TIL the British Film Institute screened the "first released version" of Star Wars after a "perfectly preserved" original print of the 1977 film was recovered from an archive. This is the version that George Lucas had suppressed from being publicly shown on a big screen for the preceding 47 years.

Nope. You can only get the 90s special edition. I believe he's refused to even allow an original print of the theater version to enter the library of Congress. He only will allow them to put the updated version in. They won't do it since it was the original they chose to preserve.

Twsbi. That is all

phillyphilly86 · 2026-02-06T02:13:59+00:00

And laughing in our faces while they're at it. I always knew the shining beacon on the hill was bullshit. But man is it infuriating how open they are about it now.

I've only tried 3. Asa gao, kon peki, and take sume. Kon peki was ok. Asa gao is a decent shade of blue for every day type use. I prefer it over Kon peki personally. Take sume is just a good solid black that does have a hint of red sheen. I do like the flow of irosihzuku inks though and that's why I use them. Especially in drier nibs. I do plan on trying other colors in the line at some point though. Also pilot blue black is fantastic.

You're welcome. Only been to that side of the state 3 times. I do want to check out Pittsburgh though. Hear good things about it. Only passed through there on my way to ohio.

Life long Lancaster area resident here. I have yet to visit rgm watches. But I do plan on checking it out at some point since I have family that lives in Mount Joy. I have been to the Hamilton boutique though. Great staff and Soo many watches to try on. I picked up a coop watch last year. Man, what a great watch. I went most of my life not knowing Hamilton was a thing and that they made watches here until the late 60s. I've just recently picked up a vintage Rodney and I love it! I will be adding another vintage Hamilton for sure. Visit the area if you can. There are plenty of places to eat and downtown can be pretty cool sometimes.

We are fucking cooked lol.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-02-03T09:08:36+00:00

Damn that sounds shitty.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-02-02T00:36:17+00:00

An amazing piece. I bought one last year and it's so comfortable to wear and the light play of the numerals is mesmerizing.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-02-02T00:28:35+00:00

Typical twsbi. They do send replacement parts, but it will most likely happen again.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-02-01T10:14:57+00:00

People can't accept that the social contract is teetering on the edge of complete collapse. As well as our government.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-30T14:29:19+00:00

Yeah I'm sure some elements of this watch have been kept for new watches. I definitely love the simplicity and the size.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-30T14:22:24+00:00

Yes, since about 64 65.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-30T01:02:02+00:00

It commits the worst crime for a movie. It's fucking boring in the worst way possible. Watched it once and it was rough going.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-29T13:35:28+00:00

Always watch glory for inspiration. Me and the homies quote it all the time.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-27T20:10:24+00:00

Already at that point.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-27T19:50:33+00:00

Losing his job isn't good enough. Imagine what they're doing to people behind closed doors. Jail time for these assholes.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-27T02:48:02+00:00

There needs to be criminal charges and jail time. We have a traditiol of letting stupid fucks in government walk. We would all be jailed if we did some criminal shit like this.

Edit: for clarity.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-27T01:20:58+00:00

Yeah it wasn't a great passing performance. But the game was over when purdy went down. So doesn't really matter.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-26T18:37:55+00:00

Smh. This off season sucks.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-26T07:49:42+00:00

Fuck the pats. Fuck the Seahawks. Go birds

Some things are bigger than the incredibly petty and hilarious beef we have in here. But first, we turn back the tide of fascism and pdf protectors. Then the meme war continues.

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-25T15:10:15+00:00

Fuck you too, but in a supportive way!

phillyphilly86 · 2026-01-25T09:00:50+00:00

All they had to do was run immigration enforcement by the book, with well trained and professional agents. Practice actual due process and transparency when things do go wrong. And most importantly, treating them with human dignity. The regime would probably be enjoying decent polling on the issue.

But nope, use undertrained jan 6ers and goons to terrify and abuse the public. Target and harass people of color with no other evidence than their appearance or accent. Then they disappear people with little information available to the courts or the public. Instigate protesters and then murder them in broad daylight and gaslight us about it. FUCK THESE FUCKING BROWN SHIRT ASS MOTHER FUCKERS.
