Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?
Time

Or they’re working on a restoration but had other priorities (rebooting the series); ran into snags; waiting for the anniversary, etc. Could be anything, or what you suggested. The distributors cut though is so small I’d think it’d be better for Disney to release it before IX is released while interest is still higher and sales could be maximized.

I want one, and I don’t even like pressed coffee.

Edit: and I’m not even into merchandizing at all. But there is just something about how R2’s practically unaltered form fits the function of the thing perfectly that makes it desirable.

Looks like Comcast’s people screwed up some labeling. According to the guide, Empire is on three times in a row after the prequels.

It’s to wash the taste of Prequel out of your mouth.

Did it take you two hours and 12 minutes to write that reply lol.

Edit: beaten to it by mala. Embarrassing

It’s zoomed in, just like the vast majority of hdtv broadcasts of movies that are native 2.35:1.

Sometimes you’ll see a letterboxed presentation, like how Spike is showing Dark Knight Rises, but this tends to be the exception rather than the rule.

I don’t understand why this remains the case, especially in the age of 50+ inch TVs becoming more and more common. I mean, on my 32" set, 15" laptop, and hell, even my 10" iPad, I would never prefer to watch a movie like that.

Using decimals is pointless and stupid. If you want more resolution, use a scale with range 100. It saves you typing pointless dots.

The 0 - 100 system disgusts me.

Then why are you using it?

I don’t use that shit. I use the 0 - 10 system with decimals.

…which is a 0-100 system.

Sorry to break it to you but he’s right…

The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **
Time

Just finished watching TFA again. I think this was the sixth time. The first five times I liked it more and more each time. This time, I found myself fulling enjoying every second and excitedly anticipating every upcoming moment. I really, really love this film 😃

I’ve struggled with my “personal ranking” since this came out, but I’ve been reluctant to place it above ROTJ because o nostalgia, I guess. But after reading the review I just wrote above, and considering that there are several sequences in Jedi during which I literally roll my eyes, I think I have to place TFA immediately behind Star Wars and Empire. Jedi is now #4, despite the fact that some of my favorite sequences in the saga, those in the throne room, are in it.

All movies are super long in rough cut. Spaceballs is supposed to have been almost two and a half hours.

Which would be about 120 minutes too long.

I’ve never understood why some on this forum seem to despise you, but on second thought, your apparent disdain for Mel Brooks may be reason enough 😛
