Exactly. Spielberg had a purpose when resorting to B/W film stock. I will admit that movies are made that could take advantage of advances in technology that have not yet been developed. And that's what Lucas is doing. But not all directors want to take advantage of such technology. Spielberg is one. He had a reason for doing it and he did it. And his movie is that much better for having done so. You can't colorize Schindler's List, jimbo.
I hope this forum remains here for the next decade so Jimbo can come back ten years wiser and read through some of his posts that he has up now. I can admit that I had some stubborn beliefs when I was 16 and I have had the ability to look back on some of the things I've said and done. I can't believe I'm the same person sometimes. I chalk his obstinance up to his age. I know you're going to take offense at that, Jimbo, and I'm sorry. But it's the truth. Many of us were the same way. You'll realize it down the road, too.
