"And the best film of the year so far..."

.. is Finding Nemo.

However I don't even think Nemo's crew will be able to keep that title from what is seemingly going to be one of the best films ever - Return of the King.

'That wasn't funny. And I know funny. I'm a clown fish!'

Oh, and you can buy the originals on DVD from ebay (dodgy though they may be) My friend has all three and they are proper DVD9's not DVD-R discs, they even played on my Sony DVD player, which is really fussy about discs.

And, yes, they are very good quality with 5.1 sound and extras.

I was hoping they would put the Original version on one side and the SE version on the other of a Double Sided disc. That way you could choose.

The original versions apparently no longer exist, so the DVD edtions will be the 1999(ya?) Special Editions.
And because of the sucess of the Indiana Jones trilogy, The Star Wars Trilogy *might* be out on DVD by Christmas 2005.

Yes, and I didn't find it entertaining or funny. Infact I don't think I've even seen the whole thing.
If you get off on watching cartoons have sex then why not just watch 'normal' no rape hentai?

Does anybody know if their is any truth to the rumor that Lucas intends to make further changes to the original Star Wars movies when they are eventually released on DVD to put them into sync with the recent prequels?

Mmmmm so just because the girl getting raped is a cartoon makes it less offensive, funny even?

Ok, this is going to be a pointless discussion so I shall retire to the corner and nod knowingly and condescendingly

I missed nothing, and GTA is appropriate reference material given your "dangerous combinations" speech.

At the end of the day, I'm not all that bothered I suppose with what other people find offensive. I've seen cartoon rape and supposed snuff movies, brutal violence, both real and for film, naked women teasing me on a screen, men cutting themselves for the camera, hurting, blood, death and depravation. Am I offended by it? Not at all. What's to be offended about?
