Every time someone claims that, he or she should be banned immediately form this forum. I can´t hear it anymore. I mean, the DVD format reaches its 10th birthday soon, and yet there are still so many uninformed people around spreading their filth, it´s not funny anymore.
I mean, isn´t it pathetic to what extend some fanboys go to defend this release? We are not in the year 1993 anymore, anamorphic DVD´s and new digital transfers have become a ->STANDARD<- in the industry since long time ago. Yesterday, I watched my Kinowelt Flash Gordon RC2 release from 2001 in excellent quality on my 16:9 display. Hell, even when I bought my DVD player back in 1999, ALL my DVD´s I had bought with it were anamorphically enhanced and still look good today.
People seem to have the misconception that remastering a movie means to put a lot of money into it. During the past years in the DVD era, lots of significant achievemts in film and computer technology were made. Digitally transferring a 35mm film print, what was once a tedious and expensive process, has long become affordable even for small studios. Many classic movies have reappeared on DVD in new glory, carefully restaured using the best elements and the finest care from people who have shown lots of dedication to the preservation of motion picture history. We are one step away from the worldwide mass introduction of a new Television format, which will set the bar for quality even higher.
Now watch this OOT release in the year 2006 A.D., and the people around it.
George is a genious. No seriously, I mean it. You are the king of the masses, the true personification of mainstream. Your opinion counts, and people will follow you and your original vision. "Anamorphic? What is that?" your followers ask, but instantly come to the conclusion that if you have decided against it, it must be for a good reason. Most of us haven´t heard about it at all, so it must be some kind of ploy of the unbelievers to drag your good Lord name into the mud. After all, the unbelievers should be grateful that they got anything at all, since they have seperated themselves from the pure faith, not worshipping your original vision.
George, you should really have thought about creating a religion of Star Wars, since your fans show the same signs of denial and blind following which can easily be compared to radical extremists.
Suddenly, all the years of technical achievements mean nothing anymore. Those who question your decisions are spoiled ungrateful children now. Years of continuing increase in quality are forgotten. After all, they look better than the old VHS, wasn´t all this DVD- Schmeeveedee about? Looking better than VHS?
George, you are wonderful. We should thank you now, buy more, and just be happy!
