That set actually pisses me off. Granted, it's better than what we get in Star Wars, but why the FUCK should you have to buy a five disc set to get the original theatrical cut of Bladerunner? I mean, you can get the "Final Cut" in single disk edition, so why not the original? I personally couldn't give a FUCK about any version of Bladerunner other than the US or European theatrical cuts. All the other versions push the bullshit Deckard-is-a-replicant guff and I don't need that. Bladerunner is an overrated film and its saving grace is Harrison Ford's performance, and he's made it clear that he wasn't playing Deckard as any sort of replicant. I've got Bladerunner on VHS and I'm not buying any dvd or blu-ray of the film until I can get the theatrical cut without having to get a big 5-disc set. Why do filmmakers insist you buy their awful pompous director's cuts to get the real versions of the films?
Star Wars shouldn't be in a five disk set with all of the versions, either. Give us a three disk set of the OOT, with maybe a bonus features fourth disk. Or provide single-film editions. And then provide equivalent one-version-only editions of the other versions of the films for people who want them. So people don't have to buy versions they're not interested in. And the 1997 version should be available. Some people are attached to that and it's part of star wars history. Lucas shouldn't be able to erase from history what a horrible job they did on Jabba cgi the first time around. Not that the 2004 Jabba is much better -it still looks like a cartoon designed to be humorous (just more subtley) and it still looks two-dimensional, maybe even more so.
That Jabba crap is a fucking insult. Because it's not just limitations of cgi (and cgi can do a lot better), it's also a matter of how they chose to portray Jabba. As in with cartoonish facial expressions and not looking at all like his ROTJ self. The 2004 version is supposed to be the same version as the TPM version. Dumb. This is the OT, why not make him look like the OT version established in ROTJ? Plus the TPM version was crap. And they even had him fall asleep at the podrace in it, way to take from the character's menace. In the OOT, villains weren't made into jokes, but in the PT and SE that's a whole big thing.
