Happy B-Day to the best film, and best film series ever!!!

I'm wearing my anniversary sig and avi for the next week to show my support.


I think I'll go home after work and watch ANH on my bro-in-laws 50in. big screen.

(though I wish we were getting limited re-release to watch it on the big big screen.)

Ah well, when it turns 50 and I'm 44, I'll take my son to watch it on the big screen, just as my dad took me 10 years ago for the S.E.'s. cool


STARWARS IS FOREVER!

psst...

There's six of them. smile

Happy Anniversary! I still have childhood memories of A New Hope, watching it at my local drive-in in 1977...

I'm jealous of people in the L.A. area, who have the Convention Center for the big party. I haven't heard of anything major happening in Toronto.

He's not going to announce new movies. blink That's been debunked many times, and just here recently too. He'll announce the 2 TV shows everyone has known about for a couple years. no expression

BAH!

It's the Starwars saga, not trilogy.

Purists of what? A story that was unfinished?

It will always be the Star Wars trilogy to me. The PT will always be the Newer Star Wars Trilogy. They are 2 separate entities to me, not a complete saga because it just doesn't mesh well enough.

I know, I was just foolin' around. stick out tongue

That's cool, to each his own.

I'll celebrate the awesomeness of the OT and in particular agree with you that EMPIRE is the best SW film. thumb up


I just like the PT as well. smile

The PT is great, when viewed as something separate.

If denying reality keeps you happy, you're welcome to it. wink

General G
The watching of all six movies starts after I get off.

The reality is that the PT sucks ass compared to the OT. smile

~JP~
Well I wouldnt say that at all. While the PT was inferior to the OT, it hardly sucked ass.

~JP~
In honor of today:

The original ANH trailer

9gvqpFbRKtQ

queeq
THat was pretty good actually. very unlike the movies, but pretty good stuff.

General G
Haven't seen that trailer in a long time.

queeq
I have... it's still kinda odd.

General G
Why is it odd?

queeq
Because it's great but it's quite unlike the movie. It's much more Flash Gordony than ANH turned out to be. It relates much more to our universe, our world in a way... "a billion years in amaking" suggests it's about the future and stuff. While in the end it's a fairy tale.
And yet, it does the trick, it sells the film. Especially knowing that the effects shots in there were the only ones finished at the time. Movie magic, that's what it is.

General G
It selled and that was all that mattered.

*speaks more slowly*

...Compared to the OT...

General G
Yeah, but even still compared to the OT, it didn't 'suck ass.'

Yeah it did, pay closer attention. stick out tongue

~JP~
Er no it didnt in my opinion. I still enjoyed all 3 of the PT movies.

General G
^^^

Same.

How could you? You didn't watch them with me? sad

ADarksideJedi

Really good!jm

queeq
Post it. stick out tongue

JaehSkywalker

General G
Yeah, I was going to watch it, I was planning on it and then I completely forgot. sad

Heard about the show. sadly i don't live anywhere near there. Is it on youtube or something?

General G
What all did I miss?

queeq
All of it.

General G
What a shame.

queeq
Yup.

General G
Why didn't you tape it for me?

queeq
I have it on CD.

General G
Even better.

queeq
Well... yes, I guess.

General G
Why wouldn't it?

queeq
Because it's still VHS footage that was used.

General G
Don't you take care of your tapes? If you did, it wouldn't matter too much.

queeq
VHS resolution is a LOT worse than DVD.

General G
I have tried comparing many times, but never noticed a huge dramatic difference, it looks better, just not "Damn is that ever amazing" type of better.

Sith Master X
Try taping one of the Prequel's on TV and watching it back on VHS. The grain actually makes the animatics look a bit more real since the textures blend in more.

OMG... I heard about people like you. I never really believed people actually existed that can't see the difference between VHS and DVD. The difference is HUMUNGOUS.

As for PAL for instance (625 lines opposed to 550 or so with NTSC) VHS only uses something like 280 lines. DVD uses up to 420 or something. It is a LOT more crisp and clear than VHS which is fuzzy and grainy.

General G
I am one of a kind. wink

queeq
Which means you're blind?

General G
Nope, just think differently.

Alliance
Or don't think.

General G
But I do.

queeq
With half a brain?

General G
Nope, a full brain.

queeq
Full for a squirrel.

General G
It would crush the squirrel.

queeq
Oh... so killing a squirrel is allright with you.

General G
That was just a hypothetical thing, it could crush a squirrel, I would never do it though.

Alliance
CIS=NO MORALS

queeq
Why would a droid need morals?

Alliance
EXACTLY....but the CIS was more than the marching scrap heaps. GG is just a tool.

queeq
Yup.

Alliance
We are in agreement.

queeq
Terrible.

General G
We have plently morals.

queeq
Yuck.

Alliance
If by morals you mean no morals.

General G
Nope, I mean what I say.

Alliance
Except you never actually comprehend the full meaning of what you're saying.

General G
I always know what I am saying.
