  1. The gamers are so into their games they don’t even realize the place is being robbed until the fight breaks out.
  2. Robbing the place without any weapons?
  3. Going to prison for robbing a PC Gaming center, and FAILING!
    Convict: “What are you in for?”
    Loser: “I was robbing a Gaming Spot but got beat up by overweight, nearsighted geeks…”
    Convict: “You are so going to get raped here.”
    Loser: Cries.
  4. The ‘This is our second home’ quote.

Speculation of a new quantum leap movie

and they already have Michael Goldenberg wiritng the screenplay for the sequel, based on a treatment by Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim.

Not to be a naysayer, cuz I do love me some GL…but just make sure the first one doesn’t suck…

Chuck Promo y’all

This is bigger than Random of course, but there’s already a thread about the Missing Jedi scene…

George Lucas officially announces Star Wars on Blu-ray in 2011

As rumored, all six Star Wars movies will be released together on Blu-ray in 2011 for the 35th anniversary of the release of A New Hope. George Lucas personally announced the set on stage at the Celebration V event, and showed off a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi that will be included (embedded after the break.) While the “highest picture and audio quality” and extensive special features are promised, what won’t make it to Blu-ray are the original versions of the movies; Lucas told the New York Times that only the special editions will be included, since restoring the original versions in high enough quality would cost too much. No word on price, release date or any plans to release the films individually, but if you can stand living in a world where Greedo shot first then this will certainly be on next year’s shopping list.

…what won’t make it to Blu-ray are the original versions of the movies; Lucas told the New York Times that only the special editions will be included, since restoring the original versions in high enough quality would cost too much.

You know what would be more expensive? Boycott the Special Edition Blu-ray w/o the Original version.

That will never happen. :mad:

How hard would it be just to offer that scene or any of the Special Edition scenes as a different angle or something? They do that with other films all the time. They have the conceptual art, pre-CGI, etc. versions you can toggle through. UGH. Whutevah!

AAHHHHHRRRRGGGGG!!!

Not playable in CANADA! What does that mean my money is no good for me to watch CHUCK. They almost ask that I illegally download it. Witch of course I would never do…:mad:

I feel you…LOVE star Wars…but sometimes…sometimes…Lucas…make…THE OPERATOR…ANGRY!!! RAHHHHHHH!!!..ooo! Piece of candy!ooo! Piece of candy!ooo! Piece of candy!ooo! Piece of candy!

George, you wouldn’t like the Operator when he’s angry.

… James Cameron’s Avatar is coming back to the big screen in fantastic 3D on August 27, and we have a brand new trailer to show off the added scenes and extra marvel, which we’re all looking forward to seeing!

8 minutes of added screen footage has been added to the flick’s 3 hours plus running time …

‘Titanic’ Getting 3D Re-Release
http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/titanic-getting-3d-re-release-19009

“Titanic” will sail into theaters again.

The James Cameron blockbuster will likely be re-released in April 2012, which would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking, according to an individual with knowledge of the plans.

There’s a catch. In light of Cameron’s other billion-dollar blockbuster “Avatar,” the director will re-release his 1997 romance in 3D.

Lame…

If he wants to tweak one of his older classics and get a little green for it, why not Aliens? I would much rather see Aliens jumping out of the screen at me than a tired old romance flick on a sinking ship.

I see your point…

…however, this means Kate Winslet will be in 3D as welll

Yes, but “My Heart will go on” will play again for the googleplex times.

Operator, you ask, why in the hell would you want to see a movie about ballarinas going crazy?!?!?!?! :eek:

1 - Natalie Portman

2 - Mila Kunis

3 - about 1:20 into the clip below…

I’ll be in my bunk

A ballet movie without Summer Glau?! What is the world coming to?

I was mildly interested in seeing this…until the last 5 seconds… sigh

I need mind bleach…

I thot this was full of OSSIM!
