I’ll take the 42nd Anniversary Thread for two reasons.

Someone start a thread to guess what those two reasons are.

I’m hoping if you take back this request, you can make the resulting thread unhappen.

These things only go in one direction.

Reason #42 you’ll never be a moderator.

Number 1 is that I’d never accept such an offer.

I should have said “Reason #42 you’ll never be offered the position of moderator.”

There ya go.

Well that’s tidy, isn’t it? Flunk admitted WHSHS without wxyx even having to say “WYSHS.” You guys are like Shinji at full bio-sync with Eva-One.

No.

'97 vs. '04 (and '11) - Your preference?
Time

Just to get this out of the way. I prefer the original Emperor because of nostalgia AND pacing. In the new Emperor scene Ian McDiarmid just sorta drags his dialogue and its just not one of his better performances. He speaks like he’s literally reading it straight off cue cards. Density mentions the old emperor sticks out like a sore thumb. Sorry I’m gonna have to say that about the new Emperor. The scene just drags now with the extended dialogue and McDiarmid’s rather overly monotone performance. It just looks like something that was shot in two or three takes with little to no motivation or rehearsal. Had they used the same dialogue as the original and McDiarmid perhaps reviewed the original and rehearsed it to get a better ]feel of the Emperor in that moment it may have been better. Granted the original is not much better either but due to nostalgia and pacing I choose it over the new one. I can’t fully blame McDiarmid since the extra dialogue was obviously not his choose but it hurts the scene. As far as how the Emperor looks, the new one was shot over 20 years later so obviously you can’t fully replicate the Emperor’s original look and for that reason I’m willing to accept it.

This is my opinion as well.

I guess that could be true, because someone else might have used The New Thread Thread, I would have advised against making this thread, and they would have listened.

If you made this thread, nobody would wine about it.

That’s probably true, but since HansiG’s gone we need someone new to pick on 😛

Heh.

Can we all agree that my threads are at least twice as good as Wansi’s shit threads?

Yes, two times zero equals zero.

The pizza thread was pretty good 'tho.

Shame it had to end.

But, as with everything in life, if it’s true love, it’ll come back.

There are no rules, merely advice to help you avoid making stupid threads.

I disagree with how you are the only one who can provide advice to people.

And this isn’t a stupid thread. These threads were/are good ideas:

You want a HansiG, and you aren’t getting it.

Only two of those threads were good ideas.

I’m assuming you’re going to say Diversity was a bad idea.

And if this thread had came from anybody else, there wouldn’t be so much whining about it.

I rather enjoy not being able to ignore people because everyone gets exposed to more interesting opinions, but I do miss seeing who was butthurt about my posts.

Maybe Jay can add a feature where people can vote that they were butthurt about a certain post?

Or maybe should we have butthurt report thread or something?

Sounds good.

Thought this might appropriate for this thread:

Density said:

It would have been pretty ridiculous to see a 53 year old man try to play a baby.

Could incorporate it somehow into the edit!

And as Wook already pointed out, I pretty much did that already by using his voice over the shot of the baby.

Sorry, haven’t been keeping up with the thread.

Ditto, except for that last part. I know that everybody already just hate me for my posts.

Nah, too complicated. You’ll just get something like Reddit or Hacker News at that point.

What could happen? I’m betting on nothing because it’s another four years before Disney claims distribution rights on five of the six movies.

In reality this doesn’t matter. Disney could already have the restoration ready and they’re just waiting to hammer a deal with Fox.

Fox wants to make money. Disney wants to make money. If they can make money together, they’ll do it.
