I specifically avoided the Revenge reissue release because the ticket price was 20 dollars and standard laser DCP. On their smallest crap screen. At AMC. Meanwhile Sinners was on the Imax. If it was the Imax I would have paid as much as 25 dollars.
It wasn’t even in the Dolby cinema that was some other movie too.
Reminds me of when I wanted to see Dead Reckoning and both Imax screens were showing Barbie and Oppenheimer.
If this is not the original cut they can forget about it. 1981 release I probably would see just for the hell of it, but they aren’t doing that, Lucas and his vision and all that speak.
Even if I despise the title A New Hope.
To be 100% transparent the 2020 Maclunky cut from the official 4K home video release, Dead on Arrival. For me at least, although so many people will just go see it anyway. They don’t care it’s not the real deal. A lot of them like Lucas so called enhancements. And won’t mind seeing Han shoot second in 4K. or the awful Artoo behind cgi rocks. Of the three films it is the least ruined 4k release. It had a ton of DNR but not ruinous like Empire. And the Atmos mix is not bad. It’s not the actual movie, it’s a redone mix but for modern mixes it’s as tasteful as you can get.
TBH the only Star Wars I’m waiting and hoping to see is the 70mm Star Wars. Since Lucasfilm is not going to restore the oot for home viewing in any century without Lucas’s consent. He is more in tune and interested with his museum of narrative art and his charitable causes and god love him for that, but I want Star Wars. Not A New Hope.
George is never relenting, he is a known quantity. He never apologizes and he never forgives, he never comprises. And he always wins. He likes it that way, fans be damned. Unless suddenly the man has mellowed, and says give those Gen X haters of the prequels the originals. He is more likely to withhold them even more, due to his quote they throw rocks at me. They do fanedits of my movie, it’s my movie. I’m paraphrasing but he said similar things. He also said the original movie was crap because it was a laserdisc. That whopper was at Cannes.
