Idea: SHM's Star Wars - The Half-Assed Restoration (* unfinished project *)

 (Edited)

A jokey, just for laughs project I have planned. Will use the TB airing of the 1997 version for all unaltered shots, reverting to the 16mm transfers Puggo has done for all changed shots, disorienting the viewer as the coloring and framing suddenly and drastically changes. AR will also be distorted to about 2:1. Audio will be the mono mix with sometimes less than perfect sync.

Inspired by/ripped off from the official 1985 restoration of King Kong vs. Godzilla, which used a nasty 16mm rental division internegative for all frames missing from the uncut version, reverting to it sometimes mid-shot.

Final release will be a lovely DVD5 capture of a VHS.

So, a new book came out and we learned so much, and it is called, “Anguilosaurus, Killer of the Living”.
