We do have Carnival Magic on Blu-ray, but we still don’t have Star Wars '77!
I barely survived the MST3K version! And how the hell did that thing get a G rating? There’s an attempted vivesection scene for pete’s sake!
The MPAA ratings for many older films are baffling to me.
2001: A Space Odyssey got a G rating, as did Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The audio remix done for the TMP director’s edition actually bumped it up to a PG, if you could believe it.
Also, I remember reading once that Star Wars ‘77 was actually going to get a G rating but George himself requested it be PG.
The single most confusing rating of all time in my book has got to be Spaceballs getting a PG in 1987, three years after the pg-13 was introduced.
While we’re on the subject, the most well-known Star Wars parody has a decent-looking blu-ray transfer and Star Wars doesn’t.
