Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Hey. New board.

Has anybody actually see the Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles the Movie movie?

It's on its way from Netflix to me. To show in my Caltech lounge. I need to know how much pain to prepare for.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I was sorry to read about your accident--if you're still sore tomorrow, see your doc

Thanks. So far, I'm good. My neck is sore, but it's been sore all week.

Lucas said the reason he made all the changes was because he finally had the resources to make the originals the way he would have if money and technology had been available back then.

My problem with that excuse is the changes that are completely unrelated to technological limitations. Such as Greedo firing first/at the same time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I do like the masses of stormtroopers rather than just a few in that one Han Solo scene. I dream of having copies of both the original version and the special edition and editing them together to my own satisfaction. That would rule.

The worst thing I can say about Episode 1 is that I thought it was over after the chariot race because it seemed like a whole lot of time had passed since it started at that point. I think I might own it on VHS, so I can't hate it that much.

The cantina scene is expanded. In the '97 release Lucas added some CG performers to the alien band, including at least one female singer/dancer. In addition, the blood has been erased from the moment when Obi-Wan cuts the lowlife's arm off (it having since become canon that lightsabers cauterize wounds).

You're thinking of the scene in Jabba's palace in Jedi. There's no singing or dancing in the Cantina, just the band playing.

The arm looked pretty bloody when I watched my DVD the other day. Though it's possible Lucas changed things back for whatever reason.

Just finished watching the DVD of Jedi. Whee. I so needed a ghostly Hayden Christensen looking smug with bad 70's hair to complete my Star Wars experience. t /sarcasm

So, did he put back the "jub jub" song?

Um.

I thought the DVD's were supposed to be the same as the theatrical special editions?

edit - I guess not.

He digitally put Hayden in instead of "unknown actor" who was unmasked and ghost Annakin in Jedi. Why Annakin gets to be young again, but Obi-Wan doesn't get the Ewan treatment is.....well, who's a more classic actor I guess.

Yeah, that's what I was scratching my head about too. Just to clarify the original "unknown actor" is still mask-less Vader, though sans eyebrows. (Not implying you thought that wasn't the case, but your post could have been read either way.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't suppose anyone has a link to the jub jub song? </masochist>
