Not only this, but I heard that Lucas went so completely bananas that he actually altered the performances of the actors. Using the computer, he apparently made Duvall roll his eyes- digitally! "We made him roll his eyes because we didn't have the technology to do that back in the 70's." Give me a break.

Also, the rating was changed from PG to R- was there a reason for that? Did GL add more sexual material or violence? Anyhow, I thought so few people liked THX that it wouldn't be worth it to pour more money into this.

Thoughts by people who have seen both versions?

I was only able to see the director's cut and not the original so I can't compare. The CGI sequences look crappy but the film as a whole is not completely without interest.
