I liked the stuff in Dark Forces about the Remnant. Those games will probably be more fun than the movie, but maybe, just maybe, they won't fuck it up.

You people are weird anyway.  I can count the number of times that I really noticed and/or was bothered by lens flare on zero hands.

I'm not sure what it says about either of us, but I did a quick visual and mental calculation and came up with roughly the same number.  I then went on to wikipedia and more or less confirmed that 1/4 mile was a pretty accurate estimation.  Assuming it's an Imperial Class Star Destroyer.  Obviously.

I mostly agree. But I seem to have a very vivid memory of abysmal lens flare in Sunshine. Movie devolved into a worse Event Horizon anyway, so I'm not sure it even matters that the cinematography was shit.

If it was real and it was JJ, the Star Destroyer would be about to enter the atmosphere while people get sucked out the side.  He seems to like that shit.

Well I'm glad it's fan made cause it looks like shit.  I'm probably getting my terms wrong, the effect used on the title and the glow around the destroyer may not be lens flare but they look terrible.

I found this site which has the story of the original star wars poster

http://geektyrant.com/news/2010/6/21/the-story-behind-the-original-star-wars-poster.html



Can you believe they painted that in 36 hours?

Its pretty interesting comparing it to the "I'm a slut" version we are more familiar with today

Those posters triggered a wave of nostalgia for me.  Such good memories.  Also, why isn't Leia allowed to have shoes?

I'd say even though the second shows more skin it is a much "stronger" pose than in the first.  In the first poster Leia is "omg like, a gun what do I do with it?"  The second is much more Foxy Brown.

Poland features heavily. Check out the Big Lebowski poster from Poland.

Well, back during the communist era there was a rule that no American movie posters were allowed, since that would help American culture infiltrate or what ever.  So all movies released in Poland had to have a poster made for it locally.  Thus the reason for so many..... special Polish versions of movie posters.  

I'm assuming most other former Warsaw Pact countries had similar rules though.
