Watto's Junk Yard / Romero's back with "Land of the Dead"
« on: July 15, 2004, 03:01 PM »
For fans of the Living Dead Series, looks like we are finally getting another sequel after a long 20 year wait.  Heres the scoop at comingsoon.net

George Romero is set to direct Land of the Dead, a horror film that picks up on the zombie saga he hatched with Night of the Living Dead and continued with Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead. Variety says the film, from Romero's own script, will begin production in October in Winnipeg or Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was the site of shooting for Romero's original 1968 zombie trilogy.

In the film, the zombies having taken over the world and those left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps. Anarchy rules the streets, with the wealthy insulated and living in fortified skyscrapers.

The drama revolves around a group of scavengers who must thwart an attempt to overthrow the city while the dead are evolving from brainless slow-moving creatures into more advanced creatures.

With the arrival of the DVDs in a few months it seems strange that no one has leaked info on the reported changes ???  I thought these DVD's were screened within the last month or so?  If not, shouldnt they have been?  We've heard alot of rumors but where are the facts.  Good heads up with Scott on the OTC exclusive Emperor pic which shows Ian McDirmad in the pic.  But what about the other rumors?  Supposedly we also have a cleaned up Jabba scene and sped up lightsaber duel for ANH.  Also the insertion of Hayden Christensen in ROTJ in both the helmet removal scene and Jedi Spirit scene (which pictures have surfaced).  What other changes are rumored to take place?

154
So whats going to happen:

1.  Death Penalty
2.  Life in Prison
3.  Attempt to Escape via Al Queda or other Extremist Group

Not sure if anyone followed any of the court proceedings today, but its obvious that the guy is an obvious paranoid schizo and quite insane at that.

Original Trilogy Collection / Who's getting bored?
« on: June 3, 2004, 11:36 AM »
Im talking with the whole Star Wars line in general.  I certainly am.  With all of these repacks heading our way, my first thought was a ton of negativity toward Hasbro.  But you know what?  Im running out of space and the influx of these rehashes is going to save me a ton of dough this year.  I still like the line, and the few new figures that are being released, but I never thought the day would come when I look forward to the line dying.  Let them keep pumping out the rehashes for the new collector and throw in an occasional new fig for the die hards.  Anyone else getting bored quick?

Modern Trading / Have 2 Tanus Case Fresh and Silver Clone
« on: April 30, 2004, 05:31 PM »
I was able to score two more fresh Tanus' today, both in excellent condition and straight from the case. I also have  a Silver Clonetrooper with some bubble damage.  Will trade one for one.  I will take my needs loose, complete if ya got 'em.  

Needs (firm):

SAGA Lando General
SAGA Han AT-ST Pilot

Thanks in advance!

Heres my take on this:

SE Star Wars = 125 min
SE Empire = 124 min
SE Jedi = 138 min

New DVD set lists 387 min on the back for all three which equals the total  of the original SE's.  Lets hope they show up on the bonus disc somewhere, or a an easter egg.  Otherwise we'll have to wait for the difinitive versions in a few years and hope they show up there.

The Original Trilogy / Ian McDiarmid now in ESB
« on: April 8, 2004, 07:30 PM »



Just found this over at the Digital Bits.

That top image is, of course, actor Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine, newly inserted into The Empire Strikes Back in place of the original actor (bottom image). This image has been circulating around the Net for the last couple of days, and we know it's the real deal. One other scene we've been told by sources is being revamped is the CGI Jabba scene from A New Hope. Look for the digital Jabba to be replaced by a much better looking CG version (likely based on the Episode I digital model of the character).

Tell you what... I don't mind either of these changes. Better still, I'd eat a whole freakin' herd of Bantha if Lucas would just restore the Han/Greedo scene in A New Hope so that Han shoots first again. Anyone out there care to join me? Cross your fingers, folks... and fire up the barbecue pit.

« on: March 23, 2004, 10:31 AM »
Was really hoping things would of worked out with Dimebag Dave, but it looks like Sammy has worked thorugh problems with Eddie.  What is strange is that there have been rumors of Sammy recording with them for months.  Yet, if you go to the official website: www.van-halen.com there is no pic of him when you click on the band on the main page.  But there are about a dozen confirmed dates.  Whos going?

Here are the confirmed dates:
Detroit, MI
East Rutherford, NJ
Greensboro, NC
Hershey, PA
Kansas City, MO
Las Vegas, NV
Philadelphia, PA
St. Louis, MO
St. Paul, MN
Wilkes-Barre, PA
Worcester, MA

Original Trilogy Collection / What about Vintage POTF cardbacks?
« on: March 1, 2004, 11:59 AM »
Since we are getting several figs for each movie in the original cardback, I was wondering if people thought there was a chance we would get to see a few figs in the vintage POTF packaging and a coin packed in. Who wants them besides me.  

165
Nobody mentions this fig anymore.  That last POS travesty in the Flashback line was laziness and I cannot even consider it part of the line. It should of been released with the first batch of bulky figs in '95.  That peg could of been the size of a regular middle R2 leg. I always loved the concept this.  Thought that this would of come out before the bartender R2 which is excellent.  Would anyone else rebuy this?
