Last year i think VH-1 tried that with the SAP channel on the TV...we tried to tape it cuz we werent gonna be around but the damn vcr was stoopid (not us) and didnt do it right. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

Just saw the movie myself, and some observations from it: If Lucas thinks Digital is better than film, he's out of his freakin mind....I saw a film transfer of somethign that was originally shot digitally...the ranges of the colors and tones and clarity of the picture was not on par with film....the difference between the film and the previews before it was very clear. As to the movie itself: What Lucas should do for Episode 3 is give someone a story and tell them to write a screenplay, and then he should hire someone else to direct it. The acting wasn't great, but that was because the lines for most of the film were so flat..the beginning where Amidala and Anakin meet up again for the first time in years was so bland it was brutal...i was thinking "i gotta sit through two and a half hrs of this???" As a stand alone film, the movie would fall flat. I had fun watching it though because of the way it started to show the formation of the empire and anakin's fall from grace (personally i thought the way they were forming the empire, with the storm troopers--and yoda leading em into battle no less, and the plans for the death star, was all freaking cool). It set up and explained a lot of things in the original 3 films that did add a lot. Also, seeing how Bobba Fett becomes such a bad-ass is pretty neat. The thing I loved about the film was the battle sequences. Probably some of the best special effects ever. While i still think CGI can't do live creatures well, explosions and robots work just fine. All in all i enjoyed it but i know that when i see it on DVD i will probably be bored with it cuz most of that movie is eye candy. Personally i don't like Lucas cuz he sold out his ideas that he held so dear in the first 3 films but i think this is a step in the right direction. I dont think he redeemed himself but i think he has a real good chance to in episode 3. That's my rant, and my opinions, of course.... Oh, and a friend and i think we know how episode 3 will end...it will be a shot of Palpatine in his Emperor garb looking out a window at the construction of the death star as Anakin comes in decked out as Vader and walks up to his side behind him. blue skies Tomas ps. the sequences in the car chase where anakin and obi wan fall....pretty good standard belly positions.....

I wanna try it once. Only cuz jumping from that low seems absolutely INSANE!!! I get nervous doing hop n pops anywhere under 3, and the one time i ended up under canopy at 1200 ft scared the bejeezus out of me.... but eventually i do wanna learn to BASE! blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

The old otter they had at hinckleyhad benches in the middel so you sat straddling them...i think that's the best way to go, personally. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

As long as they still fly that frankenotter, i dont care bout having the arava.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

I should be at Hinckley those days too.... Oh, and something i definitely recommend in Chicago is the Second City comedy troupe. A lot of SNL people (especially back in the day when it was funny) got their start there. Chicago pizza is a must. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

it's jabeln's fault. it always is. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

Taking out the DZO is no problem if Marc competes. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

Getting something further than an A license...what a concept..... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

Oh, the keg will be there, just a week later...no worries.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

Actually, I wont be going to Archway this weekend....circumstances (mainly money) have it so I iwll be going down the weekend of Memorial day. Ordered a freefly jumpsuit on Wed.....now the wait begins.... (Tom Petty) " the waiting, is the hardest part...." "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

You doin the peieing? "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

0:4:1...you guys were jumping the wrong days...Friday was gorgeous at hinckley. I owe for number 300!! it's 0:6:1 if you count the two Marc and I did on Wednesday as part of the weekend. 19 jumps in one week....I love this! "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

So who is going to Hinckley tomorrow? I will be there at like 2. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

My name is Tomas, and I am a skydiver....... I have gotten 15 jumps in this week, and gonna do 4 more tomorrow....this sport is great. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

i was becoming a tubine snob, then marc and i had 2 kickass jumps out of the ole 182 yesterday.....exiting the cessna has its own special fun. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

I like boobies. I know it doesn't have much to do with the post. I just thought i would share that incredibly insightful bit of information. If you are sick of work think of this: job = money money = skydives skydives = everything good on this earth so, while the job may suck, the end result is worth it. which proves the end DOES justify the means...like a hot girl flashing for extra altitude...actually, the end and means are both justfiied there...but i digress. now, everyone lets dirt dive this so we get it right. sorry, did an rw jump...must be some repressed memory from it or something. now i go to sleep. have a good night everyone. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

Hey Dave, you can always bring up a tent to Hinckley and spend your summer living up here. No load minimums all summer.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

>Well, in my case, it's because I'm extremely sexually unappealing. Funny, i have that problem too.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

that's right folks, the dz.com record was too easy to get on bellyflyin (yeah right) so we did a hybrid instead. Hopefully we'll duplicate it and get video in vandalia in a week and a half so we have somethin to show.... "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

OK, cool...yeah i was referring to storyline order, not publishing. Interesting to know that he wrote more about Clark after fans requested it...i think him and Ding are the best characters mainly cuz the covert ops stuff is more fun than the politics side IMO. blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

The Hunt for Red October Red Storm Rising Patriot Games The Cardinal of the Kremlin Clear and Present Danger The Sum of All Fears Without Remorese Debt of Honor Executive Orderes Rainbow Six The Bear and the Dragon From what I've read so far, most of that list seems to fit right except for one thing I noticed. Without Remorse has to be one of the first ones cuz it's about John Clark before he was John Clark...happening during the vietnam war. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

I'm reading the Sum of All Fears now, and why oh why do they choose that for a movie? It's not nearly as good as some of the other ones...like why not Without Remorse or Rainbow Six? Personally, I think Alec Baldwin was a better Jack Ryan than Harrison Ford. Does anyone know the chronological story order of Clancy's books? I have read several in the last few months but have been having to piece the timeline together in a really disjointed way since i havent been reading them in teh order that tehy happen according to the stories. blue skies Tomas blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie.

Why are all the tunnels appearing where it's always warm and nice out (except new jersey)? we need one in Chicago. Someone needs to get on this. "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer

0:12:0---would have made more jumps but Sunday's jumping was cut short by wind...oh well, no complaints! Made a bunch of great jumps, met new people, and was in on FallingMarc's 100th! blue skies Tomas "Marge, it takes 2 people to lie. One to lie and one to listen." -Homer
