That's nice. If it doesn't have a proper OOT DVD release, I'm not buying it.

Which could be a sign of things to come, but the SEs are almost certainly what is going to air.

If he gives me the product that I want, I'll give him my money without hesitation.

I don't want to spite the man. I wish him a long, happy, healthy life. But I do wish in vain that his sales would take a big dent until he releases a proper OOT DVD release. After that, I really don't care. Certainly, I have nothing against the man. May he live long and prosper.

The movies have been talked to death, there'll be an HD set eventually, let's just let it stand as it really was for a while!

I wish.

I'm disgusted with Lucas - I'm not counting on there ever being an anamorphic release of the OOT in the future.

We said that before, and we got the discs. And they are selling well. It's a step. Let us not give up hope.

Now, who wants to start campaigning for a remastered/anamorphic OOT with FX cleanup?

We need a new petition. The battle is not over.

Don't remind me. I wonder what awaits in the 2007 archival editions? Unless a remastered OOT is among it, I won't but it anyways, but curiosity calls to me.

As far as fanedited.com goes, I think his originaltrilogy.com thread if fine. At least he gets to tell his side of the story and he isn't being flamed to death. Although, there are people from here, over there who are trying to make him look bad.

I was asked a question here, and I answered it.

If you're so concerned about him, register at FE and defend him all you want, because he and I have already cleared it up. It's a non-issue so don't waste your time anymore - but thanks for being so emphatethic.

Come 2007, we'll find out. I hope he's right. But if he isn't we're back to square one anyway.

With all due respect, I think he knows that. He's not going to winning any acting awards and, quite frankly, I think that he's more than happy with what he's got. And so are we. Lucas, on the other hand...

I wish Jay would start up a new petition or something. We're gaining ground, and we really shouldn't give up now. I've hardly seen him lately.

I wonder how many people sent their back? Strength in numbers.

For commercial purposes, no doubt.

The episode numbering is propably part of Lucas's endless obsession of late to prove that he had this big saga planned all along.

"Now we'll find out whether people really wanted the originals, or whether they wanted the improved versions. I will all come out in the end."

George Lucas. How much stock you put in that quote depends on a lot of things, but there you go.

The look of the X-Files has been shamelessy copied ever since to the point where people don't know what they are looking at is a rip-off because it's so common (kinda like the Matrix / bullet time).

The Matrix borrowed from its fair share. I love the movie, but I'd be very surprised if there's a single original idea in it.

WOW, the reviews for this are bad. I thought it was disjointed and miscast, and I could name many, many better films, but I didn't think it was that bad. Interesting to see that DePalma mostly stayed away from his "look at me, I'm Hitchcock" stuff, with the exception of starwell sequence. I'm going to go watch L.A. Confidential now. That's how its supposed to be done.

Doesn't look like it will be coming along soon, at least not with Jackson's involvement. I'm not into the 2 film idea - that seems like milking it. You need Jackson, Shore, McKellen. Holm is optional.

Agreed. If the volumes of the LOTR trilogy could each be a single part, then The Hobbit could be fit more than comfortatbly into one film. I hope Jackson does it soon.

except the opening crawl, which was added from another source.

A source which they won't use to create a better release.

Lucasfilm doesn't get the profits, however, and it doesn't seem like a vote for the OOT. Then again, Lucas probably doesn't care anyways.
