It's a simple answer.  Universal doesn't care about LBT.  What they care about is making a profit.  They wouldn't have dug LBT out from the grave just to give it a good ending.  They did it because they thought they could make money off it.  If it makes a good enough profit (ROI), they'll try another one.  If it doesn't, it dies here and we probably won't ever see another LBT movie.  That's why it's VERY important that everyone here BUY a copy.  If you don't, they might not make another LBT movie, and that would be a sad day for sure.

These days I'm doing okay with my RAM because I recently lost my session on firefox somehow so a lot of unneeded tabs aren't open anymore

Yeah, I switched from using Firefox as my main browser a while back.  I now mostly use Chrome (but I use Firefox too).  However recently Chrome hasn't been rendering some pages very well on any of my computers, so I find myself using Firefox more and more.  I just wish it was less memory intensive.

I'm impressed how you can fill that much RAM with web browsers though. How do you keep track of all those tabs? I'd personally find it more efficient to close tabs after awhile, if for no other reason than to help ME keep track of why I have each tab open. 

Don't get me wrong, I've hit 3-4 GB before without too much trouble, but I do get to a point where I just find it easier to close tabs versus keeping them open.

I do a lot of web development work and I never close anything.  I also have the browsers set to restore the windows and tabs from the last session when I shut down the computer (which I do infrequently).  

What eats up the most RAM is probably Youtube video tabs.  I'm always in the middle of watching something.  Whether it be a PHP tutorial or a snythasia video, I've always got at least a few dozen videos open in tabs.

I do this because bookmarking all these websites is out of the question.  I'd have thousands of bookmarks.  Maybe even tens of thousands.  But when they're actually open in a tab, all I have to do is close them when I no longer need them.  That saves me a LOT of time and effort compared to having to sort through thousands of bookmarks to find the stuff I no longer need.  

But it's not fun when I restart my computer and open the browsers again.  I've got a dozen Youtube videos playing at once and I've got to find them and pause them.  And it takes a good 10+ minutes for all my tabs and windows to be restored and for the internet to load them all up again.  But seeing as I only restart my computer around once every few months, it's an annoyance I can live with.

EDIT:  Oh, and of course Firefox always seeps a bit more RAM for each tab constantly.  If you keep Firefox open, you'll find it eat up more and more RAM over time, even if you don't open anything new.  It's not significant, but it can cause problems over time.  That's the only reason I restart the computer every month or two.

Not a long time.  I'd guess 2-4 years.

Unplug the 3.5mm jack from both the back of the desktop and the back of the monitor, then plug it in again.  If it came partly unplugged from either the desktop or the monitor, it can make a buzzing sound.  If that doesn't fix it, then it could be the sound card.  Try plugging the monitor speakers into your laptop and see if it still makes the same sound.

Or you could watch it with a friend once they buy a copy instead of going about it illegally.

Nah, I've been burned too many times by crappy movies and software (I don't listen to music).  I buy movies and software, but only once I'm sure they're decent.  I can't tell you how many software programs I have to pirate in order to find something decent.  When I do, I buy it.  The last movie I bought was the Angel Beats series, but I pirated it and watched it first.  Since then I've pirated about 20 different movies/tv series and they were all crap so I deleted them.  If it was like $1 or $2 for a movie (like it should be), I wouldn't bother.  But $20 to $70 for a movie/tv series is asinine if it turns out to be crap.  Most people my age are doing the same thing.  

I used to rent movies before I bought them, but that doesn't exist anymore.  You've got Redbox, but the selection is limited.  Netflix isn't great either.  Netflix will probably get this new Star Wars movie in about 5 years and by then 2 more will have come out.

Why do you think they don't let you return movies to the store if they're crap?  They claim it's because people will just copy them and then return them, but the reality is, the movie studios produce such crap content nowadays if they allowed returns, they'd go under.  Sure you have binge movie watchers that just watch a movie one time and then never watch it again, but they're in the minority.  

They claim that ever time a movie is pirated, it's a lost sale.  That's total BS.  If I couldn't pirate, I wouldn't own 1/10th of the movies I do.  I have a conscience.  The copy of Angel Beats I purchased hasn't even been opened.  Why would I bother?  I don't even have a DVD player anymore (except in my computer).  Haven't for many years.  I bought it because I wanted to show my support to the movie studios, not because I wanted or needed the DVD.  

I'll do the same thing with LBT 14.  I'll probably pirate it first because it's quicker than buying the movie in the stores.  But I'll buy it a few days later when I see it in Target or wherever.

I do agree that I look back on the earlier sequels that I grew up with and they seem more special than the later sequels.  However, I also want to know more of the story.  In movies, they try to make you care about the characters, and I care about Littlefoot, Cera, and the others.  I want to know what happens to them.  I want to see them as they grow and learn and have fun with each other.  Even LBT 13 was special because we got to see more of the gang.  I didn't like the storyline, and the yellow bellies annoyed me.  But it was still nice to see what was going on with the gang again.  And regardless of how LBT 14 turns out, it will be nice to get an update about how things are going after 8 long years.  I realize the characters aren't real and it's just a movie, but when you're watching it, you get into it.  And that's the goal of movie makers.

I'm not around as much as I used to be but I'd love to participate if Action is up for doing another song. It would be fun to do another community project on the brink of the next sequel.

They might still have scenes to cut in order to get it down to the 90 minute mark.  We'll just have to see.

I'm very excited to see the new movie!  I can't help but wonder what it's going to be like after all these years.  Hopefully they learned their lesson with LBT 13 and won't give us a steaming pile of turd again.  They need an actual plot with actual plot development.  Hopefully they'll give it more effort this time.

I'm also excited to see that the animation has gotten a lot better.  I'm also excited that they are offering an HD version of it.  Though I'm not a fan of the cloud enabled stuff, I should be able to find a way to rip it from the cloud to the computer so I can use it in projects and watch it whenever I want to.

I wonder if this is how things are going to go now.  Instead of buying a physical disk in the store, you buy a product key card in the store like they do with software so you can watch it online or download it to the computer.  That would be pretty darned awesome.  So long as it's DRM free.  I don't expect it to be, but you never know.  I guess I can always remove the DRM if necessary.  

Remember people, BUY IT when it comes out so they'll want to make the next one.  I know I'll be buying it - and I never buy ANYTHING when it comes to movies and TV.  It's mainly to show support.  I'll be pirating it before I buy it just because it's easier and I want to see it ASAP.
