Kershner liked the windows. The wampa he seemed not sold on.
As time goes by, the labeling and preservation really is the main thing, since it gets creepier every year that so many people don't even know that anything has been done to the movies. That's the most orwellian thing about it. Yeah, that's melodramatic but hey, I don't know what else to call it when millions of people can be made to believe a falsehood purely from one guy being rich enough to make it seem true to them.
edit-probably worth repeating this kershner quote:
“I hate slick films, because to me slick means polished with all the bumps and seams taken out. I think Empire is not slick because it’s bumpy in places, and a little ragged, and terribly real… Those things lend a sense of something that has been handmade, not machine made. Empire is not a machine-made film. It’s a handmade film and it has all the imperfections of anything that’s handmade.”
