Not all of us think the prequels suck, Lord Peeler; they just don't hold up as well to scrutiny as the Original Trilogy does. I enjoyed both TPM and AOTC, and am looking forward to Ep III. They just won't have the same special place in my heart as the OT does. I am not a rabid collector of toys, videogames, books and other merchandise; I am a movie fan, and as such want to see both versions available on DVD. Quit trying to pigeonhole us; we are individuals with differing experiences with the SW franchise.

And the fact that some people are just plain ignorant of the fact that they need treatment.

I can respect that, since I consider The Joshua Tree U2's sellout album.

Of course, if jimbo wants to colorize Schindler's List himself and watch it that way, I have no problem with that. It's this whole issue of foisting on the public what you think they'll want.

StarWars is such a nice example, because the original theatrical cuts are - as George Lucas stated himself for years - indeed timeless. Every time I watch them, I'm so totally awed by what they managed to pull off back then - most the SFX in ANH look so 'not 70s', imho. It's such a pity George Lucas is so ashamed of it.

I completely agree with you, MSD; it's all about preserving history.

BeastMaster: one of the many films of director Don Coscarelli, including the Phantasm series and Bubba Ho-Tep, which I got to see on the weekend. Such a fun movie.

Yes, but how many voted for both, jimbo? BTW, Master Skywalker, what the heck is cellulite film stock? Film made out of women's thighs? Get your facts straight before posting; it only weakens your argument if you don't.

No, but they don't have to. I'm not officially a member of any boycott, but I will not be buying them when they come out. It seems that your problem, Lord Peeler, is that you'd love to put us into nice, tidy little packages and categories that suit your flaming ways. My refusal to buy the Star Wars SEs is based in the belief that when a film is altered, both versions should be made available to the public, and not make up some half-assed story about as far as you're concerned, the originals were rough versions and this is the final version. If Spielberg could release both versions of E.T., regardless of which version he prefers, why can't Lucas release both versions of the Star Wars Trilogy? Answer that and I might consider your arguments worth the memory they're hogging on this server.
