The same seller has a print of Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Is it just me, or are a lot of interesting films popping up on Ebay these days?

Where were you in '77?

There sure seems to be, although i'm not out there looking.

This stuff is just to darn expensive for me.

Ah, Jurassic Park and its weird combo of open-matte and hard-matted scenes.

It was actually common practice for films to have their special effects shots hard-matted. Less area to work with = less work to do. 

If the rest of the film is open matte it's simply because it's copied directly off the negative. 

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

That's not why. It's because VFX were usually done in VistaVision, with a wider AR. For the final negative, they were reduced to hard-matted 4-perf.

Oh right, silly me. My mind was too stuck in Jurassic Park where the special effects were done electronically and not photochemically.

Gorgeous! I hope I would get my hands on one someday! The print is much wider than any JP version ever seen- Very close to the laserdiscs in terms of width, but close to the 3D BD in terms of colour( the 3D BD, despite maintaining a similar colour tone, has lost a lot of information around the four edges, resulting in heads getting chopped off and the entire frame looking cluttered)!

Can anyone post compare pics (open matte vs the current Blu-ray)? thx
