QuoteLeave the f-word in the gutter and let's get to the point: Is all you care about in a movie the over-all story? What about the characters (some movie characters are so cool that you grow fond of them, even though the story sucks) and certain moments that make a movie special? I prefer character-driven stories, where the story evolves around them, not vice versa.

How on Earth is prefering the Special Editions not appreciating story. They have the same fucking story.
QuoteCGI aside, "Aliens" for example was ENHANCED (the scenes were "expanded", more material was added, you're getting a deeper look into the characters: Ripley, Newt, Hicks) -- it wasn't ALTERED in any way (i.e. no change of the already existing material: lines, music score, etc.).
Plus many movies I like have no CGI.

We've got a little bit more Star Wars news for you this morning. Variety is reporting that producer Kevin Burns has been tapped to create the new feature-length documentary on the creation of the Star Wars films for the upcoming DVD release. Other such projects Burns has been involved in include the DVD documentaries Cleopatra: The Film That Changed Hollywood and Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days. Given that the set streets in (almost exactly) 6 months, Burns had better get busy. You know... I wonder if someone else wasn't already working on the documentary but fell out of favor, making Burns a replacement. That's just my own speculation, however I find it hard to believe that work wasn't already in progress before now, what with schedules being as tight as they are. It's either that, or Lucasfilm hired Burns months ago and is just announcing it now. Anyway, I imagine a lot of people will be curious to see what Burns comes up with. It's safe to say, there's a LOT riding on this release for fans.
QuoteYeah, wasn't that the cutest? I went to see it with a friend, and he went, "Damn, I thought he'd stay with her. I was hoping for a 'happy ever after', hmm."

Ahhh, someone who sees it the way I did. I loved that movie intensely, but I agree that it can easily be viewed as boring if you approach it from the wrong perspective. Just the final "look" shared between the two of them made the whole movie worthwhile.

Lord Peeler, I took a look @ Lord Peeler vs. the Fanboys. If this is your definition of fanboy, then I think nearly all of us here can heave a huge sigh of relief.
