It's the same transfer, but the bitrate is considerably higher, resulting in a more detailed image. It's still grainy, but Cameron has always said that he intended this film to have a grainy, war documentary type of look and had his DOP push the film stock for that effect. Plus, this is the only film of the series shot flat (1.85:1), which will almost always result in a granier image (less of the frame is used).

Reminds me of when a friend of mine @ 5 years of age, walked into his mom's kitchen and dropped the F-bomb. She was doing dishes @ the time and was so horrified that she turned around and squirted him in the mouth with dish soap. He was blowing bubbles for a couple of hours afer that.

I'm just waiting for that to be reissued with a Hayden ghost figure. They've got a bunch of other new sets out already, so it's just a matter of time.

The Odd Couple, but that was more stage-to-screen-to-TV. Don't get me started on Stargate SG-1.

Some studios use multi angle for this sort of thing, some use subtitles and some use seamless branching. Another example of using the multi angle is Shrek.

As to this whole thread, I think we're missing one shot in these new versions: the one where, after seeing Luke smile @ the Jedi ghosts, he looks closer and says, "OK, I know Yoda and I know Ben, but who the HELL are you?"

Plus there's that whole unknown factor of how long DVD-rs actually last. If Jay's got the LDs, I don't see why he should worry about securing bootlegs.

But such a label would at least attempt to inform the public of what we've been telling them all along, right?

Maybe the Fab 5 got a hold of the Clone Troopers uniforms and that's why the helmets changed, or maybe the troopers complained that they couldn't see through those tiny slits....

The simplest principle we teach our children is that lying is bad, because you always have to cover up one lie with another, and the whole problem eventually snowballs to the point where we forget which part is the lie and which is the truth. Do any of you think that this applies to GL and the SW movies?

So does Pitch Black. I enjoyed the endings of both films.

DAYV, is there a commentary track for Walking Tall? Reason why I'm wondering is that the end credits led me to believe that it was shot HD.

Saw it in the fall of 1977. I was 6, and we were about 10 minutes late getting to the theatre (mum had a meeting, and you know how mums are). I was completely blown away. The one thing I took away from that screening was Leia's line "Would someone please get this walking carpet out of the way?"

I recently read the Lucas interview in Entertainment Weekly, which puts his comments in a slightly different perspective. I'm really beginning to get the idea that what GL and his fellow "artists" want from the current copyright regime is something more along the lines of the protections software compaines enjoy i.e. you don't own a piece of art-- you have a licence to use a piece of art for a set period with few restrictions, or an unlimited period with many restrictions. This is a stand I cannot condone, because as far as I'm concerned, once you own a DVD of a movie, it should be yours to do with as you wish, even if that means something I may not agree with, like the ClearPlay content filtering system.

As I've mentionted before, jimbo (because of his youth) lacks perspective and a sense of history. These will develop in time.
