I got a hair cut today and it looks fine but my hair never really looks right until it grows in enough to curl, so I am stuck waiting a month for my hair to grow out again, until then I will look a little silly.

Why can't we just find a way to program hair to grow to a certain point and then stop growing?  That would solve so many problems.
It already does that but it's like 6 months worth of growth instead of a more reasonable amount of time where you wouldn't need a haircut anymore.

Worst Dialogue Cliche
Time

Problem happens all episode then a conversation about something seemingly irrelevant but one word in the conversation sets the pieces together.

"Oh you know there was a baseball game on last night."
"Oh neat what happened?"
"It was a no hitter"
"'No hitter' you say?"
"Yeah, it was I was so..."
"That's it! They weren't hit at all! They did it to themselves!"
"..."
"All their wounds were self-inflicted! It all makes sense now!"
"..."

The differences between those two versions would be so insignificant as to not even be a viable option. I mean if you're going to have the OT really restored with matte lines and everything. Then some other version where the only difference is that the effects were digitally composited. It's really such a small difference that it's barely worth it to put it there. If there are options they'll probably be one of the SEs.


The problem is though that people -- in general -- don't like the SEs. They like the sleek look, but the nonsense changes and fake CGI have alienated many long-time fans as well as turned off potential new fans. If Disney sticks with the SEs, they are providing an inferior product and not maximizing what they've got.

The two versions I described might not seem that different, but fans have "sticky" tastes. Small differences can mean a lot.

The best approach for Disney is to provide an official version:

1) "cleaned up" OT

2) along with OOT (what everyone here wants)



And also provide the SE's as Lucas's director's cut.



Then everyone is happy, including everyone here who wants the OOT.
I seriously doubt that they're going to waste time or energy putting together a new slightly different special edition version just because of any reasoning you might have. If they're going to restore the originals and put them out for sale just having another "no mattes" special edition on the disc that absolutely no one but you seems to be asking for would just be a big "why?" moment. You may not like the SEs, I may not like the SEs, but they do have their fans and many more people that would want that. So it only makes sense that if there's any other version whatsoever on the release that it's going to be one of the SEs.

I'll just ask who else do you know of is asking for the kind of Star Wars special edition you're describing wherein they've only taken out the mattes?

Yes, I think people will care. Most people want to see the original films, but enhanced for modern home theater entertainment purposes. What Disney should do is release an OOT set with with two options for each film:



1) Cleaned up OOT ... basically what the SE versions should have been all along. No Greedo shooting. No rock in front of R2. No CGI Jabba. No CGI inserts AT ALL. No Boba Fett mugging. No Luke screaming. No Jedi Rocks. No Hayden Ghost. etc. But with the new composite look above.



This is what I think most people want. Just an up-to-date modernized HD home viewing experience of the original movies.



2) OOT Theatrical Release



For the purists, who should absolutely have the option to watch the theatrical versions, matte lines and all.



Kind of like how the 2006 release had the SE as the feature and GOUT as an extra bonus, purists' best shot is to get a cleaned up OT as the feature with OOT as an added bonus. jmo

Episode VII: The Force Awakens - Discussion * <strong>SPOILER THREAD</strong> *

Has anyone well versed in Aurebesh tried to read what it says on the X-Wing pilot's vest? ;)
If you read it as it appears it means nothing. The letters aren't written correctly. The "F" for example is flipped horizontally and vertically. From what it appears(if you take the time to readjust the letters in your head) it says "RFN RRUP". Though there's some letters or letter that are in front of the initial "R" that I'm unsure about what it is.

So,.... I've been away from these boards for a few days... Been neglecting a few other things and utilizing poor time management choices. Well there's a reason for that. If you want to know why just post here and I'll pm you about it. Also if you want to chat with me in a chatroom post here and I'll pm you about it.

Ask the non-member of all churches AKA Interrogate the atheist
Time

So since the subject of evidence was brought up. I'll simply ask what evidence of God's existence would you atheists accept as proof of God? Something short of God actually appearing to you as proof. Something that you wouldn't deny. Like what would you accept that proves God's existence?

 I would expect something more accurate of a knonw-all supreme being, also there is a post made earlier that actually contradicts those claims of the earth being round in the bible and so on. We can still debate what the bible says about this matter but that is only because the claims come from interpretations and not actually stated facts like I would expect of a holly book.
Thing is language isn't exact unless it needs to be. For instance if we were in a room together, I pointed at something and said "Give that to me please." If it's not cluttered together with other stuff you're going to know exactly what I meant. Unless you're trying to be stubborn or a bit of a jerk and say something like "Nuh-uh you didn't say the object's name so I'm not giving the remote to you." As our society has gotten more complicated so has our communication and need for exact word choice. Plus the questions we ask today aren't the type of questions they would ask back then. Your expectations for the Bible to conform to your term specifications today are a bit like asking 'why didn't God just give everyone iPhones with Twitter and Facebook?' Such things weren't needed and the terms and specifications you're asking for today weren't needed back then as well.
