Newman should have went out with a bang and pummelled the poo

from that im sure you are aware that saturady was international star wars day?

Oh was it? Lol nope had no idea.

I stuffing love Star Wars  Imagine if the Imperial death march was our entry tune every game 

best trilogy ever made, the original 3. Watched it countless times as a kid and even recently

Pfft...... Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, still makes Star Wars look like it was made by a bunch of Uni students even though it was made 9 years earlier.
The special effects still look good today where most older movies sfx make you laugh or cringe.

Apples and oranges mate. Two completely different things. One is an original story neck deep in political intrigue, the other is based on a hard sci-fi book series. Arthur C Clark is one of the greatest names in sci-fi, from Rama to Odyssey. In no way can either be compared though. Besides, the original three Star Wars flicks still hold up since they used models and not CGI (compare Alien and Aliens to Alien 3) so your comparison is bollocks anyway.

/sci-fi nerd.

Don't agree with you there mate.
I wasn't comparing movies by plot as such but more so the realistic space sequences and special effects pre CGI.
For this reason it's a no brainer which movie holds the test of time in that regard.
I'm still blown away at how Kubrick was able to make it look so good. You surely can't say the same for Star Wars as good as it was in '77 its laughable by today's standards.
2001 is still breathtakingly superb any which way you look at it from the dawn of man where the movie wasn't even nominated for its costume because they thought they were real apes. Now that's hilarious because planet of the apes won that Oscar. 
I still can't believe they aren't real.
As for the space sequences.... You wouldn't even know it was made in '68.

Both were sets. Both hold their own. 2001 didn't even attempt the scale that Star Wars did anyway, hence you can't compare them. I must have missed the Tie fighter v X wing dog fights around star destroyers in 2001. Go check out the re-master of Alien I you want to flog off an old flick. From '79 and the frame by frame re-master has it looking like a brand new film blows alway both the bluray re-releases of Star Wars and 2001.

Did anyone realise that Joel Selwood, who had nothing to do with the previous passage of play, came running for at least 40 metres with no other intention but to attack Chris Newman, arriving quite a few seconds after the 'spotfire' had broken out.
Why is Newman fined $900 for that? If the club spent $5k defending that $900 fine I would support them 100%

Look I love the Star Wars trilogy (not the new poo)  too but I just reckon that the fact that Kubrick never had to remaster the original it proves it stands the test of time.
2001 was made in '68, 9 years before Star Wars.
I understand that it didn't have the fighting sequences but just for aesthetics 2001 is the better of the two.
I'm just saying that for pure movie special effects pre CGI 2001 would have to be the best ever.
It doesn't need to be tampered with even now. It's that good.

Still not sure you felt the need to flex your peen. They're completely different scale films and both still look fantastic. But they're both in space I guess, so well done. Next you'll be saying The Godfather looks better than Apocalypse Now because someone said somewhere that they liked it.

Yeh good point.  I don't know why either.
Both are great movies. When I watch Star Wars I feel like a little kid again and when I watch 2001 I'm just blown away by how excellent it is.

Your right, it was stupid to compare those two movies. 


Of the other 2, both movies are excellent.

Yeah but he is a geebung darling, what is worse is that Newmo had dumped hunter in retaliation and got caught, so in reality we got quad stuffed by the whole episode, he gets niggled, free and 50 then attacked again and it isn't reversed then fined LOL what a stuffing debacle

From AFL Twitter:
 
 @AFL Justin Koschitzke can accept a two-game ban, Jarrad Waite a one-game ban and Joel Selwood ($1800) and Chris Newman ($900) can accept fines.

And BTW reckon Kosi has got very light indeed for his act of cowardice and ditto Waite for his gutless & stupid headbutt

How was Waite barely touching someone with his head 'gutless'? Two blokes standing toe to toe and one nudges the other with his head and that makes him gutless?

No need for it especially in the first 10 minutes of your first game back.

Don't think it was "nudge" myself but that's a personal view.

Waite has always been a sniper and snipers are usually gutless

Usually but not this time
