This would be pretty funny, actually. Too bad I doubt that they would do this if there was a chance he would badmouth the SE. They probably have him paid off to talk about how his models were good for 1977, but how much more impressive the CGI of today is. Still, I think this would be interesting to see. What is this, exactly? A program on TV? A live event? Will it be recorded in any way and perserved? It would be great to have.

Perhaps, but it will force someone to admit that changes were made. And as we don't know the guy, neither argument about his beliefs would be valide.

Did I misread or was the error that it wasn't present at all on the disc or that it was the wrong track? I'm sure Warner will replace them both when I call again (tried today, they're way too busy).

The 2.0 mix was a downmix of the 5.1 mix, rather than the ORIGINAL 2.0 which will be on the corrected disc.

I was thinking along similar lines to Gaf. Perhaps Lorne will be using this opportunity to "spread the word".

I hope and wish so, but I doubt that it would matter anyways.

You mistunderstand me. There is a difference between "attack on the fans" and "caring shit about the fans". The former one implies emotional involvement, while the latter does not. I don´t sense any emotional involvement towards the fans regarding the 2004SE and the OOT release. Only marketing.

I guess this goes back to the percentage of fans that care about not having the OOT. Personally I don't think it was that high... if it was, then the last release would've sold better.

I thought that it did sell well. It spent some time in Amazon.com's top ten. There is a significant number of individuals who want the OOT. Not everyone in the world, certainly, but many, many people.

if they sold well, they'll be released again, hopefully the way people want them... that was actually a time when you needed to buy SW DVD's...

I hope so, but what makes one think so?

Especially after the Tom and Jerry fiaso. It took MAJOR balls on the part of WB to admit to and fix their mistake, and they deserve full credit for it.

An organization like this should have caught these errors before they were sold, and there's simply no excuse for such shoddy quality management. I'm very releived they're taking a step to rectify the mistake, but it's not the "right thing" in my book.

True, but they also could have ignored the problem completely. Instead they are fixing it. They deserve credit for that, even if the mistake should not have happened.

As far as I'm concerned, the right thing would be to recall the discs and issue corrected ones to retailers.

I'd imagine that eventually they will.

To this day, I have never purchased the Back to the Future set because I don't think it's my responsiblity to purchase a DVD, then call to have a replacement sent, and then wait for that replacement to arrive. Universal has, as far as I know, never issued corrected sets to retailers.

They did. I own them. Again, at least Universal admitted to the mistake and listen to criticism. No, it houldn't have happened. But the did go out of their way to fix it.

I think that now that the time for the limitied edition is running out, they want to sell as many copies as they can. As the first week sales indicated, there is a market for the OOT, at the least. I hope it's part of an experiment, but I doubt it.

Bad news, Supes fanboys. Very, very bad news indeed.

And an SR sequel has been greelit, with Singer's claim that he can "go Wrath of Kahn on it."

There is still hope. Those interested in politely making their feelings on the issue are advised to check out this contact list: http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1164129588 (Why can't I get the blasted hyperlinks to work?). Flaming them with angry letters won't help, as I'm sure everyone here knows, but some intelligent constructive criticism would be good, and I know that TZers are up to it. Just FYI, in case anyone is interested. Cross your fingers. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but there's always a chance.

Well, so of us are Jackson fans, so watch it

. Besides, it's odds on that they'd pick someone worse.

Ratner? Sadly, it's very possible.

And Beorn, Tiptp? Well, I'd love it if he was included, but like Bombadil, I'd understand if he had to go for pacing reasons.

If McKellan and the gang stick to their guns and that article is right and Jackson does come back and make a killer Hobbit movie, I'd be incredibly happy, but I'm not holding my breath. Still, miracles happen, so we can always hope.

Again, I think McKellan would certainly work with Brett Ratner again after X3. I'm banking on him getting picked for the part.

Sharpen your axes, fanboys.

Sigh. It's just so sad and unfair.

I'd rather it doesn't if he doesn't.

In general though, a new director wouldn't be bad at all. Someone who could appreciate the original story more. The Hobbit is the best book of all time as far as I'm concerned.

He appreciates the original story, it's his interpreations of it that I take issue with.

Sigh. Well, at least he hasn't made Gandalf shoot first in the original DVDs. Shame. I WAS looking forward to this movie. Ah, well. I suppose that there are other moives I could watch instead.

This had to have been leaked somehow. It shows totally different footage from the teaser trailer, has rough unfinished effects AND VENOM. Full body.

Damn!

That got taken off of youtube. Millions of sites, but somehow Sony managed to find that ONE.

True, but the guy's life does kinda suck.

Which is why he's sarcastic - using sarcasm as a defense mechanism against all the things in his life that suck.

A Spider-Man's Dawson's Creek... that thought disgusts me.

Bryce Dallas Howard looks awful with blonde hair.

It was a joke.
