Idea: Star Trek - Original Series / Red Cliff...

What I would really like to see is CGI used to change the obvious use of stunt doubles in Star Trek (and other series as well I reckon). Not sure how complex that would be but it would improve the immersion in the stories when you not going “Hey, that’s not Leonard Nimoy!”.

For that matter, it would be awesome if the makers of Red Cliff edited out the embarrassingly ridiculous cartoon character of Lady Sun (the bald girl from Shaolin Soccer) out of the movie. Now I realize the historical character of Lady Sun was a bit mentally unbalanced and liked to walk around her estate with a sword strapped on and she insisted that her female servants also wear swords, but from a historical perspective (unlike in Red Cliff) she did not go running around taking part in battles, was not at the front lines, was not sneaking behind enemy lines to gather intelligence etc. It really ruins the historical aspect of what is otherwise an excellent movie

but I guess I just need to get a video editor at some point! Of course there are lots of other movies that I could improve in little ways. Dang you Wesley Crusher (shakes fist)!

Actually what would be nice is a blu ray player that you could program to skip segments of a movie, that would be most excellent! for instance skip 1:20:02 to 1:22:03

Why don’t we erase history while we’re at it too? Might as well go the whole 9 yards. 😉

Well, that would certainly be the point with Red Cliff where they insert Jar Jar Binks type characters into historical settings. But I agree that the original versions of movies should also be preserved ie; Star Wars, ET etc.

Keep in mind though, when most people listen to a music album, say for instance the White Album by the Beatles, most people don’t like every song equally so they pick and choose what parts of that piece of art they want to listen to, it’s no different than with a movie, not everyone wants to see a gory scene that may be out of place in a movie, not everyone might want to watch Jar Jar B, not everyone might want to listen to Jackie Chan sing a song during a movie.

We all have our people opinions about the work of artists, whether it be music or movies or books and we have the ability in this modern world to include what we want and what we don’t want to increase our enjoyment of art as a whole.
