I have no idea what you're talking about.
AxiaEuxine said:I love all the fan edits that this site does, but man you guys posts are exhuasting to read....do you like anything?
Yes- we like the 1977, 1980 and 1983 versions of the OT films, which is the reason this site was created.
This site was not originally created for fan edits. That has been a fortunate side-affect, but the main purpose of this site was and is to get the 1977, 1980 and 1983 versions of the OT films remastered and released in a up-to-date format (which today means anamorphic DVD or blu-ray).
Since the goal of this site has not yet been realized, I imagine (& hope) that there will be much talk about the subject for some time to come.
Vaderisnothayden said:I think it's important to buy the GOUT to prove there's a demand for the original versions. I bought multiple copies. I even use the revised version disks -when I want to remind myself how bad Lucas's revisions are all I need to do is pop in a disk and find the scene and be revolted. But even I have a hard time going to the scene where they replaced Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen.
That same argument was made in '06. I bought multiple sets, too (two sets, to be exact).
I can't watch the SE discs at all. I've heard they make good coasters. ;-)
Knightmessenger said:I'm sure they are the exact same discs from before. This goes for the prequel dvd's as well as the 2006 oot. So this is just a new box. Nothing is new or different. That being said, I think this is still a small victory. It's far from deluxe or even basic standard but think about it, there has been progress.
You're probably right, but I'd still like a definite from someone who's bought them and watched them.
I know most of us here either bought them in '06 or refused to buy them, but I think there are still a few people here who want the GOUT discs but haven't bought them yet.
I also agree that it's a small victory in that it's the OOT released again to store shelves. Such as it is.
Janskeet said:Why do you people support the rich so much?
Because rich people own the businesses that employ most of the middle-class people in this country. No rich people=no jobs.
The reason there is so much outsourcing is because we have the 2nd-highest business tax rate on the planet. McCain wanted to lower those tax rates to encourage businesses to come back to the US, and prevent even more companies from leaving. But, that's obviously not happening now.

Another positive is that our days of hearing the constant Bush bashing is coming to an end. But perhaps not, every mistake Obama makes he'll blame on Bush I'm sure. "Well, uh, this economy thing is still bad here in 2012, but, uh, you see, Bush left it this way and I had a lot to clean up. Uh, it's still bad and I need four more years to fix it, and maybe four more after that, becasue Bush sure made a mess!"
Yes, that's a huge positive. If there's reason to whine, they have only themselves to blame (but they'll still probably try to blame a republican from several administrations back - lol).

I agree, almost everyone who even meets Bush, even if they supposedly hate him, like him as a person. I bet he'd be fun as hell to party with, I just wouldn't give him any gas money. His fiscal responsibility tells me that we'd stop every four miles in a Nissan to get gas.
He did wonderful things for Africa- gave them tons of money to fight AIDS etc., and I give him credit for that. I also give him credit for the fact that we haven't had another terrorist attack on our shores, but he went crazy with the spending (aside from the war expenses) and he did NOTHING to secure our southern border in the eight years he was in office.
True. Bush is most definitely not a conservative. I was greatly disappointed in many of the things he did (or rather, didn't do).
I like him as a person, but he's definitely responsible to a large extent for this protest vote/election that we have just witnessed.
Oh, yeah. I can't wait......this is gonna be a great 4 years. :-/
LOL!
That one is getting emailed to all my conservative friends. ;-P
Yup. We elected a man based on his skin color, not on the content of his character. How sad.
Hopefully someday, if we ever elect another bi-racial or black president, it will be based on his experience and qualifications. Someday.
Yeah, you did it alright. ;-)
see you auntie said:Home Theatre Forum?
Yeah, haven't gotten a reply yet, though.
Well, McCain won Georgia, so I helped do my part, but it doesn't look like it's gonna help him much. If he doesn't win Florida he's toast. :-(
see you auntie said: Maybe the official site might be the way to go but, you know... I'd rather set myself on fire than search there ;)
LOL!!! Or you could always ask some nice person at TF.N! ;-)
I asked at HTF, too. I'll let y'all know if I get any info.
ESHBG said:HotRod said:They are all the same as previous DVD's released. If you take them out of the box, they are the same PT discs, just in a slimline case. And the OT is the 06 release, again in a slimline case.
Same old shit again I'm afraid.
Do the OT "bonus" discs physically look exactly the same as the '06 release, though? I'm so curious about that.
I'd also like to know if they still have the Lego content on them....anybody know?
Goin' tomorrow to vote..........FOR MCCAIN!! Muah ha ha ha!!! :-P
Has anyone bought these? Are the GOUT discs the same as the previous release?
bkev said:Note that with Creatures and SWTJ that there are burned-in subtitles of some language; Japanese or Chinese, I can't tell.
They're Japanese. It doesn't bother me, since the pic quality is so good. Plus, I'd been trying to get those Japanese LDs off eBay for years, but kept getting out-bid! :-P
I love it already!!! Don't change the title- it's great! :-)

Not really, but I did read an interview once with Mark Hamill, and he wondered aloud whether or not Jedis were supposed to be celibate. It obviously wasn't explicitly spelled out to him, either.
When was this interview done?
Around the time ROTJ was released, I believe. It might be in the ROTJ 'making of' book.
Ziz said:I actually saw both box sets in Target yesterday, so either they broke the street date or it was released early and not announced.
Do you happen to know if the GOUT discs contain the Lego promos on them? I'm curious as to whether or not they're truly identical to the ones released in '06.

Octorox said:This thread makes me think that the best way to get an HD OT would be to use Adywan's color corrected SE and splice in elements from the stabilized/upscaled GOUT.
I agree. I think there are a couple of those projects in the works.
No, it's a boxed set and I don't think it's LE. It's coming out Nov 4th I believe. There's an OT set (w/the '06 and '04 discs) and a PT set.
Here's the thread about it:
George Lucas is not the same man that directed American Graffiti and Star Wars. I used to idolize him- I have no idea what would cause such a change in a person.
My pod-person theory stands. ;-)
