Also, my "Han Shot First" clip has gotten over 5,000 additional hits since the CNN article. I changed the text last nite to drive the point home more forcefully for the benefit of anyone who isn't aware of the history.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. :-)

I sometimes wonder if you should remove the zoom tag so that it stays boxed in on all four sides like on the official release.

I wish somebody would make a youtube video that skillfully shows non anamorphic vs anamorphic in the same video.

Until then, I think Spice Girls "Stop" is the best example. Both are official uploads but the EMI one is a much higher quality that takes advantage of the widescreen frame.

If he were posting here we would be posting pictures of tuna sandwiches and ice-cream by now.  

Now please excuse me while I run Catherine Zeta Jones through the laser avoidance dance routine.

 

  ROFLMAO!

That was me. My first comment showed up, then I felt myself getting sucked into the old star wars arguing vortex, aka the Go-mertonic nebula.

   LOL!  The 'nebula' has returned over at TF.N.

That's a good point- maybe I should revert the clips back to letterboxed to better illustrate the point.

Thanks for commenting on my ROTJ clip, btw. You have no idea how many "It makes more sense for Hayden to be a force ghost because...." comments I get every day (most of which I delete). UGH!

 I'm actually curious, why some people would think it would make more sense to see Hayden... Could you maybe post some of the comments you get? (If you can remember them)

The idea I've heard is that, since he "ceased to be Anakin Skywalker" when he turned to the Dark Side in ROTS, the Force ghost should depict him as he was before he turned.

This theory, however, fails to take into account the fact that he redeemed himself in ROTJ, thus becoming Anakin Skywalker once more.

Also makes it look like Obi-wan made the chump choice. "You mean I've got to be Alec Guiness for eternity, while the guy who spent most of his life trying to kill everything gets to be twenty-something? Screw that!"

I hate that line of reasoning because it is wrong.

Obi-Wan says "he ceased to be Anakin Skywalker." Vader says, "That name no longer has any meaning to me." They both think Vader is an irredeemable being, no longer Anakin. They are both wrong.

There's this other guy, Luke,  the hero of the movie, who points out that it's Vader's "true name" and that there is still good in him and that Vader really is Anakin Skywalker. In the end LUKE IS RIGHT. Everyone else is wrong.

I wish they'd hurry up and put Judi Dench into Goldfinger already, it just makes more sense now.
