intended due to google drive compression.
Alas, there will be tweaking if I keep working on it.

PS. I have indeed noticed that all my edits are too damned dark and grainy. That I should work on.

What if Friends had no laugh-track and was an ounce more serious and was a movie?

A sample of what that might be like:

As the ending celebration of TRoS fades to black, one person’s head explodes with barely any time to register what’s happening because it already started fading out.

You’ve mentioned exploding heads on this thread before. Did that happen in one of the special editions and I just forgot about it?

StarkillerAG said:

Nope, he just likes exploding heads.

Hal, buddy, if we don’t get a “Custom Extra-Special-Exploding-Head Edition” from you I’m going to be really disappointed.

Anakin Starkiller said:

Tartakovsky Clone Wars will stand out like a sore thumb, though.

Seeing as people already are using the CG Clone Wars eyesore alongside the ‘live-action’ prequels, it probably wouldn’t be that much of a stretch.

Could I be a pain to anyone who has a copy of the Japanese dubs, and request the audio for ESB, RotJ, AotC, and RotS?

Similar stuff has been done before and done better, but it was fun trying to make it look half decent - not that I think I succeeded: https://streamable.com/qwz4wm

Aliens (1986) edited to match the original film tonally, musically, and visually.

Chase Adams said:

That’s honestly what it feels like during those ‘vision’ sequences in TROS.

Oh…

Mustafar establishing shots:

Oh, no…

Chase Adams said:

with VERY clear emphasis on the fact that the footage is repurposed from the other films.

With specific film and timestamp overlaying the centre of the screen. “ATTACK OF THE CLONES: 00:23:04 (2002 - THEATRICAL RELEASE)”

Anakin doesn’t waste time

Something about Anakin just calling him “Windu” gives me much joy.

I love that.
