Of the 4K titles announced, I’m definitely getting the Red Shoes, and considering the others.

for real?

According to Sony’s press release and provided specs, the 4K set does include Taxi Driver’s mono mix.

An idea I mentioned in the Prequel Radical Redux thread is using Hammer films Peter Cushing was in as a reference for an AI Deepfake Tarkin in the Prequel Trilogy.

I think that using classic Hammer films as reference to deepfake a younger Tarkin in could be worth experimenting with.

Resurgence by krausfadr was the first major Rey Nobody edit released, which I recommend watching.

DTS Laserdiscs are way too overpriced for the minimal audio upgrade over their AC3 counterparts.

My last Barnes & Noble Sale purchase got me The Night of the Hunter (1955, DVD) and Merrily We Go To Hell (1932, Blu-Ray).

This recently announced 4K Shawshank Redemption has awful cover art

Another idea I had was making Anakin confess the Tusken slaughter to Palpatine, and keep it a secret from Obi-Wan and Padme.

I prefer films in their original aspect ratio, and would like help finding an edit that preserves the 1.33:1 ratio.

Is V1 of this edit going out of print, and being replaced with V2 like the SEs (officially) replaced the OT?

Upgraded 3 Days of the Condor to Blu-Ray. I also got The Tree of Life (Criterion Blu-Ray). Weeded the DiscoVision LD of 3 Days of the Condor.

Added the 1999 British PAL DVD of The Shining. This release contains the international cut, while including the original mono mix.

Anakin/Vader should do more “hunting and destroying the Jedi Knights”, which Order 66 prevents from happening by making the Jedi die like wimps.

Here’s a list of the Criterion LDs in my collection:

The 39 Steps (#3)
Black Orpheus (#13A)
Singin’ in the Rain (#52)
The Wizard of Oz (#59)
2001: A Space Odyssey (#60)
West Side Story (#72A)
Casablanca (#73)
Ghostbusters (#75)
Rebecca (#98A)
Notorious (#100)
Taxi Driver (#109A)
Ikiru (#114)
Wages of Fear (#127)
Citizen Kane (#142)
Spartacus (#155)
The Tales of Hoffmann (#157)
Jason and the Argonauts (#160)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail {#168)
The Man Who Fell To Earth (#169)
The 400 Blows (#173)
Great Expectations (#262)
The Blood of a Poet (#289)

De-Aged Alec Guinness deepfake AIs can learn from the David Lean epics he was in to have a more OT-Consistent Obi-Wan.

I went back to the same Barnes & Noble, and picked up the Criterion edition of Leave Her to Heaven (1945). I also weeded Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith DVDs.

Does it have HAL’s Labyrinth of Evil ending, which adds consistency with the OT?

My first trip to the Criterion sale at Barnes & Noble netted me The Killers (1946/1964), Nightmare Alley (1947) and Irma Vep (1996)

Roger Ebert’s essay on Jedi from 1983 would be a nice addition. “Everybody loves somebody.”

Are there any megacuts of ROTS and Clone Wars Finale that use Labyrinth of Evil’s ending where Padme lives? I felt this ending was far better than Padme dying.

A case could be made for any of the three prequels being the absolute worst film in the Skywalker Saga. Lucas never learned from his mistakes from Phantom Menace, and made Anakin unlikeable in Attack of the Clones and outright irredeemable in Revenge of the Sith. This undermines Vader’s redemption, the key moment of the OT.

Earlier in the month, I got the JSC Laserdisc of Star Wars (1977). Sold the Phantom Menace JP, A New Hope SWE and Empire Strikes Back Fullscreen Time Compressed & Return of the Jedi Fullscreen Laserdiscs.

Added the Super35 Laserdisc of The Abyss (1989), which replaces a scratched Special Edition DVD of the film.
