What's annoying is seeing so many movies, both new releases and catalog titles, being given such nice treatment on blu-ray while Lucas - a guy on Scorsese's film preservation board - keeps burying the original versions of his own material. I'm sure we'll see the original version of the OT nicely remastered for the blu-ray (if he can stamp out two-dvd9 sets for the '06 release, he can stamp out two-bd50 sets for the blu-ray), I've stopped worrying about that as it's an inevitably in my mind at this point, but it would really be nice to see the originals of Graffiti and THX nicely preserved on blu-ray. I wouldn't even care if the best existing prints aren't in great condition, just being able to watch them in hi-def would be a treat.

 

Oh, and I really hope that cgi shot from the Raiders HD broadcast doesn't end up on the blu-ray, but I'm not getting my hopes up because why would they have put it there if that's not what they were intending to eventually do? I guess if they know how much backlash there is against it they'll change their mind. Seriously, wtf was up with that? Whose idea was it, Lucas or Spielberg? Guess we'll never know.
