Well, I support them but I do love your work, Harmy.
I guess I was just getting used to the idea of this preservation being “definitive”, if there truly can be such a thing. And the concept of it being somehow supplanted by Team -1 makes me feel a bit defensive.
I know. It’s silly.
I actually never considered it definitive in any sense of the word - I always said it was meant to be a placeholder version until something better came along and now it has and I’m glad for it 😃
Good news for those who prefer the polished image quality offered by the Despecialized Edition to the more authentic (in the sense of watching a fairly clean 4th generation copy in the cinema) Negative 1 version, is that I can now make a version of it, that will be both closer to the original version and also completely HD. It will take time though, so I recommend that you enjoy the Silver Screen Edition, which is an amazing achivement million years in the making, on your screens, this winter. 😄
