What's with the big blue ....thing?

It seems pretty obvious to me that halfway through the paragraph, she changed her mind about when Luke should learn Nellith's name.

I still don't understand why people would want the older quality versions when the better versions are on Blu-Ray now.  The tapes are still out there if you want to see the earlier versions.  If an artist puts his name on something he wants it to represent his original vision because he has to answer to criticism of that art. Then everybody calls you a terrible person for it.

"Better" is a very subjective term. Not everyone thinks that the modern effects and other changes are better.

2) You can't choose an entire series of movies (i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.) Pick ONE movie from that series. (exception: The Lord of the Rings)

Under what criteria does LOTR get exemption?

 

It was filmed as a single film. By that logic, the Matrix sequels are one film.

"The Muppet Movie"

I've been seeing a lot of AT-AT replacement work in ESBR. How much of the original walker effects are intact? Most or all of the close-up walker vs speeder action?

Chroma-shift too?

I'm not a religious person, so religious allegories and symbolism mean nothing to me.

In film class, a teacher would point out during a movie, "Note the Christ-like imagery," and I would just shrug while teacher oohed and ahhed.

It just seems lazy to me; a crutch.  A director's story isn't strong enough on its own, so let's invoke Jesus.  That makes it deep.

If I wanted to watch a movie about Jesus, I'd watch Passion of the Christ or something.

I hope this post doesn't offend anyone; it's not intended as such.

What if the allusions had been to ancient myths or some other religion?

Yeah, I'm sorry I mentioned it.

If it included the missed grappling hook throw, it would be from an alternate universe...

I will be in Annapolis Aug 31-Sep 2.  But I won't have a car.

Guys, guys, I also live in Maryland.

I really can't believe they would actually replace it... it wouldn't make it any better and it would create a serious backslash from the public.

You just described the results of the alterations that's been done so far. ;)

Hardly. Most people don't care.

Remember that, if the screenshot is from ESB, the interior cockpit set was too big to fit into the exterior model.

Oh wow, with the different-plastic bottom. I haven't seen those in years.

Saying "Quite possibly Ridley Scotts worst.." and following up with a list of 7 movies of he directed only two, is a little strange.

Invited.

It's almost like we need a New Members Guide or something.

The next Batman movie should be written by Damon Lindelof and directed by M Night Shyamalan

But what would the big twist be? Answers to questions?!

Huh.  I thought Gold Leader was "Hutch."

Well...

Wookieepedia said:

There is a controversy surrounding Jon Vander's nickname. Cards of Star Wars Customizable Card Game and Star Wars Trading Card Game as well as an official action figure of him name him "Dutch", while the actual line of Gold Five in both Episode IV DVD subtitles and Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays is spelled as "Hutch" (which is also what many fans claim to hear). Until further clarification the exact spelling remains unclear.

I don't think you understand what this thread is about.

Yeah, almost as if Lucas wasn't the director.

Oh wait

That was really fantastic.

Also, I love penguino's idea.

Are you guys really making a 35mm print? How is it possible? It's a dream coming true!

Scanning them, not making.

I'm guessing that, when it was originally built, it was white. Give it time and it'll be back to that familiar color.

I gotta say, that's pretty great looking.

Of course, the really important question...

Will there be wipes between scenes?
