  1. I really liked the movie, but I agree with Draco, three super long movies are really needed to effectively summarize the movie. Large and important chunks of the back story are absent. Off the top of my head.

  6. If you are interested in this flick, then don't miss the experience. This really has to be experienced in the theater to become immersed into the epic scale. The cinematography is outstanding! Time flew by so fast I couldn't believe it was over, and I didn't want it to be. Bring on part two!!!!
  7. It may be the best "Star Wars" holiday present since Obi-Wan Kenobi gifted Luke Skywalker his first lightsaber. A collection of rare and never-before-seen outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers from the making of “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back," has been delivered to "Good Morning America" by Lucasfilm elves to help celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary. A majority of the clips are being seen publicly for the first time, and include many lighthearted moments shot during production featuring lead actors Mark Hamill (Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) and Harrison Ford (Han Solo). In 1979, cameras captured Hamill and the crew on location in Finse, Norway,—doubling as the planet Hoth— during a major snowstorm that hampered the production. Wearing a blue crew jacket with a name tag that reads “HEY YOU," Hamill jokingly invents the Tautaun Dance, named after the planet’s furry lizards. “Three steps like this, and then you fall over,” Hamill says with a laugh. Fisher, looking almost like a tourist with a camera around her neck, came to hang out in Norway even though she didn’t appear in any of the outdoor scenes. “I’m only up here to irritate the crew,” she quips. In an unused scene set inside the Rebel hangar on Hoth, Princess Leia asks Han Solo if the Millennium Falcon is having problems. “Thanks for your concern,” Solo says sarcastically, giving her a playful smack on the shoulder. The footage includes a mix of new and archival interviews with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, Hamill, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) and co-screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. “Everybody is more enthusiastic than they were the first time,” Lucas says of coming back to shoot the sequel to his 1977 blockbuster. “The first time, everyone was very confused by the whole thing and didn’t know what they were up against. Now they had a better picture of what it was we were making. It was fun to get started again.” The film has become a fan favorite partly because of what Hamill says was a darker tone, where the good guys didn’t win. “It was so unexpected. Usually when you do a sequel, they just want to repeat the experience,” Hamill says. “It was so daring. I don’t think we were ever able to be that surprising again, because it was deeper, more cerebral, it was more spiritual.” Lucasfilm produced a pair of new “featurettes” for "Empire"'s 40th anniversary. Part Two will debut tomorrow on “The Star Wars Show,” featuring new interviews with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, “The Mandalorian” executive producer Dave Filoni, directors Bryce Dallas Howard, Deborah Chow, Leslye Headland and Taika Waititi and actors Pedro Pascal (“The Mandalorian”) and Diego Luna (“Andor,” “Rogue One”).
  8. I doubt anyone here is going to have much insight for that product, you would be better served posting this question to the VPCabs support group.
  9. E.T. came out two years before I graduated high school; I liked it an all, but just ran across this and think it's really pretty amazing for a child!

  10. Others too...... More here: https://www.gamepur.com/news/classic-arcade-game-black-widow-is-getting-a-remaster-this-halloween
  11. Upon making changes to the configuration via setup wizard, did you "update" while within the GameEx UI? If you did and it's still not showing, then the other thing I would suggest is to add the title into the "don't filter these ROMS" https://www.gameex.com/setup-wizard-configuration-guide/#mamesettings
  12. You must provide your own content. What you are seeing is simply place holders to show how the interface looks.
  13. There's nothing like the real thing baby! MAME is just a way to get there quickly, albeit with mostly subpar controls simply due to the vast range the cabinets themselves represented. With the MiSTerCade, these classics should hold up quite some time, well unless FPGA core development suddenly tanks. I think it's awesome to see these collections being maintained, and boy does it take me back. There was no feeling like the one you got being in the arcade!
  14. Thanks for sharing, I would love to have gone with you!
  15. Is this a special or something, or just finally accepting orders? I've watched several reviews and I'm sure it's great, it's just the 2x does everything I need. Thanks for the heads up!
  16. Some suggestions, since it’s been a while and I recall you indicating you smoked your motherboard. Did you update? Add the game to the “Do not filter these roms” list? Use the “vector games” feature within GameEx?
  17. I'm glad to help and happy that I got you pointed to a good lead. I think many of us would agree that it's the love of the hobby and the comradery created from it that makes the retro gaming community such a great group!
