Amazon still doesn’t have RO stock. This is really weird.

May I ask how old you are?

How do you know they didn’t choose that number randomly, and you’re the one with the dirty mind? 😉

Jedit: whoops, seems this was already touched on in the 4k thread. Sorry for being redundant.

Don’t say I didn’t warn y’all.

Plus there’s the will Disney releade the OOT thread in the comparison sub forum.

No but really. This was unnecessary. We’re going to have two disjointed conversions on the same topic now. Like Frink already said, the 4K thread hasn’t been about the technical details of the hypothetical scan for a long time.

Yes.

Seriously though, now I have to check two threads instead of just the one.

I speculate the other thread was just fine

Better to talk about something related to the 4k, technically, than some vaporware announcement from
speculation, or books, or screenings.

FACT : 4k restorations have been done.

FACT : No official announcements have been made about it.

FACT : Previews of versions have been shown.

FACT : 4k restorations are also being done by other people.

SPECULATION : 4k release will be made.

SPECULATION : An announcement about 4k release will be made.

SPECULATION : Restoration is for the original versions.

Thanks

CBSW

seems they’re screening RO and ANH as one event, and ESP, ROTJ, and TFA as another.

If they aren’t releasing a new transfer, SW is going to look like SHIT alongside RO.

wrong thread

Just snagged a copy of the ANH GOUT for $6 at a record/comic store. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it for less than $35 before now. Also, five Bantam-era novels for a buck each. It was a cool day.

Maybe they know something we don’t 😉

These were shown at several trade shows, and other industry shows which was the source of them.

First I’ve heard of that.

Also, the reflection in Raiders is nothing in comparison to the ET Anniversary Edition or the SW SE.

Yeah I don’t really care about fixing little mistakes. For instance, even erasing Indy’s face from the glass in Raiders doesn’t bother me. It removes a moment that takes you out of the film. Isn’t this one of the reasons we hate the SE revisionism, because it has a tendency to take us out of the universe of the film?

Aliens is available in both cuts on the BD.

So long as it looks natural. As if anyone actually has a memory of what the colors looked like when they saw a movie in theaters 20+ years ago.

Well, one thing to note is Bill Hunt has mentioned it a couple times recently as coming soon. So who knows?

I’ve actually never seen it; it only came to my attention about a year ago. But with the Blu Ray supposedly imminent, I decided not to watch one of the renowned sci fi films on window boxed dvd.

Aliens (1986) 6/10

Which version of that film do you watch? I’ve only seen the director’s cut, which I think tends to drag on at times, especially at the beginning. Does the shorter running time of the theatrical cut make it more bearable?

I was watching the Director’s Cut, and yes I feel the theatrical is a little bit better. The scenes with the family at the start of the film are so cheesy. The 80’s hair styles also stand out.

In addition to cheese and drag, I feel those explanatory scenes also take away some of what makes Alien Alien. I feel like we should get to the planet and just see the colony in ruin and be left to imagine how it happened until we see the first grown alien.

Yeah, a little too late to announce an “early 2017” release!

Went back and watched the whole episode and, lo and behold, it also has this priceless moment.

Homer eating sixty-four slices of American cheese has been branded upon my brain ever since I watched that episode, along with every other item of pop cultural significance which has occurred in the first nine seasons of The Simpsons.

There are two Simpsons moments branded upon my brain: “So, you’re going to die,” and, “What did I do to deserve this dry, tasteless Manhattan?!”

When you watch R1 and ANH back to back, it seems like Vader is so pissed off when he boards the Tantive IV because everyone keeps waking him up and making him get out of the tank.

He was trying to have a nap for once in his life, but nooo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That Krennic bastard had to ruin everything. Twice.

FTFY

I highly doubt that if they announce it that they would boast all the individual reversions on stage. And they wouldn’t be removing him from the movie anyway. If it’s released, the OUT will be presented as bonus material or an alternate cut. And it’s not like Hayden actually performed in ROTJ. More like George abused his likeness. Didn’t he just swap the heads?
