Shanerjedi,

Thanks for that. God forbid anyone takes what I'm saying the wrong way, the last thing I'm doing here is insulting anyone on the forum. Quite the opposite really; there is so much enthusiasm here and some very talented people, that I just think a little pragmatism is needed sometimes. As you say, new mattes, dialogue changes, cuts here and there, and some new FX are all possible, as Ady and others have shown. I was just referring to those mock-ups which I have serious doubts about the practicality of achieving.

Ady,

I know you were talking about the attitude, and I agree with the positivity. But positivity should always be tempered with a pragmatic view of what is achievable (or achievable to a level that would be considered an improvement in the case of fan edits).

Bingowings,

I also like those seminal groups of people and it's work they produced which inspired me to do what I do now. But we are not those people here, and trust me when I say there is absolutely nothing we can do with our resources that hasn't been done already. Sure, we might make a creative choice that others may have considered and not pursued, but technically speaking, we have no means to be ground breaking.
