Yes. I'll look for them when I get home, in about 45 minutes.

What do any Hasegawa's retail for out there in Toronto, anyhow? I've only seen them at one place here in the 'Peg, and he wanted $50 for the fighter-mode Strike.

Ohh...I see. To me, the first one looks, at most, to be the same age as Cushing. However, the second photo looks considerably younger, IMHO. I don't think these are the same makeup appliance, though. These could be two different tests, or similar makeup on two different actors. So based on that premise, who knows what the final version will look like?

Well, the story is that these are supposedly pictures taken of a picture, so that may account for the "look" of them. Heck, they could still be elaborate photochop jobs. I'm not putting too much faith in any spy reports just yet. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Dangard's right. There's very little in the way of "deals" as far as us Canuck collectors are concerned. <_

No sure what you mean there, JELEINEN. Here's the second "leaked" photo with another Cushing comparison.

I just did a quick check of the mod database website, and the few SW mods I could find seemed to be MIA. <_< There was one or two mods directly based on the Jedi Knight games, which sounded more like what JsARC wanted. The problem is, that none of these mods will ever get any offical support from Valve, ID or whomever. Counterstrike and DoD were "new" ideas, but StarWars is jealously guarded by LFL.

JsARC, it sounds like you want the SW mod for Battlefield1942....if it's ever completed. Other than the fact that it's running on the BF1942 engine, it looks pretty good. I think there were one or two other SW mods out there, but I don't know if any ever got finished. A Clone Wars mod for HL2 would rock, would it not?

Not if I get my trusty Kar98 first. I'm almost tempted to pick this one up someday....and hunt Vostok down like the dog he is.

Very dead. This is an extensive make-up job.

HE'D BETTER!!! The saga's continuity hangs in the balance! I Luca$ doesn't... *several paragraphs of AICN fanboy ranting omitted*...raped my childhood!

Well, boys and girls, it looks like those Tarkin pics were real. LFL just told theforce.net to take 'em down, and they don't do that just for fakes/fanart. *snort* Yeah there's NO resemblence, is there?

That is exactly whay I hated the film off the bat and could never possibly enjoy it and will always hate it. All that work in Aliens all for nothing. This film also seemed a bit too dependant on the use of explicit language. LOL! Even James Cameron mentioned this last summer, when talking about T3. He felt that, no matter what damage they did to the story in Terminator 3, it still wouldn't compare to the way all of his characters from Aliens were coldly offed in the first 5 minutes of Alien 3.

That's what the spy reports say, but nothing's official so far. These pics just showed up last night, but the rumors of a "prosthetic Tarkin" have been circulating for a few weeks now. I think they're done by the same FX crew that handled the makeup on Farscape, as I recall hearing a report that they had been contracted for some Ep III work. Still, I'd take this with a grain of salt for the time being, at least until photoshop-savvy types can inspect them. The "other" SW sites are united in debunking them, but I think that has more to do with petty internet fanboy rivalries (PIFR, for short) than any actual analysis of the photos.

Hey....does anybody remember Grand Moff Tarkin? http://www.theforce.net/episode3/index.shtml#22019

Actually...it is. I don't know what material is getting reinserted, but I doubt any of it will make the movie not suck. <_< Edit: I think we're mainly getting an alternate/extended ending. An ending which I'm sure will still suck and blow.

I admire your courageous stance against spelling and grammar.

Probably not something I'd openly admit to, if I were you.

Ha ya right this is Macross World, home of the complainers lol Yeah, well I just though I'd throw that out there. Thanks for calling my bluff.

Yeah, I remember hearing that they shut down production in the end and chopped together the film. Go here to see some of what we'll see in the Alien: Director's cut. How much will make it back into the film? Who knows? http://www.planetavp.com/al/Alien/DeletedScenes/

dvdboxoffice.com has it available on Dec 1st, but they've been wrong before.

It's been quite a while since I read the novel or the original script, but that was the implication IIRC. The fantastic book Geiger's Alien has a great picture of the Brett-thing from that scene, which is clearly in the late stages of becomming an egg.

Yes and no. There's glimmers of his style here and there, but the movie is overall so crappy that it never builds up to anything. That's why I'm curious to see the unedited workprint. Hopefully more of his talent comes through in that version. The beginning of Alien 3 makes little sense, Bobe-Patt. There's never any explanation given for the origins of the facehugger and it's egg, other than the fact that it's there. Like the rest of the film, there was considerably more scripted for the opening sequence, but how much was actually filmed is anyone's guess. There's a few web sites out there that have nearly all of the edits and alternate scenes from the entire Alien saga....but I can't remember where they are right now.

As a bit of an aside, there's supposedly some positive buzz for Hayden's performance in that new flick Shattered Glass. Maybe this bodes well for Anakin's fall from grace.
