ST Get In Line - A Social Countdown to Episode VII

The movie is priceless.

I'm surprised you've survived this long without having seen it. Most people would have died by now.

 

Just remember that it's very silly and doesn't worry about things like plot holes, logic or making sense. It's above such trivial notions.

 

No horse ****.

 

I've seen a handful of John Carpenter films... Big Trouble in Little China isn't one of them.

 

Speaking of Carpenter, my favorite films of his (it's a tie):

That's not how you spell The Thing!

 

I haven't seen it.

 

Never seen The Thing?



That's a paddlin'

 

And what if I enjoy the paddlin'?

 

I have absolutely no idea what I've just unleashed upon this world. All I'm sure about is the world is not ready for it.

 

I do what I can around here.

 

I'd agree with that. A lot of people seem to forget that Star Wars was a Frankenstein's monster built from all different kinds of source material. And there's nothing wrong with doing that either.

 

So, today I tried to watch the OOT for the first time ever, by way of the 2006 Bonus Discs. I made it 11 minutes before I had to shut it off and put in the SEs. It just isn't visually appealing. At all. The footage is grainy and looks like crap, and everything is just wrong, compared to the SE cuts I'm used to. While I can see why people like that cut, it's really not for me.

So, yeah. My execution date is August 17th. I've opted for a firing squad, rather than a forced viewing of the Holiday Special.

 

I've got the VHS set (pan & scan) of the '95 OOT release, and I have/keep it for sentimental value. But like you, despite its faults, I much prefer the Special Editions, in particular the 2000 VHS release (first time I'd ever seen the OT in Widescreen) & the '04 DVD release.
