Honestly why is this request such an awful insane thing?

It isn't awful at all. I'm probably own a copy myself if it were made available.

But it's OK that it isn't. If Disney doesn't want to bother restoring and releasing a version more faithful to the originals, that's there prerogative and I don't feel any need to resent them for it. Nor do I feel any need to resent Lucas for not doing it,

That's really the thing that bothers me. Not that people want such a thing, but the idea that it ought to exist and ought to be for sale and that it's somehow somebodies fault that it isn't. People are in all too big a hurry to find someone to blame.

I wouldn't put it past them that those are dummy cabs or w/e, but why wouldn't they be using original hardware?

It's not that actual arcades would be using dummy cabs, so much that dummy cabs, MAME, and such provide options to hobbyists outside of owning the original hardware.

However, with pinball machines arcades and hobbyists are in competition for the same limited number of machines.

From what I can tell the main trouble with pinball machines is upkeep. Solve of them pretty much have Rube Goldberg machines in them and if anything goes off your know have to spend a poo poo ton to get it working again. Hell, you need a someone who knows what he's doing for even minor stuff. With arcade machines, unless the board had a suicide chip, you should mostly he good with most repairs being no big deal.

Keep in mind that the function of a pinball machine is to contain a heavy metal ball as it slams into electronics* at high speeds.

It is going to break, it's just a matter of how soon.

Weird question since I just read Altered States: has anyone here tried a sensory deprivation tank before? I just found out there's a place near me that has one and I've been curious about it ever since first watching the movie back in high school, thinking of giving it a go.

I have not been in a genuine sensory deprivation tank but I have been in a laboratory-grade soundproof room. My only reservation would be that if you are prone to nervousness or anxiety you might not find it pleasant. The soundproof room could become unsettling very quickly, even with other people in the room and being able to see stuff. I can only imagine that being alone in a sensory deprivation tank would be that much worse.

Seeing Skull Island makes me realize that I need to catch up with the Kong movies I haven't seen, and god drat if this isn't a great watch list: King Kong Escapes, King Kong, and King Kong Lives (the last two being re-watches with only foggy memories). I have a feeling Skull Island is a lot more modeled in the spirit of these 'lesser' films than the '33 original, at least.

I couldn't tell you if King Kong Escapes is a good movie, because I haven't seen it in almost a decade. What I can tell you is that I deeply enjoyed the film and that it almost certainly has the greatest mechanical King Kong yet portrayed in a film.

See, I don't put artistry and personal enjoyment into two separate camps. If a movie is both technically proficient and abhorrently immoral, the two cancel each other out. It's kinda like every movie starts at a 0 and gains a point for something I like about it and loses a point for something I dislike about it. It's a singular scale and ultimately a singular opinion.

Speaking personally, I don't judge things in that manner. A separation between "best" and "favorite" is useful to me precisely because I do not have a singular opinion.

In theater it was either The Little Mermaid or All Dog's Go to Heaven.

I'm not sure which movies I saw first period, since my folks had recorded a large selection from PBS. If I were to take a shot in the dark, it'd either be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Wizard of Oz, or Follow that Bird.

Aliens will keep multiplying forever until there is nothing. And if you Bomb then, you better make sure they're all dead. Because they can survive any environment. So they can easily still exist in a nuclear fallout.

Wait, in which movie is that explained? Because I didn't get that impression from either of the first two films.

I like the Xenomorphs because to me it feels cruel that the only alien life humanity has come across can't be communicated with. They're just very intelligent animals that kill humans, and their interest in humans ends there. I hope I'm making sense with this.

Too old? Too self aware?

A little of both. By the time it eventually started becoming a thing I was to old and too exposed to bullshit to buy into it. I also had also outgrown places like 4chan and the like by the time they started recruiting from there.

It's terrifying to think that if were a little younger and a little more bitter that I might have bought into that.
