Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

I couldn't see the difference at first, but now I notice the grain on 1080p images immediately, and I only have a 55" TV.

Because you are. I assume, a movie enthusiast. And once you see something and know what to look for, it's hard to unsee. You are looking at grain and fine detail that most people will NEVER see or notice. Even when you try to point it out them, they still look on confused.

Gimmicks and prices sway people on TV's more than the actual picture quality.

:lol .... My wife does that as well. As does my Mother. I've given up on yelling at them to switch to the HD channel.. :slap

I'm also the same way every time I'm at a friend/family member's house that has the motion enhancement turned on ( the good ol' Soap Opera effect). I can't stand watching it... :gah:

:lol :lol

He was pondering which kick-ass Jedi he should take with him to confront Palpatine. Y'know . . . the kind that can last a whole five seconds before reaaaally slow and textbook lunging stabs from Palps kills them. :lol

EDIT (to add a video clip, because this really needs to be seen rather than just described).



What the hell was that first slain Jedi looking at? :lol


That scene is just soooo bad when he really meant it to be bad ass.

:lol :lol So true! I can only imagine how the planning sessions went.

Stunt coordinator: "So George, with this scene where Palpatine takes on four Jedi, we can have him really show how skilled and powerful he is with the Dark Side. We can have him Force-toss one of the Jedi into a wall and knock him out . . . then pull that guy's lightsaber through the air - igniting it with the Force as it flies - and have it slice right through a second Jedi who was rushing at Palps. And then . . . "

Lucas: "Whoa, whoa, whoa . . . too complicated. I have a better idea. Let's have the first Jedi looking somewhere else for absolutely no reason at all so he can get stabbed right away like a complete dumbass. Then the other two will just seem really confused by Palpatine's very basic lightsaber techniques . . . to the point where they don't even bother to block his strikes."

Stunt coordinator: "But these three Jedi Masters will look so stupid, it'll be like they never even passed Day One lightsaber training!"

Lucas: "Yeah! That's how badass Palpatine is! Get it?"

Stunt coordinator: "Ummmm . . . "

Lucas: "Well, it'll be even clearer because I'll have Ian make really weird faces, and do strange grunting noises. And wait'll you find out how I plan to show Anakin's turn a couple minutes later! People aren't even going to believe it!"

:slap

And that's why I'll never truly be able to forsake the PT or even Rose Tico/green milk, etc. The fun out of the memes and forum jokes alone are worth far more than my appreciation of countless "good" movies, lol.

Only AOTC was shot in 1080p, ROTS had a slightly higher resolution. However even watching AOTC projected digitally on the massive Mann's Chinese theater screen it still looked good so it should always look "decent" no matter how high the resolutions become at home. The only thing that might be truly jarring would be if they went back and redid all the CGI at a higher res. They wouldn't need to "change" the look of the effects per se, just upgrade the image quality. They can never do that with the live-action footage obviously so the juxtaposition between 1080p live actors and 4K or 8K CGI for AOTC might cause more trouble than it would be worth.

I wouldn't mind seeing them try though I doubt Kennedy would have the wherewithal to initiate or approve any of that with Lucas gone.

I gotta ask you approximate age seeing Halloween opening night?

I was 11 when Halloween came out and I had older brothers who dragged me along to R rated scary movies with nudity then rollerskating with their girlfriends. My parents were like whatever have fun lol

:lol :lol :lol

I will forever associate “chins were stroked” to ROTS it will now be impossible for me to view that specific scene without that image in my head I bet I will even subconsciously stroke my own chin while watching it lol

Parents were awesome in the 70's. Exorcist, Jaws, Marathon Man, Blazing Saddles... sure kid, here's two dollars, go see it.

I remember going "what the **********!???" In 1982 while watching the dog's face open up in The Thing after my dad brought home the VHS for me to watch by myself assuming it was just some random space movie, lol.
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

Damn. Y’all really hate the PT but are really ok with these films? Lmao. I don’t understand
 
Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

My father took me (& family) to see Jaws at a local Drive in when I was 4!.... No wonder I've never liked going into the ocean.. :(

And then he took me (& family) to see Amityville Horror at the drive in as well. I was 7. Scared the hell out of me. Was afraid to look out my window at night after seeing that damn movie. And to make it worse, I had wood paneling in my bed room on 2 walls. One was the wall my bed was against and one of the knots looked exactly like a pig face with a snout... :horror

Great parenting back then. :lol
