Well, it was posted on Slashdot with the title, "South Park spoof of Star Wars." So one would presume (at least I did) it was a parody of Star Wars using South Park characters. So then it rolls back to, why watch it if you know it contains South Park?
Unless you were referred to the site from somewhere else, then one would wonder why comment about it on Slashdot, and not to your friend directly...
The ORIGINAL Star Trek was very good.

And, I'm not talking about the TV Series either. I'm speaking of the original book version; it had epic scope with nearly believable storyline.
Some thought the original TV Series was a bad rip-off of the books! I thought Star Trek TNG was a poorly done product in comparison to the original TV Series. At least, the original TV Series TRIED to deliver the flavor of the book.
Now, it's just a bunch of special effects with second rate acting and predictable plots. Special Effects should enhance rather than be the storyline.:(

I know, right? You'd think these people would have keeled over in agony by now, but nope. They're still out there taking the time to actually go INTO the articles that are causing them so much misery and tell everyone about it.
Might wanna try #movieworld also, I just happen to help run that channel. We usually have good stuff on our dump sites, and things get continually ripped by members.
I hereby retract my comment on the comments on the latest posting by Jon Katz. These one outdoes every other Commentforum I have seen yet.
I remember reading an article in an in-flight magazine (United Airline's magazine, IIRC) where the author related her experiences upon acquiring an AOL account and heading for their chatrooms. She was immediately accosted by someone bearing the nickname ``DemonBoy'' who claimed to be fourteen years old and proceeded to spout what he thought were obscene comments (but were actually quite uncreative). The author asked the question: ``Have we built this nationwide network simply for this kind of mental masturbation?'' The question is apt indeed.

If you really don't enjoy the spoofs/parodies, then simply don't watch them. You seem to be rather upset ("It's just pathetic"), and I don't see why you would upset yourself purposly by watching these parodies.
It worked fine at home on my Win9X box. Craps out after 2 seconds at work on my NT4 box. I don't have any other QT movies handy to test; is it general to QT3/NT4 or specific to the Star Wars trailer?
Gee, it must have been expensive to set up an entertainment center good enough to forgo a visit to a theatre to see Star Wars I. I guess it would be more convenient than waiting for a couple hours in line, maybe.
I'm not sure which will get bigger, VCD or DVD. My bet is on DVD, because the quality I've seen suggests that DVD, or at least properly done DVD, is better quality than VCD.

I had the same problem with NT4. Pile a poo it is. I suggest going to www.countingdown.com and downloading one of the MPEG encrypted versions. That way there's a million and one different players you can use.
So, would you call this Trailer Park?

This was posted under the topic 'humor' rather than 'star wars'. Hmm, how long before we get more than one topic for an item? But, anyway, it's not the software that's broken in this case.
you guys are obviously too young to enjoy star wars. i, for one, am taking may 19th off from my job at an extremely large chip-manufacturing employer and will watch the new star wars episode at LEAST twice in that day.
go george lucas, and thank you rob.

I got an AVI zipped (13Mb) an it was fine. (Love that T1 at work) and every one in the office didn't have a problem. You probably have a crappy old machine that should have been retired years ago.
