Fair enough.  Although I find it a bit odd that, given that you would prefer the original version, that you aren't even curious to see Harmy's version.  Most of it uses the blu ray as its base, and even improve on it because of the color palette and soundtrack.

Maybe danny_boy's really this guy:

I just don't understand....why some people insist on....writing posts like this....I mean....it's not just danny_boy....I see this from all different kinds of people....Do they really think that this is an acceptable....substitute....for using proper punctuation?

I also....hate....when posts like this end with such long trails of periods....it's like adding diarrhea icing....to the shit cake................................................................

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

 Am I one of those people...? ;) Seriously, though, my frequent use of ellipses is a quirk of my writing which I try to avoid, but it's just the way I write and speak.... I don't tend to do it at the expense of proper punctuation, however (unless I'm trying to convey trailing off, as I try to represent how I would say something aloud as much as possible in a forum setting, through the use of punctuation and emoticons).

Nope. I normally don't care about this, but I'm seeing it A LOT lately.

While we're whining about punctuation, I hate when people end questions in periods, or omit spaces after their commas.

I believe he was joking, given his use of both subjects of my complaint.

My post was meant to be ironic (a non-question ending with a question mark), though I guess that was lost in translation.

Ah. I believe your choice of wording, which would tend to be ended in a questioning way in speech, is to blame (obviously, me not being observant can be immediately discounted).

 No, not true.

 

Hey dude....I can get more of a kick from watching that 1982 VHS tape than watching the 2011 blu ray..........but I will still acknowledge that the 2011 bLu ray is superior in technical quality.

 Beating a horse that's been dead for several pages now is not the same thing as "just saying."

Could you elaborate?

I saw Star Wars in 1977. Many, many, many times. For 3 years it was just Star Wars...period. I saw it in good theaters, cheap theaters and drive-ins with those clunky metal speakers you hang on your window. The screen and sound quality never subtracted from the excitement. I can watch the original cut right now, over 30 years later, on some beat up VHS tape and enjoy it. It's the story that makes this movie. Nothing? else.

Fan edits don't interest me.

But I am not going to stop or criticize  other people who dig fan edits from watching and enjoying them.

The Blu ray's color palette looks fantastic on my set up.

No....it may not be faithful to the original look of the film(although nobody really knows or remembers what the original look of the film is) but that does not mean it looks bad.

Because he already knows it will look like crap on his super awesome display.

It is because I don't watch fan edits irrespective of whether they look good or bad on "my super awesome display".....comprende?

The 35mm IB Technicolor prints come pretty close by definition, so I wouldn't say nobody.

 I'm pretty sure you're the only one here who needs elaboration, so I'm going to say...no.
