I know, but NOTHING at all being said here or anywhere is going to change that, I have accepted that, why can't you? so why sit and bicker aimlessly at something WE are not going to change?
Maybe it makes us feel better? Maybe we appreciate that we are not alone in our frustration.
I could easily flip your point and say that NOTHING you say here is going to change the way we feel about the current situation or stop us from enjoying conversing about it with fellow fans who feel the same way. I've always appreciated you and the contributions you make to this community DJ, so don't take this the wrong way: but you come off sounding like a typical GL apologist when you post gripes like this. Your moaning is every bit as pointless as ours.
This amazon review is AWESOME!!!

As much as I respect everyone's opinions and try to tolerate all of the quibbling reviews on here, this is just one ongoing debate/arguement that never ceases to end or stop annoying me. Do I think the originals should be included just to appease the die-hard & [really] old-schools fans? Yes. Do I care if they're not included? No. No I don't love every little thing that's been added, however I do appreciate him cleaning up some of the special effects - so I don't let those things bother me. I don't agree that every change he made was for the better, but it's a great saga - deal with it. Once he's made up his mind he's likely not going to change it over a bunch of negative amazon reviews.
Another mindless apologist. That is great some of you have the versions you really want, but why get annoyed at us for lifting our voices to protest the fact that we don't have ours? That fact that guys like this "don't care" and finkishly tell us to "deal with it" is the reason why we feel like we've been rubbed so raw. The fact that we are told to shut up and just accept it is the reason won't be silenced. No, amazon reviews nor our "bitching" on this form won't get us any where. I truly don't expect we will ever see a proper release of the originals, the only slim chance I see of it is George's passing, but even after that I wouldn't hold my breath. But shutting up and accepting it isn't going to accomplish anything either.
I really like how he felt the need to add the word "really" before "old school", just to suggest anyone interested in the originals is partially fossilized and living out their end in a nursing home sleeping with the faces VHS set clutched tightly to their chest every night. I'm for one am not even thirty yet.
