Unfortunately, when the SW Blu-Ray finally shows up (I'm guessing 2-3 years from now) they will make you pine for the 04 versions. And when, if they ever, decide to release the OOT on Blu-Ray, it will most certainly be the same LD port we have now. To think the SW Blu-Ray will be any good is asking for the impossible. I am certain that even in 2020 when Blu-Ray itself bites the dust the GOUT will still be the standard.

On the Abrams Star Trek, I honestly think it will be horrid at best. I've chosen to see it simply because it appears to so bad it worth wasting $10 to see yet another franchise bite the dust. Which is sad because it is now certain that every single fucking franchise that was adored in the last 35 years will be pulverized into pure unadulterated garbage by their own creators (as Lucas with the PT and Indy 4), or by some outsider (Bay with Transformers or Abrams with Star Trek). Eventually each summer just brings another destroyed franchise limping into the theaters, and it is our unfortunate duty to watch it all burn away. I just can't wait to see what 80s franchise they'll maul in 2010.

 

You don't have to wait til 2010 for another eighties property to be ruined.  It might turn out to be good or very very bad but gi joe is coming out this year.

Spielberg sat in the screening room for Bay and watched Revenge of the Fallen.  He said it was like the greatest thing he ever saw or something.  Too bad its the same Spielberg who directed Indiana Jones IV and who thought the star wars prequels were good movies.

He actually directed the pre viz of the mustafar lightsaber duel in revenge of the sith uncredited.  Designed some of the quick cuts in the scenes.  Though i don't doubt the sillyness is all George.
