Can you see this now?

I now can see the gif in Leonardo's post, too.
Guess you can "activate" the page by visiting it?

LOL!

Isn't that like a forum bug or something?

Oh SNAP...

this could come in handy.

(cue somebody using it on me)

So that post has no pics at all?

I don't remember seeing any "expired" hotlinks from others here, though... hmm...

So here's that GIF without the hotlinking:

:P

Well then, I've actually looked at the thread where you did this remark last time from another computer (somewhere else), and it worked fine.

Guess it's your country or whatever...

Heh, he likes to dish it out...

No, you are!

No, Frink is.

Whenever I post something on a random topic, even with the slightest bit of "argument" against someone else, he's all too glad to burst in and post some stupid dancing gif, or wittily remark how I'm smarter than everyone or crap like that.

He just can't let it go.

*sigh*

Heh, Frink's missing the old flamewars and just has to try bringing them in all the time... lol.

OT.com pro tip: Don't bother "discussing" anything WITH "twooffour."  HIS opinions "are" FACT.

1. And there again you attempt a silly parody by putting random words in quotes and capitals.
I only use them when it makes sense to do so. You aren't being sharp or funny, just stupid. Drop it.

2. Haven't I shown a couple of weeks ago that I have a better grasp of what "opinion" and "fact" mean, than lots of other people on this board? Ask CP35, he knows.


3. It's pretty amusing to think that, under different circumstances, you also would've mentioned that ESB had the least influence from Lucas, because that's a well established FACT agreed to by everyone on this community.

You only question it, or try to pass it as some kind of "opinion", because I said it.
No opportunity left out to invade an on-topic conversation with your personal grudges, eh?

How childish. How hypocritical. You simply FAIL.

@twooffour: My point is that extensive use of special effects and "superjumping-awesome-ninja-jedi" -  which is what Aluminum Falcon seems to have wanted for ROTJ - make Star Wars worse, not better.

Yes, but then you went on to talk about the "silly exaggerated force" in the same wake.

I'm not saying that keeping the Force more fleeting and subtle as it was in IV (basically limited to instincts, mental influence and disappearing when you've been killed - now while that's way more awesome than throwing stuff around, it's also more mystical and magical and less "cool superhero stuff") would've necessarily been a bad idea.

Hmm... perhaps the most glaring thing of ROTJ to me about the movie is its lack of grandeur and its wholly inconsistent tone.

I probably would have made Endor a far more exotic planet, maybe filled with unearthly plants... It wouldn't look like Earth's forests.

An aesthetic change I'd make is having Luke have a red lightsaber and Darth Vader have a blue light saber, having retrieved his old lightsaber from the duel on Cloud City. It would be like the "Revenge" poster and also hint at a change in the two characters. Vader going back too good and Luke possibly falling to the Dark Side. It would enhance the reverse symbolism greatly in the end duel... speaking of duels,

Another thing I would have is a double-duel between Obi-Wan and the Emperor and Vader and Luke. As in the early drafts, Obi-Wan would have been resurrected back in the flesh with more power than Vader imagined... equal if not better to the Emperor. The Vader and Luke duel would be lightsabers, as in the movie. On the other hand, the other duel would be using the force... going as far as to shift the environment with the force. It would be somewhat like Scanners...

Speaking of Scanners, I think that ROTJ could have used a better director to fix the wholly inconsistent tone. It would have been nice to have either Croenberg or Spielberg. Croenberg could have provided a much more cerebral ending, while Spielberg could focus on the "family" aspect of the movie, since it's a recurring theme of his movies

I'm sorry my man, but all these ideas are terrible. The irony is that they sound like something that post-1990 George Lucas would approve of. Shifting the environment with the force? Really? Sometimes less is more and The force works much better as a concept when it is something subtle - but that went out the door with ESB.

... a movie where Lucas had very little impact on during its production.

Fail.

It may shock you to learn that not everyone, even those who despise the prequels, believes ESB to be the best of the Star Wars films.

Yea, but everyone knows that it was done by Kershner and Lucas preferred to stay out for the most part, and you said something about post-1990 Lucas.

Imagine how it'd be if they remade that awesome Spanish film "Open Your Eyes" and made the jealous lover character a blonde... she'd probably be played by Cameron Diaz or something... uggh.

Vanilla Sky was awesome, you're terrible.

Ugh, no.  Vanilla Sky was terrible.  And I'm not just saying that because it's a remake - I quite like both Let the Right One In and the English-language remake (Let Me In).

But Vanilla Sky is vastly inferior to Open Your Eyes.

Yea. I mean, Tom Cruise is being Tom Cruise and he's fun, and I guess I kinda liked the fact that the "tech support guy" looked like a company salesman (or maybe mormon missionary) instead of an older "mentor" type (who looked like Caesar, though, so he wins) - but it was way too smooth and white-washed, and some of the shocking, gritty scenes from the original were just cut out (or replaced by something lame).

Do not want.

But then they'd make Hurley a French or something, and we wouldn't get his pop culture gags!!

Um, which is why I said that it was probably due to his deficiencies as a director... Geez, do you even read my posts, or do you just look for the first thing you can bitch at me about?

The "deleted" scene is hilarious I'm wondering when it was shot.

I don't know, but the actor who played Jacob was announced to have been taken on board for the ending of season 5.
And they were referencing season 6 events all the time. So pretty sure it was shot somewhere during that, of after.

The possibly that it was shot during season 1 is as probable as the crocoduck, LOL.

The ending of A2A is almost as bad as the ending to the American LOM (though I really liked the series itself).

Um, I've just read the synopsis, but it sounded pretty awesome.
He's in the imaginary world again and chooses to "tune out" the truth and the doctor... he's now in his other reality with his girlfriend or something... but then someone comes along and switches off the screen!

Ain't that cool?
