I had not realized how much I looked forward to reading these, Abbie.
I feel like the most interesting 'Klan' adjacent films I've seen recently were Blackkklansman and 3 Billboards, and now Watchmen. This seems like a good addition to add? I'd never heard of it.
So, Anakin’s “This weapon is your life” lightsaber:
Is ignited for the first time in Padme’s bedroom in the beginning of AOTC, then falls into Obiwan’s speeder, then back with Anakin til the end of RotS when Obiwan picks it up and puts it in a trunk for 20ish years, then gives it to Luke in the beginning of ANH, who loses it with his hand in TESB. EDIT5: Briefly picked up by Han to cut open a Tauntaun. Somehow Maz gets ahold of it and has it in her basement when Rey arrives in TFA. Finn wields it briefly vs Kylo, but loses it like Luke, but it’s immediately picked back up by Rey. EDIT4:Rey takes it to Luke who tries to throw it in the ocean and misses, then Rey takes the saber with her to Snoke’s ship in her escape pod and it gets exploded in half after Snoke’s demise when she and Kylo get in a force tug of war over it. Then, in the next scene Astrally Projecting Luke Skywalker is wielding it, whole, against Kylo Ren. And then again after they’ve escaped, Rey has the broken halves of it together with the secret Jedi texts. Then in this new movie, the saber is whole again, Rey tries to throw it in the ocean but Ghost Luke catches it and gives it back. Then it is teleported to Ben, who brings it back to Rey, who uses it to kill Palpatine EDIT2:, and then buries it in the desert.
Have I got that straight?
Also, was that door to Palpatine’s secret dark side closet there the whole time?
Also, did the ancient Sith daggersmith see a vision or use a time machine or something to make an ancient dagger that lined up with a modern ruin?
Also, why are the knights of Ren rolling coal so hard?
EDIT: Much more enjoyable the second time around when reactions weren’t getting in the way
Also: Are there different cuts floating around? Saw Real3D tonight, and IMAX last week, and this one felt different in a couple of subtle “close the blast door” kinda ways, but I’ve only seen the 2, without a pause or rewind button, so I’m not sure at all.
EDIT3: Was Ochi dead in a cave looking for a dagger that he’d just used to stab Rey’s parent’s?
Except also there is a universe-killing fleet crewed by the kidnapped children of the whole galaxy???!!
EDIT: ABBIE I WANT TO TAKE YOUR HAND.
But I can’t. At least not yet. I want to hate this so bad I just can’t trust my own reactions, [insufficient punctuation)
Regardless of the objective quality of the film, I’m weirdly enjoying the drama, try to reach back in time to clench fists with those fans in 83 who were nearly completely abandoned for 15 years. We represent what’s left of THEM.
EDIT2: The New Trilogy purposefully misunderstands War so badly...
Just got back from an IMAX3D showing. Wow. Loved the sound and the music. The score is doing so much work. It's JJ, and I've read this thread so I know the whole thing is basically gibberish, but I literally can't remember what just happened, and the parts I do remember don't make a lot of sense. Gonna hafta see it a couple more time before I can figure out what just happened.
I liked the Morricone call backs.
EDIT: Read that wikipedia, YES THAT. I get it from stereo phasing.
That's on purpose for sure. This is Star Wars TM, but not STARWARS. I'm enjoying the music. Haven't rewatched anything yet, or pulled up the soundtrack. Are the cartoon spinoffs (er, Rebels?) more JWesce?
Loving the shit out of the physical acting. The stormtroopers!
Cool! Will be nice to hear what you've got
If you post the dry tracks I’d take a crack too :-D
Nice! I'd always just inferred what they sounded like.
Without having listened yet, I can concur with your assessment that you need a better mixing stage. Have you considered buying a couple hours in a studio to whip it out? 'Cause otherwise this isn't really gonna help much.
Listened:
On my setup the drums are real quiet. The kick sounds thumpyish, but I don't really hear any snare, and the rest of the kit sounds like it's at the end of a hallway. Maybe too heavy on the reverb?
Bass could be more consistent throughout. Mebe some automation or compression. Might experiment with blending the bass/kick sound with a sidechained dynamic.
Vocals could use a little thickening maybe, although the doubling and delay are maybe a little heavy?
Another tip: Mix to mono. If you have access to a proper room and you know what you're doing, and you really need the effect, go for a stereo mix. Otherwise, they just cause so many problems that mixing in stereo isn't worth it. If you must have stereo, use the abbey road hard pan method to avoid the worst of the stereo swamp. Mixing in mono makes things obvious.
It's catchy. I'd take a crack at the stems.
The only thing I care about re: terminator Dark Moon or whatever it is is I'd like to know how the terminator grew a beard. Also The Internet seems to think because the producers remembered Linda Hamilton it is therefore The Feminist Terminator. I feel like we've been here before.
Ah. Bent and broken is fine.
your projector has a built in mic? I thought I was escaping the secret microphones and cameras by not buying a SmartTV
There was also a brief period where Taboola like companies were auto shotgunning links onto text, especially in forums, that popped up little annoying hover boxes if you accidentally moused over one. We managed to banish those for the most part, but the real links died too?
Also it seems the ddg folks are only concerned with the privacy part of the goog’s devil’s bargain not the advertising half. Also they aggregate their results from yahoo and bing. Back to square one
@Regan you let them listen?? I turn all that shit as off as I can on my phone, use a projector and PC displays, and no hockey pucks or speakers. I mean, I also use Hangouts/Voice/gmail, so I know they have all my comms, but not on all the time listening in the house.
I’ve a quarter of a mind to build such a bot for RSS feeds. Yeah, my next thought was, huh, ok are there any good alternatives (indexes, not advertisers). I’d discounted DuckDuckGo because the Nazis I was keeping an eye on seemed so proud of themselves for using it, but perhaps I should give it a go? I’d already begun considering how to unravel myself from the goog for other services, but hadn’t considered an alternative search provider. Also, I read an article earlier today on The Verge that linked externally to a press release they were quoting, and it made me happy.
