The only reason I really posted was just to ease everyone that non-anamorphic DVD master wasn't shit on my Hoosiers DVD. It wasn't repulsive, it didn't stick out as soon as I turned it on, and I watched a good part of the movie putting in my mindset that this was the only DVD transfer I had, kinda of that this was the SW release and there was no other option, and I was suprisingly happy.
I watched a good amount of my old non-anamorphic movies, all of which I had to blow up to 16 x 9 zoom, and everyone of the was suprisingly good to me. Were they great? No way, but they weren't shit. If I had to say either leaning towards very good to shit, I would still lean toward very good, probably giving them a B+ grade. I compared all those non-anamorphic movies to my Star Wars OT bootlegs, and they blew away the quality of the OT. When I put on my bootlegs, I did notice the quality drop, and it felt like I was watching a laserdisk movie.
I just think that even a non-anamorphic movie will blow away a laserdisk movie in quality anyday. I may not know what I am talking about, so feel free to correct me, but I have seen laserdisk movies over my friends house, and none seemed as good as my non-anamorphic DVD's.
The reason I changed is I think even non-anamorphic OT on DVD will be so much better than what we have now compared to our bootlegs. I am going to bitch and moan to Lucas to reconsider. But if we lose, and that is a possiblity cause he is being a prick, than I think we have to show him there is a demand for this set, and if we boycott, he wins and says, "See, nobody wanted them, I told you it wasn't worth it to release them."
Either way, Lucas wins, why not atleast enjoy them on our end.
