Yeah, but the CG war sequence was so badly edited; it could stand to be tightened up by @ least a couple of minutes.

Actually, I'd up the ante and say that the PT is to the OT what Blur is to the Beatles; you can see the influences, and it's not as good, but it cannot be entirely discounted.

This is a restoration of the original roadshow print, not a bastardisation of the original theatrical version. Ditto Bedknobs and Broomsticks. These shouldn't count.

Not that I know of; it's just one of those things. Apparently some of Paramount's early DVD titles aren't copy protected either.

Why is it that only fat, ugly people want to parade naked in public? I mean, have you seen some of the streakers at sporting events? Bloody disgusting!

I think it's actually cheaper than FinalCut Pro, but still pricey; most editing suites are. Don't even get me started on how much Avid costs.

Of course I got it, Bossk. Nice try, motti; I'm always doing that with movie titles, working where I do. 50 First Dates became Fiddy First Dates, Last Samurai became First Ninja, Cold Mountain became Anthony Minghella's Bloated Epic (OK, so maybe that one doesn't fit the mold), The Order was Pan-Fried Noodle (watch Mulan to catch the reference)... you get the picture.

It certainly explains a lot; I really hope that actors on the set of the PT weren't imitating his style of line delivery.
