In case anyone wonders: In Germany they'll relase the "Deutsche Spezial Version von Krieg der Sterne" in September. Han Solo will be called Hans Einsiedler. Just to clarify that.
Because as we all know criminals care about being watched. 1)
Not.
This is like in the former German Democratic Republic. In Berlin they have put one of the many surveillance rooms full of monitors showing videos of public places in a museum. It's supposed to be there as a warning of totalitarian government.
But I guess the real reason is it just didn't meet technological standards anymore. To me it looks the capitalistic Berlin has much more cameras then the socialistic.
1)=Remember the 9/11 terrorists were filmed bording their planes.
Capitalism is as much about cooperation as competition. Just look at how many people must cooperate to produce a computer chip.
Dunno, not as many people as must have cooperated to buil the pyramides I guess. So I think monarchy with slave labor must be a much better system than capitalism...
You don't need to use green screens to make mattes. They just make the process easier.
Digitally this is true. But we talk 1970s for chrissake! Look at all stop motion stuff done in that period. Look at 1983s Return of the Jedi and Lukes fight against the Rancor. And this was 6 years before.
Ford only walks behind Jabba in the new cut. That was added digitally. In the original scene he only stands in front of him.
Grr. Argh. I didn't write anything about Han behind Jabba, did I? Read it again, what I wrote was: "walking behind Harrison Ford". Which is the thing that makes replacing Jabba with anything else in 1976/1977 impossible.
They would film the stop-motion Hut with greenscreen, then superimpose that on top of the furry guy.
Which would be impossible if anything else (speak: Han Solo) gets in the way. Remember the stepping-on-Jabbas-tail-joke in the SE? They would have needed to film Han (foreground), Jabba (middle) and the Falcon (background) seperately. Which they didn't. Which proves they never wanted to replace the irish fur model. And it would have looked shitty anyway. And it still wouldn't make sense to give a standin a costume.
George originally planned to replace with a stop motion Hut.
Just another example of George-Lucas-revisionist-history. If they wanted to replace the fat guy with a puppet in 1976/1977 they would have had to do the scene with greenscreen or rear projection. In that time there would have been absolutely no way to replace that actor. (With all the interacting with and walking behind Harrison Ford) And why on earth would there be need for the fur costume?
No, that guy was planned as Jabba. Time constraints called for cuts and a Jabba that doesn't show up is somewhat more sinister anyway. Hitchcock taugzt us that what isn't shown in movies can be the most menacing.
Why do people still buy Georges crap? (No, I'm not talking about the DVDs)

Now you implanted a really disturbing picture in my brain, that will ruin the whole week for me.

I call conspiracy.
Yeah, you know, I tried to make a joke. Next time I will attach a huge "FUNNY!" sign to my post ... And who reads those frickin' articles anyway?
+5 Insightful my ass.
Those of us who don't fall into the "most people" category use a Mac anyway.
Just gimme my 999$ G5 Cube ...
pwn1n6 my Mac OS X machine? Good luck.

Damn. You got me.
Ok, now these are the real brand new Apple tablets to be released on Tuesday in Paris.
This time they don't only come in different sizes, but colors too! I swear. This time it is for real. Come on. Do I look like I would pull your leg?
And that doesn't mean that I don't find this atomic clock thingie absolutely fascinating ...
[Looking at strange spot on the wall]
What was I talking about?
Yup. A moderator at the AppleInsider forum found this version. Hmmmmm, do you think it looks somehow familiar? :-D
Curious: What was his other hoax?
Sorry, it's not mine. Found it here. As well as the other one.
Maybe i should have chosen this one? :)
Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field (TM). So the thing must be real. Gasp!

Be patient, QuickTime movie takes a while to load.
Huh? I somehow doubt my mobile would still work when I stand let's say on board the ISS.

Whoooo! Yeah! Go capitalism! With all the Microsoft and VHS goodness! Whoohoo!
