This rocks. I suspect most of us have seen it, but it rocks.

If you're running Vista, the telnet client isn't installed by default, you have to go into Programs & Features and enable it.

Are you giving me yet another reason not to "downgrade" to Vista? :laugh:

The Lounge Needs More Movies Like This. With it in this format practically any movie would be safe for work. :laugh:

I don't know what's worse - the amount of time this guy put into this, or the fact that I can actually remember most of the music, sound effects, and voices for the actors parts and can hear it in my head as this is playing! :)

That's true, eh? I even catch where he missed a sentence or a part in the dialog.

Same here... of course, it might have something to do with the 15-20 odd times I watched Star Wars when it first came out. :-D -- Ian

That is totally sweet :-D

Maybe someone should write an .avi to ascii convertor.Or a ascii codec. AsciiX

Anand K Gupta

just incredible man ! the site towel.blinkenlights.nl is sending the ascii strings of the movie. Great. Anand http://tothinkofit.blogspot.com/

Jan R Hansen

someone did - you can enable an ascii codec/filter in VLC player[^] which does it on the fly. very cool indeed.

Do you know why it's important to make fast decisions? Because you give yourself more time to correct your mistakes, when you find out that you made the wrong one. Chris Meech on deciding whether to go to his daughters graduation or a Neil Young concert

I haven't had time to watch this all the way through yet. Does Han shoot first in this version like in the original or shoot second like in the re-release? If he doesn't shoot first then I don't want to watch it.

There exist such things.. I've seen the start of Matrix in ASCII-art :)

.nl??? Ahhh yes... God bless the dope smoking Dutch. God bless every last one of them! For he is not your average stoner who has a great idea when he is high, then forgets about it until the next time... He follows through on the thought! And for that we should all be thankful. Awesome!
