Love the "absolute" of not being a basher makes one a "lover" of something. It's always one or the other with these guys.

It's true? Where can I find this documented by... well, by anybody?

To insist upon something being true, generally you need something, anything to back it up.

Purposely neutering a mix to make it "on par" with the OT is an unbelievably hilarious concept. There was a lot more LFE in ANH anyway, so that theory doesn't hold any water on any level.

I was amazed by the LFE on the entire OT blu-rays. They are almost on par with I & II in that respect. I think III is definitely the odd one out.

And like most other night crews it seems like our job is to mop up shit and clear piles of garbage.

And in the case of Frogmort, to smell the secretary's chair when he thinks no one is watching.

Ahh, so it's intentionally worse to be on par with the OT, or there is a lot of LFE? I'm confused!

Strange how you got a different copy from everyone else. Wanna trade?

Re: Hayden Christensen's acting...

When i watch the prequels I always remind myself that Hayden is simply playing the father of Mark Hamill's character. When taken in that context it is a brilliant performance.

Just not as much as there is on the other episodes. I don't think I've heard anybody saying "My subwoofer isn't used at all during ROTS" - the issue is "It's not used enough during ROTS".

I don't even see how you can possibly say that after watching them in close proximity to one another.

Luke's worst lines in ANH are lightyears ahead of Anakin's in any movie. I think anyone who has any real interest in acting would say the same.

zing!

Seriously, I think he did pretty damned good in ROTS. The scene watching her comb her hair is the only awkward one and he's just a stilted corny character. He probably read that line he recites to Padme from a bad Romance novel.

Blame it on Frogmort, if he wasn't slacking so much we'd have it cleared out before dawn.

Then again, the secretary's chair isn't going to sniff itself.

Imagine if it could though. That would be wild.

Maybe if someone had just given him some power converters, then none of this would've happened.
