It is not selectable. And has been pointed out before, its a reproduction of the crawl.

I got these discs yesterday and they look pretty bad. Not that much better than the LDs themselves, and in some cases worse because of the ditizization. As a friend of mine commented, "I'm glad I still have my VHS."

How exactly did you get these discs yesterday when they aren't out for another 2 weeks? Can you post some screen shots?


I know people who work at a rental store. they alread got their stock, but can't sell until the 12th of course.

Just 2 quick screen shots. I haven't watched too much of it on the computer just on my TV.

I've been comparing them to EditDroid's since it's the only non-anamorphic DVD transfer I have other than the LDs themselves.

But I can tell you that compared to some of the anamorphic LD edits from Moth3r's, Citizen and Dr M, the officals just don't hold up well.

You have it off of myspleen ?
Hmmm, that's odd. Over at demonoid somebody called Harlock415 wrote:

Oops, sorry. I meant Mythology of Star Wars. I have yet to grab the Citizen one.

I found a book called "Star Wars on Trial" in a Barnes and Noble bookstore.

I picked this up at comic con when it just came out. I'm about100 pages into it now. It is entertaining and it presents its arguements wel, but even the fdefenders are showing their dislike of the PT and the SE's although eah writer defends individual charges well, they can't help but lob a few volleys at some of the films and Lucas himself.

Just because people confess don't mean they did it. There are lots of crackpots out there who confess to crimes they could never of committed, for various reasons. We'll have to see how things develop and what the evidence says. But I'm glad to hear that the police hadn't just given up on it and were still trying. After 10 years, its easy to just let it go and forget about it.


I'm watching details on teh news now, and it's sounding kinda odd.

The guys said he gave the girl drugs, but the auopsy says there were no drugs in her system.

He claimed to have picked her up from school, yet it was Christmas.

He claimed to have sexually assaulted her, but the autopy says there was no sexual molestation involved.

And even after the guy confesses, the guy's ex-wife says he was with him that day. And the guy's brother says he had never been to Boulder. I do wish the case is solved, but if this guy is just a nutbar seeking attention, he's a really sick one.

A 35mm print is a different deal- since 35mm prints have never been sold by LFL, they are all still the property of LFL and if you own one- it's stolen, so you're breaking the law simply by possessing it.


...
So, what about all those theaters that ran Star Wars back in 1977? Do they just rent/lend out the prints and, they have to return them at the end of the run or something?



Generally yes, they have to rent the films from a distributor.

Difference being the Medium it's presented in. You have to rent the films from the film distribution company. We went through this in San Francisco when we did a charity fundraiser and showed the LOTR Trilogy. The company's name was Criterion interesting enough. New Line was supportive in this. We even got a nod and wink saying that even though we paid for the film print rentals, somehow "accidentally" showing the extended editions was not something they had control over.

We tried to do the same deal with the original trilogy. We were turned down flat by Lucasfilm. Even contacting LFL people I knew directly yielded the fact that any charity screenings of the films would have to be done by LFL themselves -- such as the charity screenings before ROTS came out with big hoopla and advertiserment.

So we could not just pop in a DVD and project it, technically we would not have the rights to it.

However, and this may be strange yet bizarre idea, nothing is to stop people from taking their projectors and showing it to say private party I think, not a con. In fact I think we should go for a national screening day, a con of any sort would raise the hackles of LFL. Unless we do something that is completely unannouned and spontaneous and unadvertisd during the middle of an existing con like Dragon Con.

Zion, I looked up the Figueroa on Tripadvisor and it confirms what I know about that area of downtown LA. It's dangerous. The hotel itself got some scathing reviews. A step above it is the Confort Inn whre I bookes some rooms but the dangerous neighhood thing still applies. But just in case, I have reservations at Marriott Courtyard in Sherman Oaks. It's kinda far, but at least I know it will be a good hotel and I get the nice discount too.
