A further attempt to petition Luca$hFilm is a good idea, I agree. I think that heavyweight film arts organisations are worth getting on board too. The BFI, the AFI, the Academy, etc. I'm sure it would have some impact at Luca$hFilm if these groups joined in criticising their policies with regard to the OOT. I'm talking about their prevention of public screenings of the OOT, as well as the home entertainment releases. I'm waiting on responses from the BFI and AFI at the moment.

Cool, auraloffalwaffle! Since time is extremely short, would you be interested in a writing campaign to entertainment magazines and/or TV programs (e.g., letters to the editors) stating our point-by-point frustrations with Lucasfilm's treatment of the OOT for DVD?

I'm trying to work up interest from OT.com members so that we can flood these public-facing entertainment news media outlets with mail that they won't be able to ignore.

With quotes from film critic Leonard Maltin, John Singh at Lucasfilm, and comparisons with DVD releases of lesser movies, I'm sure we have a completely logical case to present.
