Recommendations for video and sound card (was: Line Audio recorder)
Time

You can use windows movie maker's narration feature. Import any image. Click show timeline. Put an image into the timeline expand it to whatever length you need. Start a narration recording with the appropriate input selected and, stop when done. This prompts you to save. You can just close out movie maker at this point or, cut out any additional bits by clicking to that point on the audio track and selecting split. Right click on the part you want deleted. Select delete. Then move the audio track to the beggining. Delete the image you used from the timeline. Save the resulting audio. Oh yeah narration feature is the mic icon.

Last web series/tv show seen
Time

So last web thing watched was Gaffer Tape's Valiant rant.

Last tv show episode is Star Trek TNG the Q robin hood type eppy. I like Q episodes. Though an interesting comment by Q is "had I known earlier I'de first appeared as a woman" Something like that. I think it's meant as a joke but, taking it seriously fuels so much Q/picard slashness in my head...

I don't know that you can everything else a remake/reboot/reimagining of Batman, just because the movie serial came first.   I'm not sure that movie serials count.


Well that's kind of getting into subjectivity. I mean most people "count" Keaton as the first Batman in movie form but, that's completely false. Adam West was the first Batman in theatrical movie distrubution. Whoever was Batman in Batman Dracula was first in a small exhibition in a museum. So who gets credit for the first?


 Does being first really matter? If Andy Warhol's Batman/Dracula hypothetically had been first, would it matter, since no one saw it? Would it make Burton's "Batman" a remake?

If something is a 'remake' doesn't it require a familiarity with the original on the part of the creator?

If there's a newly discovered film of "Green Lantern" from the 70s, does that make the new Green Lantern suddenly a 'remake?'


Well reguardless of Batman Dracula. To imply that Tim Burton & crew had no knowledge of the Adam West tv show and movie prior to production is just odd.

Oh, I meant no offense. I was merely placing the "silly" prior to your username in order to illicit internet banter in which an amity is created between us. On which the acknowledgement of such a thing only ment in jest is just understood. I apologize if it came across as any other way.

Just because a film features the same fictional character, is it a remake? The Batman serials's plots were in no way remade. The villian "The Wizard" never made another appearance in Batman films

Couldn't the 1960 Batman just as easily be a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">sequal</span> to the Batman serials of the 1940s? There's no major contradictions in story. Different cast and style, but so is "Batman and Robin" compared to "Batman Returns." Or are they <span style="text-decoration: underline;">just more Batman movies?</span>


The Wizard was in Batman and, Robin not Batman 1943. Dr Daka was the villian in the first serial. As for contradictions in story(43 vs. 66) I don't know, haven't seen the original serials yet.

I used the catch-all "remake/reboot/reimagining" for a reason. Afterall, 2nd BSG counts as a reboot/reimagining but, there's no Count Ibilis, Imperious Leader, or robo dog on board Galactica.

<short post> Execution is key. </short post>

All in all what matters is that it's good and, entertaining. For example I hold the first two seasons of 2nd BSG to be fantastic, engaging, intriguing, awesome television. Conversly it's last two seasons and, spin-off were bad in my oppinion. I've given the original BSG a few chances but, it was in my oppinion just a tad better then what 2nd BSG had become in latter seasons. However mostly unwatchable due to (for lack of a better description) being uncomfortable to sit through.

Since Batman's been brought up essentialy, Batman's been remade far more then is commonily realized. Batman & Robin (Robert Lowery) 1949, Batman Dracula 1964, Batman tv series/feature film (Adam West)1966, Batman Fights Dracula 1967, Batman (Michael Keaton) 1989, Alyas Batman en Robin (Joey de Leon) 1991, Batman Returns (Keaton) 1992, Batman the animated series (Kevin Conroy) 1992, Batman Forever (Val Kilmer) 1995, Batman & Robin (George Clooney) 1997, Batman: Dead End (Clark Bartram) 2003, Batman Begins (Chrstian Bale) 2005, ... you get the picture. Yes I realized I included a fan film but, whatever. In the end there's still just one original Batman preceeding all of those Batman (Lewis Wilson) 1943. So if you like any other Batman other then Lewis Wilson's your liking a remake/reboot/reimagining of Batman. Since he got the first onscreen appearance of the Dark Knight.

Can the story of the prequels be fit into only three films?
Time

In my oppinion Anakin should've always been a ladies man. The way I envision Luke and, Leia's mom was that she was just a worker for the Queen (on Alderaan) that was one of many woman Anakin slept with. Then during an attack on the place she can only get one kid(by this time the kids are like two years old). She gets Luke but, Leia's off elsewhere. She flees with Obiwan to Degobah. (She and Obiwan were friends prior to Anakin and, Obiwan's friendship) With Owen and, Beru they all flee to Degobah. Tragically the mom suffered an injury during the attack and, died. Fearfull for tramatizing memories Yoda absolves Luke of the memory of his Mom. Luke, Ben, Owen, and Beru go to Tattooine (a place not seen 'till this moment) to hide. The Queen finds Leia takes her as her own.


...As for fitting those events into three films... I don't know just wanted to post my idea for Luke and, Leia's Mom.

Also for the most part Anakin and, Luke & Leia's Mom don't speak to eachother after they spent the night together. It was mainly just a one night stand.

Bat surely my dear my chuckles didn't plant the notion of a Chuck post and thread into your head did they?


LOL, no I made the Chuck thread last year. I just jumped the gun and posted in random thoughts then, recalled I had already posted a thread. So bumped it.

Wouldn't it be funny if we all had something from that picture and we could assemble them together and then take a photo and send it back in time creating a ontological paradox that ripped the universe to shreds?

 


Yes! Let's make that bootstrap paradox!!! I got pens!!!! ( like in Chuck's pocket )

What's wrong with BSG's 1st season DVD blurb?


Taking it completely litterally it says 100 years of war before the destruction. Which is completely untrue by just the first few moments in the pilot. It was about a day of bombs which caused people to flee. After a 40 year period of peace. Taken metaphorically like saying the initial Cylon war started 100 years prior is still false. Caprica a BSG prequel takes place 58 years prior and, they weren't in the midst of war then. They didn't even have a working Cylon. Even poetically I doubt they'd call a war that at most could've lasted 16 years a hundred-year war.

Funny enough, I had intended my post to be in jest and not to be taken seriously. But as is the case with everything online, someone with way too much time on their hands went and took what I said seriously and, in an attempt to belittle my ego as being without worth while trying to build themselves up to be an intellectual demigod on the subject, wrote a banal post scrutinizing my previous post word-for-freaking-word.

Hmm, You know what? I think I'll give that a try as well. :P

twooffour has yet to see the importance of ":P".


Hm I wonder when the thread title will need to shorten "review" to "rev" for future additions....
