I was going through the extras of Gangs of New York, and apparently George Lucas came and visited the set. He kept complaining about why they were building actual sets or something, and he said it should've all been done digitally. Mr Scorsese ignored him.
Nothing would please me more than a public statement by his "pals". Marty, Francis, De Palma, etc.
Like off the cuff comments, not intending to be harsh, in an interview about something semi-related, where they just blurt out "...his (Lucas) obsession with digital technology is a little one sided, it's a tool but a tool to use sparingly. He should've released his original movies by now in hi-def, I'm still waiting myself!"
One can dream right? lol I wonder what's the chance Marty said in his mind: "Yeah ok, fuck off now Georgie".
I do remember, or perhaps misremember, that when the theatrical version of E.T. was announced to be the one on the Blu-Ray disc, Spielberg talked about how he felt he was done with altering his own films and would look to the future instead of the past. I think he said that he felt that he saw his priorities in this situation as being different from those of Lucas.

I work retail, I'll tell you stories.
Did Courtney Love ever come into your store completely f---ed up? Did a crazy guy ever try to reorganize the stock on your shelves SORTED BY COLOR (this was a record store, not a paint store)? If not, I got you beat ;)
You have me, beat then, no questions, but all of the scammers, whiners, and idiots do not do my misanthropy and ever-dwindling faith in the human race any favors :p.

Good for Mr. Scorcese!
Yeah, whether you like Scorsese's films or not, he's been very active in film restoration and he's one of the few who still shoots on film, so I say more power to him. He's followed his own vision and stuck to his own aesthetics, sometimes with commercially rocky results.
