I am having a glory days of Lucas party. Well really, the glory days of cinema. That being the original theatrical versions of the original Star Wars trilogy, plus the Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and the Muppets Take Manhattan marathon. I've recently found a few friends who are of the same mind and miss the days of that style of film making.
The next poster understands the need for miniatures, models, puppets and actors (which could be enhanced with cgi - look to for example Silent Hill, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) because there is a tangible-texture-quality that a cgi character or set could never truly achieve.

Yes, because if you look at the older stuff done with miniatures, it still looks great after all of this time, the CGI stuff is already aging badly..
The next poster agrees as well..

I do. The CGI stuff just doesn’t look “right” on film.
PLUS if you lack a story, CGI does NOT make up for it
Who takes care of Mrs. Owl’s children? The hootenanny!
The next poster is not amused

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Nope, I am listening to the Jaws Soundtrack after having listened to The Blue Danube because today was the first day it was ever played for an audience many years ago.
The next poster would enjoy breaking out the Super Nintendo and playing Super Mario Brothers, if just for the music.

Perhaps if it worked..... the last time it was hooked up it gave a nice bunch of lines
and static..... not much to see.....
the next poster has also discovered that old video games tend to die over the years.....

I have discovered that many of them lack their original luster.. unless of coarse we are talking about the original Zelda! nothing... AND I MEAN NOTHING will ever stand up to the test of time as that game has.. oh... and Secret of Mana!
The next poster will have nothing ill to say of the legend of Zelda.

Yes, yes I do. We call him "Big Country," because he's the very definition of a Backwoods, Racist, elitist hick. When he comes around, I SWEAR I hear banjos. (This is coming from a very proud southern boy)
The next poster is from the south.

Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!
The next poster knows why the Hatter is mad.

Hmm, a $50 bill, a $5 bill, and four $2 bills?
The next poster tells me if I got that right.
(Hmm. I think things got confused there.)
Well anyway, I solemnly swear I am up to no good!

Can't say that I do. And I hadn't heard that one before, it just sorta made sense when I thought about it. The next poster has heard of Acquisitions Incorporated. |

Um..?
Care to elaborate?
(And I just realized, posting from a mobile is really... gah!)
The next poster is related to someone famous.

Related to the Dalton Gang (on my mother's side). Fitzgerald Dalton was my great, great, great, great grandfather. The resemblance is underwhelming.
The next poster has a striking resemblance to a famous, live person.

I've been told I look a bit like Shooter Jennings, but not strikingly so. And most people don't even know who Shooter is anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
(Ms. Adler, as I believe you have some knowledge of D&D, you might be interested to search Youtube for Acquisitions Incorporated; their PAX videos are hilarious and awesome, and they have a podcast on Wizards of the Coast's website.)
The next poster was famous at one time.

I broke my toe while surfing (long story). I'm safer out of the water.
The next poster can't swim...in jello...without water wings.
