The film isn't even saying that (as killing the past is reckless and prevents learning). It's saying have respect, but not be so slavish that you don't see the flaws and failures for what came before. Don't let it bind you to a destiny, and take what inspiration you can.

A lot of ppl are taking that Ren quote as being the thesis of the film.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbHUJEH-ERI This is pretty much how I see The Last Jedi.

Hmmmkay

I stopped counting when I stopped celebrating

yah

...something around 27?

lmao I'm something around 27 or so

Tom, are you in your 60s? The only Jethro I know is the one from NCIS!

I know they sound similar to you, but I actually love this band. They'll be releasing a remaster of their Heavy Horses in February, that's why the memory is so fresh

Awesome choice Tom ....

I'm waiting for you... but only few hours, not more!

Which reminds me of this great song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YymGJKhGgY

We're coming for you Andrea ..... muhahahahahahaha

To the ones who's living in the past: I live in the future, I live in the year 2018... hope to see you soon here

Happy New Year!

Happy New Years to everybody ... be safe and have fun if you're celebrating.

I was perfectly okay talking in the thread but then nobody here would see how proud Oogie is about how he made me pay a price about blowing off steam. That is why he posted it in chat and not the thread. He's looking to be congratulated for striking down the evil me, lol.

Happy New Year to the fanres community!

It does indeed Synnove.

This whole exchange comes across as asinine to your average 3rd party observer

I hope your pleasure pie was worth it. Now maybe they'll see your worth and promote you to admin for such a wasted burn.

For the record, you cannot say something behind someone's back when your option to respond personally has been taken away, for no good reason. You actually could have posted in the thread you gleaned the info from instead of posting here.

Of course it is.

my pleasure

Well then, I guess I owe you a hearty thank you for adding your two cents, Thanks Oogie. So kind of you to help me out.

okay jetrell, i cant respond to your pm as you have me on an ignore list, so you basically only leave me here, yes I did tell Vinnie what you said here, you said it behind their back and openly doing what you do. you do have the right to say what you want to say, but understand that there is no such thing as free speech, everything has a cost, one i made sure you paid, I hope that was clear enough for you. Have a Happy New Year

So I've a rip of the Star Trek TMP SLV japanese laserdisc that includes the PCM audio track. Also have a rip of Koyaanisqatsi's LD track. Whats the preferred upload place?

Such nice sentiments from some really nice members ... thanks guys.

Question for Aussies and Star Wars enthusiasts, I was reading this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_Int...orporation (partially taking it with a grain of salt) and saw that CIC had a joint venture with 20th Century Fox and Buena Vista/Disney back in the 70s. If this is true, I wonder if anyone saw Aussie prints of Star Wars having the CIC logo before the memorable Fox/Lucasfilm tag?

Fair enough.

It's a collector's forum, their rules. I'm not sure how it would be bad for collectors. Anyway you don't have to post anything and then no one will ever know who you are haha.

If it wasn't for the random people you'd be talking to yourself lol

Well I did end up using my real name, but I think it's irresponsible towards the users. Why should some random people on the internet know my identity? I see why a seller needs to know who I am, to send the package, but there's no reasonable need to expose who I am in general. Even if they wanted to identify who I am, they could make a separate name field besides the display name

@TomArrow why does that seem wrong? If you use an alias and they find out (which will probably happen the first time you use PayPal to buy a print) you will get kicked off the forum. Ebay is different, you can have as many ebay accounts as you like one for each day of the week if you want.

OPEN registrations at Blutopia until new year. If you want an account sign up now!

They are not like eBay, lol.

How about something close but ironic, like ... Thomas Shaft ... (with your theme song --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFvRvSxsW-I )

Well, they're bound to figure out eventually. I'm just not gonna tell anyone who I am.

Just use an alias that sounds real?

That's kinda ridiculous. Even eBay allows you to use a nickname. Besides, I hate my real name.

They do actually. It is due to the fact that collector's offer trades and sales and keeping an eye on these is easier and safer if people know who you really are.

@ TomArrow "Do they really expect you to use your actual real name on that forum?" -- Even my actual name doesn't work for them. What, they're too good for BronzeTitan? (Hmmpf! Where's my sword?)

It's also where I got my Daredevil Theatrical print for $100.00+shipping.

It's a good forum with nice people. I've made some lasting contacts there.

Hey guys, Blutopia registration is open I think

Do they really expect you to use your actual real name on that forum? That seems kinda wrong

Thanks!

The forum is www.35mmforum.com

And does anyone have a link to that forum for print owners?

If anyone knows or hears of a Star Trek The Motion Picture print coming up for scale (or an owner who's willing to let it be scanned), let me know ASAP

Yeah, I'd like ST5 as well.

No jonno, you're not. I expressed the same excitement when I saw the listing.

I can't be the only one who actually enjoys Trek V - a film scan would have been terrific. Here's hoping we have the whole set one day.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the process varied depending on the negative as well. Super35 was quite popular but that didn't allow for contact-printing in all generations through to release print, whereas filming at the native size of the eventual release print (with sountrack) did.

Looks like ST5 auction ended ... did anyone here get it?

Yeah IB prints are not made using photographic dyes, but regular "prints" are.

Thanks for the vid link! Tried the YT link for the website but it's gone (or rearranged). Fortunately, Internet Archive has it here: https://web.archive.org/web/201604211704...echnicolor (all the YT vids & lots of PDF docs)

Cool video, Valeyard. I wasn't aware prints were actally printed. I somehow had this idea in my head that they were exposing each print separately and then developing it.

But it's only part 5. I'd be more interested in part 2.

I would be willing to donate to such a project .... like it's any secret that I love Star Trek. LOL

Video on the IB printing process: https://youtu.be/g9S76vtk4Ro

^ Color looks great!

ST5 complete 35mm anamorphic print. About 500 USD shipped.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-TREK-V-198...2629619052 <- Am I the only one who's seen this?

I think things are all good PDB. Just a little venting convo.

Ok I think that's enough guys. Let's try to keep in the spirit of the season

Maybe I'm just too INFJ to be any good, I don't know really.

I very much want there to be balance but I cannot do it alone.

Aw don't do that old friend. Yoda says ... "Balance in The Force, there must be!"

I'll just ignore the shoutbox as much as possible from here on out. Better for everyone.

Do not try to psychoanalyze me.

Well then how come you make a point to say to me you dislike coming here because of drama but you're okay with the drama as it happens there? People on all sorts of forums talk about stuff like this. I wasn't mean. I didn't say nasty things. I can't have an opinion on it because you're here? Or is it that you honestly feel bad about some decisions there and don't like being reminded of them once in a while here because underneath your moderator title you're actually a genuinely caring person stuck between a rock and a hard place?

I'm not asking anyone to walk on eggshells, or resign. I just don't see how dredging OT drama up here benefits this forum.

If it helps, I hope it's only temporary for DE, he is one of the better site members there even if he can be a handful sometimes.

That's just my opinion though.

You cannot blame your work drama on me or this site. If I have to walk around on eggshells here because members of OT are members here I will resign my account immediately. Besides, how would you like a banning from OT to follow you everywhere you go? You also give yourself too little credit. I'd say you probably turned it down because you are a decent person and were not interested in a conflict of interest.

Tougher skin has nothing to do with it. (And I never said that to you.) How would you like workplace drama to follow you around everywhere you go? I declined a moderator position here because I thought it would be too much stress.
