I was hoping someone here would pick up this project again! I have the Blacksvn disc, and it's better than having a videotape but it could indeed really use improving on. A well-done laserdisc capture, sweetened up and converted to 16:9 would be a real treat...I'm really glad you've got the LD and the capping ability to get it started, SilverWook.

I caught a Portland screening of THX-1138 a few years before the director's cut came out. The print was in really bad shape, but man was it great to see it in a theater! I had intended to see the director's cut in the theater when it came out as well, but it was a 3-hour drive from Houston to Austin at the time, and I didn't make it. Oh well. Now I own it on DVD.

I actually like the director's cut on one level, but again...hate that the original has now been suppressed because of it. If Lucas makes the original pre-digital THX-1138 available on Blu-ray, you'll never hear any more complaints from me about that film. And if I may be allowed to dream, all 3 versions of the film (WB cut, restored Lucas cut, and director's cut) on Blu-ray, Blade Runner-style.

And while we're at it, Uncle George, how about the same for a little movie called Star Wars?
